YUAN IS CAUTIOUS. WON'T ACCEPT PREMIERftfflP WITHOUT FIXED TERM, Possible That strong Man or China Will Himself Recommend Abdlca* lion of Euipefor. Peking. Nov. 14.?While the im perlal government 11 endeavorlnt to force the premiership on Yuan Shi Kai, China's strong man in his con ferenee today with Prince Chun, the regent, Prince Ching( actin;,- premie: and other members of the nominal cabinet, took occasion to point out the insecurity of that uthce, ihe re? tention of which depends on the ca? price of the national assembly. Yuan Shi Kai, if he accepts the premiership at all, desires a fixed term of office and he so stated to ihe regent. But he must obtain this through the national assembly, as an edict would be likely to arouse suspicion. It is not considered probable that Yuan Shi Kal will undertake the gigantic task set for him unless he considers the chances favorable to carrying it to a successful issue. There is still another possibility?he may be considering the alternative of a re? public and may himself recemmene the abdication of the emperor. Ho reports that the rebel leader. Gen. Li Yuen Heng, said he would obey his orders if Y"uan would corn sent to become president, but would not recognize htm as a Manchu premier. In his opinion it would not be difficult to reconcile the provinces, most of which are giving the strong? est evidences of. a desire for peace. The complete constitution already pledge would staisfy the revolution? aries except for the fear that Manchu intrigue would begin immediately arms were laid down. One of the prominent members of the national assembly today informed a foreign legation attache that al? though the assembly had committed Itself to a constitution under the Man? chu dynasty, a majority would prefer to reorganize the government on the lines of a republic. Financial stress is being felt by the administration. The board of finance has only about $300,000 while the late empress dowager's hoarded silver and gold Is not thought to amount to more than $3.000.000. I R1WH1TW FOR IW5ATTTE.

CHICAGO MEAT MONOPOLISTS APPEAL I OK WRIT! OF HA? BEAS CORPUS. Their Attorney! Attack Sherman Antl Trust Statut*?Effort Made to se? cure Decision on Law Without Ex petnc and Trouble. Chicago Nov. 14. ? A further effort of the indicted Chicago meat packen to avoid trial and to ha\e declared unconstitutional, void and of no force the Sherman anti-trust law was made today. The latest move was a surprise to the government and consisted in the surrender to the United States marshal of the packers and an immediate ap? peal to United States circuit Judge Kohlsaat for a writ of habeas corpus. The arguments will he heard Thurs? day. The request for a decision on ?he constitutionality of the Sherman anti? trust law before undergoing trial was said to have been taken as n neces? sary step to carry v the < ase before the United States supreme court with? out the cost or delay of a trial. Violations of the fifth, sixth and eighth amendments to the federal constitution, ambiguity and alleged failure of the act either to create an offense against the government or to detine what It set jp as an offense in a manner that would enable the citi? zen to know when he erred and when not, were chafed against the Sher? man law as the law was recently in? terpreted by the United States su? preme court in the? Standard Oil and Tobacco cases. John S. Miller, who as chief of counsel of the packers conducted to? day's court action, characterized the Sherman law as a "net large enough to catch all possible offenders and leaves it to the courts to step in and say who rightfully can be detained and who set at large." Of the ten packers Indicted all but J. Ogdon Armour were tempor? arily in custody while the petition was heard. The nine were: Louis F. Swift, Edward Swift, Chas. H. Swlf*.. Edward Tilden. Arthur Meeker. Ed? ward Morris, Francis Fowler, Thomas J. Connors and lx)uls H. Heyman. The petition for a writ of habeas corpus contained little material other than the argument used by the pack? ers before United States District | Judg< Carpenter when thai sought to have the indtottnente luaetu ; and later In argument demurring t? Ih court's decit i i r, uic Indictment < n t roveray. It goes into more detail in the al? legation of insufficiency of the statute to set up a crime and it lays more stress on what the attorneys for the packers characterize as the citizens Inability to know whether he s a law? breaker before a jury trial. TRACTION ENGINE WORK SHOWN Rig Rumley Kerosene Engine Does Work of Many Men and Mules. The Rumley Kerosene traction en? gine was set to work in the field just west of South Washington street on Tuesday, and gave a fair illustration Of what a farmer with n o.lern ap? pliance can do on his farm and h< v much work he can be enable 1 to do with few hands and without mulei The field at the corner of Wash? ington and Dingle strets v. as the 0 In Which the engine with four plow fastened to It was net to work, and In a few minutes time it had turned up quite a large area.
