Favor. killing Yuan.

Pekfng, Jan. 24.-The advice Of
Yuan Shi Kai to await an attack by
the rebels is distasteful to the younger
princes whose talk Of war is alarming
Picking.
It Is persistently reported that Tieh
Liang. the former Tartar general at
Nanking who is largely responsible for
the reaction, advocates killing Yuan
Shi Kai. whose influence he thinks is
so great that he should not be per-
mitted to leave the capital. Yuan
evidently forsees the possibility Of an
attack upon himself and Is adopting
extreme precautions Another thou
army from Pao Ting Flu arrived here
last night making Yuan's force of
Chinese 1000. Against these there
are 10000 Manchu troops of the i'm
perial army who 1t Ia suspected are
being incited against Yuan.

asssination which would assuredly en-
majority of the northern troops are
loyal only to Yuan Shi Kai. Today
Yuan authorized the Associated Press
to make the following statement re-.
garding his position:
He is inspired primarily by the de-
SIRE to serve the best interests of the
Chinese people and not the interests
Of either the republicans or the mon
archiets. That time will prove. lie
Is seeking no selfish ends and hopes
to continue in Office as premier long
enough to cause a proper election OF
members Of the national assembly or
'therwise ascertain the correct view
Of the majority Of the people, AS,
however, a general election seems
difficult to accomplish. considering the
attitude Of the republican leaders. he
desires to bring about peace and some
form Of Substantial government as
quickly as possible. He would be will
ing to resign and deliver the control
Of the government to any capable man
who would and could find a solution to
the best interests Of China. Certain
froeign legations have urged him or
expressed the hooe that he would con-
tinue in Office. stating that they had
confidence in. his administration.

ton Of one in Washington at a saving

The Cummins candidacy. although

Of the La Folletteites. who think the

originally declaring for La Toilette.
More disturbing than anything else.
however. are the developments Of the
last few days in connection with tho
Roosevelt movement. It Is beginning
to look as though nothing now can
stop this movement from becoming
the most formidable element Of the
complicated republican situation ex-

Roosevelt himself.
That the former president will feel
tmpelled to make q statement either
to the effect that he will accept the
nomination II 1t is the party demand
or that he will not accept 1t under
any circumstances. is the persistent
view of several persons who have
talked with him recently.

rather have a declaration from Colon

would know Just the kind Of fight they
must conduct.
