Peking, China. Nov. 1.-The ap-
pointment of Yuan Shi Kai today a.
premier Of China will be followed by
cessation of hostilities Of Imperial
lists and the opening Of negotiations
with Gen. Ii Yuen Heng. leader OF
revolutionists at Hankow.
An imperial edict providing for i'm
portant administrative changes also
accepts the designations Of the min.
listers, but until Yuan Shi Kai returns
Prince Shing will continue to perform
the duties Of premier and the present
cabinet will remain in office.
All the ministers attended a secret
session of the national assembly today
which it Is understood practically
agreed to the demands Of the disaf-
fected Manchu troops. A member Of
the war board was appointed to con-
fer with the troops and express the
assembly's views. The assembly also.
discussed the recent loan for which
arrangements had been made by a
Belgian and French syndicate. The
ministers explained that the loan was
needed for the purpose Of carrying on
field operations.
1t was finally decided to refer the
matter by telegraph to Yuan Shf
Kai.
The panic among the people Of
Peking which ensued after the issu-
ance Of the first imperial edict has
been largely dispelled. Reports re-
ceived here that Yum Nan XII and
Flu King have gone over to the revo.
lutionists
Soldiers in north China are avow-
edly awaiting the action Of Yuan Shi
Kai.
The government troops and the
Yam Shi rebels are encamped not
far apart. Apparently they do not
intend to fight for the present at
least

REBELS FIGHT L0ylLsJS.
BATTLES IN INTERIOR OF CHINA
CONTINUE.
Communication With Hankow Not
RestOred-Americans Prepare for
Trouble in Peking.

Peking. Oct. 31.-Fighting between
the rebel forces and the imperialists
continues. 1t is believed that the
rebels are making a determined re-
sistance. Late advices received here
Indicate that Hankow, city was not
retaken by the imperialists, although
Gen Yin Tchang captured the rail-
way station Immediately to the north.
Contrary to promises. however, the
railway service has not yet been re-
sumed. nor has telegraphic commu-
nication been re-established. The
fact that the Associated Press cor
respondent with Yin Tchang has sent
no word from the field in two days
may indicate that the censor will not
permit him to report unfavorable
news.
In the meantime there are serious
dangers along the railway line be-
tween the war minister's position and
Peking. Disaffection among the
troops and the people has prevented
communication between the various
sections OF the loyal army.
Yuan Shi Kai started for the front
yesterday, and now is at Sin Yuan
Chau. The policy which ne will
adopt is eagerly awaited. Negotiations
looking to a settlement between Yuan
Shi ISai and the revolutionary leaders
have been under way.
The Americans will hold a meeting
at the legation tomorrow to decide
upon definite measures for theis.
own protection. Foreign troops are
guarding the mission houses in
Peking. 1t is believed that serious
trouble in the capital will be averted.
but the Americans, like other foreign
ers, are preparing for emergencies
Detachments Of British. French and
other guards have already been dis
tributed to their respective missions,
which lie outside the legation quar-
ter.
Many Americans are among the
foreigners who are seeking refuge
here from the interior. There is only
one American family at Tai Yuan Flu.
which Is in the hands Of the revolu-
tionaries. but there are many through
out the province Of Shan 81.
The native press has received the
reform edicts favorably. The reform
ers In Peking are divided into two
parties. the extremes, mainly SOUTH
erners. who insist upon the expulsion
OF the Manchus, and the moderates,
who are numerous throughout the
empire. The latter are Indifferent as
to whether the dynasty is Manchu or
Chinese, but they want great admins
trative changes and believe that dras-
tic measures are necessary to give the
reforms fair start
The vital question is whether the
two wings will be able to unite.
