Leading Powers to Support Yuan Shi

Revolution Now Four Months Old
This Week Decides War or Peace
Murder and Looting Continue.

Peking-The empress dowager, rec
ognizing that the government is power
less without foreign financial assist
ance, of which there is no hope, has
asked Yuan Shi Kai to conclude the
best possible arrangement in connec-
tion with the retirement of the imperial
family.
Premier Yuan Shi Kai intends to re-
main in Picking and maintain control
pending final arrangements with the re-
publicans. 1t is understood the leading
powers are ready to support Yuan Shi
Kai, believing he is the one strong
leader capable of graphing with the
situation, especially in view of the
discord among republican leaders.
Dispatches from the provinces report
many murders and the looting and
burning of houses. Hundreds of women
are committing suicide in fear of ban
dts who are committing all kinds of
atrocities.
Organizing New Government
Marking, China.-The close of the
fourth month since its outbreak brings
the Chinese revolution to another turn
ing point. The coming week probably
will decide whether order is to be re-
stored or hostilities are to be reopened
after six weeks armistice. In the
latter event the bloodshed and reign
of terror probably will far exceed any
previous record.

TRICT FURNISHES FOUR 1 }
DEATHS THERE.
Whole District Alarmed at Probable
Disaster-Mace Schools Closed From
Fear-Many Persons Move to Safety
One Slide 800 Feet Wide Going
Half a Mile.

Wallace, Idaho.-After four deaths
from snowslides the Occur d'Alenes
passed without additional fatalities,
and Saturday the situation, though
alarming, is relieved. The rain, which
started the heavy SHOWS, continued
throughout the day, and is packing the
snow.
Saturday was marked by a number
of minor slides. Aside from blocking
roads and trails the damage was
slight.
Slide on Old Mace Scene.
The most sensational slide of the
day was at Mace, which moved over
portion of the path of the disaster
of 1910. This slide, shortly before
daybreak, started about 1000 feet
above the town and dropped into the
canyon slowly. Had this slide started
IL hours earlier, when the snow was
less thoroughly soaked, or had it
started nearer the top of the noun
tain, which runs back more than a
half mile above the town, its destruc-
tion would have equaled that of the
slide of two years ago.
The slide which carried the largest
volume of snow of any during this
period occurred one mile and a half
south of Wallace on Placer creek Fri
day night 1t was nearly 200 feet wide,
and ran down the hill nearly 5000 feet.
The debris has completely filed the
narrow canyon, and the county road
along the floor of the valley is covered
by between 80 and 40 feet of snow.
John Thone, a well-known mining
man of Wallace, was added to the list
of casualties resulting from snowslides.
Recover Body of Pearson.
The body of John Pearson, who was
buried in the cabin at the Rockford
mine on Big creek, was recovered. Like
Arthur Lindsten, whose body was
taken from the wreckage, Pearson was
pinned down by heavy wall log.
An examination of the bodies of the
two men caught in the Big creek snow
slide at local undertaking establish
ment showed that neither had been
mangled.
Attempts to find the body of Joe
Bisigh the Italian who was killed at
the Idora mine with Joe Spilgitti, were
without avail.
The body of John Orwell, a miner
who was killed at the Oreano mine by
a slide, was shipped to Baker, Ore.
Threatened slides in the Coeul
d'Alene district have thrown the dis
trict into a panic. The schools al
Mace have been closed and every pre-
caution has been taken to protect
women and children from avalanches
A number of residents of Mace have
moved to Wallace to be out of the
danger zone.

BRITISH MINERS CONFER.

London, May 21.-A conference of
the Miners Federation of Great Brit
ain on the minimum wage question
was commenced today. The bill, as it
passed Parliament left it optional
with local boards to settle the exact
amount of the minimum wage. In the
first test case in South Wales the To-
cal board consisting of representa-
tives of the owners and miners, was
unable to agree. Lord st. Aldwyn
gave a compromise decision against
which both sides have been protest
ing and now another general strike is
threatened. Many of the miners at
today's conference declare they are no
better off than before Parliament
passed the minimum wage act.

DREAMING OF HOME.

1t comes to me often in silence,
When the freight sputters low
When the black, uncertain shadows
Seem to wraiths of the long ago;
Always with the throb of heartache
That thrills each pulsive vein,
Comes the old, unquiet longing
For the peace of home again.
I'm sick of the roar of cities,
And of the faces cold and strange,
] know where there's warmth of well
come,
And my yearning fancies range
Back to the dear old homestead
With an aching sense of pain,
But there'll be Joy in the coming
When go home again.
When go home again! There's
music
That never may die away,
And it seems the hands of angels
On a mystic harp at play
Have touched with a yearning sad
ness
On beautiful, broken strain,
To which is my fond heart wording
When go home again.
Outside of my darkening window
In the great worlds crash and din,
And slowly the autumn shadows
Come drifting in,
Sobbng, the night and murmurs
To the splash of the autumn rain;
But | dread not the glorious greeting
When go home again.
