Revoluti0naries Incensed

London, December 26.---A special dis patch from Shanghai says the revolu- tionaries are incensed at the imperial- sts for the capture of Tai Yuan Flu at Shan Si province and have protested to Tang Shao Vi, representative of Yuan Shi Kai at the peace conference, against continued breaches of the arm istice. They have demanded an in- demnity, the withdrawal of the troops and punishment of the officers upon whom the responsibility rests.
 The revolutionary leaders insist that unless Yuan Shi kai replies at once to the demands of the conference they will elect pr. Sun Yat Sen president.
 Tang Shao Nj explained that the im- perialsts had occupied Tai Yuan Flu only after the revolutionists had de- serted the town. He forwarded the de- mands to Picking.

Movement uited

Dr. Sun said the entire movement was united and there would be no serious differences. It is quite evident that the revolutionaries are preparing for the constructive work of government, and are not counting on Yuan Shi I<ai. They are even disfegarding Picking, which they confidently assert they can take at their leisure.
 It has been definitely decided that Ranking shall be the future capital.
 In the minds of the revolutionists, the movement has been entirely successful. One of the highest authorities said to- day:
 Fourteen provinces have absolute ly declared for a republic. We control l2 divisions of the army; two more are coming. We hold the entire navy. Two provinces remain imperial and two are neutral. There is no government in Picking. Yuan Shi Kai. the premier, Is it's only representative, except the infant Emperor.
 The sooner the powers recognize the real situation, instead of clinging to harmful and intangible sentiment. the sooner will order be secured in China. Hesitation to recognize the republican cause will certainly prolong the stagna- ton of trade and will be responsible for much bloodshed should fighting begin again."

PAPERS IN CASE
BREAK RECURD
Governors Office Flooded With Par
don Letters and Petitions for
Stripping.

Atlanta. March 24.-Neyer before
in the history of Georgia, say state
house officials, have so many papers
been sent to the governor concern
ing one case as have been received
up to date in the case of Thomas
Edgar Stripping. WHO is seeking a
pardon after having escaped from
the Harris county Jail when under
life sentence for the murder of
Will Cornett.
Already one large pigeonhole is al
most full and nearly every day more
papers arrive. So far all the papers
are for q pardon, none having been
received which are against elem
eacy. although it has been claimed
that the relatives of Cornett would
oppose any move for clemency
\ petition for pardon was received
Thursday from Mitchell county. and
it was signed y 264 citizens. In
the petition it was stated: I'VE do
not believe that any man who has
lived the christian life OF Stripping
CT who has been such a conservator
Of the peace. could have committed
murder without Justification
There appears to be some trouble
in locating the original papers in tie
Stripping case. When he escaped
from iail an anpeal to the supreme
court was pending. and it is possible
that the papers may have been sent
there. After STRIPPING escaped, the
papers may have been sent back to
governor nor the pardon board, it
is said, feel like taking up the case
until the original papers have been
examined. The hunt for the missing
documents is still going on.

MRS. SPENCER TO
:. BE- REAPPOINTED
r'r-Ns
GOVERNOR OSBORN ANNOUNCES
HIS INTENTIONS REGARDING
THE STATE LI8RAR-
IAN.

Lansing. Mich. oct. 3.-Mrs Mary
G. Spencer. who has been state ibrar-
ian for II years. will bee re-appointed
according to an announcement made
by Governor Osborn today. It was
expected that Mrs. Spencer would be
reappointed during the last session
of the legislature, but the governor
took no action at dhat time.
Great interest was taken all over
the state in the reappointment of Mrs
Spencer and when the governor II the
last session of the legislature did not
do the expected, various reasons. an
of them erroneous, were vouchsafed.
With the announcement today that she
will be re-appointed. the governor sets
all the subject at rest.
Mrs. Spencer was appointed during
Governor Rich's administration In
1898. following the refusal Of Mrs. Mar
garet Custer Calhoun to accept the re-
appointment Mrs. Spencer was assist
ant librarian from 1885 To 1898. the
date OF her first appointment as H.
brarian.
Her competency when assistant H.
brarian retained ner through a Demo-
cratic administration, and the efforts
OF Mrs. Calhoun at that time perhaps
was the first step toward lifting the
library out Of politics. Since that time
the state library has grown marvel
cusly, and most of the thousands of
valumes on its shelves have gone
through the hands of Mrs Spencer
and have been catalogued by her. Thus
she has gained an intimate knowledge
of the details OF the library and its

lively by her friends cannot be dupli-

or not. He says so polntedly when the
matter is put fatty before him.
Are you, or are YOU not going To call
an extra session." he was asked.
Il will say very frankly | do not
know" was the response. "One thing
and so far as can see now, one thing
only, would induce me to summon the
legislature together again. That is the
report Of the expert tax commission.
If that report is as sensational and as
important as | believe IL is going to
be and as it should be. | believe Il will
warrant the calling of an extra ses-
sion. | believe this is perhaps the
most important piece of legislation of
my administration. We certainly want
ton; We certainly want the corpora
tions to pay their just share of the
taxes, but no more. We want a sep
aration of the state and local taxes.
This move will be altogether revo-
lutionary and is, of course. of vast inn
portance. If the report comes up To
my expectations, II seems to me the
quicker we get action on IL the bet
ter. Many of my friends. however, do
not believe that this would warrant the
extra session. ! am rather inclined to
think 1t would. But | have not made
up my mind as yet and cannot until
that | can see that would move me
TO assemble the legislature, but at
present | can positively say ! do not
know whether II will be called or not"
