LEONARD WOOD IS
To.
TEDDY F0R PREXY.

CHICAGO, June 6.-Republican poll
itical leaders here today are trying to
determine whether Hughes has been
strengthened or weakened by the tenn
porary concentration of forces upon
him with the avowed purpose of elm
mating Roosevelt The effect of the
maneuver may be to place the field
against Hughes when the final ballot
ing test comes.
Republican and progressive leaders
resumed their conferences again this
morning in an effort to bring about
harmony between the discordant ele-
ments. George w. Perkins, foremost
of the progressive leaders, except
Roosevelt himself, in a statement be-
fore noon today, declared that Roose-
welt had not said he would not support
Hughes or any other nominee Of the
republican convention.
--latest developments being consid-
cred at today's conferences were
Hughes speech in Washington yester-
day; the discussion Of Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts,, as a
compromise candidate.
Hughes supporters now claim his
v ashington speech touching on Amer
icanism makes clear his position
on the only position on which he had
ret previously declared himself. His
opponents, however, called it "list of
p,atitudes,' many saying the speech
vas filled with careful sayings Of the
practical politicians, and on the out
side the opinion is almost unanimous
in holding the speech is altogether
without significance.
What the progressives convention
will do today overshadowed the repub
liean maneuvering this afternoon, n
tremendous Roosevelt demonstration
being expected to materialize. Despite
all efforts to delay progressive nomi-
nations leaders of the party decided
today that Roosevelt should be nom
irated as soon as possible, and moth
ing but a request from Col. Roose-
welt himself, is to be allowed to in
terfere with there plans. Progressive
Headquarters at the Congress hotel
here were formally opened today.

Chinese statesman, died at his home

owing to its possible effect upon the
| opulation.
Yuan Sha-wia was one OF the most
remarkable figures developed by the
Chinese nation since the Tartar voka
was thrown off. He was born of the
middle class, but from his youth as
pirei to he mandarin. Finishing hig
education at the foremost Of Chinese
universities, Yuan Sha-kai. received
his first political appointment as a mi
nor official in Korea, then a depen-
dency of China. He remained there
until the Chino-Japanese war resulted
in Korea being wrested from control
OF the Peking government.
He then returned to Pekin, and was
insistent on his demand for a are-or-
ganization Of the Chinese army and for
the preservation of the integrity Of the
nation. At the beginning Of the Boxer
Rebellion Yuan Sha-kai opposed the
movement, going so far as to side ac-
lively with the despised foreign
devils" Later he was of material as
sistance to the allies in restoring or
der in China, and by his wisdom and
sagacity did much to dispel tie fanat-
ieal ideas which caused the upris-
ing.
For his services in this connection,
Yuan Sha-kai was raised to an exalted
position by the Chinese emperor, but
later was forced to resign, and for a
number of years lived in seclusion ana
political retirement. His interest in
politics never subsidized, however, and
With the beginning Of the republican
he sprang again into prom
lnence. His opinions clashed with
those of DR.. Sun-Yat Sen, with the re-
suit that DR.. Sun is now an exile in
Japan.
About year ago, Notwithstanding
protests lodged at Peking by Japan,
England, France, Russia and tho
United States, Yuan Sha-kai formally
proclaimed himself emperor of China.
Elaborate preparations were made for
his coronation, but he was destined
never to be thus honored, and after
brief reign as self-constituted en-
beror, Yuan Sha-kai yielded to the
pressure of internal disturbances and
protests, again proclaim

American citizens in districts in which
martial law was proclaimed and in
which armed conflicts occurred: and
whereas the relatives and friends in

Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Secretary of State
be and is hereby requested to cause in

well being of American citizens in Ire
land and what steps if any may be
necessary and proper consistently with
the recognized law of nations for the
safeguarding and protection OF their
