CHINA ISSUES ED|CT.
Grants Immediate Constitution
to the Country.

Edlct Also Grants a Free Pardon t.
All Rebels and All Political Offend
ers-Swears Reforms Will Be Insti
tuted and the Constitution viii Be
Faithfully observed-RaiIroad Com
munication With Pekn and Loya
Troops Cut of.
Pekin, Oct 31.-An edict was is
sued today, in which the throne, after
humbly apologizing for its past neglect
in this matter, grants an immediate
constitution to the country with a cab
met from which all mobiles are to be
excluded
The edict also grants a free pardon
to all rebels and all political offend
ers.
The activity of the Tai Yuan FL
rebels who hold a portion of the
Peking and Hankow railroad, thus
cutting off communication between
the capital and the loyal troops who
are operating against the republican
forces in the south, has caused con
sternation in government circles here
Troops are being rushed rapidly
towards Shansi province and others
are making preparations to defend
Pekin itself against attack. The
Manchus in official positions here
are panic-stricken and are preparing
for flight.
What the Edict Says.
Among other things the edict says:
"T have now reigned for three years
and during all that time have acted
conscientiously for the interests OF
the people so far as lay in my power
1t Is my regret that | have not EN-
ployed men properly, but that is due
to my lack OF political skill. / have
employed too many mobiles in politi'
cal positions, which ic in contraven.
tion of the constitution.
''In matters concerning the railways
some one has fooled me when trust
ed to their faithfulness and in this
manner public opinion has been op'
posed. When | urge reform the off.
clals among the gentry seize the op.
portunity to embezZle. When the old
laws are abolished high officials take
advantage of the situation to serve
their own ends. Thus much of the peo.
pies money has been taken, but moth
ing for the benefit of the public has
been achieved. Several of my edicts
have promulgated laws for the bene-
fit of all, but none of them has been
obeyed. The people are grumbling
yet.
81 don't know what disasters loom
ahead. I could not forsee the Szech-
uan trouble.
First, there was the WI Chang re-
bellion and now that is followed by
alarming reports from Shensi and
Honan. In Canton there are riots and
its appears that the whole empire is
seething. The minds of the people
are perturbed. The spirits of the nine
late emperors are unable properly to
enjoy our sacrifices and it is feared
that the people will suffer grievously.
1t is all my own fault and swear that
! shall institute reforms, which, with
the aid Of the soldiers and the peo-
pie, will be carried out.
"The constitution will be faithfully
observed and there will be modifying
legislation, which will not only devel.
op their interests, but which will abol-
ish their hardships in accordance with
their wishes. Old laws which are un-
suitable will be abolished and the
union Of the Chinese and the Manchus
which was referred to by the late
emperor will be carried out"

foreigner being practically excluded by the
hlgh-llcense fees which he has to pay at the
Custom-house for the privilege of entering the
American market, the home manufacturer
makes his combination with his brother pro-
ducer of the same kind of goods and the ras-
Gals agree upon the loot to be demanded of
the helpless American who is compelled by
natures necessity and by the customs of his
country, to buy the food, clothing, household
furniture and the tablet or monument in the
cemetery-and then the rascals who have
robbed, by Governmental help, their unprivil-
eyed fellow citizens, divide among themselves
the booty upon which they had previously
agreed.
Can you not see how immoral this is? Can
you not see how dishonest? Can you not see
how un- Christian?
To uphold a system of this kind you can
readily understand that the politician has to
be taken into partnership with the greedy
manufacturers You can readily see that a
system of that kind could not be maintained
if the Press were not subsidized You would
not have to think of the matter very long or
very profoundly if you did not realize that
such a system could not be made permanent
unless somewhere and somehow the Pulpit
and religious paper was persuaded to be silent
on the subject.

superficial observer and thinker, you will

Mr.. Proctor, accompanied by Leonard Lee,
returned to the grove shortly afterwards.
They heard some one run off into the woods
behind my old home-p place lot, where Mr.
Pearce lives. Nobody told me of this until
next morning Even then / took no action
in the premises, for I naturally supposed that
the men, having been discovered, had gone
away. Next day the two negro men who were
preparing a compost heap back of the barn
called the attention of Mr.. John CARTRIDGE,
my farm superintendent, to the fact that two
white men were standing in my pasture gate,
some $50 yards away. He came to the house,
got the shotgun, and> went to see who they
were and what they were after When they
saw him coming, they stepped back into the
pine thicket, out of sight He naturally sup
posed they had gone off, but they hadn't
Their tracks, which are still plainly marked
IN the soft, moist earth, prove, beyond all
doubt, that they watched me as I walked
down the path through the orchard toward
the back of my old home place, and that as I
disappeared from their view behind pro-
jecting corner of the woods between the old
home place and the orchard, those two men
left their hiding place in the pine thicket in
the pasture, and came across the open field
toward my old home place They started to
enter the Old home place by the path that I
had taken, but evidently changed their minds

ran across the little drain below the pasture
got over the wire fence, and went up the I'M
cultivated ground back of the garden<ekirted
the garden palings on the western side, and
struck off to the ri ght toward the little cow
house, which is at the gate and on one side
of the path by which I always enter and leave
the flower garden of my old home. The
tracks prove that, as these men left these
private grounds of the place where Mr.. Pearce
lives, they were running until they got near
the garden fence. They walked by the gar
den fence until they came to gap in it.
They walked along the back of the fence, and
went into the weeds on the edge of the dense
growth along the ditch that drains the
swampy ground in the rear of the Oscar Lee
lot. They got back into the field through
which they had gone into the old home place,
and re-entered the woods of the pasture. How
do we know this?
While we were at the dinper-tabe last
Thursday, Mrs. Lytle exclaimed, 'Why didn't
| think to look for tracks at the place where
| saw that man Tuesday night?" / remarked
that it was not too late to do it even then,
for there had been no sufficient rain to oblit-
crate tracks made on soft ground Tuesday
night. Accordingly, Mrs, Lytle accompanied
by Miss Bartlett, went out to search for foot
prints at the place where Mrs Lyle had seen
the man. Shortly afterwards there came
