CHINESE WAN 7 To

Conferees Anxiously Awaiting Reply
From Important
Events Expected.
REPUBLICANS ARE REJOICING

President ofthc United states OF China.

| Shanghai. Dec 2O.-Tang Shac
WI, representative Of Yuan Shi Ka
in the peace conference. this after.
noon announced that he was ready to
accept republic provided that was
agreeable to the premier. A message
was sent al once 10 Pekin and the
conferees are brcathlessiy awaiting
an answer.
The republicans are overioyed
with the prospect Of having their
fondest hopes realized. If Yuan
agrees to a republic he will undoubt-
edly be selected first president of the
new United States OF China.
The peace conferees decided apon
an extension OF the armistice from
December "a to December 81.
Tang Shao Wi was only won over
to the Republican idea after hours OF
argument by Or. Wu Ting Fang. the
rebels representative. who declared
that there could be no settlement on
any other basis.
Tang Shao Wi has been greatly al
armed by the prospect OF interven-
ton by the Powers. and is said 10
have urged Yuan Shi Kai TO agree 10
the rera!utionistS demands rather
than 10 run the risk Of interference
from the Powers.
Wa Ting Fang this afternoon eX-
pressed confidence thar Yuan would
yield. This feeling is not shared by
all the re ,oiutionistS.
The presence of consuls of all the
foreign powers at today's peace meet
ing undoubtedly had an effect on the
imperial representatives in the dccis-
ion to yield. provided Yuan Shi kai
would give his consent.
The foreign cCLsils took no active
part in the meeting after delivering
the formal notification that China

VI SIS AG Il on
WOOL AND TARIFF.

I Washington, Dec. 20.-PresIdent
Taft today submitted to Congress 4
special message urging Immediate re-
vision downward Of schedule X, the
wool tariff. With his message be sub
mittcd the report OF the tariff board on
! the wool industry-thc first iureStlga-
tion completed by that corps OF tariff
experts.
/ Message shows TAFT standing by the
findings OF that body, rs he said
he .would when he vetoed the
wool bill last summer, The tariff
board's $ report calls many OF the duties
on woolsA and grades Of cloth prohibit
:;ve. Tie. prcsi1tr..fstrrg t6at these
duties be reduced to the point OF COM
pensa,ion for the differences in the cost
of production as determined by the
/ boards experts.
/ The Board recommends the subStltu-
ton OF specific duties for the present
nd vaorem plan and Taft seconds the
motion. The Board, however, reports
that the cost OF production is much
higher here than III other countries,
not only the cost OF manufacture. but
the cost of raising sheep. And in
urging Congress to be guided By this
fact in drawing a new wool bIll, the
President credits the protectlv" tariff
with having asccrtaiued the Industry
in prosperity iu face OF such conditions.
The report Of the Board points out that
American price, 20 the consumer are
not as high rs foreign prices plus hish
protective duty as il says might have
been expected. Competition, attracted
by aIiurng profits, has Kept prices
down.
Taft follows this argument to its
conclusion, and asks for ~ immpd-
late lowering Of the tariff wall, lest
the industry be monopolzcd and prizes
raised to the limit.
The president states that present
wool duties ARE made an excuse Of
the difference in cost OF productions
here and abroad" and recommends
that they should be reduced 10 point
which accord. with this principe.
The president asserts that no such
exhaustive report as this has ever ben
presented to Congress before. OnIv
the summary Of the report accom-
panied the message. The detailed
finding of the board vii! till several tat
volumes.
\ desuItory debate was induced by
motion Of Representative Rtndell
dem. Texas referring the wool mes
sage to the committee on ways and
means. The republicans Insisted thai

companied the message should be
