MUCH DEPENDS ON
RESUMPTION OF FIGHTING.

Pekin, Jan. Much depends on
whether the fighting near Hankow
was authorized by the republicans and
whether II will be followed up by the
republicans or imperialsts The As
soclated Press is informed that the
news OF the attack was welcomed by
Yuan Shi kai, who will now await
issue of battle. II the imperialists are
victorious 1t will give the throne Il
brief lease of life, while "A reverse to
the imperialst army q is believed,
would precipitate the abdication of
the emperor.
The Daily News the organ of the
foreign office. proposes in an article
printed today that the republicans
and imperialists save the country
from anarchy by forming a united
government which shall control af-
fairs until AN assembly can be selected
and determine whether the country
shall be turned into a republic or re-
main "A monarchy This indicates even
Yuan Shi Kai's dread of a PARTITION
ing OF the empire. There is little
doubt that he prefers the abdication
of the emperor to this.
1t Is said the reason why the Inn
perial princes have refrained from do
mating large sums of money to aid
the government Is that they feel the
cause is hopeless and
also because some of them seriously

Saginaw, Mich, Jan. 1.--AfteI
speaking at Flint and Bay City, dur
ing the day, Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette wound up his first days caib-
paign in Michigan in the interests OF
his progressive" candidacy for the
republican nomination for president
with an address at the Masonic Tenn
pie here tonight. He discussed The
trusts and their relation to the tar
iff: the money trust as the climax of
all, and the necessity of returning
control OF the government as he said,
to the hands of the people He ask
ed the support of all republicans and
democrats alike, in doing this.
The Dingley tariff law~he said, by
raising the tariffs high enough to eli
inmate foreign competition, opened
the way for the trusts. In describing <
the rapid growth since 1897, when the
Dingley law was passed, the senator
said trust capitalization had increased
over fifty-four per cent during the
four years of the preceding adminis-
tration, despite the fact that numbe
OF prosecutions had been begun. BY
that time they had become SO strong
that they dehed prosecution.
Alexander Hamilton, Henry Clay
and William Mckinley said Senator
LaFollette, would never have spoken
of the tariff as they did if there had
been no competition. The stand-pat-
ter today is the worst enemy of the
protective system."
lie declared that a few men IN Wall
street, who have no politics. but who
are interested only in business, con-
troll the affairs of the country ana
that the big problem now is to return
control to the people.
IF | did not believe the republi-
can party was the best instrument for

publican party.
"A true American believes i'm demo
