4 REAL REPUBLIC
Rule Of the Manchu Dynasty
Is Ended.
BOY EMPER0R's ABDICATON
Three Edicts issued Announcing the
Unconditional Surrender OF the
Throne To the Conditions
OF the Republicans.

Picking. After three centuries Of
absolute rule the Manchu dynasty
yielded up its power and abdicated the
throne Of China in favor Of repre-
sentative form of government. This
was proclaimed in three simultaneous
edicts, the first announcing abdica-
ton; the second declaring that the
throne accepted the republic, while
the third approved all the conditions
agreed upon by Premier Yuan-Shi-Kai
and the republicans This edict, ap-
proving Of all the conditions agreed
upon between Yuan-ShiKai and the
republican representatives., created
much establishment. It had been ex-
pected that the Manchus would de-
mand conditions which would safe
guard many of their privileges, but &C
cording to the proclamation their sur
render is unconditional.
The third edict informed the
viceroys and provincial government Of
the retirement of the throne from
political power and instructed them to
continue doing their duty and to pre-
serve order throughout the land.
1t declared that the step taken BY
the throne was in order to meet the
wishes Of the people.
The publication of the edicts has
given profound relief to every one in
Picking, both foreigners and Chinese.
The arrangement is considered to be
skillful compromise and 1t is beliey-
ed that the terms will satisfy the re-
publicans. The first edict provides that
the terms shall be communicated to
the foreign legations for transmission
to their respective governments, the
object being to record worldwide the
republican pledges.
In consideration for abdication the
Republicans make the following eight
pledges to the Emperor: First, the
Emperor shall retain his title and
shall be respected as foreign mon
arch; second, the Emperor shall re-
ceive an annual grant OF 100000 taels
until the currency is reformed, after
which he shall receive $4,000.000
Mexican; third, temporary residence
shall be provided in the Forbidden
City, and later the imperial family
shall reside in the summer palace, ten
miles outside of Picking; fourth, the
Emperor may observe the sacrifices at
his ancestral. tombs and temples.
which will be protected by Republi-
can soldiers; fifth, the great tomb Of
the late Emperor, Kwang-Su, will be
completed and the funeral ceremony
flttingly observed at the republics ex-
pense; sixth, the palace attendants
may be retained, but the number Of
eunuchs cannot be increased: seventh.
the Emperor's property will be pro-
tected by the republic; eighth, the Inn
perial guards will be governed by the
army board. the republic paying their
salaries.
Princes Retain titles.
Four-piedges for the treatment Of
the imperial kinsmen follow
First. the princes, dukes and others
having hereditary titles shall retain
their ranks; second, the nobility shall
have the rights and privileges of
ordinary citizens; third, their private
properties will be protected; fourth,
the nobility shall be permitted exemp-
ton from military service.
