CHINESE EMPRESS DECIDES FOR
A GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE
IMPORTANT OFFICIAL ANNouN CEMENT MADE BY THE sECRE
TARY CHINESE EMBASSY AT WASHINGTON TO
THE STAFF CORRESPONDENT THIS NEWSPAPER.

(people is ignored. The government
endeavors to carry out the will Of
the people. 1t could not afford to
do otherwise.
But it is believed that the time
has come for a better system for
the expression of the popular will.
The methods of the Chinese politi-
, cal system have not kept abreast
of the times. Such, at least, is the
belief of the empress, and the high
officials of the government who are
her advisers.
They want to look into the prac-
teal working of the system by
which the people participate in the
government of constitutional mon
arches like Great Britain and Ger
many, and of constitutional repub
lies like the United States and
Switzerland.
What measure of popular fran
chise may be granted to the Chin
csc it is impossible to say. That
is a problem for the empress and
her government. The commission
is not empowered to put into eff
feet; only to recommend.
The embassy has made no plans
as yet for the entertainment of the
commissioners while in Washing
ton. II will take six weeks perhaps
before the commission can reach
Washington. They are just now
starting from China. No doubt
they will be received by President
Roosevelt and will take advantage
of the opportunity to ask him ques
tions and to secure his opinion on
popular government"
Mr.. Yu Chuan Chang, who was
one of the party of Chinese stu
dents sent to Washington to be
educated in western sciences and
economy, was recalled by cable
from trip in Europe and ordered
to report to the commission when
it arrives in New York. He is now
waiting its appearance there.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. IL
What is likely to be regarded by
history as one of the most import
ant events in the present century
is contained in the announcement,
which comes officially from the
Chinese embassy here, that the &C.
lestial empire has decided to fol-
low the lead of Russia and adopt
a constitutional form of govern
ment.
Mr.. Chang Chuan, secretary of
the embassy, said to the CORE
spondent of The Press today;
China has decided to adopt a
more advanced and popular form of
representative government. The
embassy has been. advised that the
empress dowager has appointed a
distinguished commission to come
to the United States to study the
American constitution and form of
popular government.
THE commission, which will
comprise some 40 of the most ad-
vanced Chinese publicists, will Wis
it America, Great Britain and other
countries, and will prepare a re-
port for the empress.
The reason for this? A desire
by the Chinese to have the best
that there is. An awakening? Well,
the agitation has been going on
now for 10 years, There have
been demands for reform. There
has been a party in China advocat-
ing more radical measures. At last
this commission has been appoint
ed and the people have been as
sured that they will be granted a
more modern political system.
Il knew it has been the general
idea here that the Chinese people
have no part in the government.
That is not a correct idea. The
people of China express their de-
sires, and | do not hesitate to say
that no general demand of the
