REPUBLIC DON'T
 SUIT PREMIER
YUAN sHi ABSOLUTELY REFUSES TO ACCEPT REPUBLICAN FORM
 OF GOVERNMENT
Opposition Says Ahdication of Emper. or is the Only Price of ch-
 nese Peace.

Picking, Dec. 2l-Premier Yuan S4hi Kai today gave his answer to those who are aiming to transform China into a republic. In an official statement he declared without qual- ification that he refuesd to accept a republic
 At the Shanghai peace conference yesterday, Wu Ting Fang, foreign minister in the revolutionary provis- tonal cabineE spoke stsongly in favor of republic assd later Tang sIhao Ii said he was convinced that al'dicasieH Of tie emperor and the establishment of republic was the only thing that would satisfy the neople. At the same time he ex- pressed doubt whether it would be possible to persuade Yuan shi Kai to abandon his nIan for a limited mon- arehy
 1t Is believed here that Yua.a Sni kai means what he says and will uphold the monarchy. A new situation has arisen. Great Britain, Which has been supporting the premie'rs mon- archal program for several weeks. is now strengthened by Japan and is en- deavoring to obtain the support of the United States and other countries Great Britain believes the separation of the disintegration of China proper would result from the establishment of republic, whereas the republicans have already obtained in a material way everything they desired Only the name of monarchy is left
 It IS stated the American group if not the American state department. already supports the British idea and are ready with two. if not three of the others of the -four national group" of financiers. to lend Yuan Shi Kars government money
 
 Negotiations to this end have been proceeding for some days.
 It was on Great Britain's initiative that the six powers urged the Shang- hai peace conference to reach an agreement. Now Great Britain is en- deayorine to persuade the rebels to come to terms.
 The extension of the armsiice for ten days to which the reyolutionists have agreed, has given some hope. but unless the revolutionists accept Premiser Yuan's offer the only alter native is confirmation of the conflict with possible division Of the coun. try the dependences rallying around the northern empire.
 The premier mas sent 5000 troops Of the twentieth diyisic.n to Chin Wang Tao. on the coast of Chi Lii, with the object of preventing repub ncan troops from assembling in the north. iPrechutdons are pSso being taken below Tien Tsin.

Chicago, Dec. 21 1.-"There is and has been for years a connection be- tween the Chicago police department and the criminal classes of the city. g says a preliminary report to Mayor Carter H. Harrison, made tonight by the city civil service commission which has conducted an exhaustive examination Of the policedepartme.1t
 The report followed within a few hours the dismissal of John Revere. the second police inspector to lose his position as a result of the investl- gation.
 Another official LleutenaHt John Hanley was exonerated and Captain Bernard Baer was sent to the mayor for action on charges Of inefficiency and neglect Of duty. This brings the number of disciplined officials to more than dozen.
 In the commission-s preliminary re. port to the mayor drastic changes in the administration and organization of the department are commended.
 Among the assertions are these:
 That a bi partisan political com- bine or ring exists. by and through which the connection between the po- lice and criminal classes is fostered and maintained.
 That u such connection may be charged a great part of the inefficien. cy, disorganizaticn and lack of dis cipline existing in tue department
 That the police depaarsmens as now numerically constituted. can enforce any reascnabie regulation in regaro 10 gambling, crime and vice, if hoL. estly and efficiently administered.
 The ineffiency arises through have all report directly to the chiefs organization 7"
 Not in sense of finality, but as a judgment formed of the results So far obtained by the inquisitors, the following, among other -r-ngs. are suggested reforms for the depart ment:
 "Abolish the position of police in- spector.
 Assign captains to important pre- cincts and lieutenants to others and have all reports directly to the chiefs office to which they would be directly responsible
 Discontinue absolutely the assign ment to special duty. or other than city duty in the strictest sense so that every available patrolman may he put upon a beat.
 "Revlse and enlarge the rules gov erning vice.
 Card index system of keeping in. formation concerning %ery person of bad character in the precinct"
 Further recommendation were promised involving the detective and other bureaus.
