Chinese government is believed here to
be largely the delicacy which this gov
ernment has fait in approaching the
Chinese government on this subject.
It was difficult to anticipate huw any

Chinese «re sensitive on any intima

they are not capable of manging their

There was a question
slab'whether these would have been
excusable, notwithstanding tbe great
interests the governments, particularly
that of the United States, have in the
preservation o f peace in China and the
maintenance of its progressive policy
in view o f the fact that there have
been no serious results following
Yuan’s dismissal and no reactionary
tendencies have hiarked the administra
tion o f the Chinese government.
Great reliance is placed by the State
dep rtment in the appointment o f Liang

Penang, Straits Settlement, Jan. 9.
— In an.interview here today Kang Y a
Wfei, the well known Chinese reformer
who was expelled from Pekin after tha
coup d’etat of 1898, declared that Yuan
Shi K ai bad been diamiaaed from his
high position as member o f the grand
council o f the Chinese empire because
he was instrumental in the death o f
the late emperor, and that he probably
would be placed on trial for hia con
nection with the matter.
“ The reaultt of thia trial w ill con
vince foreigners that Yuan Shi K ai
instigated the murder of the late em
peror,” K ang Yu W ei declared. “ H ia
dismissal will work for the good of the
constitutional p arty; the constitution

Since his expulsion from Pekin ten
years ago Kang Yu W ei haa been in
strumental in directing the reform
movement in the empire from various
places outside the country.
He ia at present living In conceal
ment in Penang, and very few people
are able to see him. It is necessary
to be vouched for by friends before

Announces Cut Rate From Chicago t©
Seattle Exposition.
Chicago, Jan. 9.— Trouble is brew ing
among the Western railroads over tb©
rates to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacifie ex
position, which will be held fn Seattle
this year. Today tha Burlington road
caused surprise among its competitors
by quoting a rata o f $62 for the round
trip from Chicago. In this connection
tbe Burlington has stolen a march on
the other roads, which were w aiting
for a general agreement among tha
lines of the Transcontinental Passenger
-ociation as to what tha rate should
be from Chicago.
Although there is no legal reason
why the Burlington should not act in
dependently tfnd quote any rate it sees
fit, its action is contrary to that cus
tomarily taken. Other Weatern roads
are now charging that tbe northern
connections o f the Burlington have
been quoting a $62 rate for several
weeks, despite the fact that only the
rate from the Missouri river and from
the Twin Cities had been agreed upon,
the rate being $50.
Representatives o f other Western
roads declare that, if the Turlington
purposes taking independent action be
fore rate matters have been considered
by the association, it will mean a seri
ous break in the harmonious relations
existing among Western roads.
