AN ADMISSION OF GUILT.
Imperial Authorities Assume Partial
Blame for Boxer Outbreak.

BERLIN, Oct. 27.-A Shanghai despatch
to the "Lokai Anzeiger" states that a
secret edict, which was issued on Octo-
Der Il, declares that the Emperor and
Empress Dowager do not consider them
selves free from blame for the Boxer re-
bellien. although they have punished the
personages who protected the rebels. The
edict says:
I'VE intend to enter into peace negotia-
tons for which purpose We will return to
Pekin at the earliest possible opportunity
In order to tranduilize our imperial an
cestors we will not stay long at Hsian-
flu. Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang
have so far accomplished nothing with
the Ministers and Pekin is full of foreign
troops. When the Independence of China
is guaranteed we will have a basis for
negotiations and the court will return
within a reasonable time. Meantime We
hope the Viceroys and governors will
keep their territories intact and supply
the court with arms, provisions, and
money"

in the vicinity OF the depot to cheer MIR.
Bryan and the carriage was Just ap-
preaching the crowd when one of the reins
snapped in two. In an instant the ex-
cited horses became unmanageable and
were just making ii break when the atten-
lion of the police was called to Bryan's
-cril by woman screaming: "Oh, my
God: he'll be killed, Look at the horses

Six stalwart bluecoats made plunge
for the horses heads and had them under

him until it was all over.

souri, this afternoon and an informal re-
ception by the Loyal Legion tonight, the
two days celebration in St Louis In

Probably 5o0.ec0 people, including 7boco
from outside points. stood patiently for

AZ some points Of the parade the crowds
were so great that the police were ut
terly helpless. and dozens of bruised and
fainting w-uen and crying children were
rescued on by the use OF clubs in some
cases the helpless ones being carried out
over the heads OF an almost immovable
mass of people
In front of the grand stand at the ex-
position building the crowd got beyond
the control OF a hundred policemen. and
for an hour before the parade reached that
point packed the street from curb to curb
for distance OF three blocks, narrow
passageway for the parade finally being
cleared with great difficulty.
AT this point. almost exactly under the
spot where the admiral stood. horse be-
longing to an officer OF the Culver mill
tary academy became frightened and in
an instant had thrown his rider and plung-
ed into the mass of men. women and chill
dren. Rearing and kicking. he tore his
way through the crowd along the side
walk half the length OF the grand stand
before he was finally brought under con-
troll. leaving over a dozen persons pros
trated and bleeding on the walk. Most
of them were only slightly hurt but one
man and two women kicked or trampled
on by the craxed animal were carried TO
nearby drug stores.
Over the entire length OF the line of
march. extending for nearly six miles. the
admiral was given SO hearty q reception
that he was kept bowing and dofYing his
hat continually.
The line of march was as follows:
