At this conference clphtoen delesntes appointed by tho governors of the provinces or by the provincial assemblies will act. In behalf of China, proper. The revolutionary leadcra here laugh at tho apparent struggle of Yuan Shi Kal, the imperial premier, to temporize with the situation which, they declare, has completely passed out of his control. Reports that American bankora represented at Pckln are willing" to lend money to the Imperialists nro regarded hero with serious apprehension. If the southern revolutionists were once convinced that Americana were supporting the Imperialists, cither financially or diplomatically, the remit, they say, would be disastrous to American trade and Influence and endanger all Americans residing in tho interior.

Dr. Sun Yat Sen has made preparations to organise his cabinet. It Is believed the first ministry will he strong and may include some of Yuan Shi Knl's delegates, who accompanied Tang Shao VI, the premier's representative, at the peace congress. Yuan Disgusted. PARIS, Dec.

28. A Pekin dispatch to the Paris edition of the New York Herald Bays: Disgusted at the refusal of the imperial clan to contribute to the war chest, Yuan Shi Kal tonight, look sick leave. It Ik believed that this presages his early retirement from the premiership. He bitterly resents the bad faith of Wu Ting Kang and his party In proposing a national congresa and now Insisting upon a not a representative congress. Yuan fears that a republic means the country's dissolution and believes the only sane solution Is to fight It out.

but he Is handicapped by lack of money. Conference Closed. SHANGHAI. Dec. 23 Dr.

Sun Yat Sen's election as president or (he republic by the Nanking conference today means that the peace conference between Wu Ting Fang: and Tang Sho Yi Is closed. The president will" assume charge of all negotiations. The continuance of these negotiations with Yuan Shi Kal as tho representative of the retiring Manchu royalty will depond entirely upon the Immediate withdrawal of all Imperial troops from all points of contact with the revolutionists. Under these conditions the armistice will be extended ten davs, in order to give President Sun time to Issue the terms under which tho Mnnchus must lay down their arms and to decide upon pensions and other preliminary details. The president or head or the military government now established, with the capital at Nanking, will treat the court as a thing of the past, because eighteen provinces In a properly constituted convention have already voted In favor of a republic, and the edict recently issued at Pelcln says If the representative convention favors a republic the throne will abdicate.

PREMIER OFFERS HIS RESIGNATION PEKIN. Dec. 2S. Premier Yuan Shi Kal offered his resignation today, but the offer was refused. The incident occurred at a meeting In the palace to discuss a settlement of the revolution The dowager empress, the premier and the princes of tho Imperial clnn were present and the debate waxed so warm that finally Yuan Shi Kal offered to resign.

Premier Yuan explained lo the princes that he could continue the government and retain the country north of the Yangtse river only by having funds placed at- his disposal. He asked the princes to empower him to obtain money. He explained that 510.000.000 would meet tho payments for the soldiers for five months, after which the south would become disunited and province after province would return to their allegiance. Hut the princes were unmoved. They pleaded lack of money, although most of them are wealthy.

None hns given any substantial amount to aid the government, with tho exception of Prince Chins, who has handed over more thnn $100,000. The dowager-empress wept and Yuan Shi Kal showed signs of distress. Then he declared he could not desert her and the ehlld-cmpcror and agreed to continue. It Is said tonight that Yuan Shi Kai Intends to make another attempt to obtain a. loan of $10,000,000 from the four-nation group, of which three of the countries signified their willingness to furnish a loan three weeks ago.

England, however, declined to participate. The premier says he will not use tho money for a campaign of aggression, but will Icavo the republican provinces to consummate their own destruction, only defending the north bank of tho Yangtse river. He insists that the rebels have small resources and that their troops already nro engaged In plundering. Yuan Shi appearance has changed greatly pine his arrival in Pokhi. Tie hn aged materially and shows the effects of the rontlnucd hlraln.

All DruggisU WJ PRELUM TO PEJOAWET Refusal of Roosevelt lo Attend May Be Responsible for Change in Programme. STATEMEtNT GIVEN OUT Secretary Bloomer Gets Excited and Will Make Public the Colonel's Letter. NTCW YOniC.

Dec. 2S. To what extent. If any, the change In the original purpose of tho Cltzeiis' peace banquet to be held Saturday night, with President Taft as jnicst of honor, wns Influenced by the refusal of Col. Theodore Roosevelt to accept an Invitation, may be cleared up on tho day of the dinner, was Intimated today by Mill ward .1.

Bloomer, tho executive committee's sec-retaiy. when he announced that the correspondence between himself and Roosevelt would be made public on that date. Alter a. meeting- of the executive committee tonight an official statement was given out, in which It was said that President. Taft had been made the truest of honor because the committee "heartily approved his attitude on the proposition of universal peacet Including all the steps ho has so far taken." "Whether the last phrase of this sentence ludlcnlcd that tho committee thereby specifically voiced Its support of ihe pending- arbitration treaties which Colonel Roosevelt has objected to was not disclosed.

Jn regard to extending the Invitation to Colonel Roosevelt, the statement says: "The committee at that time fully appreciated ihe altitude which Mr. Roosevelt has taken on the pending peace treaties. Nevertheless, It felt pleased to extend an invitation, feeling" at least that he Is- In accord with the general sentiment that will prevail on that occasion. It only needs to be elated that a. gentleman at work In the rooms of the committee had, without authority, previously written to Mr.

