Toyokichi Iyenaga, who probably is
closer to the Toxic government IMAM

Germans for the change, and SAID mat
the people Of Japan viewed IL with
gravest apprehension.
"In their hearts the governments OF
Japan, Russia, England and Italy I'M

are most strongly opposed to any
change at this time" he said.

A prominent authority on Chinese
questions, who has had extensive bust

much time there. told a Tribune re-

Hence he thought it probable that with

Yuan Shih-kai has become in recent
years the most conspicuous personality
in the Orient through his efforts 70
weld his 100000 fellow Cinnamon
into a unified citizenship under the new
Republic Of China. 1t was task to
transform the most ancient and
backward of kingdoms, holding within
its borders a fifth of the worlds popu-
lstion, into a republic four times the
size Of the United States.
There were many sntagonistic inter-
ests 10 compose, and he did not escape
storms of criticism, being charged by
some with being Q dictator whose sole
purpose was not to set up democracy,
but to found new dynasty.
He was born in 1859, the son of dis
trict governor in the province of Honan.
His early aspirations for political posi-
ton were hampered by the rule that
official life was open only to those who
passed in ancient classics. Yuan utter
ly failed in one of these government
tests.
lie went into Corea as a secretary
with the army, and there he rose rapid
ly through his display Of more modern
sttainments along military and diplo-
matte lines. Ii Hung chang, the Grand
Chancellor, recognized him as man Of
action, and appointed him Chinese resi-
dent at Seoul, the highest post in the
empire, when he was only twenty-siX
years old. When the japanese drove
the Chinese out Of Corea he was one Of
the few to return to Peking, still in
favor at court.
He continued to rise, gaining great
prominence by his effective reorganiza-
ton of the army after the Japanese
war. He became involved in court pol
itics and was popularity accused Of be-
traying the Emperor Kusng Hsu and
assisting the Dowager Empress in af-
fecting the coup d'etat of 1898 by
which she seized the throne.

by Submarine.

London, Dec. 1.-THE crew Of the
Greek steamer L. G. Goulandris, whose
destruction by a German submarine
was reported on Thursday, had two ex-
periences on the same day with tor
pedoes. According TO an official report,
forwarded from Athens by Reuters
correspondent, the crew took to life
boats after the Goulandris, bound from
Alexandria to England, had been tor
pedoed 100 miles west of Alexandria.
The boats we're towed for some dis
lance by the submarine and then cast
adrift.
The men were picked up by an Eng
lish steamship, which. when within
twenty-five miles of Alexandria, was
torpedoed by the same submarine that
had sunk the Goulandris. The crews Of
both vessels escaped in small boats and
were picked up three miles from Alex
andria by another British steamship,
reaching port safely.
1t was announced to-day that the
British steamship Busiris, 2,720 tons
gross, had been sunk, and that her crew

Republic Association, the controlling
body of thousands of similar organiza-
tons in North and South America, an
nounced to-day that preliminary meas
ures 10 oppose the establishment Of

The Chinese Republic Association,
Tong King Chong said, has a total
membership of about 100000 in the
Americas and numbers millions in its
organization in China. He said that
the association had named as ira pro-

opposition party he would be made
provisional president if the party sue

hong said.

The United States points 20 the case
Of the British steamer Trent, which

BRITISH TAKE U.S..
SHIPS TO LONDON
Owners of Hooking Pro-
test Against Seizure of
Ship as Prize.

Washington, Dec. 1I.-Grest Britain
notified the State Department to-day,
through Ambassador Page. that il was
taking the steamers Hooking and Cen
esee, OF the American Transatlantic
Company, 10 London for prize court sd-
judicstion. The United States was
urged TO see that the company cooper
ated in expediting the trial by prompt
appointment of counsel and speedy
preparation of its case.
The decision TO transfer the cases
across the sea was believed BY officials
here TO explain the action of the prize
court at Halifax in turning the Hooking
over 20 agents of the crown. The
United States is not likely 20 object,
because only inferior prize courts exist
at Halifax and St Lucia, from which
taken 20 London. In these particular
cases, ii is pointed out, both govern
ments desire speedy and final settle
ment Of the issues involved.
The American Transatlantic Com

