REGENTS ABD|CAT|ON
MAY NOT SAVE THRONE
Peking Believes Prince Chun'S
Sacrifice Has Come Too Late
To Be Effective.
YUAN Is NOW ALL.P0WERFUl
Premier Looked to by Rebels to
Change Government to Re-
public Without Foreign
Intervention

Peking. Dec. 6-Prince Chun. the Re-
gent and father Of the child Emperor,
abdcated to-day His place as guardian
Of the throne is taken jointly by Shih-
Hsu, Manchu prince and former presl-
dent OF the National Assembly, and
Hsu-Shih- chang. vicepresident of the
Privy Council. Both the new guardians
of the throne were formerly grand coun-
sellors.
The administration remains for the
present In the hands Of the Premier,
Yuan Shih-kai. The Empress Dowager
and the Emperor continue TO hold audi
ences and carry out ceremonial affairs.
The Regent sacrificed himself in a last
effort TO save the throne for his son, but
unless all evidences fail 1t is too late.
Premier Yuan Shih-kai has let Polling
know that he has taken the British Min
ister, Sir John Jordan, into his conf
dence. He has told the minister his
plans and saws that he hopes much from
the minister's mediation. The rebels to-
night confidently say that Yuan Shih-ksi
is their man. They describe him as a
master statesman, because he is ac-
complishing the transition from the
Manchu dynasty TO a republic without a
massacre or an attack on the legations.
The edict of abdication exhorts all the
princes to retire peacefully, which may
indicate that there was truth in the re-
ports often current that the youthful
princes desired to attack the foreigners.
hoping 10 cause foreign complications
which might benefit the Manchus.
Yuan Now All Powerful.
Yuan Shih-kai is now entirely powerful
within the limitations Of the disrupted
government. The rebels say that they
expect him to manipulate the regiments
until the Manchus are no longer capable
of disturbing the capital when the de-
cision Of the Shanghai assembly Of the
representatives Of the rebel and loyal
provinces. soon TO be held, decides in
favor Of republic. The Premier has
promised TO abide by the assembly's de
cision, which is admittedly republican.
II Is believed that the Premier desires
foreign mediation TO insure the safety Of
the court and the granting Of pensions.
Some Of the legations sympathize with
the Regent. They pity, but do not blame
him. IT is pointed out that he was far
from selfish that he sought the best for
the throne and the country, hut was in
capable. The palace, where avarice ard
intrigue prevail, Is hopeless as the seat
of government.
The legations Of the larger powers are
increasing their guards TO between three
| hundred and FIVE hundred. The court
seems to have lost hope when the loan
was definitely denied to the government.
The edict announcing the resignation
of the Regent. issued to-day by the En-
press Dowager. is signed by the mem
bers Of the Cabinet. 1t points out that
the administration has been unpopular
and that a constitutional government
/ has not yet been established, explaining
this by the fact that complications arose
| the peoples hearts were broken and the
country was thrown into turmoil.

Shanghai. Dec. 6.-The southern revo-

ever determined on the effacement Of
the Manchu administration, even 10 the
child Emperor, as the only terms On
which peace can he made.
The abdiCation Of the Regent is re-
garded with suspicion, according 10 the

the dual guardianship is unsatisfactory.

0FF|CEHOLDERS TOO
MUCH IN POLITICS,
TENNESSEEANS SAY
Complaints Reach Here That
Republican "Jobbers' Are
Violating Merit Rules.

Complaints are reaching here Of undue
political activity among the Federal
officeholders down in Tennessee. These
complaints proceed from Republicans
who are opposed to the Federal crowd
and from Democrats. and they are get
ting after the offenders, who include
some of Postmaster General Hitch
GOES postmasters, with a sharp stick.
The Tennessee State senate recently
adopted resolution calling on Wash
ington officials to investigate this al
legged undue activity Of Federal office
holders. But the State senate has fail
ed to get wheel turned in Washington
Protests are now coming in that the
resolution is being ignored. 1t was ad-
dressed to the President, the Civil Ser
vice Commission. and the National Civil
Service Reform League.
The resolution which was adopted
charges that for several years II has
been, alleged Federal officeholders in
Tennessee have been violating both the
letter and the spirit of the civil service
law and regulations by pernicious ac-
tivity in politics. 1t recites that at a
recent meeting Of the Republican State
Committee in Nashville fifteen of the
Federal officeholders or were represent
ed by Federal offiCeholders. 1t is fur
ther recited that members of the COM
mittee. after the meeting, stated TO re-
liable citizens that the State committee
had in some form indorsed the viola
ton of the constitution and laws of
Tennessee by the runaway members of
the Legislature in breaking quorum in
the House.
The President, the Civil Service Com
mission, and the National Civil Service
Reform League are requested to inVesti-
gate and take such steps as will tend to
compel the Federal officeholders to obey
the law, Federal and State.

