The question of tangible security ap?
pear* to be almost wholly Insurmount?
able, but the negotiations continue.
Tho third division of the army, sta?
tioned at Chang-Shung-Fu, Is under or
dcrs to proceed to Lanchau, the govern?
ment evdently hoping that the prea
enco thero of a loyal division woulcj
have a salutary effect on Oeneral
Chang's men. The transference of this
division la now going on, and the atti?
tude of the men is eagerly awaited, as
It probably will turn the scales in
North China. Elswhere In tho North,
excepting In Pelting, tho soldiers gen?
erally aympathizo with tho Lanchau
movement.
General Wu-Lu-Cheng, Governor
elect of Shan-SI. has informed the gov?
ernment that ho cannot persuade the

is a revolutionist.
In Pitiable State.
Reports from tho Forbidden City
Show that the Manchu princes are In
a pitiable stato of fear and Indecision.
Tho Taotal periodically urges drastio
measures, which oertalnly would lead
to tho destruction or the nobles. The
presence of General Yln-Tehang, the
ex-War Minister, has a calming effect,
but only the wise counsels of the old
Prince Chlng have averted a panic and
prevented the Might of the court or
something worse.
Tlen-Tsln is quiet to-night, but 4,000
.Manchus are held in readiness for an
emergency. Another edict has been is?
sued instructing the Assembly to pro?
ceed with the election of a Parliament
and promising to reregnlze tho revolu
Uonal political party.
According to reports from Chung
Sha, six cities In Hunan Province have
revolted, and It Is expected that the
whole province will declare for the
republic. Word hna reached here that
tho rebels have taken Klatlng-Fu, in
Szcchuen Province, and have Issjued
passports to the missionaries. A for?
eign traveler, just returned from Slan
F\i, in Shen-SI Province, reports that
district In tho wildest disorder. For- j
nicr soldiers were looting everywhere,
and there was no trace of government
Troops. The rebels at Slan-Fu asserted
that all tho ofliclnls, from treasurer
to Taotal, had been killed, as well as
the Manchus?men, women and chil?
dren
According to Chinese reports, 50,000
persons have been killed at Hankow by
bullets, tiro and the sword.
The National Assembly held a private
meeting to-day to decide whether it
was advisable to dissolve the Assem- i
b'.y. in view of the want of confidence i
shown by the Lanchau iroops and tho
provincial assemblies. The president
pointed out that it would be Impossible,
for the Assembly to laV down Its bur- )
dent until Parliament wna ready to
take it up Finally tho members
agreed not to dissolve.

London, November 5.?Tho serious?
ness of the situation In China is evi?
denced by the appeal of Admiral Wins
low. British commander, to the Oer- '
man governor of Taing Tau for ac- j
tion. The admiral has advised the
governor by wireless that he has rec?
ommended to the Rntlsh government
that the time has arrived to send in
foreign troops. He suggests that each
power send 1,500 men to Shanghai at
once.
General Chang, commandant of tho
Twentieth Division, und head of tho
Army League, memorialized the throne
to-day, expressing complete satisfac?
tion with the constitutional grants and
pledging the loyalty of the northern |
army. Chang sent his own agents to
AVu Chang to negotiate with LI Yuen
Hung and his rebel associates. ,
It Is said that Yuan Shi Kal's hcsl
tancy to come to Peking is due to re?
ports re idling him that Princes Tsal
llsun and Tsal Tao, brothers of tho
late Emperor, and other members of
the Imperial clan, have vowed his I
death. j
Tl ? y hold Yuan wholly responsible
for the coup which has demolished the
Manchu power and sent that ancient,
dynasty tottering.
Prince Chlng, the senior imperial

tinker to Yuan, guaranteeing the full-,
est protection, and begging him to Im?
mediately accept the premiership to

A remarkable ?d'.ct. Just promul- j

"Neither can I agree with the con?

