CHINA NOW JOINS SlSTERHOOD
Of THE WORLDS REPUBLICS

Picking, Feb 12.-China today join
ed the sisterhood Of the worlds re-
publics. In the imperial edicts the
Manchua dynasty changed 100000
from subjects of an absolute ruler to
citizens of the largest self-goyerning
nation on the earth. The first edict
announced the abdication Of the dy-
nasty after 800 years of absolute
rule, the second declared that the
throne accepted the republic, the
third approved all the conditions
agreed upon by Premier Yuan Shi
Kai and the republicans.
The third edict creates great as.
constituent. II had been expected
that the Manchus would demand con.
ditions which would safeguard many
of their privileges, but acordincg to
the proclamation the surrender is un-
conditional. The edict informed the
viceroys and provincial governors Of
the retirement of the throne from po-
litical power and instructed them to
continue doing duty and to preserve
order throughout the land.
1t declared that the step taken by
the throne was in order to meet the
wishes of the people
The abdication of the Chinese
throne by Pu vi, the child emperor
brings to an end the powerful Man
chu dynasty which has reigned in
China since 1914.
The boy ruler has been on the
throne since Nov. IA, 1898, when the
Emperor Kwang Su, his uncle, died.
His father, Prince Chun, was appoint
ed regent and was the chief CURE in
China for three years.
Surrounded by a large number. OF
princes of he imperial clan and Man
chu officials with reactionary ideas
the regent was brought face to face
with a revolutionary movement In
favor of modern reforms. He en-
deavored to placate both parties but
ended by causing general dlssatisfac-
ton which led to his resignation on
Dec. 6, 1911.
The promise of constitutional
government made by the dowager
empress on her death bed in 1908 was
not fulfilled in any way until May,
last year In that month an imper-
ial edict abolished the old grand
council which together with the
court, had absoluatt power and sub
stituted a constitutional cabinet.
Revolutionary ideas had been
spreading in the meantime and the
southern provinces declared against
the continuation of Manchu rule and
broke into open revolt. After much
fighting revolutionists proclaimed a
republic at Marking in December,
and DR.. Sun Vat Sen accepted the
presidency on Dec. 80.
Negotiations between the republic
ans and the iinperialists followed and
an armistice was arranged. This was
not strictly observed but the negoti-
atoms continued with the result that
the Manchu rulers, seeing that China
proper was almost entirely in favor
of the republican idea and that the
outlying dependencies of Tibet, Tur-
kestan, Mongolia and Manchuria
were breaking away, decided that it
was their best policy to yield to the
popular demand and abdicate from
power.