session upon such a day, Representative
Anderson will be on hand to call up his
pension bill.
Has Rival.
1t develops that there is great rivalry
between Representative Anderson and
Representative Sherwood, both Ohio
Democrats, regarding pension legisla-
tion. Each member has a large old SOL
dier constituency. Mr.. Sherwood also
has in a bill to increase the pension
rolls, but for the time Mr.. Anderson
seems to have the advantage, because
he has moved to discharge the Invalid
Pensions Committee.
The pension increase has given many
an economical Democrat a nightmare.
The Democrats have Topped off some
thing like $11, 100000 in revenue by the
passage c.s the free list bill. A revision
of the wool schedule means a further
cut into the revenue till. Now, II the
Anderson bill passes, calling for appro-
priation OF something like $45, 900. 900 not
counted upon by the Democratic mathe-
maticians, the House ma jority will start
off to economize with 70,000, 900 on the
wrong side of the big financial ledger.
All Of which causes a shudder to creep
down the back of such conservatives as
Representatives. Oscar Underwood and
John j FITZGERALD.

A bill that will increase the pension
rolls about $45, ,OOO, 900, introduced by one
of their own number. Representative
Anderson. of Ohio, is giving the House
Democrats almost as much uneasiness
today as tariff revision and the wool
schedule. Temporarily the bill is side
tracked, but 1t is bound to bob up again
every two weeks, until the Democrats
eventually will be forced to take some
action.
Ostensibly the House adjourned over
until Tuesday because it had little to
do and its committees wanted to work.
In reality. adjournment was taken to
side-step the Anderson pension bill,
which stands at the head of the cal
endar to discharge committees.
This calendar is in order the first
and third Mondays in each month. The
second and fourth Mondays are pre-
sumed to be District of Columbia days.
Seek to Sidestep.
Under the rules, therefore. the S45,
100000 pension bill would have been
called up Monday. The Democrats are
out for an economy record. They don't
relish the idea of putting s45,0OO,ooo on
the wrong side of the ledger, even
though one of their own number has in
troduced the bill and then moved to
discharge the committee on pensions
from its further consideration. thus
throwing II into the House proper for
action.
The Republicans are enjoying the situ-
alton immensely
Nearly all of them are ready to vote
s45 100000 additional in pensions to the
Union veterans. Some of the Northern
Democrats must also vote that way, If
the bill is ever put upon passage, or
else some of these Northern Democrats
will not return to Congress.
The Southern Democrats, of course,
believe the Union veterans are drawing
enough pension money as II is. They
are unuualifedly opposed to the Ander-
son bill, and will sidestep 1t as long AS
possible. If it is finally called up. they
will do all they can to down 1t.

can adjourn over" every first and third

Members Of the family of Representa-

House, as well as his attending physi-
clan, stated last night that unless an UNI
expected change for the worse occurs
there will be no necessity for an opera
ton upon him.
Coming, as it does, on the eve OF a
tariff fight. which is expected to be the
biggest trat Congress has witnessed In
years. Representative Underwood's ILL
ness mas caused much concern among
his colleagues. 1t was at first believed
that the trouble was appendicitis, ana
that an operation would be necessary,
but last nights statement relieves the
anxiety which was caused by the nrst
announcements of Mr.. Underwood 1il-
ness The physicians orders are that the
democratic House leader must remain in
bed for several days.
When Mr.. Underwood left his office last
Thursday evening. he was in good health
and remarked that he was going into re-

be ready to take up the work OF framing
the tariff bill with his colleagues next
week. He became i'll Thursday night. the

until the street is tired of the talk. Some
thing substantial will have to take the
place of rumor before much new buying
can be looked for. That something Will De
done is taken for granted. Whether the
Supreme Court decided against the coal
road or not in the pending cases. it may
be prophesied with certainty that the
transportation companies will divorce
themselves from their direct ownership OF
coal deposits Public sentiment is over
whelming in the demand that this be
done The day is passing when rail-
roads can ship their own products In
competition with the public. Understand
ing this fully, the railroads concerned are
not going to await brutal bludgeoning
when they sidestep gracefully and be
making money at the same time.
