day dismisses from office Yuan Shi

A second edict appoints Mai Tung,

He Is One of Chinas Great Men.
Washington, Jan. 2.-Though the
news of the downfall of Tuan Sha Kai
was entirely unexpected in official cir
cles here, it was received with regret,
for the state department has keen
recollection of the great services rem
tian nation in securing communication
by secret means with the legations be-
sieged in the compound at Pekin dur
ing the famous boxer uprising. At the
time Yuan Shi Kai was Taotai OF
Shanghai and did not hesitate to use all
of his great power to secure news from
the compound which gave the first as
surance to the outside world that the
diplomats their families and attaches
We're holding their own within the lega-
tion precincts. It was this information
which Yuan Shi Kai conveyed through
the American consul general at Shan-
nal 10 Mr. Hay Inat encouraged lIe
European governments to join with
America in the remarkable allied
march to Pekin that resulted in the
liberation of the legationers.
For some time there is reason to sus-
pect that Yuan Shi Kai was not closely
in touch with the new administration
in China There had been charges af-
fecting his official integrity, but these
had come to naught, so long as. the
famous dowager empress. Isl An lived,
for she had unlimited confidence in Yuan
Shi Kai and he was clothed with almost
the same degree of power over China,s
relations as was Ii
Hung Chang. It was Yuan who organ
ized the modern Chinese army dropped
out the spearsmen and the bowmen and
the bearers of stink pots and the max
ers of loud noises and substituted well
drilled. khaki-clad soldiers. educated by
European officers. During the boxer
uprising, with his well trained troops
Yuan was almost the only viceroy in
China able to extend protection to for
eign life and property, and in his later
position, with extended powers. he had
planned to make the Chinese national
army a force to be reckoned with oy
auy nation.

HOCH MAKES APPEAL.
Asks People of Kansas to Help italian
Sufferers.

Governor Hoch, president of the KAN
sas branch of the Red Cross society,
has issued a proclamation calling for
aid for the earthquake sufferers of It
ally. ]. R. Mulvane is secretary of the
organization and all contributions
should be sent to him. The proclama-
tion reads as follows:
ITO the People of Kansas:
Joseph Cook once said that the
nineteenth century made all men neigh
bors, but that the Twentieth century
would make all men brothers. Never
before in the history of the world was
it so true that the Hgature of sym
pathy binds all men together as now.
The civilized world has just been
shocked by another awful calamity.
The great San Francisco horror has
been eclipsed by the even greater hor-
ror which has just befallen Italy. The
cry for help from these stricken peo-
pie appeals to every humanity loving
heart.
kansas in a comparatively small
way has known something of suffering.
When more than a third of a century
ago the grasshoppers devastated this
state and when in more recent years
the floods swept its valleys the gen.
erous people of the country quickly
responded to our calls for help. In the
recent California catastrophe, Kansas
then as now enjoying unprecedented
prosperity responded to their appeal
with more than 100 carloads of relief
and with over $4,000 in money. And
shall we not in some degree at least
show our sympathy in some substantial
way for the earthquake stricken people
across the seas?
1.-The National Red Cross society Of
which President-elect Taft is president,
has just sent a contribution of $50.000
AS president of the Kansas Red Cross
society, I appeal to the people Of this
state for contributions. Mr.. John R.
Mulvane, treasurer of the society, the
president of the Bank of Topeka, will
receive subscriptions, acknowledge their
receipt and forward the money to these
suffering people who SO sorely need
it,"
A meeting of the Kansas branch of
the Red Cross society will be held Mon
day afternoon at 2 o'clock for the pur-
pose of starting a systematic campaign
for funds. This meeting was announc-
ed yesterday by Prof. B. B. Smyth, sec
rotary of the Kansas branch of the So
society. Prof. Smyth gave out a state
ment which is published elsewhere.

MONEY GOES FORWARD

Both house will receive a special mes
sage from the president, recommend

the two bodies will vie with each other
in the speedy passage of the relief
measure. The sum to be a appropriated
will cover the value Of supplies al
ready forwarded to the sufferers on the
order of the president. The appro-
priation will be greater by far than
ever has been made in the past for a
similar purpose, the largest grant
heretofore made being that of 5000, 900

The president has notayet begun to
frame his message, but Nit is under
stood that it viii be short and will
recommend that congress authorize
the use of any navals stores aboard

And as long as the present method of

which should prove a boon to the
shoppers from small towns who come
to Topeka to make their purchases.
Frequently the shoppers are caused
considerable Inconvenience by having
to carry their bundles from one store
to another. The Rock Island has
fitted up a store room in the ticket
office, and a check system has been
devised so that the goods can be de-
livered to the ticket office from the
different stores and then reclaimed at
the ticket window by presenting the
checks. The merchants of Topeka
have expressed their hearty approval
of the Rock Islands plan.

Can Have Place in Taft Cabinet If He
Wishes

Washington, Jan. 2.-"Kansas will
get no cabinet position at the begin
possibly Senator Long consents to ac-
cept a place. Later on the state
stands a show. In my judgment it
would be F. D. Coburn for secretary
OF agriculture"
Senator Charles Curtis thus, sizes up
the cabinet situation insofar as it re-
lates to Kansas.
"Mr. Taft has selected his cabinet
with one exception" said the senator,
''but he will not announce their
names for some time. Long may get
the position of secretary of commerce
and labor, if he indicates that he will
take it. He says he does not want
ca binet place, or any other official po-
sition.
Secretary Wilson will be reappoint-
ed at the head of the department of
agriculture for two reasons. First. be-
cause he is an able secretary; second,
because he wants to break all records
in tl'e length of service of a cabinet
member.
wilson believed he had already
broken the record, but recently dis
covered that some other statesman of
the past would tie him if he quit
March 4. He explained the situation
and told of his ami bition to serve long

appoint him. He will likely resign
