TEXT OF THE FIRST IMPERIAL
EDlCT or ABDlckTioN ISSUED
BY THE CHINESE THRONE.

We, the Emperor of China, have
respectfully received o-day the fol-
lowing ediet from the hands of her
majesty, the Dowaser Empress:
In consequences Of the uprising Of
the republican army, to which the
people Of the provinces Of China have
responded, the empire is seethine like
a boiling esuldron and the people are
plunged in misery.
Yuan hih-kai was therefore COM
randed to dispatch commissioners in
order 70 confer with the republicans,
with view to the calling of a ma
tional assembly TO decide on the
future form Of government Months
have elapsed and no settlement is
now evident.
The majority of the people are in
favor OF republic. From the pref
erence Of the PEOPLES hearts the will
Of Heaven is discerHibe. How could
we oppose the desires Of millions for
the glory of one family?
Therefore, we, the Dowsger En-
press and the Emperor, hereby vest
the sovereignty OF the Chinese EN-
pire in the people.
Let Yuan Shih-kai organize to the
full the powers Of the provisional
republican government and confer
with the republicans as to the meth
DDS OF union, assuring peace in the
empire and forming a great republic
with the union of Manehus, Chinese,
Monsols, Mahometans and Tibetans.
We, the Empress Dowager and the
Emperor, will thus be enabled to live
in retirement, free from responsible.
ties and cares, and enjoying without
interruption the nations courteous
treatment.
