MANCHU DYNASTY
BROUGHT TO END
Throne Makes Many ConceS.
Sions to Rebels.
PANIC PREVAILS IN CITIES
Foreign Legations Are In State of
Sieee-Hongkong, Picking, Can
ton and Shanghai Fear
Massacre.

San Francisco. - The Chinese
newspaper here received a dispatch
from Picking stating that Lung Yu,
the dowager empress, had fed from
the capital, taking with her the
young emperor, and that all trace of
them had been lost.
Picking. = lettering to its fall.
the Manchu dynasty, through it's
prince regent, speaking in the person
of the five-year-old emperor, made a
last despairing attempt to stem the
tide OF revolution by issuing more
edicts.
Pathetic in the extreme, the state
pronunciamentos offered many more
concessions to the rebels, but they
only made plain the fact that the rule
OF the Manchu in China is at an end.
The national assembly has voiced
its approval of the thrones action.
The revolutionists say 1T is too late"
A state of panic prevails in Peking,
Shanghai, Hongkong and Canton, as
well as nearly every small place in the
empire, over the fear of massacre,
the Chinese and Manchus regarding
each other with mutual distrust and
fear.
The transfer of all cabinet Offices to
native Chinese is one of the principal
points in the edicts, and the throne
gives the promise that hereafter
'Manchus and Chinese shall be re-
garded equally" This means that the
system of pensions by which practi-
cally every Manchu has been given
money for years has been abolished
and the Manchu will have to get out
and earn his living like any other Chi
naman. The edicts were a complete
capitulation to the demands of the
national assembly.
The Manchus, who, for the first time
in generations, are cut off from their
pensions, talk of massacre for re-
venge. There are 100000 Chinese and
100000 Manchus in the city of Picking.
1t is asserted among the native Chi
nese that Prince Tsai Tao, an uncle
of the infant emperor Pi Yu, is will
ing to lead the Manchus in their mas
sacre.
Fears are entertained for foreigners
in the province of Shansi, many OF
whom are Americans. The conces
sions there are not as strong, nor are
they as well guarded as the legations

AMERICAN NAVY
WORLDS SECOND
Only Great Britain Has Greater
Sea Power.
PREPARED FOR AMY CRISIS
Secretary Meyer Lauds Men Who
Caused Gigantic Increase in
Warships Made During the
Last Nineteen Years.

New Yor.-"The fleet has demon
strated its preparedness for any emer-
gency"
George Won L. Meyer, secretary of
the navy made this statement on
board the Mayfower, after having in
,spected SO fighting ships making a
line of over six and one-half miles IN
length of the Atlantic fleet assembled
in the Hudson river for the greatest
mobilization in the history of the
American navy.
This mobilization in 80 days no.
tice," he said crisply, has demonstra-
ted our preparedness for any emer-
gency. It. has developed that ships
can be assembled in a short time. 1t
has shown the effectiveness of the
present organization. That organiZa-
ton has resulted in both efficiency and
economy. The ships are becoming
more self-sustaining. For example.
the New Hampshire and Michigan viii
require no assistance in repairs.
I'VE had "a battleships among the
100 vessels that covered about six and
"a half miles. Of these battleships the
Utah and the Florida are the most
powerful in the world With the Della
ware and the North Dakota they will
make up a division of super-dread
noughts.
The inspection has gone off with
out any hitch. The program was car
ried out according to schedule. That
the fleet is able to make such a dem
onstration is due to the teamwork of
aids and bureau chiefs working with
the commander-in-chief, Rear Admiral
Osterhaus, and the aid of operations,
Rear Admiral Wainwright The rank
of commander of the Atlantic fleet
should be commensurate with the
enormous feet he commands. Today
he ranks with division commanders
He should have at least the title of
viCe-admiral."
Mr.. Meyer said the fleet had prop
eTly demonstrated the right Of the
United States to rank as the worlds
second naval power and that the mo-
bilization inspected by him exceeded
IN power that of the German empire at
kiel or of the French republic at Tou-
lon. 1t was exceeded, said he, only by
the array of British warships that
gathered in the Solent when George
V. was crowned.

The Family Man.

The man who makes a good, happy,
intelligent home is the best man there
is. 1t is the home that makes a ma
ton great, and that cultivates the vir-
tues that uplift and adorn humanity.
The qualities of head and heart that
go to the making of a good home be-
long to the truest citizenship. If we
have nothing but good homes in the
land, this would be a great republic.
When it is said of a man he is a
good family man, it is the same as
saying he makes his home a happy
and intelligent place; he treats his
wife courteously and his children
thoughtfully; he builds up home on
the lines Of companionship, which he
brightens with intelligence and aspira-
tions; he loves his home and stays
there except when business, social or
public duty calls him elsewhere; he
delights in good books and music and
art and flowers, and reflects in his
life the effulgence of them all; he
talks and thinks above the gossip and
trivial things about him and often
deals with the more serious and in
structive concerns of life.-Ohio State
Journal.
