PEKING, Nov. U. The throne and gov
ernment alternated between hope and
Cetfpair today. Thin morning a telegram
was received from Yuan Shi Kai In which
bo said ho was unable to come to Peking
and expressed a pessimistic view of the
situation. A tecond message coming sev
eral hours later struck a more cheerful
Bote.
The dispatches v.tto directed to the for
eign board and in tho f!r:;t Yuan Shi Kai
aid the "outlook in decidedly gloomy.
X do not exptct to bo able to effect the
dciiired pacification. Moreover my health
Is bo. feeblo that I urn unable to come, to
Poking and a.'sumo the post of premier."
Gloom nettled deeper over the official
family when this was read, for they
had in mind yesterday's announcement
of the Chinese that Yuan Shi Kai had
been Invited by. General Lt Yuan Hens,
the leader of the revolutionists, to be
come president of the republic of China,
ponding the assembling of Parliament.
Last Prop Goar.

tho throne had given way, for the ex

who ns the real commander of the Twen.

legiance to the government, rested on
the assumption that-he world meot In
eotiference Yuan Sill Kul and Hsl-Llang,
former viceroy of Manchuria. ' .
Yuan's second telegram, however, was
a cheering; surprise. It Informed the for
eign board tliat negotiations with Gen
eral 1.1 Yuan Hepg hud taken a- turn
for the better and that General LI had
showed si an a dt becoming less irreconei
able and possibly would agree to a peace
ful compromise in onlcr to avert further
bloodshed. Y'lian added that Li's col
leagues differed on matters of policy and
that trouble might arise among them.
The president of the foreign board
hurried to the quarters of Prince Ching,
the acting premier with the latest dis
putches and Chine lost no time In con

'We believe It to be the right and duty
of the heir to the throne to take an in

'Ave further do not detsiro that the

place; not, however, in tho way chosen
In the Reichstag, the effect of which we
consider extremely grave.
- "It goes without question that the epi
sode and the press comments thereupon
wore reported to the emperor, and the
absence of the crown prince at Friday's
sitting was due to the emperor, to whom
Thursday's events and the considerations
involved therein cr.nnot be agreeable."
Tho crown prince will return- to Danzig

Officers Search for
Fortune Hidden by
Convict Now Dead
NKW YORK, Nov. ll.-Actlng on In
formation received from St. Louis, the
district attorney's office here today
began a quiet quest for SC't.OnO stolen by
the late Duvld Rothschild, the wrecker
of tho Federal bank In l'MH. This sum Is
said to have been deposited by him
under the assumed name of Levi In two
safety deposit vaults, where the money
ihs remained since.
From the date of his conviction May
30, im. until his deatli in Sing Sing on
November JS, llKtt, itottischlld steadfastly
refused to give any Information regard
ing the locution of Ida hidden treasure,
which at the time was supposed to total
only j:'70,C.
Tho fact that tho actual sum stolon
by Rothschild was $422,000 and not f270,
000, Is said' to have been revealed In a
confession made by Rothschild's wife In
Kt. Louis, where she Is now living, buy
ing married again. Most of the treasuie
Is said to have been in a safety deposit
vault In Jersey City, but the former
Mrs. Rothschild declares she cannot re
call the iiamo pf the bank. It la be
lieved that the records of the safety de
posit companies must show the transac
tion. Rothschild came to New York from
Cincinnati about twenty years sgo, and
for many years wus a familiar figure at
resorts where gambling fur high stakes
was an amusement. Ilo embarked In th
