PREMIER OF CHINA GIVES INTER.
VIEW AND TELLS HOW Gov
EMINENT STANDS.

London, Jan. 10.--"I appointed a
peace commission" said Yuan Shi Kai,
the imperial premier at Peking, "be-
cause l recognized that force never
would solve the differences between
northern and southern China, which
only can be fused by a compromise.
Foreign influence had nothing to do
with the decision and the story that
believed Great Britain and Japan We're
cooperating to maintain the monarchy
is absurd"
Continuing, the interview, which Is
sent by the Peking correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph, Yuan Shi Kai
said:
II obtained what Is unprecedented In
the history of mankind-imperial sane
tlon to a convention which is en-
powered, If 1t so chooses. to vote the
dynasty out of existence and legally
establish a republic But instead Of
accepting this remarkable solution,
the revolutionary leaders believed they
could jockey me into accepting a
packed revolutionary convention,
which I never will.

The premier admitted that the Mon

but said that so far he had received
no hint OF foreign intervention.

Police Headquarters was quieter yes

Rosenthal shooting. There was a per-
ceptible air Of apprehension. as II no
one knew just which way the cat was
going to jump.
Commissioner Dougherty kept pretty
closely to his room most Of the day
and refused to say anything about the
case. He was more subdued than he
has been at any time during the in
vcstigation.
II seemed to he the opinion Of those
about the building that Dougherty is
being left out OF the inquiry: that he
