Rebellion in Southern China Is
Reason Assigned by the En-
peror-Elect.

PEKING, January 21.--The coronation
of Yuan Shi-kai as Emperor of China
has been postponed indefinitely. The
reason given officially is the uprising

The foreign office notified the various

ment would take place early in Febru-
ary, but that Yuan Shi-kai had issued
an order canceling the arrangements
in view of the disturbances in Yunnan
province. No intimation was given
when the enthronement will take place.
Government officials estimate that
not more than six months will be re-
auired to quiet the disturbances in the
south.

CONSIDERING TRANSFER
FROM D. C. COMMITTEE
Senator Kern Says Work as Senate
Party Leader Prevents Atten-
ton He Thinks Necessary.

Senator Kern of Indiana. chairman of
the democratic caucus of the Senate.
is seriously considering a change in
committee assignments which will
take him off the District committee of
the Senate and substitute some other
democratic senator who has more time
to give to the work of that committee.
Senator Kern believes that the Dis
trict committee will have much work
before it this session and that lengthy
hearings may be necessary.
His work as democratic leader of the
Senate would prevent him from giving
the attention to the work of the Dis
trict committee which. he believes. is
necessary. For that reason he is try
ing to arrange transfer.
Senator Kern Is chairman of the sub
committee on excise laws of the Dis
trict committee, which has before 1t
the nomination of Gen. r. G. Smith as
member of the excise board, and also
the various District prohibition bills
introduced in the Senate.

AVOIDANCE OF PARTIALITY.
President Invites Neutral Represent
atives to Both Diplomatic Dinners.

Diplomatic representatives in Wash

invited to both of the diplomatic din
ners to be given at the White House
this winter. The first, tonight, will be
attended by representatives of the en-
tente allies and the second, next Tues
day, by those of Germany and her al
lies.
The original plan was to have the
neutrals divided between the two din
ners. Because of the possibilities of
Misunderstanding. however, this idea
has been abandoned. and invitations for
both affairs have been sent to the neu-
trail diplomats. The ranking officer of
each embassy or legation with his wife
is invited, and there will be about
eighty guests at each dinner
The entente diplomats are invited to
the first dinner because Ambassador
Jusserand of France is the dean of the

BERLIN, January 81. by wireless to
Sayville. N. Y.-Another statement in
defense of Capt. Franz Won Papen. for
mer German military attache at Wash

"a wireless dispatch from England
says that the letters. checks and vouch-
ers which were taken from Capt. Won
Papen by the British at Falmouth. in
violation of international law, are to be
published.
'Tt is to be hoped that they will be
reproduced in facsimile, because it will
then be evident that Capt. Won Papef
never made a payment to Werner Horn
who is accused of having attempted to
blow up a Canadian railway bridge.
But in case the British publish any
thing of this kind it may be asserted in
Horn Case Singled Out.
"It is interesting to note that in the
British wireless reports the accusation
that Capt. Won Papen was connected
with many plots to blow up ammunition
works in the United States apparently
has been dropped. The case of Horn
Is singled out.
ut is solemnly stated in the British
wireless dispatches that the letters and
other documents taken from Capt. Won
Papen were seized because they were
personal belongings which were not
protected by the safe conduct guaran-
teed to him. II this is really the
British idea everybody in Germany will
regret that it was not known before,
for in that case the archives of the
British embassy might have been
seized after the beginning of the war.

light interesting information concern
