A new EMPEROR.
China's Old Ruler Abdicates in
Favor of a Boy.

Shanghai, Jan. 25.-The North China
Daily News publishes an edict signed
last night by Emperor Kwangsu ap-
pointing as emperor in his place Put
sing, the nine-year-oId son of Prince
Tuano. The new emperor will ascend
the throne on January 81.
London, Jan. 25.-The Chinese min
lister here was evidently expecting news
Of some important events at Pekin.
When the story of the emperor's abdi-
cation was communicated to him by a
representative of the Associated Press
he said:
Il have no official news on the sub
ject. 1 knew something was going on
in Pekin, but nothing has yet been Off
cially communicated to me. I am
greatly obliged for your Information" "
OLD WOMEN TOO MUCH FOR HIM.
Pekin. Jan. 25.-The imperial edict
Issued yesterday says that owing to the
emperor's poor health he is unable to
conduct the business of state, and ap-
points Pu Chun, son of Prince Tuano,
his heir.
The emperor, apparently. has been
compelled by the dOwager empress to
abdicate about the Chinese new year.
though it is understood this will meet
with considerable opposition in certain
court circles. The doWager however, in
tends to carry out the programme
which she has been planning for years.

because he has demonstrated by returns
from Kansas banks to his department
that the people of Kansas have now
more money than ever before in the
history of the state. They insist that
Breidenthal is working with the Re
publicans and the bankers. Some of

nounced that he is out of the race but
he has not yet made formal announce

will not do until the emissarieS of the
Topeka conference ascertain what can

for him. There is no doubt that Mr..
Rreidenthal wants to be governor of
Kansas He achieved success little short

It is true that he has held an appoinIiVe
office for several years and has made
the office amount to something, yet the
present circumstances embarrasS hlm
not a little He feels keenly the OppoSi-
ton among the members OF his own
party and appreciates the friendliness OF
the Democrats but he is confronted by
the announcement that the Leedy ana
I4eWelling forces will refuse to vote the
Populist or fusion ticket with Breiden-
thai at its head. This declaration on
the part of BreidenthaFs enemies is not
a matter of conjecture but those men

Committee Is Now Considering the

The committee selected by the state
teachers association to revise the

No definite conclusions were reached
last night beyond the adoption of the
suggestion that the humane idea.

up in the schools of Kansas.
The committee INDUCED in general
discussions and adjourned for a meet

times the members will make reports
upon the branches of work which each
has been assigned to investigate.

and at the clubs and other resorts there
was notable change from the gloomy
fears of yesterday. The appearance OF
the news placards on the streets sent
crowds of people to the war, office and

NOT SURE OF THEIR VICTORY.
London, Jan. 25.-As according to Gen.
Buffers dispatch the small garrison at
Spion KOp was surprised" his subSe-
quent statement: .Our losses We're
considera ble'' indicates that the British
suffered greatly later from the shell
fire from a farther Boer position.
The statement that there was only
small garrison at SpiOn Kop came
somewhat as a surprise as it was imag-
ined the Beers were there in great force
and it is taken in some quarters to in
oicate that the Beers were not so sur
prised at the assault as it appeared, but
previously drew off their main body and
left small force to withstand the Brit
ish advance.
1t is even suggested that the Beers
inveigled the British into occupying
Spion Kop and have now surrounded
them.
1t is evident in spite of the fact that
the British hold Potgieter's drift and
ceeded in bringing up enough artillery
to inflict considerable losses on the
British force which seized SpiOn KOp.
although Lord Dundonald is supposed
to have been securing the country be
yond the ranges in order to prevent this
very thing and although Gen. Lytleton
ought to have got near enough to Spion
Fop to either intercept the retreating
Beers or prevent a serious attack once
the British had taken possession of the
hill.
The American scout, F. r. Burnham,
now on his way back to South Africa,
expressed considerable satisfaction at
the capture of Spion KOp He said;
1T is evident that the Boer position
is being shaken and 1 do not think
it will be a long business now to drive
the Beers out of the Drakensburg. We
shall then reach rolling, open country,
where there is a chance to display tao
ties and undertake flanking move
ments and cavalry operations. But the
Beers are sure to make a most de-
termined stand around Pretoria. 1t
will not take long to reach the Boer
capital, but the siege of Pretoria viii be
long and difficult"
Burnham sails for South africa Sat
urday on board the Scot to take up his
appointment on Field Marshal Lord
Roberts personal staff He says Ingram
another scout, leaves San Francisco
forthwith to join him in South Africa.

