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.

PACKERS FEAR TRIAL. !
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.
