Shanghai, China, Jan. s.-Gen. Il
Yuan Hung, leader of the rebel army
and hailed throughout the Flowery
Kingdom as the 'Liberator OF China
has laid down the law to the intriguing
Chinese statesmen in Pekin who are
trying to frame up constipation TO
suit themselves and their political fol-
lowers. Here Is what he wired TO the
national assembly:
Il believe your had better leave the
. framing of the constitution to- the
men who are doing the fighting.
There wasn't much to the message
but to those who are acquainted win
ahe character Of the sender, and, as there
is no one in Pekin unfamiliar with
Il, II meant everything 1t has been
the policy of China TO first find the
good men, the able men, the strong
'men-and then keep them down
An Able Administration.
Yuan shih Rai got to the top in
spite OF them. He is an unusually able
administrator. But when he bagan to
appear as a great leader there was
cabaI against him and he was lucky to
get out of Pekin alive. Indeed, he
would have been put to death but for
the knowledge that executing him
would have caused China to lose
face" with the powers.
The abilities of Gen. Ii Yuan Hung
were recognized early in his career.
Therefore, he was never allowed to
get to the top until he suddenly arose
in his strength and struck a blow at
the throne-and that one blow shat
tered it. Study the face of this new
lion-it IS all strength, all resolution.
He is the idol of the Chinese to-day,
and, If he continues to be as success
full as he has been thus far during the
rebellion there is nothing within the
power to give that will be withheld.
Gen. Ii Yuan Hung, whose courtesy
name is Sung Ching. Is a native of the
Huangpi district of Hupeh. He was
graduated with the first class Of the
Peiyan Naval College and was first ap-
pointed officer in charge of artillery OF

BULALIA SOLVES
SERVANT PROBLEM
Proposes Emergency System
for Flat DWellers.

Paris, Jan. s.-The Infanta Eulalia, in
those reflections of hers which occa-
stoned so much anxiety to her nephew.
King Alfonso, takes q broad and inter
esting view Of the servant question
throughout the world. She predicts, in
fact, that we shall have to come TO
service by the hour or else find ourselves
without servants. TT is undeniable, :"
she says, that we have become the
servant of our servants. since they i'm
pose their conditions on entering our
service. and we have to accept their de-
mands under pain of being ostracized
by their cooperative associations.
In America people, I am told, no
longer eat at home on Sunday, because
the chef or the cook spends that day in
the country; in England maids refuse to
sit up for their mistresses at night
know a spinster lady who had to go to
bed dressed because her maid would not
get up and unhook her dress for her. In
Germany one of the conditions of service
masked balls on certain evenings.
Would II not be sufficient in a house
let out in flats II there were a hospital
nurse for urgent cases and a kind of
policeman to keep away burglars? Serv-
ice by the hour would have the advan-
tage of regularity, and servants would
earn more money by specializing, and
would not be forced to obey the word of
command Of the same master or mistress
the whole day long"
To sum up the infanta's case, after all
you have a masseur, you have a coif
feur, you have a manicurist, a pedicur-
fst, a vacuum cleaner-all by the hour.
Service companies would have TO be
founded, and all you would have to do
would be to telephone when you wanted
to take your bath or to be undressed, or
have your hair done, or for other domes-
tic service

Four Persons killed and One In
Iured by Fiend.

Paris, Jan. s.-Four persons were
murdered and another one dangerously
injured by a man named Guillaume
Courmier, at vicle-Comte. near Au-

Nine. Verdier and their son Emile. To
revenge himself, Courmier determined
to kill them all.
With razor in his pocket and carry
ing a gun he left his house at 4:45
o'clock and went toward the residence
of NJ and Nine. Mandonet, who were
just returning home from work when
he arrived. He shot them both dead
and then cut their throats with his
razor.
Afterward he crossed the River

son were killed outright with ball
cartridges, and NJ. Verdier Is not ex-
pected TO recover. Courmier has given
