Believe Yuan Is Planning to Be Dictator of the
 Country
SAVING THRONE TO
 FURTHER OWN ENDS
Secretary Knox Sends Note to German Ambassador Emphasizing Neces- sity for Concerted Action.
 The Powers May Agree

Picking, February S.-A new and strik- ing view of the situation is now taken. It is believed in many quarters that Pre- mier Yuan Shi Kai will possibly succeed in saving the throne after all The Pe- king papers no longer mention abdication or discuss the thrones retirement. Ger tainly Yuan Shi Kai does not intend to proceed with abdcation unless compelled to do so,
 The open opinion here is that the rebels do not possess power to compel the pre- mier to act. The republicans readiness to a permanent armistice and also their willingness to grant the court liberal con- sessions inspires the belief that they themselves recognize their inability to capture Picking. Reports received at the capitol indicate that the republican pre- dicament is worse than that in which Premier Yuan finds himself. Confisca- tons of property, forced assessments and brigandage are causes of discontent throughout the republican provinces.
 Yuans Position
 Should Yuan Sh Kai accede to the re- publican demands his own authority would terminate; he would be at the mercy of the republican leaders and therefore the loyal army would divide be- tween the republicans and Manchus. with the latter hostile to him, believing that he has been treacherous..
 But retaining the throne whose power has already been delegated to him. he would undoubtedly be the country's strongest man.
 The imperial premier's proposal of terms in behalf of the court. including even provision for the eunuchs has won the courts support and baffled the opposition of minor Manchu nobles. Yuan has en- couraged his followers to make promises of abdication to the rebels and publicly arrange plans to this end, but he now re- pudiates them, declaring that the Elm press Dowager authorized him only a week ago 10 enter into negotiations for a settlement. The action of his adher- ents. therefore, he asserts. were not au- thorlzed and are not binding upon him.
 Certain members of the legations credit Yuan Shi Kal with honest motives in desiring to maintain the union by the only possible means--the throne. Many, | however, are convinced that he Is en- trenchlng himself for dictatorship. that | he is wearing out the republicans and | breaking the power of the throne whose | authority will be preserved only suffi- | ciently to serve his ends.

America's S Attitude

Tn reply To your note OI the olsl li- stant. requesting information as to the attitude of the United States with re- gard to conditions in China, l have the honor to state that since the beginning of the present disturbances this goV- ernment as occasion arose exchanged views with the other interested powers particularly France, Great Britain. Italy and Russia-as well as the German inn perial government, as to what course was expedlent for the protection of the common interests. From these exchanges 1t has been made quite clear that all the powers concerned were as one as to the wisdom of maintaining the policy of concerted action in the circumstances:
 Powers Agree
 "This unanimity of view found con crete expression in the identical notes presented by France, Germany, Japan, Russia, Great Britain and the United States simultaneously to the peace com missioners at Shanghai on December 20 as well as in the cooperative meas ures taken for the protection of their common interests throughout China"
 Advices received by this government show that the other goveruments-co con eerned have also had similar exchanges of view, and that official statements of policy 10 the same effect have ap- peared in the public press of various countries
 The note continues:
 Tt is evident the several govern ments hy common consent have not only refrained from infractions and in- tervening In Chinas internal affairs. but have acted in full accord with their mutual assurances that they would re- speet its integrity and sovereignty,
 Concerted Action Best
 "If contrary to all expectations, any further steps should prove necessary, | this government is firmly of convic- ton that the policy of concerted action after full consultation by the powers should and would be made, in order to exclude all possible misunderstand- l ings, it will be done.
 This government is now a corrol- lary of the policy of strictest neutral lity. This has been pursued by com mon accord with respect to loans to China to look with disfavor upon loans | ly the banks elsewhere unless assured the loans would be of neutral effect as between the contending factions. as lit has also felt that the present was an occasion where there, might be in voked with peculiar appropriateness the principle of the leading govern ments deterring the competitors from making loans not approved as to their broad national policies by their own governments in consonance with the other interested powers"

Many Fires in Meridian

Meridian, February S.-(Special)- The Meridian fire department is prob- ably the busiest organization in the city. Three fires per day has been the average for some days past and
 1t seems that 1912 will be a record breaker. Three hundred and three alarms were answered last year, and already a far greater average has been made.

KnOx's Note to Germany

Washington, February S-Secretary Knoxs note to Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador. just made pub lc is taken to be the preliminary of an expected exchange of notes among the United States, Germany, Great Brit ain, France. Japan and Russian envoys of immense importance In placing all of these powers on record for a concerted action and common understanding in the protection of the integrity of China.
 While the note is addressed to the Ger man ambassador, copies have been sent to all the other powers named There happily has thus far been no reason for interference on the part of the foreign powers as both imperialists and repub- lioans have guaranteed the life and prop erty of the foreign population and the latest reports tend to strengthen the be- lief that it is improbable that future de- velopments will necesstate such inter- ference" says Secretary Knox.
