THRONE STILL HOPES
TO REGAIN CONTROL

Pekin. Nov. t0.--Agaln today all
was quiet within the capital and at
Tien Tsln and there was no sign of
the revolutionary upheaval that has
been expected for days
In Pekin those who surround the
throne are engaged In efforts to end
the rebellion and tonight thero seems
some foundation for the governments
hope that II will be able TO regain
the allegiance of General Chang Sac
Tsen. Chang Is commander of the
army division at Lanchau, but now Is
detached on sick leave"
He controls the situation in North
China and the government has been
using every endeavor to gain his un-
qualified support. II desires Chang
to return TO Pekin and confer with
Yuan Shi Kai and Hsi LANG, the
former vceroy of Manchuria.
That Chang possibly may do so is
indicated in advlces received today
from Ianchau A correspondent in
terviewed Chang and General Pen,
the latter temporarily In command of
the Twentieth Division during
Chang's illness"
Both generals, it is said. agreed
that they would protect the emperor.
II he is still reigning, or II he has
adbcated they would side with the
peace party and the constitution.
Regardless of race they stated, If
the Manchus should massacre the
Chinese or vice versa, they would
fight against the offending parties.
An official announcement says that
the court. meaning the dowager en-
press and emperor. will move from
the winter palace to the inner city
November 90, and orders all officials
on duty to attire themselves in WIN
ter garments. An imperial edict again
pathetically begs the Manchus and
the Chinese to sink their differences
and live in brotherly affection.
The Chinese newspapers say Gem.

olutionsts has made a counter prop
osition to Yuan Shi Ka to join the
rebels and assume temporarily the
presidency of the republic pending
the assembling OF parliament
The attitude of the general lega-
tions here Is much commented upon.
The Germans are oonspicuously
prominent and should the Mancnus

tivlties will be of great benefit to
them.

The japanese legation, probably
owing TO former criticisms, Is main
tanning most exemplary attitude.
1t Is not harboring even Ma Tung.

who Is a long standing friend of the
Japanese. A member Of n, Ameri-

owner of 1t distrustng even the for
eign banks here.
The diplomatic body has considered
closing the quarter to ordinary Chin
ese and Manchu refugees, but II Is
now being suggested that refugees In
the streets of the quarter should be
granted to any hunted persons who
are unarmed While 1t is believed In
case OF massacre being attempted
that the legation guards would be
sent through the city to stop 1t, cer-
tain foreigners are of the opinion
that the quarter should be thrown
open and thereby make impossible
the shedding OF innocent blood.
