PEKIN, Nov. 7-Legations believe
that the end of the Manchu dynasty
is in sight There seems to be no
hope of the saving of even a nominal
throne power. Provinces north of the
Wang Use river are now declaring for
a republic. The only force of Man.
Gnu troops large enough to cope with
the local situation anywhere is in
Pekin. Indications are tonight that
the capital will be surrounded before
many days by the Chinese soldiers.
Where the court will take refuge in
that event is d matter of much specu-
lation. Troops are guarding the tun-
mel along the route from Pekin to
Chang Khan Kau and they are ex-
pected to dynamite the tunnel after
the emperor and family pass through

to them. The legation has advised
Americans and others to come into

was HammQnd's opening sentence. He
said the great Christian nations of the

ditiOns, he said. preclude the pOssi-
bility of international disarmament
and render extremely improbable even

The ultimate solution of this great
problem is unquestionably the estab-
lishment of a permanent court Of ar
bitration," he said, but this cannot
be done except as we solve, step by
step, the intricate problems confront

been taken in the right direction.
While il is true that the senate has
not ratified these treaties. the pres

LOS, ANGELES, Nov. THE jury

were exercised by both sides. To-
night but five of the twelve remained

challenge tomorrow it will not be
allowed to do so later on.
Today, second day of the fifth week

box: Robert Balm, carpenter. who
organized the first labor union in
Los Angeles; F. d. Green. orange

and William F. Clark. Challenges
were exercised alternately, the state

and an effort to fill the jury box
after each challenge was also lost by
the defense when the state cited
precedents of this state to show that

President GOmpers, of the American
Federation of Labor took issue with
members of the employers liability

mission regarding the awarding tri-
bunal to be created. In the main
he endorsed the commissions plan
for insuring railroad employees against
accident but when he took up the
question of administration he ad-
vanced the theory that did not meet
the approval of some members of the
commission. He insisted that the
tribunal consist of three members,
one representing the employees, one
the employers and the third to be
physician of standing chosen by the
other two. The commission has not
formulated a provision governing this
important part of the law but Sen

the Gompers plan would be in effect

merely attorneys for the opposing
