to be Indifferent respecting tha mo
mentous visit.
Telecrams have been received from va
rious sections of tiia country embodying
varloua proposals with respect to the
future capital. It Is believed that Tuan
Blil Kal Is secretly inspiring this with
tha object of dividing the south an the
matter of the location of the capital.
While Tuan Bht Kal realises tha Im
perativeness of uniting the country, be
Is proceeding confidently in tha knowl
edge that ha possesses tho means of con
verting or politically defeating his op
ponents. Apparently tha country la very
strongly In favor of Yuan Shi Kal as
president. Many soldiers, who are not
republican, have given their full adher
ence to the president-elect, and Tuan
Shi Kal holds tha confidence of both
Manchu and Chines, which Indicates
that tha suspicions thai ha was double
dealing for the court's overthrow were
unwarranted.
The new government has decided that
the country shall bereatter be officially
styled "Tha Great Republic of China,
tha word "great" being Intended to In'
elude Thibet. Turkestan, Mongolia and
Manchuria. It baa practically been de

cover the ground, late last fall we bad
plenty of rain and th grain attained a
wonderful growth. In fact, when winter
cam on It was matted all over the
ground. Then th snow cam and re

beneficial as a coating of fertiliser, and
now that tb snow haa goo and we have
had a tew warm daya the grala haa com

week I hav seen hundreds t acres f
wheat that bas a color such as you would
expect to see the middle of April. Al

bushels of wheat per acre for th coming
