PEACE POW WOW OPENS
Conference Between Opposing Chinese
Factions at Shanghai.

Shanghai. Dec. 1S.-The peace con-
ference between WI Tang Fang, the
foreign secretary in the revolutionary
cabinet and Tang Shao Yati represent
Ing Yuan Shi kai, and five delegates
selected by each side opened in the
town hall here at 2:3O this afternoon.
The delegates were welcomed by the
chairman of the municipal council,
after which they imme ediately pro
ceeded to business. All except the
delegates were excluded from the
building which was guarded by Brit
lsh police The public is not even al
lowed on the same side of the street
One of the notable facts in connec-
ton with the conference is that both
OF the principal personages are ma
tfves of Canton and old friends. On
their first entrance into the room the
greeting of the delegates was most
friendly. Tang Shao Vi said he does
not represent the throne but is per-
sonal representative of Premier Yuan
Shi Kai. This declaration may be re-
garded as significant
Both WI Ting Fang and Tang Shao
VI privately expressed the hope tnaI
some agreement might be reached as
a result of the discussion Amos P.
Wilder. United States consul general
here, formally called on Tang Shao
vi and talked with him on subjects OF
general interest without touching on
strictest precautions have been taken
for the protection of Tang Shao VI. as
an intimation has reached the poifce
that some among the more hot head
ed students have been advocating his
assassination on the ground that he
is supporting the Manchus
There is reason to believe that this
idea il absolutely without foundation
Tang Shao vi IS an advocate of a con-
stitutional monarchy but does not sup
port the retention of the Manchu
dynasty. His svmpathies are with the
Cantonese reformers but he does not
believe in a republic.
