EMPEROR OF CHINA.
Issues a Number Of Edicts Which
StartIe Officials.

PEKING, Sept. ia remarkable
series of imperial edicts has been pub
lished during the past few days. The
edicts have startled the officials, while
making a favorable impression upon
the old foreign residents, who are usu
ally skeptical as to the practical value
of such orders.
The Emperor has addressed to the
people a long explanation of his new
policy, declaring that in many respects
western civilization is superior to the
existing order in his dominion, and an
nouncing his intention to adopt it's good
features and discard the bad ones.
The most radical edict establishes a
postal service throughout the empire
In it the Emperor asks the people to
cooperate with him in making the
newly established system a success, as
suring them that they will thus aid in
Strengthening the resources of the en-
pire.
A fresh edict followed extending prac-
tically to everybody the right to mem
orialize the throne, a privilege hereto
fore restricted to certain classes.
The latest edict commands that
monthly accounts be rendered of the
Government receipts and expenditures
everywhere, and that these accounts
be published.
The Emperor directs that the edicts
be posted throughout the country, in
order that the people may see the en-
deavors to promote the welfare which
he is making.

GENERAL SHAFTER.
Will Soon Assume Command of
Department Of California.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Major
Generals Bates and Summer, who We're
prominent in the Santiago campaign,
reported at the War Department to-
day. They are expecting a new assign
ment under the plan which is contem
plated for the distribution of troops.
They have been at Montauk, but the
breaking up of the camp there leaves
many officers unassigned and without
duty.
General Miles, with whom they con-
ferred, has been very busy with his
not reached a point which makes OBJ
tainable definite information to where
the troops or commanding officers will
go.
1t is almost settled that General
Shafter will return to San Francisco
and resume command of the Depart
ment of California. Such is his 6e-
sire and no doubt it will be complied
with
The probability that a number of
general and staff volunteer officers will
be dispensed with has caused consd-
cradle discussion among those who
may be among the number to be drop

remain in the service, and influence
is already being brought to bear to
keep them on the rolls of the War De-

whom they have placed in power, they
have been searching the Congressional
records and racking their brains to
find some damaging accusation which
they can sustain against u.s. But they
have not found it, and they will not
find it. The record of the Democratic
party throughout the last and stirring
session of Congress is absolutely above
all criticism. | do not say it with the
purpose of claiming any credit for my
self, but as a matter of simple justice
to my Democratic associates L declare
that in all the history of this Govern
men no minority party ever passed
through a war session of Congress
with so much credit as did the Demo-
Gratis of the present Congress.
THE only important vote which we
believed at the time we cast it could
ever become the subject of a reasonable
controversy was our vote against the
war revenue bill, and events have COM
pletely vindicated our course in re-
spect to that measure. We opposed the
passage of that bill because we be-
lieved that it authorized an unneces-
sary sale of interest-bearing bonds,
and the condition of the treasury proves
conclusively that we We're right. When
Congress convenes in December next
it will find that the surplus in the
Treasury above the one hundred mill
ions of gold reserve will exceed the
amount received from the sale of
bonds, thus demonstrating that there
was no necessity for the Government
to sell it's bonds"

"For months Republican politicians

At this juncture the congregation

DISASTERS ON THE LAKES.
Dense Smoke and Fog Cause Much

The cause of the smoke seems to be

from fires in the far Northwest, sew

TROUBLE AT CLEVELAND.
Pitched Battle Between Strikers
and Non-Union Men.

CLEVELAND (O), Sept. 19.-As a
result of an attempt of twenty ytwo
non union men to enter the works of
the American Wire Company to-day,
where a strike has been on for some
time past, a pitched battle took place
between the strikers and the nom union
workmen. Clubs, stones and slungshots
We're freely used, and while no one
was seriously injured, a number of
men We're severely bruised and cut.
It is alleged that the trouble was
started by a non-union man throwing
pepper into the eyes of striker who
was endeavoring to prevent the former
from entering the works. The strikers
closed in, and in a few minutes there
was a mass Of struggling and fighting
men. Upon the appearance of the po-
lice the rioters dispersed. Only one
arrest was made. The non union men
did not get in the works.

Scheming to Possess an Island in
the Philippine Group.
Would Like to Gain Control Of Cehu, Where
Coal is Said to Be Plentiful.
IF She Could Get Possession Of This
Island She Could Relinquish
Her Coaling Station at Kiao
Chau, Which She Recently OBJ
tanned From China.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia special to
the Herald from Washington says:
AS an Indication that Germany has
been scheming to share in the DISPOSE
ton of the Philippines, the authori-
ties have learned that, according to in
structions from Berlin, the German
Commander-in-Chie of the Asiatic
station has made an exhaustive inves-
tigation of the coal deposits of the
islands. He was assisted by a German
engineer, who had been temporarily
assigned to his squadron for the spe-
cial purpose of locating coal. The en-
ginser conducted a thorough investi-
cation, and his report, which has been
submitted to the Berlin Government
through Vice Admiral Won Diedrich,
shows that the best Ignite deposits are
located on the island of Cebu, one of
VisayaS group.
This information has been received
from one Of the representatives of this
Government in Germany, and has been
considered of sufficient Importance to
be presented to the Peace Commission
ers for their consideration.
Such an island is Cebu, reports of
which have been received, showing
that Ignite of good quality is found
there in large quantities. Germany
would find Cebu exceedingly valuable
as coaling station, and it would not
necessitate the establishment of a coal
pile at Kiaochou, which she recently
obtained.
Aware of Germany's proceedings, the
authorities are taking precautions to
prevent the consummation of any plan
which will enable them to reach frui-
lion. The Berlin Government, by the
reduction of it's fleet in Manila Bay,
gave an indication of its desire to re-
main on friendly terms with this Gov
ernment While regretting the main
tenance of such large force at Mania,
no protest was made by this Govern
ment, and the action of Germany in re-
ducing it's naval force was entirely vol
untary. The report made by the Ger
man engineer explains to the officials
why the German vessels were steaming
to the islands.
1t is no longer a secret that Germany
is the only nation from which the Gov
ernment apprehends trouble in the set
tIement of the Philippine question, and
it is to avert the commitment of an
overt act that the President determined
to so strengthen Rear Admiral Dewey's
command as to make it superior to
the German fleet in Asiatic waters. The
battleships Oregon and Iowa will start
for Manila, via Cape Horn and Homo
lulu, next Saturday or Sunday, by
which time it is expected that all re-
pairs will be in readiness. Leaves of
absence have been given to the officers
until the latter part of the week, but no
extension will be given, it being desired
to get the ships away without delay.
