REPORTED AUSTRIA
CHINESE POPULACE
IN HOSTILE MOOD
A. A- Service.
HONGKONG, Dec. 23.-Reports ar
riving here from the Chinese coast In
dicate that the masses of the Chinese
people are far from agreeable to the
change In the government and a seri
ous rebellion Is probable. The action
of the Chinese parliament in offering
the throne to Yuan is generally recog
nized by the Chinese as a piece of poli
tical Juggling and by no means rep
resentative of the wishes of the peo
ple.
It Is universally recognized through
out China that Yuan hold* tha whip
hand through controlling the military
forces and this alone is preventing '
the populace from manifesting their
displeasure In an open manner. The
wily Yuan has made no attempt as
yet to have his official change confirm
ed, evidently recognizing that action j
of that nature will probably preclpi- j
tate trouble.
