IMPERIAL FAMILY
WILL ABDICATE IN
CHINA, SAYS ED|CT
Premier Makes Public Off,
cial Order Issued
Week Ago.

PEKING, Feb. IAN edict, formally
announcing the abdication of the
throne, was issued today by Yuan Shi
kat, who has had the imperial order
In his possession for more than a week.
The premier had been notified that
he should not make the edicts public
until he was satisfied he had enough
Chinese soldiers in the capital to pro-
tect the royal family from the ManchuA
who threatened them with death IL
they surrendered to the revolutionists.
Several detachments of troops reached
the capital today, and the premier be-
lieved he had enough soldiers to cope
with the Manchus.
Word Avoided.
In the edict the word abdication was
carefully omitted. 1t was simply stated
that the imperial family had decided to
discontinue exercising governmental
powers and would confine it's future ef-
forts merely to spiritual matters
Although the Mongol princes were
most bitter against abdication, they
were said to have finally consented
when the other members of the i'm"
perial clan assured them that Yuan Shi
Kai would be elected president and they
would be shown every courtesy by him.
After the edict was issued, however,
they were assailed with misgivings and
wired DR.. Sun Yat Sen threatening that
unless Yuan needed the new govern
ment they would resist the republic to
the end.
To Stay In Peking.
At a late hour today it had not been
finally decided whether the members of
the royal family would remain in Picking
or retire to one of the summer palaces.
l. was regarded as likely, however, that
they would stay in Peking. unless 1t was
believed there was danger of an out
break against them by members of their
own race, who are very bitter over the
ahdcation edict
The abdication of Pu-Wi, "son OF
heaven" marked another climax in the
series of struggles that have ragged be-
tween Manchus and Chinese for many
centuries.
lac Manchus are OF ancient origin
and legend has 1t that the founder OF
the race was of divine birth. Their
first ruler was Aisin Gioro. who named
his dynasty Manchu, or Pure"

stination has no agent. what is near

In order to recover penalty.
Before ]. w. Devore. April 13,
1911.
Opinion by Eugene Il. Gary. c. j.
Plaintiff had certain goods ship
ped to Rocky Bluff. Among them
were 100 pounds Of cabbage valued
at $1.75. The cabbage was never re-
ceived by plaintiff. and plaintiff filed
a claim therefor with the defend
ants agent at Sumter, there being no
agent at Rocky Bluff. Oswego is the
nearest station having an agent. The
agent at Oswego. however, does not
remain at station, but only meets
trains and sometimes delivers freight.
He Is absent from station oftener
than present. leaves no one his place
when absent and locks up the depot.
Defendant takes the po ositiou that the
claim should have been filed with
agent at Oswego and failure to do SO
prevents the recovery of the statutory
penalty. The circuit Judge held thai
claim was properly filed at Sumter
and defendant liable for penalty. De-
fendant appealed.
The supreme court held that:
The statute contemplates the filing
OF the claim with the agent at point
OF destination. IL re fails to keep
reasonable business hours, such con-
duct would naturally tend to cause
great inconvenience and loss of time
to the party filing the claim. The
defendant has not the right to i'm
pose Inconvenience and loss Of time
upon such party, and II he files his
claim with the agent at the nearest
station when reasonable business
hours are kept. 1t is estopped from
raising the objection that the claim
should have been filed at n near sta
tion.
Judgment below affirmed.
