Fire On Third Avenue

Fire In a vacant office over the Richardson Engraving company on Third avenue between Twentieth and Twenty first streets, was discovered shortly after 12 o'clock this morning by Officer G. C.. Williams. The off cer gave the alarm in over the tele- phone, and fire stations 1, 4, 6, 7 and Il made quick responses to the call and had the fire under control in few minutes. It was hard problem for the firemen to locate the blaze at first
 The fire damage amounted to about $50, but it is estimaed that the water damage to the Richardson Engraving company and the Monarch pool room and adjacent property will amount to between $500 and S2000. The alertness of Officer Williams and the promptness of the fire department probably avert ed disastrous fire, as a very high wind was blowing at the time

INDEFINITELY POSTPONED

Yuan had expected to proclaim the monarchy and ascend the throne before the beginning of the year. When the time came, however, it was announced that the proclamation had been postponed in- definitely and unofficially it was stated that there would be no change in the government until the war was over. It was understood that the prospect of hav- ing China barred from the peace me- gotiations, in which the final disposi- tion of Kiauchau will be determined. was an important factor in influencing the postponement
 Since Yuan dissolved the assembly he virtually has been exercising the powers of a monarch, but in it's relations with the outside world China has not ceased to be republic. The legation here still is accredited from the republic of China and the minister, Dr. Koo. acts in the name of the republic and the President.
 The United States government has play ed no part in the diplomatic exchanges at Picking regarding the proposed change. Great Britain, Japan and Russia sought American cooperation in their opposi- tion. but the Washington administration declined to express either approval or disapproval of Yuans plans. The state department took the position that the United States with propriety could not interfere in the internal affairs of sov- ereign state. The fact that the Ameri- can government so cordially welcomed China into the worlds family of republics had been relied upon by the European powers to influence it to interest itself in the new situation.
 REVOLT IS OVER
 San Francisco, March 22.-Offfcials of the Chinese republic association, which has been financing the revolution against Yuan Shi Kai said here today that the announcement from Peking means that the revolution is at an end. The associa- tion has membership in the Americas of about 300.000

the European war. Press dispatches an- poupcing the abandonment of the pro- Tosed monarchy occasioned no great sur prise, although there had been no re- port of the action either to the state department or to the Chinese legation and recent official dispatches had not in- dicated that the step was imminent. The province of Yunnan, rebelling against the overthrow of the republic for months has been maintaining it's independence of the central government and reports of dis content and revolt have come thick and fast from the southern districts. In addi- tion to this state of affairs at home Yuan has faced powerful opposition to his plans from the outside. Great Britain, Japan and Russia have exerted pressure to prevent any governmental change at this time
