Pu-Y CROWNED UNDER NAME OF
HSUAN TUNG.
Imperial Edlct is Issued Granting
Amnesty-chinese Legation at
Washington Celebrates.

Pekin, Dec. 4.-Pu-Yi, the three-year.
old son of Prince Chun, assembled the
Dragon throne, the Oldest in the
world, and was crowned emperor OF
China under the name of Hsuan Tung.
While the ceremonies were brief.
owing to the period of mourning fol-
lowing the death Of Emperor Kuang-
Hsu and the dowager empress fort
night ago, they were exceedingly i'm
posing. Princes of the royal blood
and officials Of the highest rank kow
towed humbly before the infant en-
peror, while plebeian coolies, brought
to the palace as witnesses, according
to custom, rubbed noses at the feet OF
the baby who, by the royal edict, has
become the greatest parsonage in the
Flowery Kingdom.
Following the ceremony an imperial
edict proclaiming the ascension was
Issued. This communication contains
also a grant of amnesty. The date
upon which the new emperor will re-
ceive the members of the diplomatic
corps will be fixed later.
The function began by the princes
of the imperial family and the high
officials of the empire kowtowing to
the memorial tablets of their late
majesties. After this they all kow-
towed in turn to Pu-Yi Pu-Yi then
offered sacrifice before the tablets
of the emperor and the dowager en-
press
Washington. Dec. 4.-lnterrupting
the period of mourning over the death
OF the late emperor and dowager en-
press, the Chinese legation Wednes-
day celebrated the accession to the
throne of the new emperor, Hsuan
Tung. Similar ceremonies were held
at all the Chinese embassies and lega-
lions throughout the world.

cHINA's CRISIS.
Why Manchus and Chinese May Fight
For the Empire.

An EngliShman who has Il most
complete knowledge of China and Chi
nese conditions recently expressed the
opinion when interviewed at London.
England, that the chances of trouble
resulting from the change of regime
at Pekin We're far more serious than
was generally thought He said.
Few people outside of China appre
ciate the relative position of the
Manchus and the Chinese While the
present dynasty is Manchu and the
Manchus hold about half the high
offices everywhere. half the smaller
positions in the central government,
as we'll as vast prcponderance Of
the posts depending upon statesman-
ship and scholarship, the population of
the country is Chinese. The desire of
the Chinese for Il Share in the gov.
eminent proportionate to their num-
bers Is today the strongest motive be-
hind the revolutionary movement AS
the new regime undoubtedly will make
many changes among the high Off
Gals. who. in their turn. will make
changes among their subordinates
This redistribution of offices will have
vital bearing on the peace of the
empire, and unless the Chinese are
given greater representation in the
government than they have at present
serious trouble may be expected.
1.-THE Chinese revolutionists are well
organized and have plenty Of arms
and ammunition. The attitude of for
eign powers will exert strong In
huence on their actions. If the Man
chu dynasty commands the support Of
the powers, and particularly armed
support. revolution is hardly prob
able. but If the Chi use are assured
that the powers would remain neutral
they might make short work of the
Manchu dynasty
"Of the really efficient men in high
governmental positions less than half
dozen are Manchus; the great ma
jority are Chinese. Almost all the eff
fective work Of the government, such
as diplomacy, the organization of rail
roads and the development of mines,
the reorganization Of Manchura and
the establishment of a system of mod.
ern education, Is being done by Yuan
Shi Kai with the assistance of Amer.
can educated Cantonese.
This change Of regime marks a
critical stage in the History of China.
The Chinese have long demanded
more power. and unless they get it
now there viii lie trouble. trouble that
may take lhn form of Il revolution"

The Most Important Purpose.

1t is about time that some Opin-
ions hitherto maintained in this
country respecting the operations
of the tariff were considerably re-
vised There is a popular impress
sion that the lowering of duties
would result in facilitating the en-
trance of British iron products to
this market. but it is as fallacious
as that which induced the temper
airy abatement of the duty on coal
short time ago, and which did
not result in the increased impor.
tation of a single ton of mineral
fuel The reason is pretty pain.
In most things we are perfectly
able to compete with the foreigner,
and our own prices are low enough,
with little dropping, to keep out
the imported product. II the only
object of protective tariff has
been to create industries which
would enable us to complete sue
cessfully; it would be time to let
go; but there is another purpose
back Of the policy and that is to
preserve the American standard OF
living by refusing to enter into a
competition which would compel us
to lower it to the foreign level
