Throne Must Abdieate.

It is reported that Yuan Shi Kai Is
at Hankow, negotiating with General
Ii. leader of the rebels, who is in a po-
sition to dictate terms. 1t is believed
that the south will demand the retire
ment of the Manchu royalty with a
pension and will not be satisfied with
less. Perfect order is maintained in
shanghai and in the outlying districts,
which constitute a remarkable feature
of the movement.
There is reason to believe that the
sentiment throughout the
south strongly favors the uncondition-
al abdication of the emperor and the
establishment Of an entirely new re-
gime. Yuan Shi Kai will be repndiat-
ed If he adheres to the Manchus. He
might become head of the government

RICHMOND EXHIBIT.

The proposition TO establish in Richmond an
exhibit of the cltys products is an admirable one
and should bear fruit In the shape OF the best
manufacturers display IN this country
Literature, statistics and word of mouth have
served their mission admirably In the past but
what is more convincing than all else is a tangi-
BILE exhibit which will appeal to the mind through
the eye.
Every visitor who comes to Richmond wants
to know what is the heart of Richmond? What
makes it go"" The answer is its manufactures
Then comes the question, What manufactures p"

the gateway of the South and an historic center
These pamphlets have rs much crammed into
them and in as compact and cogent form as pos
sible. but they are not half as convincing as an

A display Of Richmond products under a single
roof would be revelation not only to all visit
ors, but many Richmonders as well. The State
maintains an agricultural exhibit and is soon to
open one showing its mineral and timber display.
In countless Western and Northern cities are to
