NO CHANGE IN POLICY.
Dismissal of Yuan Shi Kai Will Not
Affect China.

Affect China.
Pekin, Jan. 1S.-Frince Ching, pres
ident of the board of foreign affairs,
has assured the American and British
ministers that the dismissal of Yuan
Shi Kai means no change in Chinese
policy, but bitterness has arisen be-
tween the British and Japanese repre-
sentatives here on account of Japan's
refusal to join Great Britain in her
representations to Prince Ching. The
British position is that Japan acts in
bad faith, while the Japanese legation
explains that it was agreed to concur
in the opinion of the majority and that
a majority of the ministers favored the
taking of no action in this direction.
William M. Rockhill and Sir John
Jordan, respectively the ministers to
China from the United States and
Great Britain, today expressed them
selves as pleased with the reception
accorded them by Prince Ching. They
say the prince received them in the
spirit in which they came, as repre-
sentatives of two friendly powers. He
listened to Messrs. Rockhill and Jordan
respectfully, who inquired whether the
dismissal of Yuan Shi Kai meant a
change in the policy of China.
Prince Ching authoratively assured
his callers that this was not so. This
assurance, it is understood, puts an end
to the bad impression that followed the
dismissal of Yuan Shi Kai.

Paris, Jan. 1s.-Prince Nicholas, of
Montenegro, has abdicated in favor of
his son, Prince Mirko, according to
dispatch received here this evening
from Vienna. The report lacks con-
