YUAN SHIH-kAI WINS

Vat Sen and Huang Hsing. In spite
of tremendous pressure put on him
by the revolutionists. Ii Yuen Hung
cast his lot with the president. The
revolt ended in a fiasco and Sun Vat
Sen, Huang Hsing and many other
southern leaders were eliminated from
the political life of China. Ii Yuen
Hung was rewarded with the title,
pillar of the State"
Nevertheless, there were signs that
Ii Yuen lungs presence caused the
government considerable uneasiness.
The president no doubt trusted Ii
Yuen Hung, but he seems to have had
fears that the followers Of the vice.
president might force him to break
with the government. The problem
was to get Ii away from his army and
to be ready to cope with any uprising
which the southern soldiers might
start upon being deprived of their
chief. Large numbers of northern
troops were dispatched to Wucbang
and the Yanktze valley. The war min
listers own division. the Sixth, was
sent to Hankow, which lies Just across
the river from Wuchang. When every
thing was in readiness the minister
of war, Tuan Chi JUL himself pro-
ceeded to Wuchang and relieved Ii
Yuen Hung of his duties as governor
of Hupeh, which act deprived him OF
his command of the troops at W.
chang.
Ii Yuen Hung was then ordered to
come to Picking. He did SO in the
greatest secrecy and without making
the customary farewell calls on the
consuls in Hankow. He was received
in Picking with great pomp and cere.
mony. A magnificent military escort
conveyed him to Yuan's palace.
On arriving at the palace Of the
Three Lakes Ii Yuen Hung was given
quarters on the island where the late
Emperor Kuang Hsu was imprisoned

KILLED 100000 PRAIRIE DOGS
Government Has Waged Relentless
Warfare In Arizona Against
Little Pest.

Washington.-Four hundred thou
sand prairie dogs in the Cochetopa
and Dixie national forests, in Colorado,
and the Tusayan and Coconimo for
ests, in Arizona, have been killed by
the department of agriculture since
its campaign of destruction was de-
clared on the rodents.
In a statement issued here the de-
partment says that this work was done
at a cost Of about twelve thousand
dollars which is mere trifie when
compared with the value OF the
forage upon which the dogs lived.
1t is estimated that the forage
which the rodents devoured would
have been sufficient for about
fifteen thousand five hundred sheep OF
about one thousand five hundred head
Of cattle, valued at $4,000.
Carbon bisulphide and strychnine
mixed with heavy oats. Is the depart
ment's means Of getting rid OF the
dogs In the Cochetopa forest alone
last year the survey used $4,000 pounds
of oats. 1000 pounds Of carbon bi
sulphide and about one thousand eight
hundred ounces of strychnine.
The hides of the prairie dogs art
practically worthless in this country
according to the department Ameri
can and English furriers secure better
skins from Siberia for five cents
apiece. and glove makers say that TIT
skins are too small to be worked vi
economically. AS a result. the depart
ment says, no market for the skins hai
been found.

President of China Knows Views

Oriental Executive Succeeds Because

His Ability to Wait 10 a

Picking, China-One frequently hears
the question asked: What Is the
secret of President Yuan Shih-kai's
power?" Admirers and critics alike
ponder over his success and say:
How does he do It? How does he
get away with it," Some say that
his power depends mainly on the sup
port he receives from the army. While
it is, undoubtedly, true that Yuan's
ability to control the army has been q
great factor In the shaping of his ca
reer a closer study of his methods
will show that 1t is not the principal
factor.
Another secret of Yuan's success is
his ability to wait. For two years

foremost figure In central China. He
was the only man who could possibly
become a rival of Yuan Shih-kai. He
was the idol Of young China and the
hero of the revolution against the
Manchus. Yuan was repeatedly urged
by his advisers to invite Ii Yuen
Hung to take up his residence in Pc
king. Until recently. however, Ii Yuen
lungs presence in Wuchang was in
dispensable to the peace Of the
Yangtze valley. Revolutionists were
continually plotting and LIS departure
would have been the signal for an up
rising. 1t was also feared that there
would be an uprising in spite Of all
that the vice-president could do and
that he himself might be forced to
join the movement. 1t was a very deli
cate situation.
Before Yuan could move Ii to Pc
king 1t was necessary for the central
government to get complete control
over the Yangtze valley. In pursuance
of this policy President Yuan dis.
patched northern troops to the
Yangtze provinces last summer. The
result was a rebellion headed by Sun

ers have gained the impression
that the service Is antagonistic to
existing sales agencies, middlemen
and retailers. In consequence, many
dealers are writing to the department
OF agriculture Directing seriously to
any such activity. Their protests are
based on a complete misunderstanding
of the work being done by this serv-
ice. The description Of the Pennsyl-
vania farmers agency was sent out
with the one purpose Of gaining criti-
.cisms of this plan which would fur
nish data leading to more complete
understanding Of the problems Of ru-
raj organizations.
In answer to many Of the letters,
the acting secretary Of agriculture has
written:
THE rural organization service has
had a great many inquiries from farm
ers' organizations as to how to pur.
chase comparatively. The service has
not undertaken to give general and
detailed information on that subject
However, a circular describing the
