PEKING. China, August before
leaving Marking. the acting president
made a statement in which he said he
would endeavor to persuade LII Yuan
Hung to retain the presidency. but in
the event of a refusal he would be COM
PEELED to accept the acting presidency.
Regarding the declaration of war he
admitted that he had been opposed to
taking such action. but since the ad-
vantage of that procedure had been
pointed out to him he now fayors 1t.
He was opposed to China joining the
allies and America, being of the opinion
that this would bind the country's
hands and prevent it from taking in
dependent action. He was of the opinion
that the southern movement would fiZ-
zle out because half of the southern
provinces and the greater part of the
navy were supporting the government.
Premier Tuan Chi-Jui said today that
he was DESTROYS of securing a repre-
sentative legislature. He favored call
ing council of provincial repre-
sentatives to act during the interregnum
and draw up new election laws so that
new parliament might be elected at
the earliest opportunity. He favored
declaring war against Germany as soon
as possible.

KETCHIKAN WINS BATTLE
 WITH RUPERT

WASHINGTON. - Special J. That Ketchikan has won it's fight against Prince Rupert as a fish center is now matter of certainty, Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador, to the United States, having advised Ottawa to make it necessary for the Grand Trunk railroad to discontinue it's exclusive concession to the Prince Rupert fish houses which, it is claim ed, are running the Ketchikan fish iu- duStry. More than that, it may be said that an agreement has now prob ably been made for the Grand Trunk to operate steamship from Prince Rupert to Ketchikan to take care of the American catch.
 The advice to Ottawa was sent by the ambassador after he had confer ence with Secretary Redtield of the department of commerce about the pending congressional legislation pro- hibiting the importation of fish from Canada, fresh or frozen, except under certain restrictions, and rehabiitating the American salmon industry on the Pacific coast. Canada desires to avoid this prohibitory legislation and has expressed it's willingness through the British ambassador to make conces- sionS, so that the matter will end as indicated here.
