PEOPLE Of CHINA
WILL DECIDE IN
CONVENTION
On Form OF Government to Be
Adopted
MANCHUS GIVE UP FIGHT
A National Council VIII Be Held to
Decide Whether Monarchy
or Republic
MANCHUS GIVE UP FIGHT

London, Dec. ia Picking dis
patch says that, after comforting
with the imperial Princes and mobiles
Premier Yuan Shi-Kai sent a tele-
gram last night to Tang Shao-Yi, his
representative at the peace confer
ence at Shanghai, accepting In prin-
ciple the plan that a special nation
al convention shall decide whether
China shall be transformed into
republic or remain a monarchy.
The Premier points out that the
convention must be truly representa-
tive and must not attempt to take
a snap judgment; otherwise, he says
its decision would not have the nat
ions confidence.
Several months preparation, he
says, will therefore be necessary and
Targ-Shao-Yi Is instructed to discuss
with WI Ting-Fang and the other
revolutionary leaders plans for the
ele ton
in the meantime, says Yuan Shi-
Kui, the energies OF both sides
81 ould be devoted to restoring peace.
Shanghai, Dec. 26.-Premier Yuan
Shi-Kai's decision to submit to the
Manchus the proposal for special
national convention to decide on the
future form of government of China
caused great satisfaction here.
According to the revolutionary
leaders now in Shanghai, Yuan Shi-
Kai's consent is tantamount to the
admission that he himself fayors a
republic.
1t is understood that Tang Shao-
vi, who is representing Yuan here.
had already informed the revolution
airy leaders at the peace conference
that Yuan personally was in favor OF
republic. Tang now admits that
Yuan is in full agreement with the
revolutionary plan, and is only seek
ing to obtain assurances regarding
the future treatment of the imperial
clan and the Manchu people. and also
TO avoid an outbreak in Peking when
the final announcement is made.

100000 ACRES
TO FORM GREAT
STOCK FARM
American Syndicate Buys Land
In Brazil
AFTER EUROPEAN MARKETS
Company Expects to Send Chilled
Fresh Beef to Europe In Its
own Ships

Washington, Dec 26.-lt became
known here today that combination
of American and Canadian capital
lists has been formed to establish in
Brazil the largest beef-producing pro
iect in the world. The head OF TINS
concern is Murdo Mckenzie of Col
orado, former president OF the Nat
ional Stockmen's association, VINO
has been engaged for term OF years
by the syndicate at salary OF SON.
600 a year.
The syndicate has bought from the
Brazilian government 100000 acres
of land. 1t is for the most part lever
well watered, with lagoons ana
streams and with water level easily
reached by wells of from 10 to Az
feet in depth and with soil that
ranks as one of the most fertile III
the world Cattle can Craze in all
parts of this great tract through the
entire year and be growing every
day. The tropic of Capricorn passes
through the tract and the tempera-
ture is such that calves may be born
at any time in the twelve months
without danger from freezing or from
storms of any kind such as the Wes-
tern ranchman has to fear and pro
tect against.
South American live beef has been
barred from European markets for
ten years because of the prevalence
of the foot and mouth disease. The
only way South American beef men
could get the foreign market was to
ship frozen carcasses. II was not
until American beef men went down
there and introduced the more scien-
tific method of chilling beef that the
industry began to assume anything
like large business. The chilled
beef industry has never been tried in
Brazil and has only recently got un-
der Roadway in Argentina. The only
other country in South America that
has a plant is Venezuela.
All the beef produced for the home
market is what is known as jerked
beef. This does not enter into the
export business with which the Uni.
ted States completes. The chilled
beef is cooled at the abattoir to near
freezing and kept at that tempera
ture throughout the voyage to deliv
cry in England or Germany 1t was
many years before Il was believed
that chilled beef would stand the
long voyage to Europe, but trial pro
we'd its feasibility, and the Industry
has grown so that now Argentina
ships every year more than 100000
tons worth $25,O0O,OOO, and the ex
port is constantly increasing while
our own export is falling off from
year to year.
Like all the other United States
companies engaged in beef produc
ton in South America, the American
Canadian syndicate will not try L
ship beef to this country, but viii
look to the European markets. Tn,
syndicate will in all probability worl
in harmony with all other American
enterprises in South America The,
all find prices better in Europe thar
in the United States. and the profits
which are around 40 per cent, lool
good enough IN that direction.

COLD WAVE DUE TOMORROW
December Thus Far Has Produced
Nothing but Winter Warmth

New York, December 81 The
month now drawing to close has
manifested thus far mean tempera-
ture that is practically as high as
any December yet recorded at the
local Weather Bureau. The mean
temperature of the first twenty-six
DAYS is about 40 degrees, which is a
full Sc degrees above the normal
temperature for December in this
vicinity.
The record high mean temperature
was recorded in the month of Decem-
Der, 1891 with a mean Of AIS de-
grees. Following this comes the
same month in the year 1889 with a
mean of Ala and in 1881 with 4O.l.
But unless all signs fail and the wea-
Their bureau is utterly mistaken the
closing days of the year will be very
cold
The mercury in Alaska yesterday
stood at 50 degrees below zero In
Northwestern Canada 1t was % be-
low Zero weather prevailed all over
the Dakotas, down through Nebras-
ka, Kansas, and even to the north
ern parts of New Mexico and AriZ-
ona. Through the Mississippi valley
there is a wide area of storm and dis
turbed atmospheric conditions.
Under these circumstances the
weather bureau predicted last night
that today wifi probably be as warm
as the days that have just passed.
But, they add ominously. by Thurs
day night it will be cold, very cold
perhaps. and that when the figures
come to be averaged up December,
1911, will not stand at the top OF the
warm December OF history.

was big, tbs true, but the game was

played right forward for the Vernon

itors got two points to their credit
and "Burnsey" got big applause. For
the first time in two years. Smith
