Manifesto - Edict
of Abdicati0n.

AonAhes HOo. IL. hlttI OCCu1ys
ing the throne of China for nearly
three centuries the Manchu dynasty,
represented by the child emperor,
Pu vi, abdicated today. Three
edicts were issued, the first proclaim
ing abdication, the second dealing
with the establishment of the Re-
public, and the third urging the
maintenance of peace and approx.
ing the conditions agreed upon by
the 1mperiar Premier Yuan Shi Kai
and the Republicans.
. The text of the first Imperial
edict, issued by the throne at noon
today, is as follows: .
EDICT OF ABDIcATIoN., ''@-
We, the Emperor of China,
have respectfully received today the
following 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 boiling caldron and
the people are plunged in misery.
Yuan Shi Kai was, therefore,
commanded to dispatch commits
sioners to confer with the republi-
cans with view to the calling of q
National Assembly to decide on the
future form of government. Months
have elapsed and no settlement is
now evident. u, ~,

The majority of the people are
in favor of Il Republic. From the
preference OF the peoples hearts the
will OF heaven is discernable. How
could we oppose the desires of mil
lions for the glory Of one family?
Therefore, we. the Dowager EN-
press and the Emperor, hereby vest
the sovereignty of the Chinese EN-
piIe in the people.
Let Yuan Shi Kai organize 10
the full the powers Of the provisional
republican government and confer
with the republicans as to the meth
ods OF union, assuring peace in the
Empire and forming a great Rnpub-
lie with the union of Manchus, Chi
nese, Mongols. Mohammedans and
Tibetans.
We, the Empress Dowager and
the Emperor, will thus be enabled
to live in retirement, free OF respon-
sibilities and cares and enjoying
without interruption the nations
courteous treatment.

CASHIER WRITES BLEASE

tofofe," as to Paying
Interest, Being
Added.

Columbia, Feb. 13.-Correspond-
ence relative to the famous State
loan dispute was given out tonight.
State Treasurer r. H. Jennings asks
Mr.. J. P. Matthews, cashier, three
qlestions: First, WAS it neces-
sary for the Governor to go to New
York to effect the loan?" Second.
Was it intended to lend the money
at lower rate than was offered in
the bid?" Third. What was the
agreement as to INTEREST,""
Replying, Cashier Matthews said:
L will say that it was not necessary
for the Governor or any other Of
ficer to go to New York" for the
money offered at 8 per cent, under
the.bid of April II. 1t was the
custom of State official to go to
New York for the protection that
such officer could give to the State"
Second. 1T was not intended to
get or offer cheaper money than was
bid for" Third. There was no
agreement as to interest"
MATTHEW'S WRITES TO BLEAsE.
Then Mr.. Matthews wrote Govern
or Blease long letter, the purport
of which is that Mr.. Matthews
dictated q letter on the loan matter
at the Governors Office. and that it
was not as he dictated it. Mr..
Matthews says:' when the letter
was presented 10 me TO be signed, y
my attention was called to the fact
that there had been some repetitions
in the wording of the original draft,
and to the fact that the letter had
been rewritten. / was very busy at
time, and on being assured that the
letter was in all respects substantial.
ly the same, ! signed the letter,
without comparing it with the
original draft, except for the first
paragraph.
DECLARES SENSE DIFFERENT.
Il now fnd that, in copying the
letter. certain changes had been
made, which makes the sense dif-
ferent from what l intended and
somewhat misleading. l did not
get the opportunity to look over the
copy of the letter signed till late
yesterday afternoon, as l was not
only very busy, but had to be out
Of my Office for two hours in the
afternoon. l learned, however, that
you had already sent in your mes
sage to the Legislature"
Mr.. Matthews says: The mat
ter Of paying interest on balances
was not referred to at all during
our entire trip"
SAYS HERETOFORE" ADDED.
The word heretofore" as paying
interest, was not in the first copy.
The word heretofore was added
in the copy signal. and did not ap.
pear in the original
Mr.. Matthews coca on to say: In
reading the letters over you will
notice that other mistakes have
been made. In other words, in at
tempting " revise the wording Of
letter. it has been very much con
fused and the meaning completely
twisted. ! think it nothing but
proper to call your attention to
these changes, which ! did not
notice when / signed.'

fuses the issues made but settles
