EXCITEMENT PROBABLE OVER IN CHINA.
' Tien Tsin, Aug. 19. San Yat
Sen, first provisional president of
the Republic of China, is on his
wa yto Pekin to charge Yuan Shi
Kai, his successor, with murder,
and all China is in turmoil.
Sun left Shanghai early this
morning. Before doing so he left
instructions for the mobilization
of the Republican troops of the
South. ,
If this order is carried out, 200,-
000 veterans of the revolution will ,
be under arms in Southern China
within a week.
And if anything happens to
Sun while he is visiting Yuan
Shi Kai to demand that gentle
man's impeachment, those 200,
000 veterans will cut loose.
Something is mighty liable to
happen to Sun in Pekin. It is ex
pected that the first thing Sun
will do there will be to ask the
advisory council to' impeach
tYuan.
Sun controls the advisory
council, and if Sun asks them to
impeach Yuan, they'll do it.
Then Yuan is liable to get busy,
Yuan having peculiar methods of
getting busy and of disposing of
his enemies.
Sun wants Yuan impeached be
cause Yuan had about half a
dozen Republican generals be
headed last week.
The generals seemingly annoy
ed. Yuan. He invited them to
Pekin to talk politics. He gave
them a big feast when they ar
rived, and after the fearst he had.
his soldiers separate them from
their heads.
Nobody believes for a moment
that Yuan will dare to have Sun
executed in the same way. But
Yuan has lots of other funny lit
tle tricks.
One of his .favorites is to tip
off his troops that they can have
a mutiny. The troops mutiny,
looting) burning and pillaging,
and incidentally murdering per
sons Yuan doesn't like.
Then Yuan captures the mu
tineers, makes an example of a
few of the least important of them
and explains how sorry he is that
he can't control his troops.
This would be a quick, safe,
easy-working way of getting rid
of Sun, of whom Yuan-is becom
ing afraid.
