 Tang Shao Vi apears to be much affected over the situation. Up to last night he believed peace was assure and that there would be no further bloodshed. It is feared now that a continuation of the peace conference IS impossible as the telegraph is an un- satisfactory means of negotiating ana certain republicans will never consent to hold the conference In Pekirig.
 Yuan Shi Kafs tardy repudiation of his pIenipotentiary, Tank Shao Vi, Is almost unanimously denounced m Shanghai and Ranking. It has not been settled what form, if any, the future negotiations will take This depends entirely on President Sun Yat Sen, who has instructed Secretary Wu Ting Fang to telegraph Yuan Shi Kai to come to Shanghai and personally negotiate with the President of the new republic.
 Wu Ting Fang Is not sparing In his public denunciation of what he terms Yuan Shi Kai's bad faith, dishonesty and repudiation of his representative.
 The revolutionaries assert they .have faithfully kept the terms of the ar mistice as far as it has been possible to control their adherents and they will continue to do so but unless Yuan changes his present attitude they will certainly move on Picking.
