IN CHAOS.
A Startling State Of
Affairs at Pekin.
Government Head Not in
Sight and Funds Needed.
International Group May Accede
To Urgent Requests.
Quiet Continues al Shanghai
Completing Organization.
Republic Plans as Now Understood
Troops Refuse to Surrender.

Pekin, Nov. 5.-Yuan Shi Kai still
declines to accept the premiership. al
though assured of the support OF the
National Assembly and Gen. Chang,
in command of the Manchu troops
Both the Assembly and Gen Chang
insist, however, that when the Par
lament is elected the premier shall be
chosen by that body.
In the meantime affairs here are in
a state of chaos. No tangible head of
the government is visible. The gov
eminent urgently needs funds and
hopes that the Franco Belgium loan
Yves forthcoming 10 enable the mill
tary operations and the administra-
ton to be carried on. The internation-
al group refuses to supply war funds.
The government is urging the group
to advance money, TO allay the threat
ened financial and public deadlock in
Pekin. because it IS feared that the
nom circulation of money will cause
the Coolies and the lower classes Sc
ri5us hardships which possibly might
lead to local disturbances.
70 this the group is inclined To ac-
cede. although foreign commercial ir-
terests at Pekin are ineonsiderable
The question al tangible security aP-
pears 10 be almost insurmountdble.
but the negotiations continue. The
group insists that the funds he used

that. if completed, the loan be handed
over to the local Chinese Chamber Of

The third division of the army. sta

orders to proceed 20 Fanchu. The gov
ernment evidently hopes that the

division is now going on. and the at
titude of the men is eagerly await
ed, because it will probably turn the
scales in north China. Elsewhere in

diers generally sympathize with the

Gen WI Lu Cheng. governor-oleet
of Shan-Si has informed the govern
ment that he can persuade the Shan

but it is feared that Wa himself is

Action in Tobacco Case Having
Unexpected Good Effect.
Steel Corporations Third Quarters
Earnings Greatest Known.

New York, Nov. Through many
weeks of depression in the stock mar
ket and uneasiness over the political
and Industrial situation, Wall Street
gave itself over to gloomy forebod-
ings. Trade was shrinking, stocks
were falling and the future of the
great corporations was regarded as
uncertain Last week witnessed a
change. Sentiment became more hope
full. Trading in stocks increased, and
the most rapid and extensive advance
of several months vas achieved.
OF the several influences which
brought about the change. probably
the most potent was the qualified ac-
ceptance of the American Tobacco re-
plan by the attorney gen.
eral. Stock market operators jump

suits which may be instituted against
other large corporations be decided
in favor of the prosecution, GEORGIAN
ization will be possible upon the gen.
eral lines laid down in the American

The earnings of the United States
Steel Corporation fer the third quar-
ter exceeded all expectations. The
character of the report was a strong
influence in bringing about more
cheerful feeling, as Ii was taken to
