Ediet Declared Approved.

The government has given out that the
dowager empress in a lucid interval on
Friday last received Prince Ching, who
is a Manchu and a member of the royal
family, and approved the edicts declar-
ing Prince Pu VI heir presumptive and
Prince Chun regent to the empire. Prince
Chun was at the beginning of the Boxer
outbreak lord chamberlain of the court
and commando of the Pekin field forces
1t was him that the foreign officials
depended. He has had many of the po-
sitions and was high in imperial favor.
That the dowager empress took this
step is dfscredited. Nevertheless she is
believed to have successfully established
the Chun regime. which is the Manchu
regime, without objection, and the opin-
ion is held here that this solution of
the difficulty which has confronted the
government is the best possible
Disorder Not Feared.
Until word of the death is spread
broadcast no disorders are apprehended
China is Quieter now than at any time
since 1900 Local disorders in the south
are possible on any pretext, but the north
is more inclined to peace. There are
few signs of antagonism to foreigners.
and there is no manner of doubt that
Prince Chun will be able to meet the
situation. He is recognized as thorough
ly progressive and is the most acceptable
man that could be chosen TO those most
disposed to cause trouble. the reformers.
Antagonism on the part of the cOnserva-
tlves. and even an insurrectiOnary move
ment is conceivable, because the death
of the powerful woman who dominated
all. and the weakling emperor. swept
away the old palace eorruptionists.

The day proved 10 be "a busy one for

at the White House as the president
guest and breakfasted with the family
During the forenoon the president and
preSident-elect discussed matters pertain
ing to the present and the incoming ad-
ministratons. No announcement was
made as to the particular topic of dis
cussiOn, although Judge Taft adroitly adj
mitted that it was not the weather.

Tariff Hearings.

Nothing other than to say that if per-
sOnal inclinationS were TO scootrol me
would find more pleasure IN what / do
for them than In any other line"
When his attention was called to the
hearings now being held by the ways and
means committee of the house. looking
toward the revision of the tariff, he said
that now is the time for the interests
that have been asking for a revision to
come forward and produce their argu-
ments- He was asked if he had noticed
the reference by Democrats on the COM
mittee TO his views in regard to the
tariff on products of the Philippines.
Yes, but the remarks were not fright
ening nor novel" he replied. My ex-
periences with the Democrats in regard
to the tariff are that they want free
trade on everything that is in the next
country"
At least. he added, that was true of
the Philippine tariff.
The president-elect stated that the Re
publican party had promised to call
special session of the new congress to
revise the tariff. and that he intended 10
carry out the promise as soon after his
Inauguration as would be reasonable.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-11-16
Not a Political Matter.

II have been summoned to Cincinnati
and | must obey, said Judge Taft in
discussing his trip. Believe me, | am
not going in connection with political
matters"
In reply TO a question, he added that
the senatorial situation in Ohio was not
taking him there, as he did not intend to
attempt to interfere with the choice of
senator there or in any other state. He
expressed his pleasure that the elections
in Cuba had been held without any dis
turbances, and added that he had not
anticipated any trouble.
While on the subject of iEsular gov
ernments a Filipino newspaper man
asked the president-elect if he had any

Politics Discussed.

Politics was discussed at luncheon, at

Meyer. and Beekman Winthrop, assistant
secretary of the treasury, dropped in du-
ring the afternoon to pay their respects.
Il don't know whether they called to
see me or not, explained Judge Taft
later. laughing heartily. Anyway, they
went off swimming or some place with
the president"
1t was said at the White House that
the president and the three callers had
taken a walk.
Plans for the Future.
Following the various conferences of
the day Judge Taft talked freely about
has plans for the Immediate future.
After spending two or three days in Gin
cinnad he said. he again would join
Mrs. Taft at Hot Springs. On December
he will be in Washington on his way to
New York, where he will attend meet
ing of the North Carolina society in that
