Toxic, Dec. 27.-Yuan Shi Kai's pro-
posal to decide the form of govern
ment which shall prevail under the
new regime in China. by means at a
convention Of delegates from all over
the empire is regarded here as q
shrewd move. but opinion is divided as
to whether it can be successfully car
ried out. Many prominent Japanese
believe the proposal will be accepted
by the revolutionary leaders in order
to make 1t easier for Yuan Shi Kai to
impress upon the court the fact that
abdfcation is unavoidable.
On the other hand many Of the we'll
informed men here think the great
body of the revolutionists are too i'm
patient for action to await the tedious
outcome Of national convention. The
revolutionists are fully aware of the
present helplessness Of the Pekipg
government. With this in mind, the
rebel army at Marking may insist up
on the refusal Of Yuan Shi Kai's pro-
.posai and demand an immediate re.
sumption Of military activity. The
soldiers confidently expect Yuan win
yield as gracefully as possibly when-
ever such demonstration is made.
