The Hooded Death.

The causeway down which the
horsemen of forgotten kings of Khan
dawar had clattered forth to war, in
its age-old desuetude had come to de-
cay. Between its great paving blocks
grass sprouted, and here and there
creepers and even trees had taken
root and in the slow ipmutable proc
ess of their growth had displaced con-
siderable masses of stone; so that
there were pitfalls to be avoided.

Pekin, Nov. 16.-Yuan Shi Kai
China's strong man, today accepted
the premiership offered him in th'
name of the baby emperor.
This fact however, will not pre-
vent the meeting of the representa-
tive men called to gather here to az
range terms for ending the rebellion
Yuan is satisfied that this gather
ing will support him mall the re
forms he contemplates. In the even
Yuan should later decide to break
with the Manchu dynasty and force
his own election as president Of 6
new republic it is believed he will
do so when the convention is on al
Pekin, and that in whatever he de-
cides to do he will be backed by
this gathering which is made up OF
his followers from all sections Of the
empire.
It is expected that definite action
will be taken within week which
will decide whether China is to re-
main monarchy or to become a re-
public in fact.
Few believe Yuan will declare for
a republican form Of government,
though there is little doubt that he
shorn Of its powers, and that mon
archy of very limited authority be
maintained.
This belief is relied upon state
ment given out by Yuan's secretary
with Yuan's permission. In this it
is declared that Yuan is convinced
that very limited monarchy is bet
ter for the Chinese people than re-
public, but that he will abide by the
decision of the delegates. Should
Yuan be playing double game he
can easily force these delegates to
urge him to become president and
he is pledged to abide by their de-
cision.'
Yuan further is quoted by his Sec
retary as declaring his belief that the
Congress he has summoned to meet
here will reach an effective under
standing with the disaffected prov
inces. This is taken in some quar-
ters to mean that representatives of
the rebel army will be among it's
numbers, and that whatever plan Is
decided upon will be agreeable to
the rebel leaders.
