Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Jan. l. - That
Theodore Roosevelt will be i canfi-

comes strong enough for him 10 re-
spond to ii is the statement made by
John Burroughs, the author-naturalist,
in an interview published in the
Poughlleepsie Courier
Much significance is attached tc
this prediction on account of Mr.. Bur

ident, who when chief executive of the
nation honored Mr.. Burroughs by max
ing a special trip to visit him at Slab
Sides" his home near here, and later
he had Mr.. Burroughs as his guest on
a hunting trip in the west The two
have many tastes in common.
When Mr. Burroughs was asked his
views on the events of 1911 he said:
I'm politics think the turning of the
people to Roosevelt as significant. |
| doubt if the Democrats will have sense
enough to nominate as good man as
Wilson. If they do the people will

he would consider it his duty to re-

be president again.

REBELS ATTACK
f. IMPERIAL FORCE
Fighting Now. Going on All
around Wu-Chang.
CHINESE ARMIST|CE BROKEN
Officers of Imperial Army Sign Me-
mortal Asking Princes and Mobiles
to Surrender Wealth for
Sinews of War.
CHINESE ARMIST|CE BROKEN

Pekin, China, Jan. 2. = Disappoint-
ment has come to those who hoped
that the armistice between the i'm
perials and the republicans would be
continued on after Dec. 81.
The old year had not closed when
the republicans at Wu-Chang and in
that neighborhood again attacked the
imperial forces at Hankow and Han
Yang. 1t is probable that the first
troops to attack were not aware of the
recent negotiations for peace and a
national convention. These descended
the river in boats and began an as
sault on Han-Yang and the other re-
publican troops Joined them.
General Ii Yuan Heng, on hearing
of the fighting, ordered the republican
troops to withdraw and the firing for
some time ceased. 1t began AGAIN,
however, and continued intermittsntly
all day. Nothing definite has been
learned as to the results of the feht-
ing, but reports from impcrialist
sources say the attacks were unsuc-
cessful These reports add that the
imperialists at Hankow had placed
their ammunition on trains and were
preparing TO quit when the fighting
was reopened.
The stories of the retirement Of Ere
mier Yuan Shin Kai are still unveri
fed. 1t is now stated that he has a
memorial, signed by all the command
ing officers of the imperial army, de
handing tie surrender OF the vas:
wealth of The princes and nobles in
order to enable the army to continue
the war. This memorial, it is said
Yuan will present to the dowager EN-
press and the other members of the
imperial clan at the palaces. The me
mortal says in effect that the com
manders and soldiers do not want 9

flee their lives for the monarchy and

empress and the princes to give thi:
money the commanders will resig1