Roosevelt on the subject and that the came member failed to transmit the official Invitation which later va? ordered." It also was said that thore was not the slightest friction among tho members of the committee, but as tho statement was being given out to a number of newspaper reporters, Mr. Bloomer appeared and almost shouted: "If that statement which was passed when I was out of the meeting room Is at variance with the truth. will strongly deny It. 1 don't know what will say, as I was not given the right to vote." Bloomer was then shown the statement, and after reading it said: "In answer to this resolution, I will make public on Saturdny. the day of the dinner, the letters between JIv.

Roosevelt, and ni) self and lhey will make-somcbocly sit up and take notice." REYES IN MILITARY PII50N CAPITAL MEXICO CITY, Dec. 11. General Bernardo Reyes arrived here tonight. The car on which he traveled was dropped In the freight yards and the prisoner was conducted by an unfrequented route to the San Diego military prison. There was no demonstration.

Generals Maria Mici', Jose Maria dc Ja Vega and Lauro Yillar today officially were announced as three of the members of the court-martial to try Reyes. To make these ofllccrs eligible, they were raised by the minister of war from brigadiers to generals of division. In addition. General Francisco Avclez wns designated ns agent of the mlnlstcrio publico to sit with the others. General Mlcr formerly was governor of Nuevo Leon, over which Reyes presided until ousted by the Madero revolution.

General Vega was chief of marine affairs in the deportment of war and marine, and later military commander In Qulntana Roo. Chihuahua, Monterey and Nuevo I.con. General Villar Is military commandant at Vera Cruz.

Revision of tho iron and steel schedule will be the first thing on the tariff legislative programme of the house after congress convenes next week. Representative Underwood, chairman of the ways and means committee, made It known on IiIh return today that the commit too would postpone consideration of the wool schedule until even' feature of tho tariff board's report on 111. rin.ll.J In the meantime, it will press Ita work on other tariff measures, with a view to adjournment In time for tho national conventions. After the Introduction and consideration of the ste.cl schedule the Democratic leaders contemplato presenting to tho house a revised chemical schedule and a sugar tariff bill. It also In possible that a cotton schedule will be nubmlt-tcd with the wool bill, dependent, of course, upon the report of Ihe tariff board.

This is expected late next month. If cotton is not Included In the wool bill. It will be submitted as soon afterward as possible. Determination of the house Democratic leaders to delay the wool bill is calculated to have an effect upon the purpose of the Republican members of the ways and menus commlttoc, who are drafting a wool schedule based upon the tariff board's report. They are hastening, with the co-operation of the White house, to complete this bill and to urgo It upon the floor of the house.

If the Democratic bill Is noi submitted soon after the holidays. It Is probable the Republican bill will be withheld. PRESSURE BROUGHT TO BEAR UPON TAFT "WASHINGTON. Dec. American pulp and print paper manufacturers are bringing pressure to bear upon President Taft to induce him to refuse lo yield to the demand of Kuropcan governments for the free admission of their pulp and print paper on terms of equality with the Canadian product.

The disposition of the president has been to let this matter be determined by the courts, but as this Involves long delay, the diplomatic protestants are by no means satisfied and are adopting measures to show their resentment. Count von BernstorfT. the German embassador, has Informed the state department that Germany would not accord to American exporters the reduced duties on tool steel and hard rubber accorded to Swedish and Japanese exporters, under their special treaties, because America, did not admit German wood pulp and print paper free of duty. The embassador was reminded that the German exnortcrs would not suffer by the delay if their claim was just, because they had paid the duties Into the American treasury under protest, which gave them the right to recover in rase the court of customs appeals should decide In their favor, as Is expected. It was thought at first that this explanation was sufficient, but It now appears the embassador statement Is virtually a new protest against the failure of the administration lo adjust the matter diplomatically instead of judicially.

In view of the peculiar conditions under which Canadian pulp and paper got. on tho free list, in spite of the falluro of tho reciprocity measure, some consideration Is being given to the propriety of leaving to congress the adjustment of the difficulties that have arisen PERSIANS NOW FEAR iraijsi TEH EUAN.

"WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S. President Taft probably will decide next Tncsdny upon tho man to juccccd tho lato Harlan on the supreme court bench. The field of possible appointees has been narrowed to four men, and tonight it was iaid that a selection may be looked for at the next meeting of the cabinet, January 2.

The nomination probably will be sent to the sennte next week. The four from whom the president will make his selection were said to be United States Circuit Hook of Kansas, Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel, Senator Sutherland of Utah and Frank R. Kellogg of Minnesota, trust-bustcr for the government and its proso-cutor in the Standard Oil suit. Senator Borah of Idaho, It was said, has not been entirely uiuiuiiiiicu num but the choice rests apparently between the others. Of these men.

Hook and Senator Sutherland stand foremost, although both Secretary Nagcl and Mr. Kellogg are "still In tho running." Judge Hook was under consideration by the president last year when he made supreme court appointments and his backers have been active this winter. Senator Sutherland Is warmly admired by the president and has been summoned to tho White house frequently of late. One fact said to militate against Secretary Nagcl Is that he is fill years old and Mr. Taft has declared several times that no man should go on the bench after he reaches the age of sixty.

Mr Kcllogg's candidacy has been vigorously pushed by Ills friends and his work In the Standard Oil and other cases has attracted favorable attention at the While house- As at present constituted tho Third Fourth and Seventh circuits nro unrepresented on the supreme court and the Fifth and Sixth circuits each have Iwo.
