Yuan Shi Kai took cognizance OF this
situation in announcing that he would
not be crowned for a year. In pro-
claiming his acceptance. 1t Is thought
he has created tho impression in the
minds Of most Chinese that he has
taken on regal authority. But the
actual grounds for Japan's interference.
II II plans to interfere, will not material
ize as a matter Of form for year. In
end. or may be so near finish that
Japan might fear, even II she con-
quered China. that all she had gained
would be taken away.
Whether the ruse will be successful,
no one can say. 1t Is feared japan will
find another means to bring about diff
ferences between herself and the new
empire. But all this was discussed be-
fore Yaun Shi Kai was chosen. and the
Chinese have decided TO take their
chances.
Yuan's first refusal Of the crown. 1t
has been understood, was only for
mality in keeping with Chinese custom.
Assurances Were sought.
1t is believed here that both England
and the United States have been
sought by DIR. Wellington Koo. new
Chinese ambassador to the United
States. to say what they would do In
case Japan should interfere. For sew
eral months, it is said on good author.
ity. DR.. Koo has been sounding put
these two powers. That the state coon
Gil should decide on the move indicates
surances that these two powers will not
tolerate Japanese interference.
Yuan accepted the throne after the
state council had asked him. by 1,se
votes out of 2.043. A month ago the gen
eral election indicated that the country
favored such action.

II has been estimated that 5000
ships have been lost to commerce IN
this war; counting only the German
and Austrian and Russian ships "hlch
are tied up in harbors. To this mum
Der must be added the hundreds
which have been sunk by enemy ships.
1t is easy to see how this shortage
aEgravates the railroad congestion In
the Eastern ports. Each month mo
shipping rates to foreign ports IN
crease, and there seems to be no I'm =
mediate end of rise in sight. Accord ].
ing to compilation by the Wall street
journal, the advance In rates on grain
to Liverpool has been 500 per cent
since last July. An average advance
on seven staples Is quoted at 6O2 per
cent.
January dividend payments prom
ise to be larger than usual as re-
suit of trade revival at home and the
effect OF war profits. A year ago the
January dividend and interest pay
ments recorded amounted to about
s240 900, 900. or sl5.0Oo.o0o below the
previous year. This loss will be more
than made good next January. foi
the reason that many dividends viii
be restored to their former level new
dividends will be started, some havt
been resumed which had entirely
stopped, other regular dividends vii
be Increased or extra ones paid while
not a few cumulative dividends TEN
porarily passed will be paid off. 1t /!
safe to say the January disburse
ments will be more satisfactory thar
any since the depression, which i:
now rapidly disappearing, began.

GraVeSt Fears of
Trouble With Japan
Are Agitating China

PEKING, Dec. 12.-President Yuan
Shi Kai's coronation as Emperor OF
China will be postponed possibly a year.
and in the meantime he will continue
as President of the republic, with virtua
imperial powers.
With the announcement that Yuan
Shi Kai had accepted the offer OF the
crown by the council Of state came the
gravest fears of trouble with Japan.
II is feared that while the powers which
might check Japan's ambitions are en-
gagged in a great war the Tokyo gov
ernment will begin an aggressive cam.
paign to dominate China.
The fact that the Mikados govern
ment protested n month ago the sug-
sestion that China be changed from a
republic to a monarchy is looked upon
as an indicat alton that she will interfere.
Many statesmen believe Japan well
knew at that time an empire was in
evitable. and made its protest with the
idea of having an excuse for sub
sequent interference with Chinese af-
fairs

or will be spared to improve and cx-

fullest extent practicable.
notwithstanding disarrangcments In
the trans-Atlantic steamship schedules
caused by the war, frequent mail serv-
ice to each of the various European
countries was maintained throughout
the year. The malls for belligerent
were so routed as not to re-
quire transit through any country with

Short Paid Postage Evil.

Special attention is being given to
the short-paid postage evil. Nothing is
more disadvantageous to those conduct
Ing business correspondence with per-
sons abroad than having those persons
subjected to heavy postage charges
when the correspondence is delivered to
them. In these circumstances It was
deemed advisable to take every I.ossible
step to insure the full prepayment Of
foreign postage; hence orders were is
sued to postmasters requiring them
whenever practicable to notify the send
ing of short-paid letters and give them
an opportunity of fully preparing the
postage.
AT present the United States ex-
changes postal money orders with Brit
ish Honduras, Costa Rica, Honduras,
and Salvador In Central America, and
Bolivia, British Guiana, Chile, Peru, and
Uruguay In South America, and nego-
tiations are being continued with Pan
american countries with which money
order business is not now transacted

The International Seamen's union
has been "bitten by its own dog.
President Furuseth of the union, who
was one of the leading advocates of
the new seamen's law, has sent to the
department of commerce many pro-
tests against the provisions OF the
law, chief of which lie against the
physical test. Many seamen who
have been In the service for years
have found themselves unable to pass
the physical examination, particu-
larry the eye test, and will be barred
from employment upon vessels to
which the law applies. The law was
passed for the protection OF the sea-
men, and they will have to abide by
it, Is the stand taken by the govern
ment.
