Tho engineer and train crew were beaten, but the passengers were not mistreated to any great extent al? though they were robbed of all their valuables.

YCAX WILL CALL ADVISERS. I Intends to Call Meeting of Statesmen to Draft Regulations for Parlia? ment. Peking, Nov. 12.?President Yuan j Shi Kai intends to summon an "ad f ministrative council" which, in addi? tion to transacting state affairs, will draft regulations governing the new parliament. The council will number 71 members, consisting of the cabinet officers and others appointed by the president, and the provincial govern? ors who already have been appointed by him. Yuan Shi Kai considers the pres? ent house of deputies an unwieldy body and desires its reduction to 300 n.embers. The original number of representatives was 596. The powers of the parliament also will be ma? terially curtailed and the senate gives place to the administrative council. The programme probably will be j carried into effect if the president's opponents are not able to bring about its modification. In the meantime the remnant of parliament is permitted to continue holding informal meetings but can do no business because of lack of a quorum. S. C. SENATORS ON GOOD TERMS.
