Shanghai. Jan. 4.-The imperial
government at Peking has sent orders
to all the generals in command of inn
perial troops that they are to resume
hostilities at 8 o'clock in the fore
noon of January s. unless they receive
notification In the meantime that the
armistice between the two forces have
been renewed.
This step Is taken. 1t is assumed. as
a result Of the refusal of the revolu-
tionists to continue negotiations with
the Picking authorities by telegraph
in accordance with the demand of
Premier Yuan Shi kai. The telegraphic
negotiations were regarded by both
Yuan Shi Kai and WI Ting Fang as
unsatisfactory.
President Sun Vat Sen yesterday
instructed WI to telegraph Yian at
Peking asking him to come to Shang-
hal and negotiate personally with the
president of the new republic.
There are about 10000 imperial
troops in Han Wang and vicinity. and
q clash with the revolutionaries whose
force are said to be almost equal, is
possible at any moment.

TIGERS BREAK WIN
STREAK OF THE SOX

The winning streak of the Johnson
Blue SOx came to an end yesterday
afternoon when the Moline Tigers
pounded out eight runs against a
lonely pair for the locals. The Tigers
took jump from the start and made
most of their runs in the first inning,
when each of the nine members of the
team took chance at bat. Just five
runs came across in the first stanza
After that, the local SALESMAN, Mike
O'COnnell, held the Tigers down some
what, but the locals could not over
come the first inning lead. The Sox
hit the ball all right, but il went right
into the paws of the Tigers. O'Con-
nell and Eng worked as the battery for
the locals, while Arp and VOTERS
did the heavy work for the Tigers
