they were after votes, and not trying

Events In china.
For the first time since the Manchu
conquest OF China, nearly 900 years ago.
the abdication OF Prince Chun places
Chinese on equal terms with a Manchu
in exercising imperial power. Shi-Hsu is
a Manchu Hsu Shi Chang a Chinese. For
the moment both are the custodlans OF
the rights OF the throne. But as events
are moving rapidly in the Celestial en-
pire these days, IT is useless to speculate
on what the twin rulers will do or what
will happen to them. The imposing fact
in the progress of events there is the re-
tlrement Of Prince Chun, whose regency
was stormy from the first He tried to
bold a middle ground, which pleased
neither the Manchu reactionaraies nor the
native prugressives. lie has handled the
existing crisis with perhaps something
less than his old-tme vigor, and recent
reports have limited that his mind was
weakening. Prince Chun Is the father Of
the infant Emperor Pu-Yi, who was born
in February, 1906, and succeeded his
uncle, the late Emperor Kwang-Su, in
November. 1908. After Kwang-Su and the
much more influential Empress Dowager
Tsi-An died. within a few days of each
other, Prince Chun, in the resulting con-
fusion, proved to be the most competent
and clearest headed Of the Manchu
princes and became the ruler of the en-
pire.

to a commission sent out to Cyrenaica by

purpose OF a Jewish settlement. Prof. j.
w. Gregory, the head of that expedition,
came to the conclusion that the general
reports Of the former wealth. dense popu-
lasion and exceptional fertility of eyre
naica have been exaggerated. Although
the soil is excellent, It is patchy, and the
country is better suited for pastoral
than for agricultural occupation. owing
to the scarcity of water, the country
could never have supported, and never
will support. a dense population. Storage
OF water presents difficulties, owing to
the porosity of the soil" With slight
the same conclusion applies
TO Tripoli, which has never been exam
ined scientifically. ''Italy's sanguine
prospects of mineral and agricultural
wealth are based on no solid grounds"
