Factions at Picking.

Peking. Nov. 15.-The struggle for nrecedenca
between the two new Grand Councillors Chang
Chth Tung and Yuan Shih Kai. has been gradu
ally increasing in intensity for the last fortnight
has demoralized official circles and has begun TO
distress the government. The antagonism is
between the old and the young the conservative
and the progressive, both having the common
interests of their country at heart II began on
Chang Chih Tungs arrival here, when he
blocked Yuan Shin Kais programme of appoint
ments. No important official change had been
made for six weeks, on account of counter i'm
peachments until the Empress Dowager re-
moved General Feng Shan from command of the
modern army, in accordance with Yuan Shih
Kai's desires.
The struggle between Chang Chih Tung and
Yuan Shih Kai In the Peking arena has dwarfed
the contentious of the usual crowds Of court
intriguers, and state officials fear that crisis
is likely to be precipitated during the present
campaign Of the Chinese for the recovery of
their rights the unusual vigor with which it has
been pushed being attributed 10 Chang Chih
Tung
The Empress Dowager. whose seventy-third
birthday was celebrated to-day. is in the posi-
ton of an anxious mediator at a time when the
empire is in position to withstand the fierce
contentious of the two great Chinese leaders
whom she summoned TO Peking in the hope that
they would guarantee the safety of the dynasty
and believing that in so doing they would neu-
tralize their respective outside influences.
The foreign press of North China congratu-
lates the Empress on her successful handling of
political problems which would puzzle the best
statesmen of the world.

THE SPY AT THE IRIS
Two Crowded Houses Sec Good Moving
 Picture Show Last Night

The s. R. o. sign, so dear to the heart of the box office, was displayed early at both performances at the Iris theater last evening and the standing room in the rear was well taken up. The show was an exceptionally good one. Mir. Keith sang several new songs, which were finely illustrated and the new films took well. The best of them was "The Spy" It is romantic story of the Civil war, showing a Confederate camp at night and the entry of Union spy within the enemy's lines. He over hears the secret consultation in the gen eral s tent and, cutting his way through the tent, steals the plans and dispatches while the general sleeps.
 Next comes the alarm, the escape of the spy, the chase and capture, and a drumhead courtmartial. Sentenced to death, the spy sends a letter to his wife. She visits her husband for a last farewell. In the guardhouse the devoted wife changes clothes with the spy and he escapes. She is led out to be shot, but the Union soldiers arrive just in time to effect her rescue.
