STATESMAN WELL KNOWN IN UNITED STATES AND EUROPE
 TO RULE NEW REPUBLIC.
ROYAL FAMILY TO FLEE
Head of New Government Who Dreamed of Awakening of His Country Is to Establish New
 Capital at Nankin.

Shanhai. China.-Dr. Sun Vat Sen, for twenty years an exile from his native land, with fabulous Man. chu price on his head as revolu- tionist, today is president of the new republic of China.
 His dream has come true-.the dream of the awakening of the Dragon that kept him working and planning while paid assassins sought his life. In the Chinese quarters of San Fran cisco and New York, and i'll other American cities, pr. Sun, often in dis guise, planned the revolt that soon is to result in the complete overthrow of the old empire
 Posing as Japanese merchant or "a coolie iaborer or laundryman, Dr. Sun evaded his pursuers, raised funds snd directed his trusted lieutenants who fostered the revolt in China. And today the end of the monarchy is fore shadowed and pr. Sun, at last in DOW er is striving to restore order ill the country and to construct a new China.
 Two Problems Confront pr. Sun.
 Two most serious problems con i front Dr. Sun and lis advisers One is the suppression of brigandage in the provinces and the raising of funds to pay soldiers engaged in this task An other is the threatened complications growing out of the announcement of independence for Mongolia, which is ] i,, nI i'm portanee.
 At the meeting of the provisional military assembly. r of the IS dele gates voted for Dr. Sun on the first ballot, and dissenting vote was changed, and the election made unan- imous
 Dr. Sun was immediately notified by wire at Shanghai and responded with the following message to the assem- bly,:
 T consider it my duty to accept the presidency. My policy will be to ob- tain peace and a stable government by the promptest methods possible, My single aim is to insure the peace and eontentment cf the millions of my eountrymen.
 The new president plans to go to Nansin within the next few days and make the city the capital of the new republic Eight thousand revolution ist troops were sent from Shanghai to Napkin to reinforce the guard there and insure protection for the repub- lies officials.
 Dr Wu Ting Fang, secretary of for eign affairs in the revolutionary cab inet, is expected to be Dr. Suns clos est adviser in the new government. Dr Wu, who was formerly minister to Washington, and very close to the ManchI dynasty, deserted the throne and became an ardent sympathizer with he revolutionary cause. He is very ppalar among the foreign off cials, and is recognized as broad gauge4 statesman.
 Advtes have been received from Pekin that the members of the royal family are preparing for flight. They belieyelth a resumption or warfare will nlsan the speedy capture of Pc kin and possibly the execution of nu- merousi Manchu princes who have been most active in attempting to stamp out the revolt.
