Reason in Official An
nouncement. Peking. Jan. 21. fT. N. S.) Indefi
nite postponement Vf the coronation
of Yuan Shi Kai as emperor of China
was announced today. The uprising
in China was the reason officially
given for the postponement
Various foreign legations were noti

Vuan's "Sons Fighting.
San Francisco. Jan. 21. (P. N. S.)
While the revolutionary forces in
China are gaining ground steadily, the
two sons of Emperor Yuan Shi Kai are
fighting against each other for the
title and place of crown prince. Yuan
Ko ' Ting, eldest son, and Yuan Ko
Wen, second son, are bitterly contest
ing each other's claims, and two men,
accused of aiding one of the sons In
his. fight, have been arrested.
News of this latest turn in the Chi
nese situation was received here today
in a cable to the Chinese Republic
Journal, of which Tong King Chong is
editor.
The same advices state that the first
division of Yuan"s army at Calgan.
known as the 'gateway to Peking, is
expected to join the revolutionists' at
any moment. The desertion of these
troops, it is said, would be a hard blow
for Yuan Shi Kai.
The revolutfonary forces in Shansln
province in northern China have occu
pied Kwai Chlng. a large city in that
section.
In Tai Yuan Fu. ancient capital of
the Chinese empire, posters have been
displayed protesting against Yuan's as
cension to an imperial throne, accord
ing to the same advices.

Maud Powell Is a clever woman anj
a big artist. With her In recital last
night at the Heilig was a young pian
ist so exceedingly automatic in ac
knowledgment of applause that his
lowing proved a stronp feature of the
affair, which, by the way, was a genu
ine musical feast.

Torker appeared in the double role
soloist and accompanist, and when h
rouowed Maud fowell upon the stasre
In response to the applause after each
violin number, he took exactly four
steps forward, faced about to the
right, threw a plance at the start to
the left and bowed low. Then he
smiled as the violinist swished by
him. paused a moment, reversed the
former evolutions and disappeared in
the wings.
Recalled Dosen Times.
For a time It seemed as if the audi
ence would turn the stage into a drill
floor when they recalled the violinist
and her accompanist a dosen times or
more. The selection of an accompan
ist was a happy one, and e qualified,
too, as a soloist, for his several solos
were most enthusiastically receive!.
His technique was brilliant, remark
ably clean and the tone had the sing
ing quality.
Asfor Maud Powell, it need but be said
that she seems to improve with age,
for if anything she played better last
night than whenhere a year ego, and
sustained her reputation as 'the great
est living woman violinist." That is
a pretty broad assertion, but anyway
she-Ms one of the greatest.

In the second the soloist found
splendid opportunity to display an im
mense wealth of tone, and It also
brought home to the listener that,
while much of what D'Indy has writ
ten may sound too Intricate, his v-ork
Is that of a genius. For the openlnz
number, the violinist read De lirwlot's !
concerto in G major and almost scored ;
an ovation. The second division of (
the progTam was made up of little 1
gems that struck home. They wore j
.Musette." by Sibelius: and '"Twilight,"
by Massenet, arranged by the soloist,
and two movements from Bizet's "Car
men," arranged by Sar&sate and bear
ing very plainly the Sarasate stamp,
with elaborate flourishes in harmonics
and weird-sounding double stops.
'"I'willght" was exquisitely played on
muted strings and the audience wanted
it repeated. She played several num
bers. The recital was under the direction
of the Heilig theatre management and
the attendance was large.
In private life Maud Powell is Mra

ENGLISH REBUKED FOR
OF
American President Occupies
the Unenviable Position of
Pleasing Neither Side.
London. Jan. 21. (I. N. S,) The
London Dally Chronicle this morning
prints a long editorial on President
Wilson's foreign policy. It says:
"Mr. Wilson has had to face more
obloquy than almost any man who hss
filled his position, but he believes he
is pursuing the right policy to safe
guard the interests of the nation. The
basis of that policy is the maintenance
of treaty obligations and international
law, and behind it all there is a strong
feeling against the domination of
democracy by militarism.
"If the British press and public took
more trouble to understand him and
were more conscious of the impolicy
and absurdity of lecturing the great
republic on what Its president ought
to do, it would be much to the ad
vantage of the Anglo-American future,
and that future must be a large part
of the future of the world.
Occupies Thankless Bole.
"President Wilson occupies what is
apparently the unenviable position of
satisfying neither side the thankless
role of the neutral who aims at being
impartial.
"The personal position of the presi
dent has been one of exceptional diffi
culty, lie has incurred bitter and re
lentless hatred of aJl German-Americana
Besides the hostility of this
class and the defection of the Bryan
Democrats, he has put up with the
powerful opposition of the moneyed In
terest s."
The Times today prints prominently
the blockade proclamation issued by
Abraham Lincoln, and makes it the
text of an editorial leader urging a
blockade on Germany.
Xdnooln's Porce Hot Competent.
"Lincoln announced that a com
petent force would be posted to en
force the blockade," the Times says,
"although he had no "uch force. We
"made no formal protest. We were anx
ious for the friendship of the Amer
ican people, so we allowed them plenty
of time for the process. Even if the
effectiveness of our blockades were at
first open to question, we might rea
sonably expert from America that fa
vorable interpretation of a strict law
which we freely allowed her."
Can't Starve Germany,
Amsterdam. Jan. 21. (I. N
(Via London.) "An empire
S.)
that
stretches from Arras to Bagdad cannol
be start-vd, even if Its enemies cut off
nil s'iprlieH from without." says' the
Cologne Gazette, in an article on ths
prospective tightening of the blockade
by the allies. The newspaper expresses
the opinion that such a measure would
greatly Increase Great Britain's diffi
culty with the neutral nations, whloh.
It says, would not allow Great Britain
to continue to destroy their commerce.
To Cret Dutch Cattle.
Amsterdam, Jan. 21. (I. N. 8.)
(Via Txmdon.) The newspaper Nleuw
Van Pen Dag says the Dutch minister
of agriculture has authorised the im

Germany of thousands of cattle, which
otherwise are liable to die from ex
haustion and exposure due to the
shortage of foodstuffs due to the
floods, which are now receding.
