Project of President Yuan shi Kai
ProcIaimipg Himself Emperor is Be-
ing Discussed.

Peking, Crfna, Aug 16.-The project
of proclaiming himself emperor is be-
ing discussed by Yuan Shi Kai, pres
ident of the Chinese republic, with his
immediate supporters and Professor
Frank Johnson Goodrow of Johns
Hopkins university, legal advisor to
the Chinese government, who is
spending the summer in Peking.
Professor Goodnow, who secured the
confidence of Yuan Shi Rai by advice
given during former critical times, has
been consulted on the subject since his
arrival here a month ago and it is
learned that he, approves the project.
The news became public by the de-
liberate publication in this mornings
newspapers of accounts of the forma-
ton by several prominent men of an
association for the purpose OF discus
sing whether monarchy is not the
better form of government for China.

formation of the society quotes Pro-
fessor Goodnow as declaring that for
China a monarchy is a better form Of
government than a republic and that
conditions are different in China and
America and it is impossible to trans
plant a system from one country to
another.

Shi Kais immeriate supporters that it
the project proves feasible, the plan
10 to establish the monarchy within

is meant by judicial poise?' said Mr..
Taft. Merely that an investigator is
trying to find the truth The state

The result is that no one will pay
