SHANGHAI, China. Dec. 31. The rapid
developments which have occurred since
the arrival here of Dr. Sun Yat Sen are
almost bewildering, but careful observa
tion demonstrates that the provisional
president controlu the situation. Today
he received a large number of congratu
latory dispatches from Europe and Amer
ica, while locally he has been tendered
numerous receptions and banquets.
.Many foreign newspapers have sent film
telegraphic requests for a Btatement, but
Dr. Sun has declined In all cases. He
accepts all congratulations modestly and
has appeared for only a few minutes-at
public functions to which lie has been
Invited. Thioughout the day he received
a. stream of prominent callers and this
evening was entertained at dinner by
forty of "the principal Japanese commer.
clal men and now. visitors to fenanghal.
One of the significant developments to
day occurred at a conference between
Tang Shao VI. who came here as Premier
Yuan Shi Kai's representative, and Dr.
Wu Ting Fang, leader of the republicans
at the peace conference, when it de
veloped that Premier Yuan Shi Kal had
authorized Tang Shao Yi to Ignore the Im
perial edict calling the national conven
tion. This leaves the arrangements for
the national convention entirely in the
hands of Tang Shao Yl ad Wu Ting
Fang.
(narrntlos Within Ten Days.
It is understood In authoritative quar
ters that the convention will be held
within ten days and that the delegates
will be practically the same as those who
elected Dr. Sun president at the Nanking
convention on December 27. Possibly,
however, delegates from Mongojla and
Thibet will be added.
Wu Ting Fang asserts that the dele
gates now In Nanking are properly ac
credited by either the governors of their
provinces or by the provincial assembly,
Dr. Sun Informed the Associated Press
that the assertion that the future pro
gram of the revolutionists Involves the
separation of the Chinese provinces into
autonomous republic Is entirely er
roneous. According to their plans
strong central government is to be
organised and a parliament representa
tive of the people elected. ICach province
will select Its own governor. No provin
cial armies axe contemplated as both the
array and navy are to be made national
institutions and will be under the control
ot parliament In the same way as the
finances.
The entire governmental system Is to
be remodelled and modernised and the
whole fiscal system Is to be adjusted on
up to date methods. The Income of the
country Is ample to discharge Its liaMIl
ties and to defray ordinary expenses.
Construction of a system of railways Is
to be pushed forward aa rapidly as pos
Ible, care being taken to avoid arous
Ing the suspicions ar.d prejudices of the
people, who must be made to feel that
the future of China Is dependent upon
the Chinese themselves. They must also
be taught self-reliance.
There Is reason to believe that Dr. Bun
and his advleers fully realise the magoi
tude of their task and also that the main
details. Including the appointment of,
strong executive officials and organiser
have been decided ' upon. Most Of them
It Is assumed haye been associated with
Dr. Sun but up to now have not been.
definitely appointed.
Dr. Sun doubtless has discussed his
full program with prominent men In
Europe and America. His principal ad
vlBer, however, ha not yet come to the
front.
Yuan Holds Heceptlon.
PEKING, Dec. Sl.-Yuan Shi rial re
ceived several forolgn correspondents
together this evening In the Walwaupu
building where he has both his office and
residence. The approaches were heavily
guarded by soldiers with fixed bayonets.
Tents covered the grounds surrounding
the building. The premier, who Is be
lieved to be constantly In danger of
assassination, and therefore takes the
most precautions, Is a heavy set, gray
haired man, between 5o and 60 years old.
He appeared unusually large In several
thlcltnessrs of winter robes.
Yuan Shi Kat gave It to be understood
that ho wanted' a 'true referendum on
the question of a republic; he was op
posed to hasto because of the danger
that the Shanghai conference would not
bo representative'. ' ' ' '
Replying to a question as to whether
the Shanghai demands would bo met, he
said the matter was for tho difleient
imperial clans to deieiiiutw In order
to carry on the administration he de
clared money was needed and the princes
had not come forward sufficiency in that
an ect Ion. lie aided that If the rebels
advanced, tho imperial troops would en
gage them.
Will Consider Abdication.
There will be another meeting at the
palace tomorrow of the empress dowager,
lite premier and tho Imperial princes.
iue only queMiou for their consideration
is that ot a uncling or ulsgorging
their riches. Yuan Shi Kal relates to
abide by the agreement etueieu into by
rang btiao Yi, inn uw.i lepreseiuauve
uud Wu Ting Fang, Hie 1'cpuuucan rtp
leseutauve. Ho lias sent several tem
grama tu biiaugnal, uctually approving
umy the continuation ol tut arm.stlce.
I uaii inuicaied that he may wuiidiaw
iiiu Impel tul lioups, but it is evident he
does not nueiid to withdraw them, as de
manded wltimi live days.
He maue no mention of the suggested
ten days limit tu Uio convocation of the
national assembly. Ulih reterence to
mo withdrawal ot the government troops
one hundred 11 (3i miles) from their pres
ent positions, he said he lias no ob
jection to this, but added that It will be
impossible to remove the heavy artillery
MlUiin the stipulated time.
The interruption of telegraphic communi
cation, hu pointed out, will prevent noti
fication of the several columns within
li.e same period. ...
Jn his telegrams to shanghai the pre
mier asked whether the revolutionaries
themselves will ' agree to the contract
loans during the negotiations, as they
themselves stipulate In the case of the
Imperialists, and also whether small
loans for local government purposes re
to be Included In the stipulation; what
measures are suggested to prevent atroci
ties by numerous robbers, and what guar
anty the revolutionaries will give not to
enlist brigands.
The iiatlonal assembly, which has re
sumed Its sittings, has declared against
th republic. The southern members, how
ever, have absented themselves from the
sessions. Reports are being circulated
casting doubt on Yuan Shi Kai's loyalty.
which, among the well Informed, is coo
aldered beyond question, although his po
sition is a difficult one owing to the sus
picion of the lanchus and the growing
sympathy of all the Chinese toward the
revolutionaries.

