CHINA IS AWAKE.
Demand for Popular Parliament Is
About to Be Granted.

Pekin, Oct. Sit is believed the
throne has decided to accede to the de-
mand of the senate and the provincial
delegates for the early conVccatio1 Of
popular parliament. In the senate to-
day and in the presence of the leading
grand councillors Prince Yu LANG, a
member of the grand council, stated
that the entire nation from the highest
to the lowest was agreed upon the ne
cessity of the early establishment of a
understood this to mean that their me-
mortal would be granted, received the
declaration with prolonged cheering
The Importance of this concession on
the part of the government can scarce
ly be over estimated in view of it's
recent refusal to entertain a similar re-
quest made by a delegation from the
provincial assemblies last June.
The program fixed by the late Dow
ager Empress provided for the consti-
tuition of a general representative leg
iSlative body to be known as the i'm
perial parliament in 1915 at the end
of nine year period of preparation. No
sooner had this plan been made known
in a decree than a popular agitation
was begun to influence the throne to adj
vance the date.
The provincial assemblies met and
discussed the matter and received the
support of the merchants throughout
the country. They sent a delegation to
the prince regent promptly announced
that the original program would be adj
hered to-
On October 8 the new senate met for
the first time. OF it's 200 members 100
had been appointed by the throne and
there was every indication that it would
accomplish but little except as it re-
Elected the wishes of the central gov
eminent. Nevertheless early in its his
tory the senate developed an opposi-
ton party composed of provincial dele
gates and this party has since conduct
ed an active campaign looking to the
recognition Of the senate by the grand
council as body with executive power
rather than that it's deliberations should
be of an advisory character. Meantime
the viceroys and governors of provinces
supported the opposition by memorial
izing the throne regarding an early OPP
ening of the proposed parliament. On
October &c such Progress had been made
that the senate adopted, by an almost
unanimous vote a memorial to the
throne praying for the establishment
of popular parliament at the earliest
moment. Two days later the thrcne
ordered the grand council to consider
the memorial and today's announcement
by Prince Yu LANG is accepted as the
decision of the grand councillors that
the popular demand should be granted.

TO CHALLENGE MoIssANT.
Grahame- White Wants to Race Prize
Winner for $4,000.


Belmont Park, Oct. 31.-CIaude Ora
hame-White said he would issue an Of
fetal challenge to Moisant and put up
a purse of $4,000 for another flight
around the statue of liberty or over
any other course that the winner of
Sundays contest might choose. Ora
hame-White claimed that this meet was
not officially closed but said he was
tired of making protests. He said he
was confident of beating MoiSant.
Grahame- White based his demands
for another flight on the fact that it had
been announced by the officials of the
meet that attempts might be made to
fly around the statue of liberty Sunday
or Monday 1t was suggested that an
other flight be made around the statue
today. This suggestion Grahame-
White answered:
what is the use? I might make this
flight and it is probable that the Off
Gals here would not take my time
Then you see if 1 sent my protest to
the Aero club of Great Britain for them
to decide my time would not be Off
cial and all my trouble would go for
naught.''
Lyttleton Fox, member of the avia
ton committee, said the meet was Of
f1cially ended last night. All totaliza-
lions will be counted to last night and
the program for today will be for mon
eys which were found to be available
for the purpose of holding another
days event, all of which will be con-
sidered special.

clared their intention to go from here

Chicago March 15.-Railroad officials
in all parts Of the country were stirred
today over the announcement that the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen
and Engineers had ordered q strike Of
$4,000 firemen on practically all the
railroads between Chicago and the Pa
cif1c coast and that the exact hour at
which the men were to quit work would
probably be sent out within twenty
four hours.
President w. s. Carter Of the BROTH
erhood at midnight last night announce
ed that the strike order had been de-
ctded upon by himself and forty-three
members of his committee because the
railroad general managers refused to
submit all questions in dispute to arbi-
tration under the Erdman act. He
said the committee today would prob
ably decide upon the hour at which
the men should go out and officials of
all local organizations of the brother
hood would be informed by telegraph

other general managers who constitute

railroad officials declared would entail
loss of millions. Both side disowned
responsibility for the threatened stop.

Chicago, March 15.-The date and
hour of calling the strike of firemen On
the western railroads was decided by
the union officials committee today and
the committee adjourned until this af-
ternoon without announcing the time
when the strike will be called Presi-
