REGENT OF CHINA
RESIGNS HIS TASK
Sinh Hsu, a Manchu, and Hsu Shin
Chang are Now Guardians Of
Baby Emperor's Throne.

Picking, China, Dec. e.. Pence
Chun, regent ana la.Aer OF he CHI
emperor. abdicated.
His place as guardian of the terou
is taken jointly by Sinh Hau, ma
chu prince and former president o.
the national assembly, and Hsu shin
Chang, viceroy OF the privy eouacii.
Prince Chun has been the ch.ei f T
ure in China since the death OF si@
Emperor Kwang Su and the emlaess
dowager in 1908. From the IA !
days which followed the death y
those rulers there emerged the ruler
of China.
At no time was Prince Chun's r..
gency a smooth one. He tried TO hot
to middle ground, which pleaseG
neither OF the Manchu reactionaries
nor the native progressive. He has
handled the present crisis with pr.
hans something less than his old
time vigor, and recent proofs havs
limited that his mind was weakening
WI Ting-iang, former Chinese min
lister at Washington, who is now one
of the revolutionary leaders in Shang-
hal, issued an appeal to Chun lew
days ago urging him to abdicate in
favor OF the republic. 1t was report
ed later from Picking that Chun was
willing to accept a pension and re
tire to Je-Hol, if his personal sa cry
was assured.
Both the new guardians of the
throne were formerly grand council
ors.
The administration remains for the
present in the hands of Premier Yuan
Shi Kai, while the empress dowagsI
and the emperor continue to hold
audiences and carry out ceremonial.
functions.
The abdlcation of Prince Chuen a:
regent and the substitution of Saih
Hsu and Hsu Shin Chang as guard
ians of the throne is regarded as a
substantial victory for Yuan Shi Ksi
between whom and the retiring re
gent there has been much bitter feel.
ing ever since Yuan was dismissed
from the court in 1909.
OF TIE two new regents, Hsu Shih
Chang is by far the more interesting
personality. He is dstinctively Chin
csc in birth and training and asplra
tons, nd has been one of Yuan s
stanchest advocates, protesting
against his dismissal in 1909 and me
moralizing the throne since then to
cause his return to public life
The Chinese rebels in the vicinity
of Hankow are regaining confidence
according to consular reports receiv.
ed at the foreign legation here, and
the leaders of the revolution are not
willing now to consider any term
from the Imperial government ex
cept those providing for the estab.
lishment of republic
Rebel reinforcemenis are marching
Toward Hankow from Wu-Chang
The revolutionaries announce the ar
rival at Hankow of representatives
of eight provinces, with the proxies
of at least three other provinces. The
delegates, 1t is reported, met in as
sembly and adopted a provisional
constitution for the new republic.
