PROVINCES OF CHINA VOTE FOR MONARCHY

Reported That Fifteen Out of Eighteen Have Decided in Favor of Abandoning Republic.

PEKING, Nov. 6.—Fifteen of the eighteen provinces of China are said by the government to have voted in favor of a monarchy.

The minister of foreign affairs, Lu Cheng-Hsiaag. made this statement to M. Obat, secretary of the Japanese legation, in explaining why, in its opinion, the government could not legally defer the decision of the people concerning the proposa) t'j rr-establish a monarchy. M. Obat visited the foreign office and asked L.u Cheng-Hsiang to explain more definitely China's reply to the request for postponement of the decision, made by Japan, Great Britain, France and Russia. He said Japan was uncertain whether the government still intended to make a speedy change.

The foreign minister contended China was misrepresented by reports that hasty action wai contemplated, and pointed to the advanced state hich the elections already had reached. He assured M. Obat the "hinese government was considering the friendly advice of the powers in the same spirit in which it was offered.

It is reported from a reliable source that the government may request the council of state, acting as parliament, to legalize a postponement of the monarchical restoration should it be finally decided upon.

The French, British and Russian ministers have not asked China to explain her reply, as it was considered by them to be satisfactory.

In fact, the local wholesale druggists have refused to sell more than a limited amount of certain drugs.

Quinine is now selling for $2.75 an ounce. It could have been bought wholesale for 50 cents an ounce a few months ago. Glycerine is selling wholesale at the present for GO cents a pound, wlslch is an increase of 35 cents. Permanganate of potash is quoted at $1.75 a.pound in comparison with 30 cents a pound, the price of six months ago. All bromides have increased from 40 cents a pound to $4 a pound.
