YUAN SHI KAI IS PREMIER Appointment Believed to Be Fore runner of Order Negotiations for War Loan. Had Been Suspended Temporarily. PEKIN, Nov. X. The War Office has received a report that the Imperialists have captured Hankow and massacred the population. News officially promulgated today in dicated that the appointment of Yuan 6hi Kal as Premier would be followed by a oessatlon of hostilities on' the part of the Imperialists and the opening of negotiations with General LI Tuen Hi;, leader of the revolutlonlsU at Hankow. The Imperial edict providing for Im portant administrative changes also ac cepts the resignations of the Ministers, but until Yuan Shi Kal returns to Pe kln. Prince Chlng will continue to per form the duties of Premier, and the present Cabinet will remain In office. All- the Ministers attended a secret esslon of the National Assembly to day, which. It Is understood, virtually agreed to the demands of the Hanchou troops. A member of the war board was appointed to confer with the troops and express the Assembly's views. Lou Once Thought TJaaeceasaxy. The Assembly also discussed the re cent loan, for which arrangements had been made with a Belgian and French syndicate. The Ministers explained that the :oan was needed for carrying on field operations. The Assembly thought there was a good prospect of the ter mination of hostilities, and In that case the fund would not be necessary. It was finally decided to refer the sub ject by telegraph to Yuan Shi Kal. A member brought up the Question of the Shanghai Taotal s failure to pay the Installment of the boxer Indemnity, and a Minister explained that two months' grace with 4 per cent interest hsd been allowed. The panic among the people of Pekln. which ensued after the issuance of the first imperial edict, had been largely dispelled until tonlght's'report caused a revival of fears, and the newspapers haa begun to sum up the results of the IT days' rebellion. Frees Predicts New Era. The Dally News considers that the appointment of Yuan Shi Kal will change the entire political complexion, restore peace, inspire the people with confidence, command the respect of foreign countries and place the empire on a sound basis.

Chinese patriotism was tempered with economic determination here today, when the Chinese members of a "pink paama" brigade, employed as servants at a ho tel, were told they would be dismissed if they cut off their queues. The Chi nese boys in their flowered pajamas and long queues glistening with cocoanut oil have been regarded by the man ager of the fashionable hostelry as one of his chief attractions. "When a com mittee waited on him yesterday and in formed him of the revolutionary edict, ordering the sacrifice of the queues, he refused. "If you cut them off, all lose your Job." he said. "Pajamas don't make a Chinese any more than a Persian prayer rug makes a Turk." The boys Informed their countrymen in Chinatown of their predicament and an indignation mee'Jng was held, in whloh the hotel manager was de nounced. It was decided to propose that the queues be cut and attached to the caps in such a way as to conceal the severing process. This plan will be auggestsd to the hotel management.

Harassing of Capital Is Decried. ERA GF CO-OPERATION HERE Competitive Individualism to Be Thing of Past. PUBLICITY EASIEST WAY Banking Partner of J. P. Morgan Believes Fair Regulation Can Be Attained New Age Makes New Powers Useful. BY OEORQH W. PERKINS. (Flnanoler and partner in banking firm of J. P. Morgan A Co.) (Published by arrangement with the Chlcaro Tribune.) The people of the United States are confronted today by the problem of business. It is a problem so vital to the National life, so Important to the welfare of the individual that It over shadows any other phase of our exist ence. We have In business a situation com parable with that which preceded the Civil War, a situation alive with peril to the progress of the Nation, and pregnant with disastrous consequences unless a satisfactory solution be ob tained. It does not take the seventh son of a seventh son to foresee the outcome of the campaign which is being direct ed against legitimate business opera tions a campaign based In large pari upon Ignorance of the history of our development and of the forces which have shaped It. and to a lesser degree upon misconception of the operation ol . these forces, and finally upon the fail ure of our Governmental representa tives to know and to deal adequately with modern conditions, or their re fusal, when Informed, boldly to advo cate measures which would meet them. IndidlvnaUsm Becomes Oo-operatlve. This Is no. longer an age of Inde pendent and competitive individualism; it Is an age of co-operative individ ualism; and by the latter I mean the concentration of lndMduallstlo efforts. Time has passed the field of human endeavor where every man fought for himself and. cared not a whit as to the effect of his operations upon or the ultimate fate of his neighbor. The acts of the modern man influence the four corners of our Nation, as the ripples from a thrown stone wash the shores of a quiet lake. What has brought about this changed condition? It is the great agents of modern life steam and elec tricity. They have created intercom munication enabled minds to ex change instantaneous thought. They have displaced the ox team, with Its small radius of operation, with the fast railroad and steamship, which gird the world, the slow mall by the lightning-like wireless or telephone. They have annihilated distance. A mighty aid in this great transforma tion has been education. In this wonderful metamorphosis. Inventions, the handmaids of business, have played their part. The oppor tunities of inventors have expanded, and a wise and far-seeing govern mental policy has Increased them. New Power Made Useful. How different has been the attitude observed with respect to business. Its operations have been hindered by our lawmakers Instead of facilitated. What it has accomplished has been In spite of rather than because of their actions. It has grown and developed in conse quence of the conditions which the harnessing of steam and electricity and myriad inventions have produced. It is the evolution of the natural law. From these conditions have sprung the modern corporation. It Is truly the child of steam and electricity. We know the power, the dangers of these great agents. But have their power and the danger inseparable from their use deterred us in employing themT Have we not utilized them and thereby brought to humanity greater blessings and greater happiness than It has ever enjoyed? We have enjoyed these results through their regulation and control. In doing so we have probed the secrets of nature, though with respect to elec tricity we are still ignorant of whal it is. The corporation, on the other hand. Is not mysterious. It is a creature fashioned by man, every part of which is visible to the eye.. It has been a tremendous factor for good, though there have been glaring abuses which properly have been condemned. Magnitude Is no Ofease. It has been claimed that these abuse were the direct consequence of the glanthood some of these enterprises have attained. Nothing could be more fallacious. Size Is nothing to the American, with his native eagerness to increase his responsibilities and his ability to handle them. Moreover, the Supreme Court has held that because a company Is large It It not necessarily illegal. What ths think ing man objects to is not slse. It if (Concluded en Pase Ski
