the Chinese of all classes not to for

SHANGHI, Sept. 2-Li Quen Heng,
the vice-president of the Chinese re-
public resigned today. The resigna-
ton is expected to be followed by the
withdrawal of other prominent Chin
csc from the present government, and
foreshadows grave events to occur in
the near future. The revolutionary
party in China, who are advocating
the return to a monarchial form of
government, are becoming extremely
active, and the loss of prestige suf-
fered by Yuan Shi Kai and his fol-
lowers when the demands of Japan
were forced upon the country, has
greatly increased the followers of the
revolutionary party. Wise observers
throughout the country are cautiously
expressing the opinion that it will not
be long now before China becomes a
monarchy and has an emperor on the
throne

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Sept 2-Ac-
cused by alleged accomplices, three
negroes were arrested today and held
for the murder of DR.. c. Franklin
Moher, a wealthy physician of this
city. The theory of the police is that
Elizabeth Tiffany Blair Moher, the
wife of the doctor, hired the negroes
to commit the crime, and the lady was
taken into custody shortly after the
negroes were incarcerated. All par
ties have been held without bail, and
the police claim to have a strong case
against them. The doctor was shot
while automobiling with his female
office assistant, and the motive of his
wife was probably jealousy. The po-
lice claim to have conclusive evidence
that Mrs. Moher promised the negroes
money if they would shoot her hus-
band. The case has created sensa-
ton here as DR.. and Mrs. Moher were
both prominent in the society life
of this city.
BROWNSVILLE, Sept. 2-Detach-
ments of cavalry and infantry of the
U. S. army are seeking to surround
the band of Mexicans who ignited the
railroad trestle about fourteen miles
north of here. The Mexicans were a
large band, and a bunch of about
thirty of them have been located half
way between this city and the rail.
road trestle and the troops are closing
in on them from all directions. Their
capture seems assured, as a large
number of soldiers are in the hunt.
WASHINGTON, Sept s-President
Wilson has abandoned all his plans for
returning to his summer home at Cor
nish, N. H., for one more visit this
summer. The president finds that the
flood of official business due to the
important events of the last few days,
will necessitate his remaining on the
job at the White House. Europe and
Mexico are receiving the undivided at
tention of the cabinet, and in a short
time it will be Necessary to prepare
for the coming session of Congress.
SHEFFIELD, England, Sept. 3
Henry Steel, head of the great Eng
fish steel firm of Steel, Peech and
Tozer, who has just died at his home
here, was perhaps best known outside
trade circles as the man who laid King
Edward, then Prince of Wales, $1,000

som races. The Prince last and paid
