There is unusual activity upon the part

Pezin. Jan. 2.-Several recent occur
rences tend to discourage the hope that
the dowager empress had learned a
lesson of reform from the events of the
past year. Foreigners are disposed to
take a pessimistic view of the outlook.
General Yung LUIS determination TO
organize two anti-foreign army corps
to offset the commands of the pro-
foreign Chinese leaders, is particularly
disquieting and an evidence Of the con-
tinued domination of his influence,
which is bitterly anti-foreign.
Other incidents which are considered
significant are the suppression Of the
only independent newspaper in this
city by order of the governor OF Pekin
and the closing of the industrial school
here, recently organized by philanthro-
pic Chinese, also by the governors

This school was intended for the

Hanna can marshall forces to defeat
Foraker for the senate.
Odds Favor Foraker's Man.
Congressman Charles Dick. chairman
Of the Republican state committee, did
not reach Columbus today, as an
nounced, and he is not now expected.
There have been reports that this
was not a contest in which Senator
Hanna was interested, directly or per-
sOnally, or he would be in Ohio in order
to give the situation his personal at
tention, as Senator Foraker is doing.
Some of the Price men, who are said
to have shared in this opinion, and who
said they would. have supported Nc
Kinnon for speaker if Senator Hanna
had personally requested them to do so,
received letters from Senator Hanna
today in which he not only makes this
personal request, but also goes into a
history of his experience since the cleo
ton last November.
He says he Endorses Price and others
and was anxious for such an agree
ment as would avoid any contest till
he found that states had been made ur
for both the senate and the house Re-
publican caucus with all his friends left
out. He refers to the case of w. 3
Uhl of Cleveland, who has only one
term as senate chief Clerk, and against
whom an anti-Hanna man was slated
Senator Hanna insists that there had
been a conspiracy against him and his
friends and appeals strongly for Nc
Kinnon, Uhl and others. Up to a late
hour tonight the speakership was still
in the balance, with odds in favor OF
Price.

BUCKEYE BATTLE ROYAL.
Fight Over the Seakershp Wakes Warm With indications That
Foraker Has Control of the Machine-Dck
Going to Capital

OLUMBUS, O., Jan. 1.-THE con-
test between Republican factions
~ over the organization of the leg
islature is still in doubt, SO far as the
house is concerned. The claims Of
either faction would indicate that one
element is confident of Price becoming
speaker and the other of McKinnOn
winning, but the efforts Of both show
that there are yet votes to GET by
whomsoever becomes speaker.
The list of unpledged members has,
however. been reduced today to half
dozen. These six are said to have
made no pledges to either side, and it
is conceded that they hold the balance
of power.
Both Sides are Strenuous.
There was much telephoning done
today from the home of Senator Hanna
in Washington and from the home of
Senator Foraker in Cincinnati. Con-
gresham Dick in Akron, Congressman
TAYLOR in Columbia, and others were
active, especially at Toledo, where
Representative Denman is still consid-
cred by some as doubtful. There was
much communication with all the
counties in which doubtful members
reside
The most prominent arrival was that
Of George B. Cox, the Cincinnati lead
er. who insists that he is as good a
friend of Senator Hanna as ever, but
that ne was pledged to Price for
speaker before the junior Ohio senator
broke with Price, and that he is here
now to do all he can for Price. The
leadership Of the anti-Hanna side was
conceded to Cox on his arrival.
Dick Has An Opponent.
1t is claimed that the developments
today indicate that Congressman Tay-
lor of the old Mckinley district will
likely be an opponent of Congressman

ne VIII Not Be a Candidate for Assembly,
man.

John G. Taylor of Lovelock has deoI,n-
ca tne republican nomination for Assem-
plyman from this county. Business rea-
sons make it impossible for him to be-
come a candidate or to serve as Assem-
blyman should he be elected.
Mr.. Taylor is one of the foremost and
representative citizens Of this county.
In which he has lived and with whose in
%terests he has been identified for so MANY
years. He is ESSENTIALLY a self-made man,
having risen to a position of prominence
and acquired a fortune by his w ener-
gy and well directed business ability. As
a Republican he is high in the councils of
the party and 1t was In recognition of
this standing, his ability and personal
popularity that he was the party's choice
for Assemblyman. 1t is well recognized
that he was one of the strongest men
greed with him politically did not doubt
that should Mr.. Taylor be elected he
would represent the county faithfully and
ably in the legislature.
Mr.. Taylor's letter declining the nomi-
nation is as follows:

pose of fixing the boundary line between

made all the determinations and calcu-

This was not the only result of Sur
veyor Newby's trip. What is of more
Importance is his discovery that the big
Gerlach ranch, which has been assessed
for years by Washoe county, is In real
ity situated entirely In Humboldt. This
will add several thousand dollars to the
taxable property of this county and is
a matter which should be taken up by
the proper officers of the county so that
Humboidt's treasury may receive the
money which has been Illegally going
into that of Washoe for years.
Besides the aymen of this years

If necessary, suit should be commenced

to pay over to Humboldt the amount of
taxes collected In the past and which
rightfully belongs to this county.
