PTIAXGIIAI. China, IVc. K-Thc com
liig week will bs perliapj the most notable
In tho history of tho revolution In China.
Tang-SSIiao-YI, llio imperial plenipoten
tiary, appointed fcy 1'remier Yuen-Fhl-Kai
to negotiate terms of peace with
the victorious rnvolutlonarlcs is lo arrive
in ShuriKhal on Sunday.
, On their arrlvnl hern they will have
traveled about MX) miles along the river
Yang-Tpc, which Is pntro'.ed by a score
"f revolutionary cruisers and gunboats.
Tanfi-Shno-Yl will not In fact have seen
nn Imperial soldier or a yellow flair since
hi left Hankow.
Included in Tans-Shao-Yi's pnrtjr are
two leading officials, Yen Shi FS, con
nected with tho board of finances, and
Yant; Sho Chi, former president of the
hoard of communications, who will act
as his counsellors.
He also has with him twenty-two repre
sentative of different provinces of
China, who have been selected by Tro
mlcr Yuan-Shl-Kal to offnet tho revolu
tionary convention, now sitting at Nan
king. Tour representatives of General IS.
Yuen Hen, the revolutionary leader, are
t ravelin? on the fame boat with Tang-Shao-1'1
and hi.s parly.
Wu 'ring-fang, former Chinese minister
at Washington ar.d recently selected as
foreign minister of the republic cabinet,
who Is directing the reception of Tang-Shao-YI,
will eend two representatives to
meet the party at 1U landing at the
settlement.
The municipality of Shanghai lias of
fered the town hall for the meetings of
the peace conference. This proposal al
ready has been acoepted by Wu-TIng-fang
on tho condition Tang-Shao-Yl ap
proves. The best observers among the Influ
ential Chinese believe there Is a good
chance of a settlement being made
through mutual concessions.
Demand New Dynasty,
The republicans at present are de
termined to demand that the dynasty be
brought to a close and that the Manchus
as a class or clan be merged with the
Chinese, together with their dependen
cies. On this point a compromise eventually
may he reached, namely, that the em
peror be retained as a Chinaman at the
head of a new dynasty. It may be that
lie will be become constitutional mon
arch, with a regent to be elected by the
people, but on. an extremely limited
franchise. '
The national congress, if the proposition
Is accepted, wlll have Its members elected
by, apch province and will control the
lmpial finances as well as the army
and navy. Each province, however, will
be autonomous In regard to its own
affairs and will elect Its own governor.
There Is reason to believe that if the
revolutionaries concede the question of a
republic Yuan-Shl-Kal will accept their
lerms. The chief difficulty appears to be
with the hotheads, students and extrem
ists, who are- demanding . a republlq,

MOON DECISION IS DELAYED
Boston Man Fatally
Shoots His Son and
Commits Suicide
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16-6amucl 1
Ayers of Boston shot and probably fatally
wounded his eon at a hotel early today
and then committed suicide.
Avers and his son had been here about
three months. The older man lost his
wife some time ago and remarked yes
terday to a chance acquaintance In a
barber shop that he had nothing now to
live for and wished to die.
Joseph Ayers, the son, was shot tn
the back of the head. The bullet pene
trated his brain, but surgeons said he had
a slight chance of recovery.
The double tragedy occurred at fl::
o'clock this morning. Father and son
occupied adjoining rooms. It is supposed
that the elder man entered his con's
room and after firing a bullet into the
latter's head, hurried back to his own
apartments and committed suicide. A
bullet entered his mouth and almost tore
the top of his head off.
Soon after coming to California, Sam
uel Ayers purchased a ranch at Beau
mont, near Riverside. Apparently the
family was well to do. Pass books showed
considerable deposits in several banks.
BOSTON, Dec. 16. Tho ' only Samuel
Ayres in the Boston directory Is Samuel
L. Ayers, a widely known business man.
Mr. Ayers said he never heard of the
man in Los Angeles.

GARFIELD, PINCHOT AND
CLAPP WILL TOUR OHIO
COLUMBUS, O., Dec. JC To Impress on
Ohio republicans that Theodore Roose
velt will not be a candidate for the presi
dential election of 1912, John D. Fackler,
secretary of the Ohio Progressive league,
today 'completed arrangements for a
speech-making tour of the state by I'nlted
States Senator Moses E. Clapp of Minne
sota, Glfford Plnchot, former I'nlted
States forester; James R. Garfield of
Cleveland and Louis D. Brandels of
Boston.
Because Plnchot and Garfield are cred
ited with having the entire confidence of
Colonel Roosevelt, progressive leaders
hope their words will eventually allay
any Roosevelt sentiment among Ohio
progressives and will pave the way for
the smooth progress of the La Follette
campaign.
