SEVERE FIGHTING.
CONTINUED from Page One.)

mistice was decided upon.
Much depends upon whether the
fighting near Hankow was authorized
by the Republicans and whether it
viii be followed up by the Republi-
cans of Imperialists. The Associated
Press is informed that the news OF
the attack was welcomed by Yuan
Sal Kai, who will now await the is
sue of the battle. If the imperialists
are victorious it will give the throne
"a brief lease of life While "a reverse
TO the imperial arms it is believed!
would precipitate the abdication OF
the Emperor.
The Daily News. the organ of the
foreign office, proposes In an article
printed, today, that the Republicans
and Imperialists prevent the partition
ing of the country and save it from
anarchy by forming a united govern
ment which shall control affairs un-
til an Assembly can be elected and
determine whether the country shall
be turned into IL republic or remain
q monarchy. This indicates even Yuan
Shi Kafs dread of partitioning of
the empire. There is little doubt that
he prefers the abdication of the En-
peror to this.
Tang Shao vi. Yuan Sbi Kai's rep
resentative at Shanghai, has rendered
his resignation as peace delegate,
but Yuan has refused to accept IT.
1t is said the reason the Imperial
princes have rcfrained from donating
large sums of money to aid the gov
eminent is because they feel the gov
ernment's cause is hopeless and be
cause some of them seriously distrust
Yuan Shi Kai.
