Shanghai, Dec. 16.-The co-a:r1
week will be perhaps the most notable
In the history of the revolution in
China. Tang Shao Ye, the imperial
plenipotentiary appointed by Premier
yuan Shi Kai, to negotiate terms of
peace with the victorious revolution
aries, is to arrive in Shanghai early
on Sunday. He is accompanied by
suite of assistants and personal SER
wants numbering no fewer than S0l
The party is making the voyage from
HanAow on the chartered river boat
Tung Ting. On their arrival they
Will have Travelled about eight hun+
dred miles along the river Yang Tsd,
which is patrolled by a score of rev
olutionary cruisers and gunboats.
They will have passed under the
guns of dozen well fortified points
and will have touched numerous
towns in the possession and governed
by the revolutionalie les. Tang Shao vi
will not, in fact, have seen an in4
perial soldier or yellow nag sinde
he left Hankow
Included in Tang Shao Yi's party
are two prominent officials, Yen Shi
ST, connected with the board of fl
nances, and Yang Shi Chi former
president of the board of communich
tions, who will act as his counselloIs
at the peace conference. He also has
with him twenty-five representatives
of different provinces of China, who
have been selected by Premier YUAN
Shi Kai to offset the revolutionary
convention now sitting at Marking.
Revolutionists' Representatives
Four representatives of General Iii
Yuen Heng, the revolutionary leader,
are travelling on the same boat with
rang Shao vi and his party.
Wa Hing Fang, former Chinese min
lister at Washington and recently SO
lected as foreign minister of the re-
publican cabinet, who is dire6u..nge, tine
reception of Tang Shao vi, will send
TWO representatives to meet the party
at its landing at the settlement.
According to present arrangements
Tang Shao vi and his two counsellors
Yen Shi 81 and Yang Shi Chi, will
take up their quarters at the Kalee
hotel, while the remainder of his
suite will put up at another hotel.
The municipality of Shanghai has
offered the town hall for the meetings
of The peace conference. This pro-
posal already has been accepted by
Wu Ting Fang, on the condition that
rang Shao vi approves Of his choice.
Peace Seems Assured.
The best observers among the in
Huential Chinese believe there is
good chance of a settlement beng
made through mutual concessions.
The republicans at the present mo-
ment are determined to demand that
the dynasty be brought TO close and
the Manchus as a class or clan can
be merged with the Chinese, together
with their dependencies.
A census taken among the repre-
sentatives of the republicans now as
sembled in convention at Marking
shows that large majority Of them
is in favor of a republicc, but at the
present crisis if DR.. Sun Yat Sen, Gen.
LII Yuen Heng, and other influential
republicans whose names have not
hitherto been mentioned should coun-
sci compromise, the end OF the trou-
BILE may be in sight.
Should the conference at Shanghai
fail to reach an agreement, the repub-
l1can leaders are confident that they
can eventually take Pekin.
1t is believed Tang Shao vi is ad-
vising Premier Yuan Shi Kai to ac-
cept the presidency of the republic,
with DR.. Sun Yat Sen as vice presi-
dent. 1t is Thought the Manchu dy-
nasty will be forced to abdicate and
to accept the terms offered by the re-
'publicans, which will be liberal.
