death was contained In an oficial an
nouncement, which also stated that
Kuang- Hsu, the emperor, died at S
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
dowager empress directed the destfn-

1861. Her reign was marked by no
protest since 1881.
Prince Pu-Yi. the child-ruler, sue

VI was made heir presumptive last
Friday in an Official edict.
The foreign legations were notified
this morning by the foreign board OK
the death Of the emperor and the sue
cession OF Prince Pu-Yi. 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 uprisings was made
greater because OF the fact that the

known to be close at hand.
Two divisions OF troops have been
held In reserve and these are now sta.
toned In various quarters OF the city.
Twenty gendarmes were dispatched to

Pekin already has been greatly
transformed; all red objects have been
removed and blue substituted. The
people learned this 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. The foreign-
ers OF the city are watching the
strange ceremonies with great inter
est. At the palace elaborate rites are
being observed and food of edicts
has been sent forth.

the defeat OF Mr.. Hemans, but also
for the defeat OF Prosecutor Purcell
and Mr.. Burt, for state senator.
Mr.. Burts denunciation OF the IL

1T Is well known that nearly every
liquor man Is a Democrat. The Dem
ocratic party is unfOttunate in having
this class of men In 1t. The brewers,
who own the large portion of the sa.
looms, are responsible for this state
of affairs. They have made the sa-
looms as dirty as possible and now
they would control the states affairs.
They have taken strong stand
against everything demanding ade-
quate laws against them.
1T Is a query in my mind whether
the Democratic party had not better
change Its name to the Brewers and
liquor mems party" They seem to
