LEADERS AT ODDS.
Gen Lii Fav0rs Division of Country But Other Revolutionists Want
 Republic for United China.

Pekin, Nov. 13-Yuan Shi Kaf ar rived here, today, and is in conference with the emperor's chief advisers What advice he is giving is not yet known. It is the general impression that he is urging the desirability of the rulers abdfcation in consideration of assurances of personal safety for himself and court and a pension from the republican government.
 Discovery that the government haf been 1ndustriously recruiting formid. able force. in the past few days, pointi plainly to a belief on the Manchus' part that there is still fair chance for retention of the northern pro. vinces and to a determina ton to stake everything on 8 desperate attempt to do something.
 Indications that the dynasty means to fight for northern China are re- garded in diplomatic circles as augur- ing i'll for peace for a long time to come. General Li Yuan Hung, the revOlutionist commander, is said to favor division of the country, with the Yangtse Kiang marking the front fer between the southern republic and northern monarchy. His followers, however, are almost a unit against him and 1t is practically certain that Li will have to yield or give way to some other leader who represents the popular demand for a united China under a republican government
 Manchu resistance in the north, therefore, probably will mean a pro- longed civil war

The Presbyterian church soccer team of Bridgeport and the Athletics of Ansonia played tie game Satur- day afternoon on Athletic field, the score being to 2. The contest was witnessed by a big crowd of specta- tors The Athletics were somewhat strengthened from the week before, inasmuch as several new men ap- peared. Among these were Harrison, Hills, Parker and Crompton. The team was nevertheless handicapped, as at the last minute it was found that Tomlinson, Nolan and Sheasby could not play, owing to injuries.

William Miller for Bridgeport scored first in the second half, and it was again left for Simcox to score for his teammates, which he did after several unsuccessful trys for the goal English at goal for the Athletics made several brilliant stops, one i2 particular during the last half, which practically saved the Athletics from defeat.

Shanghai, Nov. 1aThe rebels took formal possession of Foo Chow today, without further resistance from the 1mperialists.
 A reward of $2o0,ooo was offered by the rebels, following a military riot at Foo Chow, for the head of General Chang Hsuan, the imperialist com mander at Nankin, who was respon- sfble for the massacre of the Chinese following the failure of the revolution 1s reported that the rebel force be- tore Nankin at last has received the long delayed supplies of ammunition and renewed it's attack and that the city now Is burning.
 In answer to the invitations sent Shanghai of delegates from the IA provinces now in rebellion against the Manchus to establish provisional re- publican national assembly, messages are coming in from all over the south that the delegates may be expected here as rapidly as the disturbed con- dition of the country will permit.
 Much uneasiness is felt in high revo- 1utionary circles over news that Rus oia is sending Cossacks to Pekin in anticipation of disintegration of China. The revolutionists have been afraid from the first of a foreign att tempt to take advantage of the con- xQ34OA Fl tAAouSuOul lAC cIIl- pire for a series of territorial grabs and, despite the denials from Wash hneton, a good deal of credence is given to- reports that the United States is leading a movement for information alixings the Yangtse valley.

Taft and Teddy to Line up For New
 York Delegation
(Special from United Press.

Albany, Nov. 13-Former Presi- dent Roosevelt, by indirection, prob ably will be called upon to name the next Speaker for the New York Gen eral Assembly.
 Upstate Republican leaders de clared, today, that President Tai would be. called upon to name the speaker The Chief Executive de- sires solid New York delegation te the next Republican convention anc State Chairman William Barnes, IT,, of the "Old Guard,'' is willing to de- liver it to him, it is said.
 At the same time, Republican lead CTS say, Colonel Roosevelt's support is necessary to the success of. Taft's aspirations, and they predict that, if Colonel Roosevelt will deliver Taft delegation to the national convention, Taft will refuse to name a Barnes man as Speaker, but will, instead, see to it that Roosevelt man is named.
 Republican upstate leaders believe firmly that Taft will line up with Roosevelt on the Speakership. All though Roosevelt has declared he is not waging war on Barnes, the lead CTS point to his past performances as indicating his future acts.
 Then, too, they point out, Presi dent Taft can hardly align himself with an "Old Guard" leader like Barnes, in New York, and daily with the progressive leaders in the west.

 Springfield, Mass, Nov. 1s-The trial of Bertram G. Spencer, alleged murderer of Miss Martha B. Black stone, who was slain the night of March 31, 1910, began here, today. be- fore Judge John c. Crosby. A venire of 233 men answered their names when court opened at 9:30 this morn- ing, and today's proceedings were de- voted to impanelling the jury. In view of the confession said by the police to have been made by Spen- cer, it is believed that the defense
 The arrest of Bertram G. Spencer, was the continuation of a two year reign of terror by lone bandit who entered houses after dark and held up the occupants at the point of a revolver The night of March 31, 1910, Miss Blackstone was visiting the Dow family on Round Hill. The women were seated in the living room when a masked man with revolver con- fronted them Tn the excitement which followed, the women screamed and the masked man commanded them to be quiet. His commands were not obeyed and several revolver shots were fired The man escaped, leaving Miss Blackstone mortally wounded and Miss Harriett Dow lying on the floor with wound in her head. The latter subsequently, recovered.
 A citizens committee raised a big fund for the capture of the criminal and the governor added to the reward. Private detectives finally arrested Spencer. A 1ocket bearing the ini- tials "B. G. s." had been found sev- eral weeks before the murder in the yard of house from which the masked, burglar" had been surprised climbing in a window. Enlargements of the photograph proved they were likenesses of Spencer's sister and an- other relative. Spencer was arrested at his counter in wholesale house. A search of his home where he lived with his wife and baby revealed thou sands of dollars worth of jewelry, much of which has been identified by residents of Springfield.
 After Spencer's arrest. he was de- termined to be mentally affected and was sent to the state asylum at Bridgewater for observation. After a confinement of six months he was brought back for trial.

Eight Horses Are Burned to Death
 in Stamford Fire
Especial from United Press.

-
 Stamford. Nov. 13-For the second time within a week, the local fire de- partment responded to a two alarm fire, last midnight. The barn of Fletcher williams, mail carrier, in the rear of 61 Elm street, was com pletely destroyed and another, owned by Ike Spelkie, merchant, was gut ted badly. Flight horses owned by Williams were burned to death. Mir. Williams had recently stored eight tons of hay, which was consumed along with a wagon and eight sets of harnesses. Neighbors managed to save six horses owned by Spelke, who estimates his loss at $400, covered by insurance. The loss on the Williams property is estimated at $3,500, par tially covered by insurance.
 The origin of the fire is a mystery, as were several other fires in this neighborhood recently. Owing to the paving of Elm street in that section, the street had been closed, which ne- neccitated the long run of the fire de- partment in a roundabout route The building was a mass of flames when the firemen arrived, and it was feared that the high northwest gale which was Glowing, would spread the flames to adjoining wooden structures.
 Four well directed streams eliminat- ed all this danger, however, and the fire was confined to the two barns
 Williams mourns, especially, the loss of two ponies used on his rural mail route, so trained that they knew all the stops.
