edict from the hands of her majesty,
the dowager empress:
In consequence of the uprising of
the republican army, to which the
people of the provinces of China have
responded, the empire is seething like
a boiling caldron, and the people are
plunged in misery.
Yuan Shi Kai was, therefore, COM
manded to dispatch commissioners in
order to confer with the republicans
with a view to the calling of a ma
tional assembly to decide on the fu-
ture form of government. Months
have elapsed, and no settlement is
now evident.
THE majority of the people are in
favor of a republic. From the prefer
ence of the peoples hearts, the will
of heaven is discernible. How could
we oppose the desires of millions for
the glory of one family?
Let Yuan Shi 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 great republic
with the union of Manchus, Chinese,
Mongols, Mohammedans and Tibet
ans.
1--WE, the empress dowager and the
emperor, will thus be enabled to live
in retirement, free of responsibilities
and cares, and enjoying without in
terruption the nations courteous
treatment"

Secretary Of state KNOCKS Visit toscar-
rlbbean Republic Has World
Il. XII wide Significance.

V Washington. ~ Worldwide signif-
canoe attaches to the visit soon to
be made by Secretary Knox, at the
direction of President Taft, to the
countries bordering on the Caribbean
sea. 49, '+'
European diplomats, recalling re-
cent speech Of Mr.. Knox before the
New York State Bar association, on
the Monore doctrine, look upon the
proposed trip with more than pas
sive interest. That speech is now
being interpreted as the latest notice
given by the United States that the
principle of America for Americans
must be observed.
Central American diplomats were
unanimous in their statements that
the secretary's visit not only would
allay interal doubt as to the attitude
of the United States government to-
ward their countries but would warn
off possible encroachments of nations
in the other hemisphere.
The present state of unrest in many
Latin-American countries the efforts
of the state department to maintain
neutrality as between the republics
of the South, and its endeavors to I'M
ravel their financial tangles have pro-
ceeded, it is said, not without the
potential influences of world powers
Particular attention was drawn by
a number of diplomats, discussing the
wide circulation now being given to
Secretary Knox's speech, to those por-
tons in which he advocated the i'm
mediate adoption of the loan conven-
tions with Nicaragua and Honduras,
now pending in the United States SEN
ate. It was pointed out that Mr..
Knox had urged their passage because
of "the ever-increasing political rea-
son of avoiding the danger of Euro
pean ENHANCEMENT in the affairs of
the countries surrounding the Carrib-
bean"
1t was announced that the adopted
policy of the United States-to boil
ster up the countries in trouble on
this henisphere-had in a measure
been consequence of pressure from
European countries. To prevent inter
ference in countries where European
financial interests have suffered losses
through the volatile and incompetent
administrations of Central American
politicians, the United States has
taken a decided stand.
1t is understood that aside from
the moral effect that Secretary Knox's
visit may have in removing suspicious
of American territorial agrandize-
ment. the heads of various Central
American countries will receive a
personal legislation of the hopes of
the United States with reference to
the Panama canal.
Opinion was general among the
Central American diplomats that Pres
ident Taft had chosen an opportune
moment to send Secretary Knox to
the Caribbean.

FOLK QUITS FOR CLARK
Former Governor of Missouri Retlres
From Presidential Race.

st. Louis.-Gov. Joseph w. Folk
withdrew as an active candidate for
the Democratic nomination for pres
ident. He withdrew after he had re.
ceived a telegram from Champ Clark,
in which he agreed to divide the Mis-
souri, delegation to the Democratic ma
tional convention as recently suggest
ed by William ]. Bryan.
Mr.. Folk not only agreed to divide
the delegation but asked his friends
to make no further effort for him.
Friends of Mr.. Folk said he will
have half of the state delegation
which is to be selected at Joplin on
February 20, but that the Folk men
on the delegation will. support Mr..
Clark. If it is seen that Speaker
Clark cannot get the nomination on
a reasonable number of ballots in the
Baltimore convention the former gov
ernor will consider that he has the
right to enter the race for the nomi-
nation.

latest dispatches received here. The
American guard at Managua has given
a feeling Of security to all American
and other foreign residents.
1t is understood that General Mena
after being deposed from the war min
istry, promised there would be no
outbreak If he were permitted to
leave the capital. He disregarded his
promise. His son, the commandant at
Granada, seized the fortress there
with considrabl arms and munitions
and this has become the focus of the
rebellion.
An attack was made on Rivas by
way of Nicaragua Lake, the reovlu-
tionists having control of two steam
ers. This attack was repulsed by Cen
eral Masis, commanding the govern
ment forces, which doubtless pre-
vented the capture Of San Juan Del
Sur. The main body of the rebels Is
within close range Of Managua. Con-
siderable railway rolling stock is in
the hands of the insurgents, and guer-
rilla bands have cut the railway.