JOHN HESlTATES.
Breidenthal Letter of With
drawaI Not Given Out.
Has Been Persuaded to Delay
the Publication.
SIMPSONS INFLUENCE.
Ex-COngressman Crges POpu-
list Leader to Reconsider.
Stay In the Race.
SIMPSONS INFLUENCE.

John w. Breidenthal is by no means
OUT of the race for the Populist nomi
nation for governor, and his letter of
withdrawal is being held in abeyance
until some of his friends ascertain if
it is safe for him to make the trial
This he will not attempt if he sees
anywhere along the line prospects of
defeat.
BreidenthaPs decision to withhold his
letter of withdrawal was reached at a
conference in this city the first of the
week. 1t is the result of a promise
made to the leading Democrats and to
jerry Simpson.
Participating in the Topeka confer
ence were ]. Mack Love- w. F. Sapp,
the president and general manager of
the Sunfiower Democratic league, DR..
c. W. Brandenburg, of Frankfort, Brei-
denthal and Jerry Simpson and others.
jerry Simpson came to Topeka one
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1900-01-25

day last week as he said, to look
around, thinking he might move his
Wichita paper here. This was bluff.
Simpson came to get Breidenthal to
withhold his letter of withdrawal from
the race for governor. and he succeeded
apparently, because the promised letter
has not yet appeared.
Simpsons next move, after obtaining
Breidenthars promise to delay matters
was to communicate with the Demo-
Gratis. They responded promptly, and
under the suise of holding a meeting of
the state executive committee to dis
cuss conventions and kindred subjects
they came to Topeka to confer with
Breidenthal. The meeting and its pur-
poses were to be kept secret, but the
evidence that such was the purpose of
the conference comes from a man who
says he was present.
Love. Brandenburg and Sapp, also
Simpson, argued with BreidenthaI upon
the proposition, claiming that he was
making a mistake in getting out of the
way Breidenthal is quoted as saying
in reply:
comes not from the Democrats, but
from the old-line Populists."
We'll guarantee the Democrats for
you" said Chairman J. Mack Love, If
you can get the POpulists in line
Let US try that scheme" suggested
Simpson. and in the meantime you
withhold your letter of withdrs wal, and
we will see what can be done"
To this arrangement Breidenthal as
sented, and this is accepted as the rea-
son why he has not retired from the
list of men ambitious to secure the
nomination.
Mr.. Breidenthal is at this time suf-
ferine from the industry of some of
his political enemies. That his enemies
are sowing poison which is taking root
is indicated by his admission that the
opposition which he so much regrets
comes from the members of his own pO
ntical party The opposition to Brei-
denthal is due to several causes, but
the most important of these is the
charge which comes from the Leedy
and LewelIing administrations The
friends of these two men are against
Breidentha1.
During the Leedy administration re-
ports of incompetency, mismanagement
and occasional charges of bOodling, the
secrets of the party leaders and inside
information concerning the party's af-
fairs made their way into the neWSpa-
pers of the state, particularly those pub
lished in Kansas City and Topeka.
Many of the published articles reflected
on the administration but Breidenthal
acknowledged high class service as
bank commissioner was always praised
bv the papers. This caused jealOusies
tion and they are now getting back at
Breidenthal by charging him with be-
traying the party'S secrets, or publica-
tion in Republican newspapers, to
avenge the wrongs which he imagined
had been perpetrated with him as the
object.
Again the enemies of Breidenthal are
at such a loss to find other things to
take issue with him concerning. and
they charge that he is half Republican,

TRADE IN METALS.
Practically a Deadlock as Buyers and
Sellers Are Far Apart

New York. Jan. 25.-Discussing the
condition of the iron and metal trades
the Iron Age says: The present is a
trying time for both sellers and buyers
since both are pretty far apart and
there is practically a deadlock in nearly
all the branches of the trade. Buyers
have the encouragement which may
come from the fact that there are some
signs of yielding prices.
Sellers hold that, considering the fact
that the severest test is applied to
values at this season of th4 year, the
markets show great inherent strength,
which in the opinion of many of them
may develop into a further upward
movement.
