Official COlOrS.
CAPS AND RUFFS
BADGES OF WORKERS
Men, Too, Added Their Protests
Against Ochre Shaded Gowns
for Dancers.

The great suffrage strike against yell
low crepe paper was settled amicably
yesterday. Mrs. John Blair, chairman
of the committee in charge OF the suf-
fragc carnival ball on March Z. at
Madison Square Garden. issued state
ment saying that the demands OF tho
strikers would be granted and that no
girl need wear the official carnival cos
tune Of yellow crepe paper unless she
wished. All the week the committee
has been receiving letters and verbal
protests from fair votes for women
oncsteppers.

way into The throng about Mrs. Blair

walled.
The climax came on Friday, however.
when a six foot Adonis vcntured into
tho suffrage headquarters at 6G3 Fifth
Avenue. Determination was written on
his fair face.
Il pride myself on being a good suf-
fragist, he said, "and | am prepared
TO go the limit at your ball, but, say.
honest, ! don't have TO wear that yellow
nightie, do >"
The suffragists cast appraising
elances az his blond beauty.
"If such as these arc worried" they
murmurcd. at isn't safe 20 say any
thing more about those yellow domi-
nos"
The yellow nighties, which a dozen
ardent women have been cutting and
sewing for ten days, will be stored
away for the next parade, and the fear
OF them, from this moment. never more
shall worry the suffrage debutante and
Adonis.
Every suffrsgist officially connected
with the committee will wear yellow
caps and rufs, and they may be OBJ
tanned from the committee by all guests
who wish 10 wear them, but they are
not required. Come one, come all, in
your gladdcst rags, the suhragists viii
welcome YOU in diamonds or in sack
cloth, just so that you come and pay
your 90 cents. to fill the war chests.
That important matter being cleared
away, the next thing is 10 announce the
Sousa grand march. John Philip Sousa,
followed by the entire Hippodrome
band and ballet, will march across the
ballroom of Madison Square Garden
promptly AT 1880. The ballet will
wear the costumes OF the March OF the
States at the Hippodrome. This addi-

YUAN SCOTS
AT REBELLION
"Only a Skirmish," He
Says - Sure People
Want Monarchy.
DECLARES CHINA
WILL BE NEUTRAL
Drafting of New Constitution 10
Be Begun Soon-To Draw
On All Foreign Ideas.

Picking. Feb. ie-ln an interview
with the correspondent Of The Asso-
ciated Press AZ the palace to-day
President Yuan Shih-kai minimized
the importance of the rebellion now in
progress and expressed confidence IN
the ability Of the government TO sup
prcss the uprising when adequate
troops reach the upper Yang-tse-kiang
Vice-Admiral Tsai Ting-kan, coniden-
t;al secretary Of Yuan Shih-kai, oeted
as interpreter.
This is no campaign. but only a
skirmish. but il gives me so much work
that IL increases my appetite SAID the
President. He replied laughingly to a
remark regarding his physical eondi-
zion. refuting rumors Of his Ill health
Discussing his embarrassment, he said:
Although a date in February was
sanctioned. the enforcement could not
AXE place because Of the Hunnan re-
bellion. which neoesitatcd military
operations. Therefore it was decided,
with saddened hearts, 20 postpone IT,.
The President said the drafting OF
new constitution would be begun in
Few days. When it is finished the con-
stitution will 60 before d national con-
ven.ion for suggestions. He did not
Dredict the date Of PRONUNCIATION OF the
constitution Discussing its nature, he
said:
I'VE shall adopt from all countries
the provisions most suited TO emma
without leaning toward any foreign
constitution
Yuan Shih-kai had this TO say re-
Cardng probable recognition OF the
monarchy: -,
''I cannot tell what governments will
or will not delay. Each Will recognize
tho monarchy according TO circum'
stsnces.'
China TO Remain Neutral.
Regarding Chins's position as affected
D., the war. the President said:
China has made every effort TO
maintain strict neutrality. The Chl'
neso government is not aware that the
Entente Powers or the other belllger-
crts have made any substantial charges
s..-ainst us for not having done so.
China will endeavor 10 remain on
friendly terms with all the treaty
powers"
Yuan Shih-kai then reverted to the
instruction.
"Yunnan and Kwei-chow have few
.roops and little ammunition" he said.
How soon the rebellion will be
crushed depends on the roads and the
rspid.ty Of communication. You must
remember that it was easy for the
rebels 20 make 4 short dash into SEE
chuen, whereas the government troops
must make a difficult trip TO reach the
rebels. Well supplied troops VIII speed
ily suppress the rebels on reaching the
scene.
"A few ambitious leaders. without
popular support, are engineering the
rebellion. The voting showed that the
public favors a monarchy
Cable advices received through an
exporting firm Of this city doing bust
ness in China are that the revolution
.gainst the Emperor has shown re
markable strength and is gaining great
headway. The immediate overthrow OF
Yuan Shih-kai is predicted

REFUSE To FALL FOR
REPUBLICAN TACTICS
Efforts to Capture Working
mans Vote RidiCuIed by
Local Employees.

The onward progress Of democracy
in Mishawaka continues TO embarass
the local republican leaders who
are AT their wits end to stop the tide
Of popular sentiment towards Pres't
Wilson. Never in the history of the
city has there been so marked en-
thusiasm among democrats than at
the present stage of the campaign.
That the republicans are plainly
worried is evident. They had count
ed on Garfield's address as likely TO
draw from the solid democratic
vote. but have already realized that
the results were nil As a final
kick they are arranging another
meeting for Thursday night in the
hopes that their scattered remnants
may be saved The big majority OF
progressives are not attending any
republican meetings; they are plain
ly disguised with he tactics OF their
erstwhile political friends, anG they
will vote for Wilsoa according to
one of their leaders who has been
a consistent follower OF the party
until he broke away to follow the
political fortunes Of Roosevelt.
Some OF the manufacturers would
like TO have their employees think
that in the event Of Wilson's return
TO power, they will starve to death
and they argue seriously that this
Is what is going to happen. How
ever. intelligence is an asset possess

a degree that enables him to think
