Washington. Jan. 3.-Thc recogni-
ton by the United States Of the re-
public Of China as a member of the
family Of nations is called for by a
resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Sulzer of New York and referred
to the committee on foreign relations
today. The resolution congratulates
"the people of China for claiming
their inherent rights of self govern
ment."
Virtually all American residents in
China it was reported to the state de-
the treaty ports. Figures from Amer
tcan diplomatic representatives In
China show that 100 foreigners in
cluding 35 Americans, were reported
on November 8 to have departed
down the Y,.ngtse river from Chung
King. Szechuen province. under the
convoy Of a gunboat.
the province Of Zhensi is reported to
be 12 adults and 8 children; in Kan
gu province II American adults and
: children. These people are in the
inaccessible regions. Seven Ameri-
cans are said still to be in the prov
inces Of Human and Hupeh.
All American women and children
have left Chang Chow and other in
terror points in the southern part of
Fukien province. while those in the
Immediate vicinity of Foochow have
withdrawn to that port.
The many American missionaries in
Kwantung province are concentrated
at Canton, WI Chow and other points
where protection by foreign gunboats
is available.
State department advices make II
appear that the revolutionaries were
responsible for the renewal Of hos
tilities at Han Yang. Through naval
sources 1t was learned that the i'm
perial troops at that point were try
ing to withdraw peaceably when at
tackled by the revolutionary forces.
If this breach Of the armistice Is con-
doned by the leaders on either side II
Is feared that the gravest results may
follow.
It is presumed that the foreign rep
resentatives of the powers at Picking
and Shanghai, acting under their or
lginal instructions will bring pressure
again to bear upon the controllig
spirits to quell the disturbace at Han
Yang which threatens the important
city of Hankow. and endeavor to have
the peace negotiations resumed.

FREIGHT RATES

Products and Salt Are
Affected
INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSIONS S examination
Findings Upon Which Rates Are Based
Are Results of an Exhaustive In
quiry Which Extended Over a Long
Period of Time.

Washington. Jan. 3.--Radical re-
duction in freight rates on live stock,
packing house products and salt were
today prescribed by the interstate
commission to apply to all western
and southwestern railroads.
The commission holds the present
rates on live stock from points in
New Mexico. Texas and Oklahoma
City. Okla, and Wichita, Kan, un-
reasonable; the existing rates on fresh
meats and other packing house prod
ucts from Fort Worth. Oklahoma City
and Wichita to points in other states
unreasonable. and the rates on salt
from the Kansas fields to Oklahoma
City unjust.
The findings Of the commission,
prepared by Commissioner Prouty,
are the result of an exhaustive inves-
ti'ation and affect the rates to all
points east. The railroads are given
until February 1, 1912, to put in
force the rates suggested.

Unfavomble weather and crop condi-
lions reported from the eastern part of
