cordia parish. Louisiana. and the town
servers at ,Natchez Immediately denied
the rumor and said the story had been
circulated in a general scheme to affect
the cotton market.

SOUTHERN CHINESE
FEAR TROOPS AT PEkIN

PEkIN, April 10.--No date has yet been
settled on for the assembling OF The Goa :
lition cabinet at Pekin and there are
grave forebodings in regard to the con-
tinued disagreement among the different
factions OF the government.
There appears 10 be no fear that hos
tilities WY break out again, but the lead :
ers OF the various sections display ina
bility to establish a capable government.
President Yuan Shi KaI has Threatened
to establish his cabinet and summon an
other national assembly If the delegates
from the south do not arrive here by
April 81. but the president probably will
not go to such an extreme Immediately.
The members of the government disa :
gree on various points, but Chinese cir
cles and the foreign diplomats are OF the
opinion that the real deterrIng factor In
the situation is the distrust OF the south-
erners, who fear TO come TO Pekin. where
the troops still dominate the situation
and where business has been resumed
only by the smaller storekeepers,
The southerners proposed to bring a
bodyguard OF several thousand troops to
Pekin. but President Yuan Shi Kai OBJ
jected, declaring the presence of the
southern troops IN the capital a source Of
danger,

there could be found within his state

Senator Jones interrupted to say that
he had not defended plate nor crltl-

Christ was the moving force In the
world wide progressive movement OF the
day and that the den Of thieves which
Christ had referred to was part OF

The ordinary people, he said, had not
