PEKING, Jan. 3-The imperial govern
ment troops stationed at Chin Wang Tao,
the treaty port on the gulf OF Lao Tang.
who number about 1900, have notified the
foreign legations in Peklng that they
desire the formation of a republic. They
are acting I'm cooperation with the i'm
perial government troops stationed at
Lanchow, who were yesterday reported
to have declared in favor of republic
and to have elected Wang Vie TIE their
leader, at the same time declaring their
intention of marching on Peking.
In government circles the incident is not
considered likely to affect the progress
OF the negotiations between the imperial
government and the rebels.
Outside of Pekfng, Linchow and Ching
Wang Tao are the two principal military
centers. The imperial troops stationed
there are divided into two categoues,
Manehu and Chinese. and 1t is only the
Chinese soldiers who have become re-
bellious. Their action in declaring for a
republic has, however, caused consider

the court because the empress dowager,
in handing over S2OOO.OOO from her private
treasury to Premier Yuan Shi Kai, relied
on these troops to march, together with
the Manchus, against the revolutionaries
in the south and to crush the rebellion.
The position now is that the premier,
Yuan Shi Kai, a Chinese, and the Manchu
commanders. with Manchu troops, are
supporting the court and the Manchu
princes against trained Chinese troops IN
the north, and republicans, elated oy
their successes, in the south.

Many Confirmed

A large congregation attended the
confirmation at Christ Church last Tue
day evening. In the absence of Bishop
Hall from the Vermont diocese, Bishop
Parker of the New Hampshire diocese
confirmed the class. The rector, Rev.
II. Chadwick Burt, read the aveF,,,. /,
prayer, Rev. A. M. Dunstan of Groveton
presented the candidates.
The Bishop addressing the class re-
minded them that the easiest way to
avoid evil was by practising good and
suggested four things that they should
practice diligently; daily morning pray
er, daily reading of the Bible, regular
attendance at church service and at the
celebration of Holy Eucharist.
To the parishioners he delivered a
strong sermon showing that the things
of God were higher than the things of
man. That though many passages of
the Bible were difficult to understand,
and that though many think they can
improve the book, the inspired writings
were all intended for mans study and
benefit.

At 1900 O'Clock dinner was served by

Celebrated
WITH BANQUET

In observance of the Ninth Anniver.
sary of the Railroad and Local Young
Mems Christian Association, a bountifuI
banquet was daintily prepared by the
ladies of the Episcopal Church and ser we'd
at the Building on Wednesday evening
May 30. Dlsregarding the drenching
rain which prevailed throughout the
afternoon and evening, about twenty
men were present among whom were the
following speakers from out of town:
Thos. McHattie, Master Mechanic Grand
Trunk Railway, Montreal; Byron N.
Clark, State Secretary Y. NJ. G. A. of
Vermont aud Frank G. Woods, Secretary
T. NJ c, A., East Deering, Me.
Following the banquet the president
a. w. Bosworth, opened with remarks
summing up the work of the Association
Tor the year and referred the guests to
the printed reports for details, after
which he introduced with appropriate
his successor to the chair of
president of the 7. M. G. A., l.. B. Jones.
Mr., Jones responded brilliantly stating
that 1t was an easy matter now to be
President of the Association as Mr.. Bos-
worth had been with the Association all
through its financial struggle and was
now handing over the commission to
him with balance, surplus, of $II4.3
a condition that the Institution has
never before enjoyed. The new Presi.
dent invited the cooperation of the
members and friends of the Y. M. C. A.
to help make it of continued service to
B. n. Clark aud +. Fl. Woods spoke in
of the varied needs the Y. Ms
Z. A. is meeting through the country,
by its practical application to the needs
Of different classes of men. Mr.. Nc
Hattie spoke interestingly on THE Rail-
road and the Y. M. c. A." His forty
years on Boards of Directors of the
Association, and close relation with the
Railroad Companies enabled him to
handle his subject we'll.
In conclusion Mr.. Bosworth arose
with appreciation for the many refer
ences Mr.. Jones had made to his service
during his years as President, but in
formed those present that he deserved
no credit for the very encouraging fin
ancial condition, but that Secretary
Morong, through his careful economy
and hard work during the very heavy
rush of business the past fall and winter
was entitled to that praise.
