PEACE IN SIGHT IN CHINA
Plenlpotentiaries of Both Parties TO
Meet in Shanghai.
DEMAND FOR NEW DYNASTY

De Retained, with Regent Elected
Elected by PcopIe-COngrcs
10 Control Finances,

SHANGHAI. China, Dec 1s.-Tbe cor,.
Ing week will be perhaps the most notable
In tho history Of the revolution in China.
Iang-Shao-Ii, the imperial plenipoten-
tiary, appointed by Premier Yuen-Shi-
Hsi to negotiate terms OF peace with
the victorious revolutionaries. is to arrive
IN Shanghai on Sunday.
On their arrival here they will have
travelled about 500 miles along the river
Nang-Tsc, which is patroled by a score
Of revolutionary cruisers and gunboats.
Tang-Shao-Yi will not in fact have seen
an imperial soldier or yellow flag since
he left Hankow.
Included in Tang Shao-Yrs party are
two leading officials, Yen Shi 81, con-
nected with the board Of finances. and
Yang She Chi. former president OF the
board of communications, who will act
as his couusellors.
He also has with him twenty-five repre-
sentatives Of different provinces Of
China. who have been selected by Pre-.
mier Yuan-Shi-Kai to offset the revolu-
tionary convention, now sitting at Nan
king.
Four representatives OF General Il
Yuen Hen, the revolutionary leader. are
travelling on the same boat with Tang
Shao- II and his party
WI Ting-fang, former Chinese minister
at Washington and recently selected as
foreign minister of the republic cabinet,
who is directing the reception of Tang
Shao-Yi, will send two representatives to
meet the party at its landing at the
settlement.
The municipality OF Shanghai has Of
fered the town hall for the meetings of
the peace conference. This proposal al
ready has been accepted by Wu-Tlng-
fang on the condition Tang Shao-Yi ap-
proves.
The best observers among the influ-
entail Chinese believe there is a good
chance of a settlement being made
through mutual concessions.
Demand New Dynasty.
The republicans at present are de-
termined TO demand that the dynasty be
brought to a close and that the Manchus
as a class or clan be merged with the
Chinese, together with their Dependent
ces.
On this point a compromise eventually
may be reached, namely that the en-
peror be retained as a Chinaman at the
head Of a new dynasty. 1t may be that
he will be become constitutional mon
arch, with regent to be elected by the
people, but on an extremely limited
franchise.
The national congress, if the proposition
is accepted, will have it's members elected
by zach province and Will control the
imparlal finances as well as the army
and navy. Each province. however, will
be autonomous in regard to it's own
affairs and will elect its own governor,
There is reason to believe that il the
revoutionaries concedc the question of a
republic an-Shi-Kai will accept their
terms. The chief difficulty appears to be
with the hotheads, students and extrem-
lists. who are demanding a republic.

GARFIELD, PINCH0T AND
CLAPP WILL TOUR OHIO

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. l6.-To impress on
Ohio republicans that Theodore Roose-
welt will not be candidate for the presi-
dental election Of 1912, John d. Fackler,
secretary of the Ohio Progressive league,
today completed arrangements for a
speech-making tour of the state by United
States Senator Moses Il. Clapp of Mime
sofa, clifford Pinchot, former United
States forester; James II, Garfield OF
Cleveland and Louis d. Brandeis of

Because Pinchot and Garfield are cred
tied with having the entire confidence of
Colonel Roosevelt, progressive leaders
hope their words will eventually allay
any Roosevelt sentiment among Ohio
progressives and will pave the way for
the smooth progress of the La Toilette
campaign.