(From a Staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-iSpeclul Tele
gram.) The Interstate Commerce com
mission yeMerduy rendered a decision In
the case of Dcusiier company of Omaha
against the I'nlon Pacific railroad by
ordering the complaint dismissed. It ap
pears that the Pewshcr company Is an
unincorporated concern and Is a business
name adopted by A. II. Ilewsher, Its sole
proprietor, who Is engaged In selling
grain for shippers on the Omaha mar
ket. By his petition, filed last February,
the complainant uttacked as unjust and
unreasonable the practice of the defend
ant relative to I lie form of signature re
quired to Its vouchers.
1'nder the defendant's way of doing
business It tenders claimants' vouchers
In the nature of sight drafts and pre
scribes rules as to signature to these
drafts. Bewsher received one of these
Uht drafts, but failed to follow the form
of signature laid dowu by the company
and as a result payment was refused.
Hewsher complained to tho Interstate
Commerce commission, asking for a
modification of the defendant's regula
tions, but the commission found the com
plaint without merit.

Nebraska.
The resignation of Rev. Ralph II.
Houseman as pastor of the Castellar
Htreet I'resbyterlan church came as a
surprise to the congregation SabUuth
morning. l'or eight months the office of
educational superintendent of Sunday
school work for the Tresbyterlan church
for the Btato has been tendered Ilev. Mr,
Houseman. He liud been unanimously
selected by a committee of church leaders
of the state for this position. About Ie
cember 1 the position was declined and
Mr.' Houseman hod so notified his church.
Subsequent circumstances have so con
spired ns to lead him to reopen the prop
osition and begin tho new work Febru
ary 1, 1913.
The labors of Mr. Houseman In the
t'afU'llur church have run through the
best purl of four years. Ills parish,
which Is the largest of a Protestant char
acter In the south and southeast section
of the city, has been doing a strong work
throughout Its twenty-five years' of his

Mrs. Houseman's labors with this
church have been of the highest order.
Wise In council, sealous In execution, sue
has been a fine helper to her husband.
Tho beginner department of the Sunday
school o which she is superintendent Is
pronounced the largest and most thor
oughly organized of any In Nebraska.
Ilev. Mr. Houseman referred, in his
rehlgnatlon yesterday morning, to the new
position tender"d him as one In line with
that modern conception of the Sunday
school which ranks It as potentially the
greatest organized asset of the church.
The Presbyterian church, he said, was
laying most definito plans to Improve the
schools of Its faith and bring out their
latent poweis. In his renlgnallon, which
he read, he explained the office of edu
cational suiwrlntendent as aiming not at
quantitative Sunday school work, that is,
the organisation and multiplication of
Sunday schools. The church has good
men in the field already doing this com
mendable work, liathcr, the office alms
at a qualitative Sunday school work, that
Is. the Improvement of existing schools.
Tho encumbent of this office must en
deavor to help pactors and Sunday school
lenders to Introduce Improved methods,
modern ciirrlitila. pedagogical principles
of teaching and organization, organized
classes whero practicable, teachers' train
ing claHes, cducatloiiHl phases along
temperance, missionary and vocational
lines, und, In short, to hold Institutes
among tho churches of the state and ad
dles congrtgatl'in as to the Sunday
school prospective of the denomination.
The. position Is a comparatively new one
to the denomination, the Presbyterian
church having hut four men already In
the I'UM. Oolur states are seeklpg men
and the number engaging In this particu
lar specialty will soon be Increased
