YUAN-SHIH-KAI POISONED.
NEARLY LOST HIS LIFE.
(By Cable. —Press Association.—Copyrig-ht.) (Received August 31st, 5.5 p.m.) TOKIO, August 30. It has now for the first time been revealed that Yuan-shih-kai's action in precipitately massing the northern troops on the Yangtze-kiang was due to agents of the southern rebels poisoning him with arsenic. He lay in a stato of collapse for many clays, and only the most violent medical methods eventually saved his life.
