GOVERNMENT TAKES
STRONGER POSITION
IN RULING OF CHINA
Important Edicts Show New
Turn of Affairs in Orien-
| tai Empire.

PEKING, May 10-An imperial edict
authorizes the conclusion of the loan
of 10000, 900 for railroad construction in
Central China. The loan was signed a
year ago, despite provincial opposition,
by groups of financiers representing the
United States, France, Great Britain,
and Germany. The amount of the loan
to the Chinese government remains at
s3O,OOO,OOO. Notwithstanding the elimina-
tion of a branch section of the railroad,
and the four groups of bankers will par
ticipate.
Another edict exhorts the viceroys to
abolish the production of opium eXpedi-
tiously, Great Britain having consented,
by the Anglo-Chinese agreement signed
yesterday, to reduce the expectation of
Indian opium to China as rapidly as the
home growth is exterminated. The anti
opium societies are most active, and as
the country has been aroused, it is be-
leved that the government will succeed
in abolishing the production of the pop
py within a few years.
The important edicts of today and the
one of yesterday, which abolished the
grand council, substituting for it a con-
stitutional cabinet of ten members, indi-
cate that the government is assuming a
responsibility which it has heretofore
lacked and that the evidences of a revo-
lutionary spirit and the assembly's un-
sbated hostility have forced the govern
ment to lead or be led.
1t is believed that the appointment of
Prince Ching as premier and minister of
foreign affairs in the new constitutional
cabinet is only temporary, and that the
prince will be superseded as soon as the
assembly reconvenes, that body having
warred relentlessly against his ancient
methods.
The administrative regulations now
promulgated make the cabinet jointly
responsible with the throne to the ma
tional assembly. 1t is believed that the
government has greatly strengthened
itself. and it is already showing self
confidence and determination.

lieves the opening of the grounds on

In the city who are most in need of
the advantages but who cannot enjoy
them on the work days of the week
With President Moses in this move
ment stand F. L. Siddons and Isaac

good that would be done can be