Hooking, received the following tele-
gram yesterday from Captain Fabre an
nouncing that the Hooking had been
requisitloned:
"Appraisement fled to-day for $685.
900 lsl75,00OJ and release obtained
from court. Ship will be taken to-day"
The company officials, on receipt {
the message, telegraphed Secretary
Lansing, quoting the telegram from
Captain Fabre, and adding this pro-
test:
1--WE protest against this action. No
charges have been filed and no evil
dence submitted giving cause for hold
ing of this ship for prize court. Evil
dent that under neither English nor
American law could prize court con-
slider this ship lawful prize; therefore,
proceedings to entail long drawn liti-
CATION constitute a gross injustice"

in ten years China would be republic
again.
Business men want a republic be-
cause they see in il better opportunity

but first Of all they want safety and
prosperity" ne commented. "Yuan's
change from permanent President 10
Emperor is merely perfunctory, for
Yuan is dictator anyway.
Yuan has doubled revenue from
taxes without increasing tax rates. He
has cut OF the heads OF grafters. And,
moreover, he is doing a thing close 70
the hearts of the Chinese in spending
seven-tenths OF the revenue for mill
tary preparedness"
Yuan's decision in favor of a mon
archy, according to this informant, has
been the result of comparing the eff
cheney OF German sutocracy with the
anarchy OF republican Mexico. This
action on the part of China would not
result in any interference on the part
Of Japan, he thought, provided Yuan
proves able 10 put down any attempted
revolutions, of which many are bound

Yuan Defied Tradition
and Gained a Throne
Old Dynasty Dismissed Him in Disgrace, Only to Cal
Him Back-Showed Boxers Magic OF
Foreign Devil Was Real

The Dowager appointed Yuan Gov
ernor of Shantung, where. during the
Boxer rebellion, he displayed his astute-
ness. He was invited 10 join the BOX
ers, and, although having no sympathy
with their fanaticism, he dared not re-
fuse frankly.
He temporized by agreeing 10 join
the movement If the leaders would
demonstrate their immunity, as they
claimed, TO bullets. He had, he told
them, a foreign gun in his house, and
if they would let him stand them up
against wall and shoot at them ne
would become a Boxer If the bullets
failed TO hurt them.
Faith in his immunity from the for
eign devils magic" inspired one Of the
leaders 20 submit TO the trial, ana ne
fell dead with rife bullet through his
heart. Freed from his obligation 10
ioin the movement, Yuan received great
credit for the material assistance ne
was able 10 give the allied forces Wag-
ing war in China.
When the Empress Dowager and the
Emperor Kuang Hsu died and the chlld
Emperor, Hsun Tung, came TO the
throne under the regency OF frihce
chm Yuan was dismissed in disgrace,
presumably because he had sucn con-
troll OF the army; nominally 70 cure
y sore leg" When the anti Manchu
rebellion broke out, in October. 1911, the
regency begged Yuan to return. lie
REPLIED that his sore leg was no. yet
well, but when he was given the Posi-
lion as supreme commander OF all the
forces of the north he accepted.
He also became the hrst premier OF
,ha "resnonsible cabinet" which the
regency offered the rebels as a conces-
sion for peace, hut neither Yuan nor
the rebels were satisfied. The aodica,-
ton Of the Manchus was forced, and,
at Yuan's dictation, the child emperor
authorized him to organize with the
rebel leaders a republican form OF gov
eminent. Sun Yan-sen, reoel froHlo
e;onoI President, was forced to retire
and Yuan was elected Provisional Pres
ident of the Chinese Republic, Febru-

German Prisoners at Kieff Report Out

Kieff, Russia, Dec. IA report
reached here to-day that Lemberg Is
being evacuated by the Austro- German
forces on account Of an outbreak OF
scurvy. Owing TO the spread of tie
disease the military authorities, ac-
cording to the report. decided on the
withdrawal to avoid panic among the
civilian inhabitants.
This report has reached Kief from
various sources, and appears TO be cor
roborated by Austrian and German
prisoners. 1t is said also by prisoners
that the approaches to Lemberg have
not been fortified, with the exception
of repairs which have been made to the
old trenches. On the other hand, the
Grodek Lakes and the line of the River
San are being fortified strongly, and
from Przemysl to the Vistuls a series
