Apparently Fighting Has Ceased at Least Temper
 arily in China
PREMIER WILL NOT
 ACCEPT A REPUBLIC
Secretary Knox, Together With Hani- hara of the Japanese Embassy, Discuss Chinese Affairs.
 Apprehension Felt

Picking, December 2S.--Apparently the fighting has ceased, at least temporarily, in China No reports have been received recently of activities between the im- perialists and the revolutonists, but minor engagements have occurred with robber bands, which continue to in- crease. Officials here expect that the armistloe will be renewed after Decem- Der -31..
 It is believed in Picking that Tang Shao Vi, Premier Yuan's representative, has not communicated the premier's reply to the republican leaders at Shanghai, be- cause 1t is not satisfactory. Yaun Shi Kai has declared that under no circum- stances would he accept a republic.
 That Yaun also will refuse to accept the proffered presidency Of the proposed republic is considered certain, even by those who believe he is self seeker. They assert that if a republic is forced upon him, Yuan Shi Kai will relnquish the premiership, and recognizing the diffi- culties of the first presidents position, will await the country's call to save it from disaster. It is reliably stated that the premier is able to continue the gov ernment for several weeks, perhaps months, yet. without a foreign loan.
 It is thought the Japanese government fears the development of socialism in Japan should successful republic be es- abolished in China. Hence the Japanese legation is supporting the British plan in advocacy of a monarchy. The British fear possible disorders in Mongolia, Thibet and Turkestan, with ambitious Russian of ficers within and along the borders en- deavoring to implicate their government in territorial designs, although the Rus sian and British governments are CO., operating apparently to restore order.

Knox Discusses Situation


 Washington, December 23.-secretary Knox conferred today about Chinese af- fairs with Masanao Hanihara, charge of the Japanese embassy, pending the ar rival of the newly appointed ambassador. Neither would disclose the nature of the discussion. but 1t is understood the con cusion was reached that there was as yet no reason to abandon hope that the Chinese peace commissioners in Shanghai would be able to reach a basis of agree ment
 The nations interested in a speedy restoration of peace are believed to be earnestly considering the advisability to supplementing the identical note delivered at the beginning tf the peace conference to set out the earl, st hope of these na- tions that success lld attend the con- ference. The supplA 'ntary note, if it should be agreed upon, probably would make it appear in no uncertain terms that the powers do not propose to look with equanimity upon a resumption of hostil- ities. A factor that is deterring the ele- ment in favor of making such strong representations at this moment Is fear that the effect might be to arouse a feel ing of resentment among the republican advocates Tn emma that not only would endanger the success of the attempt to restore peace but actually would ieopar- rlze the safety of foreigners in China
 In regard to the rumors of interven- ton of England and Japan or one of these countries, it Is intimated at tho state department that even if they should appear to be taking the initiative in an offer of mediation, they actually would be acting in favor of the six p<wers and with their full. approval In other words, nothing has yet developed to impair the binding force of the understanding into which these six powers entered several weeks ago, 10 act as a unit in dealing with the Chinese situation. Although the lack of money is becoming <eenly mani fest in Picking, this understanding among the powers so far has enabled them to resist the most tempting offerings of high interest and extraordinary concessions for loans. An advance of money by any one power even to defray the legitimate out standing indebtedness of China on account of the foreign objections might easily be perverted by the Chinese into display of favoritism toward. the imperialist gov ernment that would be deeply resented by the radicals. Moreover. the very lack of funds on both sides, 1t Is thought, may tend to hasten the peace negotiations and, therefore, it seems probable that the six powers will adhere to their deter imitation to refuse further. loans, even though considerable suffering is involved.

Differences of Opinion


 Picking, December 23.-Advance of the formal sittings of the peace conference so that the sole business of the delegates of the imperial government and of the revolutionary party will be that of sane tioning the. decision already arrived at. is progressing Government officials here insist that the throne will be retained permanently, but there is difference of opinion as to what form the monarchy will take in the future.
 Yuan Shi Kai has been endeavoring to propagate the view that foreign inter- ference will be detrimental to both par ties hoping evidently that his action will bear weight during the negotiations at Shanghai
 There seems t6 be little doubt that the conference Tt Shanghai between the rep resentatives of the imperial government and the revolutionary party will prove failure.
 Tie belief prevails that the revolutions aries are preparng to advance to the north by the way of Pu Row. which is in their possession.
 Apprehension Felt
 Nanking, China, December 2S.--The pres ent temper of the revolutionares in this vicinity gives ground for the fear that inc arn1istiee now existing between the two forces may he broken, and that d serious encounter may occur in this ter ritory or north Of Pu Row.
 Within the last two weeks Chang Hsun, who was formerly in command of the .imperiai government troops at NankiAg, and wi.o was incorrectly reported to have been killed, has received heavy re- inforcements, both of men and guns
