 Premier Yuan, either in Hankow, Wu Chang or their vicinity, is under stood to be doing everything in his power to break down the revolution ist leaders resolution by offers of high position under the imperial govern ment, but there is good authority for current reports that he has telegraph ed pessimistically to the government concerning the probable outcome of the negotiation.
 There seems possibility, indeed, that northern China, which is not so thoroughly republican as the south, may accept the thrones concessions, but it is agreed here that this would undoubtedly mean the southern prov ince's secession, a bloody civil war and probably ultimate foreign inter- vention and the disintegration of the district.
 The Pekin Manchus are outnumb. cred by the Chinese five or seven to one but, as the wealthy and hitherto dominant class they are better armed and more aggressive and could un- doubtedly give a frightful account of themselves in the event of their threatened outbreak.
 The cutting of queues, the former mark of Chinese subserviency to the Manchus, has already begun, in ac- cordance with the authorization in the latest imperial edict.
 The government has been frightened into abolishing the censorship, but the telegraphs have been so disorganized by the widespread disorders through out the country that news is meagre arrives slowly and is so conflicting that no one knows exactly what is happening in southern China.
