Missionaries Enter Politics

Many missionaries in the northern pro- Vi,ces strongly resent the attitude of the missionaries in Shanghai who are publicly supporting the revolution. Bishop Bash ford of the Methodist Episcopal mission, and other prominent American mission aries have expressed to the Washington administration the view that a republic is inevitable, while another group, almost entirely Americans, have telegraphed the empress dowager and the leading princes, asking them to abdicate.
 The American legation approves of the opinions expressed in the following letter addressed to the legation from a mission in Chilli Ko.
 'We strongly disapprove of missionaries themselves on the side of the revolution aries. It is a menace to us who remain in the northern interior. The act of the missionaries in Shanghai signing such telegrams and widely publishing them brands the missionary body as revolution ary and might mean our being wiped out al any tine''
 The imperialists already suspect that the missions, especially the American missions. are inculcating revolutionary ideas. The American minister, Mir Cal houn, has endeavored repeatedly to per suade all the missionaries to leave the interior, but many of them. particularly the medical missionaries, feel that their duty requires them to remain.

It meant the expressing of B. new switchboard; it meant the im- nortation of scores of experts and wire men: 1t meant the nasty closing or con tracts for putting the burned building hack in shane, and it meant work night and day with not single let up during the 24 hours.
 If was announced yesterday afternoon that everything was ready and that serv- ice might be resumed at any minute. me only thing to cause delay was the damp ness of the cables containing the thous- ands of wires. Big stoves had been lireo up in the telephone building and were kept going night and day, and as soon as the experts announced that the cables were dry enough for service 'central got busv spreading the tidings to night workers and other subscribers to Bell phones will be notified all over the city this morning.
 The restoration of the service within a littla less than nine days after so dlsas- trous a fire as that which wrecked the building a week ago Sunday morning IS one to be regarded as reinafkaple achievement. It took wonderful organiza- ton, and it took indefatigable labor, pu' 1t was accomplished.
 Of course, the burned building has by no means been restored to it's former con dition. All efforts were directed to get ting the building in such shape as to protect the switchboard and employees from the elements. The switchboard was the main thing. Now that it has been put into shape, the building can be erected around 1t.

Ranking, January 22.-'I am absolutely convinced now as I have always been of the success and the righteousness of this movement. Every moral, physical and financial sinew of the provinces of China proper supports it.

Dr. Sun Gives Out Lengthy Inter- view-Republic Is Inevitable Out come of Present Conditions.
 Expects Recognition Soon

Picking, January 22-Premier Yuan Shi Kai's efforts to bring about the abdica- ton of the throne have failed and the situation in China has entered a new and perplexing phase Prince Ching. ex-pre- mier; Prince Pu Lun. ex-president of the national assembly, and Prince Tsai Stun, brother of the ex-regent, absented them selves from the conferences of princes clan today, which left the decision as to abdication to the reactionaries, who have been strengthening their hand stead- fly since the premier permitted the prob ability of abdlcation to become known.
 Mongolians Support Manchus
 Curiously enough. the princes of inner Mongolia whom the Manchns consider inferior to themselves, rallied to the aid of the Manchus. At previous meeting one of the Mongols strongly eontrovert- ed Prince Chings argument that the im- perial armies were unable 10 oppose the rebels. Apparently preparations were completed for a provisional government; an abdication ediet had even been draft ed, but the announcement that such a course was contemplated, which had been allowed to become public with the evi- dent object of preparing the Manchu troops against the shock, inspired clans men of all degrees to resist.
 The empress dowager, being reluctant to abdicate has accepted the advice of the reactionary princes. The matter Of appointing Yin Tehang, ex-war minister. or Tieh-Liang, former Tarter general at Ranking, to replace Yuan Shi kai was discussed. but the argument pre- vailed that the 19 articles of the con stitution promulgated by the national as sembly last November should be ob- served
 Yuan's Bluffing Obvious
 Yuan Shi I<ais bluffing is becoming obvious. He has held special trains ready for several days for his departure, but now that the Manehus have accepted his challenge, he remains in Picking. He has asked for further so-called sick leave" indicating that ne has no inten- tion of relinquishing the premiership. He is now recognized as anti-Manchu, there fore, this distrustful country accuses him of personal designs. But 1t may be that he is only following patriotic determi- nation to prevent a di>ssion of the coun- try, with the prospect of subdivisions.
 Foreign legations, including the Amer ican, do not want. Yuan Shi Kai to retire, because a capable substitute for his office is not available. It is realized that Yuan s presence alone prevents widespread disor- ders in the north, which would endanger the lives of foreigners. It is believed he will remain in Picking, protected alike from Manchu attacks and rebel dynamite uitil the Manchus discover their inability to cope with the situation; whereupon he will resume control.
