EMPRESS AN IS DEAD. OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT IS MADE OF DEATH OF
 FORMER RULER.
DAYS OF MOURNING ORDERED
Troops Have Been Held In Readiness Several Days to QuelI Possible Uprisinas On Death
 of Monarch.


 dowager empress of China, the auto cratic head of the government, which she directed without successful inter. ference since 1861 and without pro. test since 1881 died at o'clock Sun. day afternoon.
 The announcement of the dowager empress death was official and was followed closely by the announce ment that Kuang Hsu, the emperor had died Saturday at five o'clock in the afternoon, but it is believed the deaths occurred d considerable time before that set down in the official statements.
 An edict issued at s o'clock Sunday morning placed on the throne Prince Pu Vi, the three-year- old son of Prince Chun. the regent of the empire, in ac- cordance with a promise given by the dowager empress soon after the mar riage of Prince Chun in 1903.
 An edict issued on Friday made Pu Vi heir presumptive.
 Foreign Legations Notified.
 The foreign legations were notified Sunday morning by the foreign board of the death of the emperor and the succession of Prince pu Vi.
 Troops have been in readiness for several days to quell any disorders that might arise on the death of Kuang Hsu and the possibility of up risings was made greater because of the fact that the death of the dowager empress was known to be close at hand.
 Two divisions of troops have been held in reserve and these are now stationed in various quarters of the city.
 Twenty gend armes were dispatched to guard the approaches to the lega tions: but up to the present the duties of the forces have been slight.
 It was announced that the legation guard was ordered out at the special call of the legations on account of the emperor's death"
 Administration to Continue.
 Prince Chun, the regent has order ed the viceroys and governors to take precautions for the continuation of the administration of the provinces as heretofore, and he has ordered a hundred days Of mourning.
 The court will go into mourning three years.
 Peking already has been greatly transformed all red objects have been removed and blue substituted.
 The people learned Sunday evening of the death of the dowager empress, and although the Chinese are in no wise emotional. they showed that they were profoundly impressed by the passing of their powerful ruler.
 Foreigners Watch Ceremonies.

 At the palace elaborate rites are be- ing observed and flood of edicts has been sent forth,

BROOKLYN THEATER

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The Park
Theater. Fulton street, facing Borough
Hall, in Brooklyn, was wholly destroy
ed by fire at an hour midway between
the end of the matinee and the begin
ming OF the night performance.
1t was due to this fortunate circum-
stance that no lives were lost, and the
only serious injury reported was that
OF John Sherman, "a fireman connected
with Truck No. so, who fell from the
gallery to the balcony when the roof
Of the theater fell in. The SpOoner
Stock Company has been left without
a homeeby the fire.
Jessie McAIister. leading woman Of
the company; Ida Alderman, the as
sistant treasurer. and Pearl LytteI were
the herOiues Of the occasion.
BY their courage and presence of mind
they succeeded IN saving nearly all the
costumes and the cash In the bOX-Ofiice
and would probably have saved all that
portion OF the theater back of the as
bestos curtain had they been able to
lower IT, ; IL was they were able to
cut It loose. but 1t caught half way
down and was wholly ineffective in
preventing the spread of the flames TO
the stage section of the theater.
The loss is estimated at $4,000. which
is wholly covered by insurance for that
amount. The theater, which was built

Crisis Faced Because Money
Is Not in Hand to Sup
port Members.
ONLY HOPE LIES
IN AMERICA
Leaders Obtain Only $4,000 This
Years, as Against ST ,O00,-
600 in Past.

DUBLIN, Nov. 13.-John Z. Redmond,
who last night opened the campaign
OF the Irish members OF the house Of
commons, admitted today that the
Irish party Is facing one Of the most
serious crises IN its history, on ac-
count Of the low ebb Of its finances.
The failure OF the American financial
pilgrimage OF Redmond and Joseph
DevIin has proved a bitter disappolnt-
ment, and doubt is now expressed
whether the present number OF Irish
members can long be maintained in
the house OF commons.
Redmond and DevIin secured but
$4,000 in America this year, while the
total from that country has sometimes
reached 100000 IN years past The
leaders realize that without American
support the party could not hold its
own for six months.
They acknowledge, that in the face
OF the present apathy, they can not
support more than twenty members OF
parliament Each members costs at
least $500 and 10 support the quota
Of eighty requires therefore $4,000.
With its present resources the party
can continue its present existing
strength for another year. IF financial
support is not forthcoming from America
at the end OF that time il must reduce
its representation by at least one half.
There is no hope Of funds from any
other source than America.

hope Of avoiding steps 10 raise in

For months with the daily Treasury
statement showing heavy excess Of eX-

worrying over the outlook.
AT times. il has seemed as IL moth

tation for an income tax was certain
to become pronounced when Congress
