The loyalty of his troops is questioned, the army for the most pnrt being composed of men who openly assert their hostility to the present administration. The na tive element welcome nnv movement thnt will restore tranquility. Loot ing, burning, killing and general un rest and dissatisfaction have prevail ed since Yuan Shi Kai assumed the reigns of government. A report from Shanghai savs that President Yuan Shi Kai paid Dr. Sun Yat Sen ifl,.')00,000 to withdraw from the presidency. Tho republicans say there is no truth in the report. REPENTS ON FARM.
