The attempted assassination came
shortly after King Victor left the

a liqe of cheering people nml before

menaced today by n determined
movement looking to the restoration
of the Mnnchus to power. The osi
tiou of President Yuan Shi Kai is
admittedly grave.
Foreign residents of Pekin are
slinking; in terror today over the ap
proach of an army from Knnsti aiut
Shensi, commanded by General Scnjj
Yun. The younger Maueliu princes
who strenuously opposed abdication
are behind General Sheng. Practi
cally the entire third division of the
republican army left here today to
intercept tho rebel forces.
Owing to the unrest and dissatis
faction among the republican troops
it is not believed that President Yuan
Shi Kai can hold out long against u
determined fore. 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

the presidency. Tho republicans say
there is no truth in the report.

CIIKISTIANTA', NonVnjTArar
The most significant proof of tho v
belief of tho people of Norway havo
ia Captain Amundsen's reported dis
covery is seen in the announcement
that King Hunkou and Queen Mnud
have consented to the use of their
names on maps of the newly discov
ered territory.
Cnutaiu Amundsen states thnt ho
will submit his charts and all infor
mation ns to his expedition without
delay, according to despatches from
Ilobart received by a special corde
spondent at Wellington, New Zea
land. The Royal Geographical society
accepts unqualifiedly Captain Am
undsen's ussertion that ho reached
tho South Polo and takes it for
granted that he was the first explor

There is a disposition in London to
reserve critical comment or praise
until the explorer has told the full
