BRITISH AND JAPS
MAY CTIN CHINA
Propose Dual Mediation, AN
, though Powers Had An
oiher Plan.
London Considerable curiosity has
boon arouted In diplomatic circle
here regarding the reason (or the
proposal of Great Rrttain and Japan
to undertake a dual mediation In
China, after the powers, Including
the United States, had decided to
present an Identical note to the con
ference now meeting at Shanghai.
There was a tendency to believe
that the Japanese government had
made the proposal and that Japan
was anxious to Intervene. !t turns
out now. however, that the proposal
really came from the British govern
ment, acting on the belief that the
British consul at Hankow, who had
Induced the combatants to agree to
an armistice, might again succeed
, as a mediator In the larger question.
It is understood that the state de
partment is making Inquiries both in
Japan and Great Britain In regard to
the proposed British-Japanese media
tion. The reiterated report that the Brit-
Uh-Japaaese mediation contemplated
Insistence upon the monarchical gov-
tument is officially denied. It was
said at the foreign office that the
efforts of the British government. In
conjunction with the other powers,
were directed to assisting China to
secure an efficient form of govern
ment based on popular approval.
Italy It Willing to Pay.
Some. The limitation of the war
to Tripolltan territory and. the ab
sence of any naval action on the part
tt Italy makes the conclusion of
peace less urgent, as the interests of
the other powers are not so severely
affected aa at the beginning of hos
tilities. As peace with Turkey would
facilitate matters and curtail ex
penses, Italy, It is understood, still
is ready to pay the Porte a consider
able amount on account of Tripoli.
NEW ARMISTICE EXPECTED
Yuan Can Continue Government for
Months Without Loan.
Pekfa. Fighting apparently has
ceased, at least temporarily, in China.
No reports have been received recent
ly of activities between the imperial
ists and the revolutionists, but minor
engagements have occurred with rob
ker bands, which continue to increase.
Officials here expect that the armis
tice will be renewed after December
.
That Yuan also will refuse to ac
cept the proffered presidency of the
proposed republic is considered cer
tain, even by those who believe he is
a self-seeker. It is said on reliable
authority that the premier is able to
continue the government for several
weeks, perhaps months, without a
foreign loan.
Wife of "Cut-Rate" Mayor Helps.
Indianapolis. Mrs. Lewis Shank is
actively reinforcing her husband, the
mayor of Indianapolis, in his cam
paign against the high cost of living.
Saturday she stood in the public
market, selling dressed turkeys and
chickens, walnuts and mincemeat,
purchased by the mayor directly from
the producers and offered to the con
sumers at prices under those asked
by the regular dealers.
DRASTIC LAWS ADOPTED
California Legislature Regulates Pub
lic Service Corporations.
Sacramento. In a four weeks' spe
cial session the California legislature
adopted the most comprehensive and
drastic law for the regulation of pub
lic service corporations yet deviBed
by any state. It adopted another hill
designed to regulate the appropria
tion of water for power purposes that
will lay a basis for stringent regula
tion of all power and Irrigation en
terprises a year hence.
A presidential preference primary
law advocated by Governor Johnson
gives to the majority of voters In
each party the choice of delegates
to the national conventions and the
instruction of such delegates as to
the presidential nomination.
France Boycotts German-Made Toys.
Paris. Shopkeepers who failed to
tike into consideration the bitterness
letween France and Germany found
themselves with large supplies of
toys and trinkets, marked "made In
Germany," which they could not dis
pose of at any price. The Christmas
Khoppers boycotted everything of Ger
man make.

Topeka. With the ultimate object
of standardizing all hash served in
public places In Kansas, the state

EXCLUDE AMERICAN GOODS
Russia and Japan In League Against
United States.
St Petersburg. Intimation that
the commercial treaty which Is being
negotiated between Russia and Japan
is to exclude all goods of American
manufacture from Manchuria was
made semiofficially here. It is said
to be part of the tariff war which
Russia Is preparing to wage against
the United States In retaliation for
the abrogation of the Russo-American
treaty of 1832.
The unwonted speed with which
the negotiations are being carried on
here and at Toklo in order to have
the convention ratified within the j
next fortnight if possible, indicates ,
that both nations are acting from a '
more important impetus than origin
ally mutual consideration.
Turks Lose 75 Men at Derna.
Tripoli. General Trombl reports
that la an engagement at Derna the
Turks had 75 men killed. "At Tobruk
an Italian detachment, protecting the
construction of a fortification, was
fiercely attacked. The fighting con
tinued six hours with the Italian loss
seven killed and fifteen wounded.
Britons Say Treaty Bars Rebates
London. The Hay-Pauncefote trea
ty of 1902 between Great Britain and
Ireland and the United States Is quot
ed as against President Taffs sug
gestion in his message to congress on
December 21, that preferential treat
ment should be accorded to American
ships passing through tie Panama
Canal
TABRIZ ATTACKED BY
RUSSIAN SOLDIERS
London. Fifty persons were killed
and many wounded In street fighting
between Russian troops and Persians
at Tabriz, according to dispatches
from the Persian government The
Russians have practically taken pos
session of the city, as all government
buildings and the telegraph office are
in their possession. The dead include
a number of Persian officials.
Many private dwellings were des
troyed by the Russians, who bom
barded the city. There were collis
ions between the Russians and Per
sians at Recht and one or two other
smaller places. The Russian clashes
have caused considerable apprehen
sion and complicated an already
tense situation. It is thouKht the
Persian troops will now remain in
Persian territory for an indefinite I
period. ,
The news of the fighting at Tahriz j f.
and Recht created great excitement M
in Teheran.
