Dispatches from Hankow say the flKhtln there between the revolutionists and the Imperialists, which was begun Sunday evening, was renewed this morning by the liepub I leans. :0 miles up the river, who bad not yet received notice of the promul gation of an armistice. The Republican commander ordered the fighting to cease, but a desultory gun fire was heard throughout the day. Much depends upon whether the fighting near Hankow was authorized by the Republicans and whether It will be folowed out by the Republlcana or Imperialists. The Associated Press Is Informed that the news of the attack mas welcomed by Yuan Shi Kal. who will now await the issue. If tho Im perialists are victorious it will give the throne a brief lease of life, while a re verse to the Imperialists. It Is said, would precipitate the abdication of tho Kinperor. The Dally News, the organ of the for ricn office, proposes In an article printed today that the Republicans and ImprrialiKta save the country from anarchy by forming a united govern ment, which shall control affairs until an assembly can be elected and deter mined whether the country shall be nix'le Into a republic or a monarchy This Indicates even Tuan Sbl Kai's flread of partitioning of the mplre. There Is little doubt that he prefers the abdication of the Kmperor to this. Tang Shao Yl. Tuan Shi Kal"s repre sentative at Shanghai, has tendered his resignation as a peace delegate, but Yuan has refused to accept it. It is said the reaaon the Imperial Princes have refrained from donating Urge sums of money to aid the gov ernment Is that they felt the govern ment s cause Is a hopeless one and also because some of them seriously alstrujt Yuan Shl Kal. -NOBLEMEN'S COIX DEMANDED Commandeering of Prices' Wealth I Sought by Imperial Generals.

TIMBER GAMBLING IS HIT sorest Service Would Pnt End to ', Speculation. V ASHINOTON. Jan. I. Kf forts by the Forest Service to prevent specula tion In Government timber and to pre trct the public against monopoly prices are shown In a new plan which has been adopted for making timber sales la National forest a This plan provides for periodic revision of stumpags 1 prices. In view of the general upward ten dency of stumpsge prices, forestry offi cial, say that long-continued contracts base.! on present prices would be a fctrona Incentive to speculstlon. - The first bids advertised under the new plan are for .3.000 00 board feet In the Tahoe National Forest of Cali fornia, with a ten-year period In which It all must be cut. This deal will in volve the construction of 20 miles of railroad. During the past fiscal year more than i30.000.000 board feet of National forest timber were sold, and this year. It Is estimated, will show a consider ably higher total. The National Forests contain a vast supply of merchantable Umber, esti mated at the equivalent of over 60S billion feet, board measure, a great part of which is rips for the ax or already over-mature. In many cases, however, the purchaser has to make a heavy Initial Investment in transporta tion facilities. To have this pay. he must be able to figure on a large operation, requiring a number of years, to carry through. The Tahoe sale calls for the con struction of 20 miles of railroad, which will be a common carrier and there fore decidedly beneficial to the com munityanother reason for making the sale which Is taken Into account. A minimum price of II 60 a thousand feet for yellow ptne. the amount of which is estimated at 2.000.000 feet, snd also for sugar ptne. and of Jl a thousand feet for all other species.

Wash.. Jan. Special.) Almost Immediately after January" 1 festivities have subsided and while New Tear's "never again" oaths are still fresh and unbroken, the Anti Saloon League will start a state cam paign that will end nxt November. This year Is different from all previ ous ones in that all local option elec tions will be held simultaneously on the regular election day In November. A locality that votes "wet" this year must remain so until November, 1914, and the same applies to territory that may be added to the dry column this year. Lewis R. Horton, Eastern Washing ton, superintendent of the League, esti mates that next November from 90 to 100 towns and cities will vote "wet" or "dry." Spokane may be one of these. "We will try to turn the 'wet' towns dry1 wherever we have a . fltrhtlng chance." said Horton today. "The sa loon and brewery Interests will try to turn the 'dry towns "wet wherever they have a fighting chance. "Both sides know that the fight wll be a hard one. We cannot expect to carry on fights In 90 or 100 places at once and win them by two weeks ac tivity before the elections, so we are going to start a campaign at once. "Whether we will try to put Spo kane In the "dry column will depend entirely on the attitude of the church people. If they want to start a cam naiirn to make this city 'dry and will stay behind us, we will make the fight. "If the churches are not anxious to change the status here we will not at tempt to force the Issue." HATES HANG ON DECISION Controversy Over Government Con trol to Be Settled. WASHINGTON. Jan. 1. To straighten out some of the kinks In the Jurisdiction of the new Commerce i ourt ana oi tne Interstate Commerce Commission will be one of the first tasks to confront the Supreme Court when It convenes Jan uary a. This decision may foreshadow the ruling of the court In the famous Intermountaln rate cases In which the Commerce Court and the Interstate Commerce Commission are at odds. Tnat rase does not come before tne court un til February 19. One of the ticklish problems for tne Sunreme Court to decide Is whether the Commerce Court has power to review decisions from the Commission In which the complaining shipper ts denied re lief. .It has been argued that the court la open only to a defeated railroad, though the court has ruled otherwise. Another cause of contention to De reviewed bv the Supreme Court Is the assertion by the Commerce Court of power to hold up the Commission s or ders, while It reviews their merits. This particular point will be argued when the Supreme Court reviews the action of the Commerce Court In enjoining temporarily the enforcement of the Commission's order baaed on discrim ination by railroads In favor of Ar- burkle Broa, sugar refiners. The Commission found the railroads were discriminating against shippers In al lowing Arburkle Bros, compensation for lightering its sugar across isew York harbor, but not allowing a like compensation to the Federal Sugar Company.
