Throne Yields
 To Assembly
MAY BE MEANS OF ENDING CHI.
 NEsE REVOLUTION.
CABINET MEMBERS TO GO
sheng Hsuan- -Huai Dismissed and Prince Ching to Go Before Board of nquiry-DownfaII Due to Reform.

Picking, Oct. 26-The throne surrend- cred today to the Tzu- -Cheng- uan, Ch1na'S national assembly, and in com pjance with the demands of the as sembly dismissed Shen Hsuan-Huai, minister of posts and communications; ordered Prince Ching, the president of the cabinet, before a board of in- qGlry, where he will doubtless be severely dealt with; released from custody the president of. the Sze- -Chuen provincial assembly and other lead CTS in the riots at Cheng-Tu and, in deed, agreed to all that the assembly asked, with a lack of dignity incon. ceiVable to western obrervers.
 Regretted By Foreigners.
 The edfct, in which these orders were promulgated, has been read with re- gret by the foreigners, especially those who were associated with Sheng Hsuan -Huai in the negotiations of the loans and for reforms which brought about his downfall.
 Throne Has Defied People.
 A year ago the throne treated the national assembly at times almost with contumacy. The ministers re- fused to appear before the assembly. and the budget and other bills sub mitted to the assembly for considera- ton were subsequently, put aside for others more suitable to the palace and the grand councillors. Until even
 
 people, issued edicts embodying drastic measures, one of which in September was directed against the anti-foreign railway agitators in Sze-Chuen. Now, the first resolution of the newly con- vened assembly carrying consequences of irremediable character, has been granted without a single days consid- eration.
 Deposed Men Not Unhappy.
 Friends who saw Sheng Va when the thrones intention was ksown to him, say that he is not unhappy. It is said that Prince Ching will be glad to escape the tflankless premiNrship the throne acted on advice of Prince Ching and probably the others.
 May Terminate Revolution.
 The appointment of Tang-S -Shao-Yi to succeed Sheng Hsuan- -Huai is be- lieved to forecast the appointment of Yuan Shi t<ai to the second off in the cabinet, if not to the premiership. With the prospect of Yuan Shi Kai. who is @ Chinaman, leading the coun- try, now ruled by the national assem- ply, it is evident that the Manchus mean to oeffer to the people complete and immediate constitutional govern ment in return for cesSa tion of hos tilities. It is reported that Yuan is already negotiating wi the the rebels Members of the legations, who are old in experience in Chinas affairs, would not be surprised if the revolution ter minated on these lines, practically without further fighting.
 General Killed By Own Troops.
 PeTing, China, Oct. 26-The Chinese newspapers report that the troops at Chang-Tu, the capital of Sze Chuen province have mutinied and killed General Chao Erh-Feng, commander of the imperial forces, and joined the rebels who now hold the capital.
 The legations have received no news officially from Sze-Chueh province for the past ten days. The ordinarily dis credit the reports published in the Chinese papers but consider the state ment that Cheng Tu has fallen and the imperial commander assassinated as not improbable.
 The American legation is making further inquiries.
