Restoration Impossible.

The last minister who saw Yuan Shi
kai at the foreign board on Dec. 2S. states
that he was at that time suffering from
no malady, but the reason given for his
dismissal yesterday was that he is af-
f1icted with rheumatism. The foreign min
listers agree that Yuan Shi Kafs restora-
ton is impossible and that the action of
the government in eliminating him cannot
be recalled
LANG Tun Yen's appointment this after
noon only serves to increase the feeling OF
psssimism at the legation, as Yuan Shi
kai exercised an authority with the vice
roys and governors which was his alone
and which the foreign board. no matter
what its composition, cannot now retain.
Yuan Shi kai must leave Pekin within
four or five days. CONSERVATION among
the Chinese surpasses that felt by the for
eign residents. Many of the supporters
of the former viceroy are psnic-stricizen.
1t is probable that among the first changes
both Yang Shi Slang, the viceroy Of Chi
