A DENIAL

• London, December 25. Official circles in London deny that Britain and Japan are in co-operation .vith a view to the raa'ntenance of a nonarchial government m" China. The ifforts of Britain and other Powers wore directed in assisting China to secure efficient government based on popular approval. Reuter’s Pekin correspondent reports that the Government-fears that die conference a-fb'Shangliai will fail. Both sides are using the armistice to strengthen their mil:tary.,„.po sit ion s. It : s stated that the rebels are preparing to march northwards via Fnkqw. Advices from Shanghai state that Yuan-Shih-Kai’s hesitation to summon the national convention is due to a groundless fear of an Anglo-Japan-ose crusade in support of the dynasty. REVOLUTION TRIUMPHANT. (Received 27, 9.-10 a.m.) Pekin, December 26. The revolution is triumphant in twelve provinces, and chaos reigns in three others, while the loyalty of Chili, Honan, and Shantung arc shaken, md the Imperial authority has virtually disappeared in Mongolia and Central Asia. The republicans at Shanghai demand an immediate reply from Yuan-Shih-Kai. Otherwise they will elect Sun-Yat-Sen president. AN INSULTING PROCEEDING. (Received 27, 9.55 a.m.) Melbourne, December 27. The Young China League has forwarded a letter to the Chinese ConsulGeneral stating;—“Von were exceedingly disrespectful to the republican feeling of the Chinese residents of Australia- in hoisting the dragon flag on the receipt of reports of Imperial victories.” The letter suggests that if the Consul wishes to remain a servitor under the Manchus he should return to Pekin immediately. He might be able to render more service when the republican army marches triumphantly to that city.
