Peace Conference Looks Like
a Failure
TROOPS ADVANCE IN NORTH

KING IT IS FEARED THAT THE
ATTEMPT TO BRING ABOUT
PEACE At THIS TIME is DOOM
ED TO FAIL.

Picking, Dec. 23.-In government cir
cles here there seems TO be little doubt
that the conference at Shanghai be-
tween representatives of the imperial
government and the revolutionary par
ty will prove a failure.
The belief prevails that the revo-
Iutionists are preparing to advance
to the north by way Of Pukow. which
is in their possession.
Peace Conference Delayed.
Shanghai, Dec. 2S.--The peace con-
ference between delegates OF the inn
perial government and the revolution
aries will not resume sessions for sew
eral days. Tang Shao vi, who came
TO the conference las representative
of Premier Yuan Shi Kai, has not yet
received the latter's final answer.
Big Battle Feared.
Marking, Dec. 2s--The present
temper of the revolutionary troops OF
this vicinity gives ground to fear that
the armistice existing between the two
forces may be broken and a serious
encounter occur in the territory north
of Pukow. Within the last two weeks
Chang Hsun. commanding the imperi-
al troops, has received heavy rein
forcements Of men and guns. He has
advanced south as far as Suchowar
and is retaking many towns.
Meanwhile the revolutionary force;
have advanced northward The rebels
hold the southern section OF the Tier
Tsin- Pukow railway, Chang Hsun's
troops command the entire northern
portion. Changs force Is about
10 900, the rebels number 10000 Less
than 100 miles separates opposing
forces.
