Rebels DistruStfuI
 Of Premier Yuan
(speciaI from United Press.)

|
 Tokio, Dec. 28-Premier Yuan Shf Kai is considering the advisability of resigning as soon as he makes the best terms possible with the reyolu- tionists, according to a despatch, to- day, from Pekin. A number of Man chu Princes have told the premier, the de=patch says, that they are ready to abdicate, believing it is useless to hold out for the retention of the present dynasty. Yuan is said to be dissatisfied with the conduct of his representative in the peace confer ence, Tang Shao Wi. He believes that Tang has turned traitor to the imperialists and is fishing" for the presidency of the propo ed republic.
 It is believed here the revolution ists are too impatient to await the outcome of a convention which 1t would require many weeks to as- semble. In addition, the rebels fear Yuan is only playing for time in the hope that he may be able to float big loan which would enable him to bolster up the imperial flag.

FALL STRAWBERRIES.
Success With the New Plants of West
ern New York Growers.

Fruit growers in western New York
are demonstrating that it is possible to
grow strawberries until November. In
fact, luscious berries are now being
marketed. One of the farmers who
has achieved fine result says his ber-
ries are known as the Francis and
America, seedlings of the Pan-Ameri-
can strawberry. They were originated
in Iowa.
After testing them last year this
grower bought 500 plants in the spring
for 800. These varieties differ from
other Strawberries only in that they
blossom continuously from June until
November. In order to get a large
crop at any one time it is necessary to
pinch or cut off the blossoms up to
within three weeks of the time the fruit
is desired. On some of his plants this
man pinched the blossoms until July /.
These plants began bearing berries
July 30. On his main crop of plants
the blossoms were cut off until August
l. An immense crop of ripe fruit,
green, berries and blossoms now covers
the plants, having developed since Au.

and fruit is promised until freezing
