Unable To successfully combat the
logic OF the premier's representation
the emperor sought a last refuge In

council Immediately convened. -Four
elders responded and appeared before
his majesty at l o'clock Friday morn

and surprise was boundless when they
unanimously agreed with the minis

finally made up and he consented 70

placed fore him for his signature.
The emperor's condition was inde

Zeal was affixed amid impressive
silence.
A suppressed sigh from the emperor
was the only sound which broke the
deathlike stiffness that reigned
throughout the memorable scene.
