MISSIONS IN PERIL IN NORTHERN CHINA Imperialists Suspect -, Ameri cans of Inculcating Revolu tionary Ideas Minister Advises Caution. London, Jan, 23. Affairs of state In Peking are now in undisputed pos session of the Manchu reactionaries and Yuan Sht-Kal has abandoned his task, according1 to advicea from the American consul at Tien Tstn and re ported by the Exchange Telegraph correspondent. It is reported all ne gotiations having a view to abdication have been summarily broken off. - ' w Peking. Jan. 23. Prince Ching. the ox-premier; Prince Pu-Lin, ex-presi-li nt of the national assembly, and Prince Tsai Suen, brother of the ex regent, absented themselves from the conferences of the Imperial clan yes terday, which left the decision as to the abdication to the reactionaries, who have been strengthening their hand steadily since the premier per mitted the probability of abdication to become known. Curiously few of the princes of In ner Mongolia, whom the Manchus consider Inferior to themselves, rallied to the aid of the Manchus. The empress dowager, being reluc tant to abdicate, has accepted the iid vice of the eractlonary princes. The matter of appointing Yin Tching, the ex-war minister, or Tie Liang, former . Tartar general at Nanking, to replace Yuan Shi Kal was discussed, but the argument prevailed that the 19 artl clcn of the constitution promulgated by the national assembly last Novem ber Bhould be observed. . Yuan Antl-Manehu. ' .. Yuan "hj Kol is now recognized as antl-Manchu: therefore this distrust ful country accuses him of personal designs. . But it may be that he is only following a patriotic determination for the purpose of preventing a division of the country, with, the prospects of nub-divisions. The foreign legations, Including the American legation, do not desire to see Yuan Shi Kal retire, because a capable substitute for his office Is not available. It Is realized that Yuan's presence atone prevents widespread disorders In the north, which would endanger the lives of foreigners. It is believed that he will remain In Peking, protected from Manchu at tacks and rebel dynamite until the Manchus discover their own Inability to cope with the situation, whereupon he will resume control. Many mis sionaries in the ' northern provinces strongly resent the attitude of the missionaries In Shanghai who are publicly supporting the revolution. Bishop Bashford of the Methotilst Episcopal mission and other promi nent American missionaries have ex pressed to the Washington adminis tration the view that a republic is Inevitable, while another group, al most ; entirely Americans, '.have tele graphed to the empress dowager and the leading princes asking them to adbicate. The American legation approves of the urovlslons expressed In the for eign letter addressed to the legation" irom a mission In Chi LA: "We strongly disapprove of mis sionaries becoming political advisers and placing themselves on the side ' of the revolutionaries. It is a menace to us who remain In the northern in terior. The act of the missionaries In Shanghai signing such telegrams . nnd widely publishing them, brands the missionary body as revolutionary . and might mean our being wiped out The Imperialists already suspect that the missions, especially the American ' missions, are Incubating revolutionary Ideas. The American minister, Mr. .Calhoun, has endeavored repeatedly to persuade all the mis sionaries to leave the Interior. , DONLON IS APPOINTED GEORGETOWN'S HEAD Succeeds Rev, 3. nimmoll.
