coTiATE WITH REBEL LEAD
ERs TO END HoSTIlITlES.
WAR MINISTER is 0USTED
Yuan Sill kai Takes Command-As-
sembly Asks Popular Parliament
Gen. Ii Yuen Heng Claims He Is
President of New Republic.

Picking, Oct. 2S.-The Chinese
throne, recognizing the futility Of at
tempting to put down the revolution
by force, has yielded to Yuan Shi Kai,
the recalled reformer. and will seek
to open negotiations for settlement
with the rebels.
The announcements is made Official
ly here and is regarded as a victory
for the revolutionists. To bring about
peace the throne must offer terms on
a basis OF constitutional government
and it is authoritatively declared that
the throne is ready to take this step.
Government Makes Advances.
Ii is proposed to send government
emissaries at once to the Yangtse
Kiang regions, the hotbed Of the revo-
luton. The government is said to
have made such advances already to
certain of the rebel chiefs to learn
their temper and to have received the
reply that no capitalization will be
agreed to unless 1t provides for q
complete reorganization of the govern
ment, including the immediate conven-
ton of the representative parliament
and the appointment Of Yum Shi kai
as premier.
The national assembly adopted
resolution to memorabilia the throne
requesting the immediate institution
of a popular parliament, with the
mobiles excluded from the cabinet and
the pardon of all political prisoners
including the rebels.
More Cities Are Seized.
The rebels have taken no cogniz-
ance of the new attitude of the gov
eminent, however. Mganking, the
capital of the province of Nganhwei,
100 miles southwest of Marking, has
been taken and other minor successes
are reported from several sections.
Great excitement was caused here
when band of rebel sympathizers
set upon Sheng Hsuan Huai, the re-
moved minister, and were prevented
from assassinating him only by the
prompt interference Of the imperial
police. He asked to be taken to the.
American legation, whence he was es-
corted to Tientsin by squad Of sol
diers.
Yuan Shi Kai has been placed in
complete control of the imperial
army and navy and will proceed to
Sinyangchow at once to take COM
mand He relieves Gen. Tin Tchang,
minister of war, who has,been ordered
to return to Picking. A we'll grounded
rumor is current here that Tin Tchang
is dead.
Proclaimed as President.
Gen. Ii Yuen Heng, leader Of the
rebel forces, has informed the for
eign consuls that he has been pro-
claimed president of the republic
of China" 1t is believed, however,
that in the event of a new form of
government Yuan Shi Kai will become
the ruler of China.
Business here is at standstill and
feeling of expectancy approaching
alarm pervades the city. All explo-
sives are being removed from the vi
cinity of the city and the China navi-
CATION company has abandoned Han
kow as a terminus, following the
seizure of one of their steamers by the
rebels, who are using it as transport.