sion is sufficiently under our control

Ject dually to the advice and consent j
of tho Senate.
"While. I do not think that questions j
concerning tho Monroe Doctrine or any |
purely governmental policy, such as |
the exclusion or admission of aliens, |
arc embraced within the terms of j
article 1, still I should have no ob- i
Jection to putting the matter beyond
all doubt by including In the resoltt- I
tlon of ratification a clause declaring
that the Senate advises and consents
to the ratification with the under?
standing that such questions are not J
included within the meaning of the
treaty.
"With the general scope and purpose
of these urbltratlon treaties I am In
most hearty sympathy and accord.
They mark a long step forward In i
the direction of universal Interna- J
tioii.ii peace. The claim that the
treaties may Involve the submlssl-m .
to arbitration of questions Involving
the national honor does not appeal
very strongly to my mind, and yet I |
think I am us patriotic and us jealous i
of the national honor as any one. i
Wheiiovor the question is presented ,
in Its sharp, naked form to any cour?
ageous and patriotic man his first Im* I
pulse is always to demand that ven- i
geunco shall swiftly follow an affront, ,
or whnt he regards as an affront, to |
the national honor. This feeling is
nuttiral nnd manly, but after all j
?honor' Is a very flexible as well as !
a much abused term, a definition of '
which often depends upon the point
of view, and the meaning and appli?
cation of which Is broadened or nar- [
rowed by temperamental or ruclal dif?
ferences or by the Influences of the
moment.
History discloses many cases where
one nation in the first hout of resent- i
ment has regarded its honor as hav- !
Ing been assailed by the action of an
other nation, but has concluded after
a period of reflection that the national
honor was not Involved. These treaties
afford this period of reflection.
"It Im truu that there may occasion- I
ally come that extreme case when the !
affront to tho national honor will he
so grave that tho indignation of the
.people win sweep aside every artificial ;
restraint that stands In the way of an '
appeal to tho final and dreadful arbi- '
trament of war, but the tendency of
these treaties will be to render such
occasion less and less frequent. The
duello as a means of redressing prl- ?
vatc grievances Is no longer fashion- *
able among self-contained people. Some!
day we shall recognize the folly and j
wickedness of two nations engaging
In the mutual slaughter of their re. ;
spectlvo citizens as a means of redress- '
I lug public grievances. p. H. McG. j

SEEKS STRONG CONSERVATIVE
Will Be Presented as Candidate
to Prevent Election of Ex?
treme Progressive.
Washington, November 6.?Big, po?
tent, silent influences within the Re?
publican party are organizing a move?
ment to displace President Taft us tho
party's presidential candiduie, and to
substitute for him no less person than
Supreme Court Justice Charles E.
Hughes, Says Judson C* Welllver, In
tho Washington Times.
Tho Hughes proposal is not a boom,
and it Is not intended to be a boom.
It is being kept just ua quiet ns pos?
sible. > More is talked and known
about It in New York than anywhere
else, yet It gets no publicity in Now
i ork. lu New Englund it is recog?
nized us a well-deveiopetl propaganda,
yet tho public, prints know it not. In
political circles in the Middle West It
ia talked, but quietly und under the
rose. The time ;s not come to ui\e n
notriety. That lime may never come;
but the people operating the scene
shifting devices believe they will be.
able before three more months to turn
tho calcium suddenly on the centre bt
the stage and reveal a new figure
there.
Conservative* Seek Mnu.
Fearing that Mr. Tali cannot be
elected ii nominated, and that Mr.
Wilson's nominal.on Ca-anoi be pre?
vented, the confrereative Interests inj
politics, which m general are non-par-j
Osan, are casting about lor a meant
fo secure control tnrough the r-onuna-:
tlon of a differcr.i Republican.
A year ago me conservative plan
was to let Mr. Taft be nominated, and
then be defeated by Mr. Harmon. That
plan has been spoiled by tte rise of
-ur. Wilson. Mr. Wtisor. is regarded
by the old-line Republicans and the
l'urker sort of Democrats as no better
than Mr. Bryan. Su it has become
necessary to transfer allegiance lack
to the Republican party. In the hope
of displacing Mr. Taft by some maJi
whom It will be safe to support as
against Mr. Wilson.
Justice Hughes, all things consider?
ed, has appealed a3 the man most
likely to win at both convention and
polls. It Is calculated that Mr. Taft
is now so far broken down under the
assaults of the Progressive Republi?
cans, that If a serious schism should
develop In tho East, he would soon
be forced out of serious considera?
tion. And Justice Hughes is the man
now being tried out in the larger con?
siderations of strategy and tactics.
Can Justice Hughes be induced to
permit the use of his name? That is
the big question at this moment. Tho
people who are engineering the deal
for him don't car*, they would not
ask him; they would go ahead and put
over their plan and feel secure in tho
conviction that no man Is going to
refuse his party's nomination for Pres?
ident.
There Is, however, a disturbing re?
port that when Mr. Justice Hughes
was named for the Supreme bench,
he Is Instibstance pledged himself not
to Interfere with the future of Mr.
Taft. The story?and It Is related on
such high authority that great con?
fidence is entertained that It wftl not
he denied with a show of confirmatory
documents?that when Mr. Hughes was
tendered the Judicial post he now
holds. It was through a letter which
In substance said:

