SIM ON THE JOB
PRINCES OF INNER MONGOLIA
RALLY TO SUPPORT OF THE
MANCHUS.
WILL NOT ABDICATE YET
Empress Dowager Prevailed Upon to
Adopt Reactionary Course—Yuan
Shi Kai May Be Re
placed.
JPelcin, Jan. 24.—Premier Yuan Shi
Kai's efforts to bring about the abdi
cation' of the throne have faded, and
the situation in China has entered a
new and perplexing phase. Prince
Ching, the ex-premier Prince Pu-Lun,
ex-president of the national assembly,
and Prince Tsai Sun, tyrother of -the
ex-regent, absented themselves from
the conference of princes of the im
perial- clan, which left the decision as
to abdication to the reactionaries who
have been strengthening their hand
steadily since, the premier permitted
the probability of abdicating to be
come known.
Curiously enough the princes of in
ner Mongolia, whom the Manchus con
sider inferior to themselves, rallied to
the aid of the .Manchus. At a previ
ous meeting one of the Mongols
strongly controverted Prince Ching's
argument that the imperial armies
were unable to oppose the rebels. Ap
parently preparations were complete
for a provisional government an ab
dication edict had even been drafted,
but the announcement that such a
course was .contemplated, which had
een allowed to become public with
the evident object of preparing the
Manchu troops asainst the shock, in
spired clansmen of all degrees to re
sist.
The empress dowager, being reluc
tant to abdicate, has accepted the ad
vice of the reactionary princes. The
matter of appointing Yin Tchang, the
ex-war minister, or Tieh-Liang, former
Tartar general at Nanking, to replace
Yuan Shi Kai, was discussed, but the
argument prevailed that the nineteen
nrticles of the constitution promulgat
ed by the national assembly last No

to list $6,000,000 worth of Chicago

Minneapolis, St. Paul ft Sault Ste.
Marie Terminal Railway company,
also $8,000,000 worth of additional
preferred and $12,000,000 worth of ad
ditional common stock of the Minne,
apolis & St. Louis company. The lat
ter application is in connection with
the acquisition of the Iowa Central.
The $6,000,00Q Chicago Terminal
first mortgage 4 per cent bonds were
issued by a subsidiary of the Soo line
organized to acquire property and con
struct terminals in the city of Chi
cago.
It is learned that about 70 per cent
of the land has been acquired, which
it is supposed was secured for ter
minal uses. The construction of ter
minal stations was begun six or eight
months ago and will probably take
several months more to complete.
It has been rumored that this work
was undertaken not only to accom
modate the Soo line in Chicago, but
with a view to going from that point
to fcfew York over the Erie. Canadian
Pacific and Soo line officials stilj
strenuously deny that Erie securities
are being bought for the account o|

STEEL CORPORATION NO TRUST
PRES. J^ J. FARRELL DECLARES
MONOPOLY IMPOSSIBILITY.
Says It Is Not Purpose of Company
"to Gobble World's Export ...
Trade."
Washington, Jan. 24 Emphatic de
nial that the United States Steel Coj_
poration is a monopoly as charged was
made to the Stanley investigating
committee of the house by President
J. J. Farrell. He declared that it was
not the purpose of the corporation "to
gobble the expert trade of the world
at any cost."
"A monopoly of the iron and steel
trade, in this country," said Mr. Far4
rell, "is neither possible nor desir
able. There iB no monopoly or any*
thing approaching it. Since the steel
corporation was organized there has
been much new capital attracted to
the industry and many furnaceB have
been built which are not controlled by,
the steel corporation.
"It is charged that the corporation

of the export market. That is. far
from the truth.
"The British steel industry must ex

in order to live. Germany must ex

cent. The product of the United
States is greater than England, Gen
many and Belgium combined, and thq
domestic consumption is so much
