MORE PROVINCES ARE DECLAR.
 ING FOR A REPUBLIC.
COURT PREPARING FLIGHT
pr. Wu Ting Fang Favors constitu tionaI Monarchy, but Is in General Sympathy with RevoIutionists.

Peking, Nov. 7.-The legations con- slider that the end of the Manchu lynasty is imminent. There seems no nope of saving even nominal throne. The provinces north of the Yangtse are now declaring, for a republic. The only force of Manchu troops large enough to cope with the local situa- tlon are in Peking, but there are in Ee surrounded before many days by Chinese soldiers.
 Court May Seek Refuge at Chang kia
 kau.
 Where the court will take refuge is question. There are evidences that the court intended to proceed to Chang Kia Kau (Kalgan). Troops guarding the route to that town, which lies in the province of Chilli. 125 miles northwest of Picking, were ex- pected to dynamite the tunnel after the passage of the train bearing the emperor and his household. Reports have now been received that Chang Kia Kau is unsafe.
 Prince Ching's Palace Deserted.
 The national assembly is holding meetings without quorum, but cer- tain members are endeavoring to maintain nucleus. Na-Tung, vice president of the privy council, has taken rooms for his family in hotel in the legation quarter. Prince Chings palace seems to be deserted. It is be- lieved he is in the Forbidden City. American Soldiers Sent to Missions.
 American soldiers were sent with supply Of skyrockets to each outlying mission compound tonight. The lega- tion has advised the Americans to come into the quarter or seek other places of safety A concerted attack upon the foreigners is not feared. but there are many in the city opposed to foreigners.
 It is expected that the assassina- ton of General Wu Tu-Cheng will lead tc the revolt of the remainder of his old Sixth division, which is now with Yuan Shi Kai. The government re- ports, however, that two trainloads of imperial soldiers are now on their way to Hankow and these may be sufficient to prevent a mutiny.
 Preparing for Flight of Court.
 A hundred carts left Picking tonight for Jehol and two hundred mounted Manchus proceeded in the same direc- ton early in the day. The Chinese be- lieve that this advance party is pre- pairing the way for flight of the court, but many Manchus are fleeing and troops are constantly moving in the vicinity of Peking.
 The Menchu troops here number Ill., 900, the imperial guards 7.500, the DO lice 1000 and the banner police about 5000. The city is quiet tonight and there is no sign of any intended move n'ent

REGARDS PUGILISM AS
 BETTER THAN FOOTBALL.
Aviation the Only Sport Worse in the
 Opinion of pr. Eliot.

New York, Nov. 7.-Pugilism is bet ter and aviation the only sport worse than football according to pr. Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus of Har- ward university. who sailed today for a trip around the world.
 Dr. Eliot is sailing ou peace mis- sion as representative of the Carnegie endowment, the organization and aims or which he is to explain to Asiatic countries. The matter of sports came up when newspaper interviewer ren- tured to ask the educator what he thought of Harvard's defeat by Prince ton.
 T don't take much interest in foot ball. he replied. Its too dangerous for professional players, and college men can't play it more than a year. They are liable to too many serious ir.juries-injuries for life. |
 Its different from baseball, and it's worse than prizefighting. The man in the ring doesn't run such a chance of being maimed as the man on the grid iron"
 "Is there anything to your mind worse than football?"
 Yes-aviation. That's demoralizing to the spectators. They don't go to see aeronauts in flight, but with the anticipation of seeing him fall and perhaps be killed"

 Rebels Success.

Shanghai, Nov 7.-Dr. Wu Ting Fang, who has been chosen director oi foreign affairs in the reform govern Inent established by the revolutionaries in the province of Kiang-Su, today gave . long statement to the Associat- ed Press in which he announced his adherence to the movement designed to establish republican form of govern ment in China.
 Dr. Wu Ting Fang made it plain that he was not definitely committed to the idea of republic, though he believed that such a government would be feasible Personally he favors a constitutional monarchy, but he was in sympathy with the general revolution ary movement and the majority behind that movement had set their hearts on a republic. He added:
 Whatever the outcome of the pres ent upheaval. it will be to the advan- tage of China. If the revolutienists succeed, the question of whether the future government will be a republic O. a constitutional monarchy will have to be decided. If it is to be the former ] anticipate a combination of the United States constitution with the acts of the German federation.
 sIn any case, new China will seek the friendship of foreigners and prob ally a revision of her treaties will en- sue. Anyhow, China will be opened to foreign trade and the government and people alike will do their utmost to stimulate business with the outside world and develop the natural re- sources of the country Foreign ad- visers will also be needed, of admins trative capacity
 Dr. Wu declined to discuss the mat ter of his appointment as director of foreign affairs by the provisional gov ernment.