pleased to know whether n tender of
a position on the Supremo bench,"?
etc., etc.
That, it Is declared by peoplo who
assume to hove learned the' substan?
tial contents of the letter, amounted
to a commitment of Mr. Hughes to
keep out of politics. Accepting the
proffer on that condlt'on, Mr. Hughes,
it is maintained, Is now cstoped, in
honor, froili violating tho Implied
plc-dge to "withdraw entirely from
political activities."
What Worrlra Hughea Men.
Whether this story Is an accurate
presentation of the condition, it is
known that tius view has given the
Hughes supporters some worry. What
they want is to get a man to the
front of the Republican stage in time
to seize the standpat Republican
strength from Taft, without letting
Mr. La Follette brag any of It. They
want, moreover, a man who can hold
cut some of the progressive strength.
In addition to all the Tuft strength,
and Justice Hughes, after careful can?
vas?, his been decided upon as the
one man qualified for that task.
From New York comes the circum?
stantial story that VIce-Presldent
Sherman Is to be pusher! out as u can?
didate for this State's support. The
organization there think? it can han?
dle the situation for the i.me being,
and at the right moment switch to
Justice Hughes. Mr. Sherman, It Is
realized, ?ould not be a good man to
nominate, or to invest with the New
York support. But he is a good mask
for the Hughes movement. He can
be kept In long enough to organize
the desired situation: then Hughes
can be sprung In such manner as will
make the presidential lure look good
enough to keep him from kicking over
the whole pall of milk by a flat nnd
unqualified refusal.
What Situation Shows.
Thpre Is the whole plan. It Is based
on the twin axioms of Republican
regularity, that "Taft can't be elect?
ed," and La Follette must not be nom?
inated." There Is no effort amonj
the La Follette people, to deny that
the Hughes development worries them, i
They find It In New England, In ler- j
sey, all over the East. That would
not i,e so grievous standing alone, for
Mr. La Follette has small chance of
securing much strength In this re?
gion In his own right. The trouble
with Justice Hughes is that he also
Is strong in the Middle West and even
In the Far West. He looks good to ?
a lot of people who have been follow?
ing Messrs. La Follette, Cummins.
Brlstow and the rest of tho Western !
Progressives. That Is the very thing
that makes him available for the pur?
pose of the people who are now try?
ing to press him out Into the storm
centre of the political situation.
Despite that It has been so little
advertised, this Hughes movement is a
serious development. Both the Taft
and the antl-Taft Republicans are
recognizing It. It began to be se?
rious about the time of the progres?
sive conference at Chicago, two weeks
ago. It redoubled Its force and so
rlousness about the time Mr. Toft made
the Chicago speech, which admitted
that he didn't feel sure he could bo
re-elected.
That Chicago speech. Indeed, took tho
heart out of Mr. Taft's supporters as
nothing else has done. It convinced
the antl-Taft, anti-La Follette, nntl
Wllson people that It was Just time
for them to get busy. Suppose Mr.
Taft should get a fit of candor and
disgust some morning, and while no?
body suspected should announce thut ;
that he would not ask a renomlnatlon?
That would plsv right Into th? hands ,
or the La Follette crowd: and Taft
Is the sort of man to do Just such a j
thing.
Munt lie Fortified.
Therefore, the conservative Republi?
can clement must bo fortllled against
such a danger, by having another man
in the held to benefit Instantly by the
Taft withdrawal if It happens: to seize
upon iiie strength relinquished by the
President: to claim the Kus>t nnd the
South. And Justice Hughes is the. man
who Is being quietly groomed for thai
relation to the sltu.it/tm.
To make too much noise about hint,
in this si;i-.:,.. could perhaps spoil the
whob plan; it might Inffuee him llatlv
to refuse So the movement is being
managed very quietly, very skilfully,
ycry earnestly Every step depends on
l ow Taft moves, how the La Follette
Campaign develops strength, how tho
Dcmoi ratio situation frames with ref?
erence to Harmon and Wilson and
Chirk
Tho people who are talking Hughes
? ? to il>f>al any possibility of
h Ui Follette, ? Wilson or a Bryan
boh::-. Pn Sldent. They would be pleased
with a Harmon, fcntiailed with a Clark.
Hughes would be entirely grateful to

may seem possible ns against one of
