By E. C. SNYDER,

Washington, Nov. , 10. (Special
Telegram, ; Congressman Jeffcris,
who recently had a letter from H. D.
Lute of Lincoln, secretary or the
Nebraska farm bureau federation,
saying farmers 1 were protest
ing against the recent ruling of
the Postoffice department, whereby
the fauner on rural routes was un
able to got his mail on Sunday, said
yesterday that the ruling of the de
partment had evidently been miscon
strued. --Mr. Jefferis took up the mat
ter with Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bellany, who stated to the
congressman that the"1 order issued
IVas intended to relieve rural carriers
from going to the postoffice to sort
mail on Sunday. ' It'was framed with
the idea of giving rural carriers a
full Sunday off, the same as given
to the city carriers. It was intended
in no way to interfere with the con
duct of the postofficcs regulated by
individual postmasters. , The order,
according to Assistant Postmaster
General Bellany, docs not affect in
any way postmasters or their as
sistants and if rural carriers desire
to go to the postoffice on Sunday
and sort mail they are privileged to
do so.
Charles' P.. Craig, executive di
rector of the Great Lakes and St.
Lawrence Tidewater association of
Duhith, Minn., is in Washington in
conference with Congressman Jefferis
on the St. Lawrence project and has
invited the congressman to be pres
ent at a meeting of the engineers at
New York on Monday evening next.
Mrs. Zora - Quakenbush, postmis
tress at Bingham, Sheridan county, a
gold star mother, who lost a son in
France, has come on to Washington
to lay a wreath on the coffin of the
unknown soldier to be entombed in
Arlington cemetery on Friday. How
many such mothers there may be in
Washington no one knows, but they
are but a handful to the myraid moth
ers who would do likewise if they
but could. .

South China to
Fight Decisions
Of Arms Meeting
Dr. Suu, Father of Chinese
Revolution, Reported oil
Way to Eslahlieh Capi
ital at Wuchang.
By PHILIP KINSLEY. .
Wellington, Nov. 10. "Just at
the United States senate fought and
dtfeated the Wilson prue treaty, to
will the government of fcoulh China
fight any plan for the icttlcment of j
China' affair that i accepted by
the official Chinese delegation to the
nrnu conference," aid Ma Soo, Pef"
sonal representative of Dr. Sun Vat
Sen, m he prepared to leave Wash
inetnn and the conference to its fate.
He is going to New York today
to emphasize the fact that South
China has no part in the proceedings
here.
On the eve of the conference, Dr.
Sun, father of the Chinese revolu
tion, is unrecognized and unrepre
sented here and advices from Canton
are that he has left thai capital for
Kwangsi province and is preparing to
march north to establish a new cap
ital at Wuchang, where he will be
more out of reach of the British
government that is opposing him.
His plan, it is said, is to lead three
columns, one from Kwangsi, where
he had found a store of ammuni
tion, another from Hunan and one
from Kwangtung. Gov. Chen Chung
Ming of Canton province has cabled
a new denial of the report that he
has broken with Dr. Sun. . '
' Political Move.
This latest move by the southern
forces is regarded by the Peking
delegates as purely political, made
for the benefit of the conference
and it is predicted that he will not
go far toward Wuchang. They re
lam a passive attitude and while ask
ing everything from the conference
in the way of complete freedom for
China, they eally expect little.
"China may be partitioned as
Poland was,' said Dr. Y. S. Tsao,
speaking not as a delegate, but as a
student of history.
"Then in 300 years there may be
another story to tell. The trouble is,
you western nations are in too much
of a hurry. You expect to settle
China's affairs in a few weeks. I
look upon this conference really as -
an indictment or western civilization
by eastern scholars. Japan has been
true to the wes. She says now,
through Baron Kato, 'Show us the
way to pull ourselves up by our own
boot straps and we will follow.
"The Versailles conference was

true to hiatory, the stronger dividing
the weak. The only hope that C'hiiu
has ii that the po"r were willing
to come to this conference to discus
possible new way." .
Vr. J, C, Fergucoi). adviser to the
Chinese government for many ye.ar,
and the Chinese delegates are op.
posing the idea of internationalizing
of China. The want to be left to
work out their own salvation, point,
in If out it would take big armies to
bend the Chinese people to the will
of foreigner.
The whole thing would result in
new squabbles among the interven
ing powers, Dr. Ferguson said, and
would leave China in a worse posi
tion. It i reported today that the Brit
ish are negotiating directly with the
Thibetans, in order to remove this
tiuestion from the field df the con
ierence.
