Passing of Would-Bc Emperor-President
Hailed With Rojolcing Pres
ident Li Yuan Hunn Inherits De
pleted Treasury and Disorganized
Government.
I'KKINfl, June 20 (correspondence
of the Associated Press.) Chinusu
public opinion has been in a strange
ly unformed state since the tlculh of
Yuan Shi Kai. The passing of tho
would-be emperor-president waa
hailed with rejoicing rather than sor
row, and efforts to enforce mouniiii;;
have been somewhat farcical.
Every day it becomes uluiirur that
many of the loaders of tho revolu
tion, who declared Yuan Shi Kai's
retirement was the chief end which
they sought, hud personal ambitious,
and are not giving l.i Yuan Hung the
support which might reasonably be
expected of them. Many of the
provinces, however, refused to rejoin
the union nud new demands are made
upon the president almost daily by
political leaders in tho rebelling prov
inces.
c'liinnro .Minister ItcMgns
Liang Shi-Yi nud Chow Tsu-Chi,
the two members of the government
who had most to do with finances in
Chinii, hnve both resigned under fire.
Thu foituer was head of tho financial
council, nnd director-general of the
Hank ot ('ommuuicntmus. The latter
was formerly minister of coiiiiuorce
and agriculture, but had for a short
time served as minister of finance.
Both of those men won' olose advis
ors of Yuan Shi Kai and nre regard
ed by foreigners as two of the ablest
leaders in China.
I.fnhg Tshf-Yi ha been the stornr
center of criticism for miluv mouths
mill recently the republican press has
assuild him bitterly. The liouiil f
censors has made all adverse re pot I
on his administration, charging mal
feasance in office. Ho is accused of
various financial irregularities mid h
blamed for the shortage of hard
money which mndo it necesMiry to
su-pend specie payments on the notes
of the Itauk of t'oiiuuiinieiitioiis and
the ltauk of China.
I'lvnilcr AImi Attacked
Tumi Chi Jui, thu premier, is also
buiug attacked by the republican
pre and charged with mi unwilling
ness to hnve President l.i Yuan
Hung issue a inundate restoring tho
old Nnikiug provisional constitution
mid iceeiving the national assembly
provided for by that constitution.
While bitter criticism has not been
directed us yet towards President Li
Yuan Hung, there are many rumblings
in the native pi ess concerning his
failuie to take immediate steps to
eliminate all the Yuan Shi Kai crowd
from the government and re tore tho
republic to tho condition it vtia in
before Yuan Shi Kai manipulated thu
Nanking provisional constitution. -
Li Yuan 1 1 ling's position is ex
tremely difficult. Ho has inherited it
depleted treasury mid a thoroughly
disorganized government. Three fac
tion ate endeavoring to dominate
Chinese affairs. One of thoso is con
trolled by the .M"anebiis of north
China j tho Yang Tjte valley auction
dominated by military loader along
tho Yang T.c and the far south is
dominated by Canton loaders. All
thue men are playing at cross pur
pose and effort to hunuonizo them

BLACKLIST 5IYLED
TACTICAL BLUNDER
BY GREAT BRITAIN
LONDON', July -M. A neutral
diplomat, exceptionally well informed
regarding the details of the economic
war which (Ireat Britain is waging on
the central powers, today declared to
a rojirosontiitivo of tho Assoeiuted
Press that he regarded the recent
publication by the liritih government
of the blacklist of certain American
firms us "the greatest possible tac
tical blunder at this stago, when a
I'm il ch loan i about to be floated in
America, aiid important Itussiaii
finaitciiil arrangements nre under
wny there."
"It is a blunder," continued the
diplomat, "because it is unnecessary,
since for months most of tho firms
on tho list have been on n sub-roua
blauklist. At any rate, they were
not on the white lit, so tho govern
ment had complete control over any
of thuir operations which touched
British territory.
"Thu financial section of London
is by no means unanimous in ap
proval of the measure, even those in
its favor being dissatisfied with its
scope, contending that some omi
sions from the it are more signifi
cant than inclusion.
"It, publication at this time is a
mystery. One poihlo theory is that
tho government's hand was forced by
recalcitrant Hritih firms which havo
refused to (five up trading with firms
not on the white ht until their posi
tion was made legally untenable by
the actual promulgation of thu lit.

Frank I1. Walsh, chairman of tho

concerning thu epoch-making decis
ion handed down by the supremo

is promised by Mr. Rockefeller.

Air. John D. Jtookofellor, Jr., 20
Broadway, Now York City.
Sir:
The committee on industrial rela
tions has just rcccivud from tho mi
promo court of Colorado, which is tho
court of lust resort of that stato, Hh
opinion and judgment in the Colorado
election casus, in which your conduct
und that of your associates is
branded as anarchistic, fraudulent
and destructive of free institutions.
Thus fur you seem to havo paid no
attention to thai judicial condemnu
ion. The court in its judgment found
thut the notorious. Sheriff JoiT Karr
was jour ngent.
The court placed tho direct re
sponsibility for the most revolting
political uud industrial corruption di
rectly at tho door of tho company.
It declared that tho public election
machinery "had been turnud ovfir to
tint iiliHolute domiilillhm.iitld imperial
control" of yolir ooiniMiily, ami wiih
"used by thorn iih absolutely and pri
vately as wore their minus, to and for
thuir own private purposejj."
Klcetlon Crime Detailed.
The situation thus created was de
clared by tho court to ho "ho ropug
liHiit to tho spirit of free government
as to he inconceivable," and that
"its certain result would ho the de
struction of popular govorumont."
Among other o rimes found by tho
court to hnve been committed by tins
organization wero the throttling of,
public opinion, the denial of the ex
ercise of choice by sovereign elec
lorn, the dictation and control of nil
election officers, (ho stifling of pub
lic discussion, the imperial designa
tion ns to what citir.ens could ot
could not peacefully enter upon pub'
lie territory, tho prostitution of tint
ballot; and tho court adjudged that
such cor nipt practices absolutely de
stroyed tho "free, open uud fair
election us contemplated by tho con
stitution." All of these offenses, you will note,
weic committed after oti had iissiim
ed charge in Colorado by sending
your associates there, uud after ou
had lured W. L. .MacKen.ic King to
