law which ar th beginning and
manifestations of a despotism."

YUAN INAUGURATED
CHINAPRESIDENT
Ceremony at Pckin is Note
worthy, But Legations Are
Not Represented.
Pekln. Yuan Shl Kal wa formally
Inaugurated provisional president of
the Republic of China In the presence
of a great gathering of delegates, pro
vincial envoy, military and naval of
ficer and oilier prominent personages

eigners attended th ceremony, but
the legal Ion were not represented.
Yuan Shl Kal, who wa in military
uniform, read a declaration promising
fulthfully to develop th republic, ob
serve tle constitutional law and re
tire when th national assembly ap
pointed a permanent president.
Most of those attending were attired
either in uniforms or European dress.
The only touch of Orientalism was th
presentation of th scarfs to Yuan by
two yellow-robed llamas.
The minister and military conn
mander at Pekln and Tien tsin con
tinue to tak precaution against
eventualities. It Is not considered
likely that Jhe disorders In these cities
ill become anti-foreign. The mis
sionaries, who know the people better
than anyone else, say there 1 no rea
son for alarm. Diplomats and mili
tary officer!, however, argue that the
recent outbreak came without a mo
ment' notice and believe that pos
sibly the Chines artillery may be
turned upon th foreign concessions
without warning.

OPPOSING ARMIES
MASS AT TORREON
El Paso, Texas. With Geneml 0
ozco rushing his troops to Torrecn,
and the Mudero government concen
trating all of Its available force In
northern Mexico at that point, It is
conceded by both sides that one of the
greatest battles in the history of Mex
ico will be, fought near that city.
Already Orozco has sent 2000 men
to Torreon. He announced In Chi
huahua that he would follow with 4000
more, and there are in Juarez, nnd at
Casas Grnndes, more than 1500 other
rebels, all of whom were sent to Tor
reon. The government forces at Torreon,
under Colonel Emllio Madero, brother
of President Mndero, number more
than 5000 now, it is claimed by federal
officials, and 3000 more are en route
from the south and west.
Juarei stores and banks are being
systematically looted by rebel troops
under command of General Antonio
Rojas, and It Is asserted in some quar
ters that it Is being done by Rojas'
ordor. In the looting of the Banco
Naclonnl, 20,000 pesos were secured,

Shanghai. Recent events In China
have gone far to prove that big busi

itical alliances of Its countries, Is fight
ing to control the vast resources of
the nation, using the starving millions
as puppets in the game of high fin
ance. It Is an open secret that Amer
