MANCHUS GIVE
WAY TO PEOPLE
DYNASTY WHICH HAS LASTED
NEARLY THREE CENTURIES
PASSES INTO HISTORY.
New China, With Four Hundred Mil
lion Subjects, Begins Career as
Republic Upon Surrender of the
Throne by Child Emperor.

Pekin. - China has joined the
sisterhood of the worlds republics.
In three imperial edicts the Manchu
dynasty on Monday changed 100000.
600 subjects of an absolute ruler to
citizens of the largest self-governing
nation on the earth.
The first edict announced the alb
3ication of the dynasty after 300
years of absolute rule, the second
declared that the throne accepted
the republic, and the third approved
all the conditions agreed on by Pre-
mier Yuan Shi Kai and the repub-
licans.
The third edict created great as
constituent. 1t had been expected
that the Manchus would demand
conditions which would safeguard
many of their privileges, but accord
ing to the proclamation the surren-
der is unconditional. The edict in
formed the viceroys and provincial
governors of the retirement of the
throne from political power and in.
structed them to continue doing
their 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 peo,
pie.
Victory Won by 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 November,
1908, when the Emperor Kwang Su,
his uncle, died. His father, Prince
Chun, was appointed regent and was
the chief figure in China for three
years.
Surrounded by large number OF
princes of the Manchu 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 dissatisfac
ton which led to his resignation on
December 6, 1911.
The promise of a constitutions
government made by the dowagel
empress on her death bed in 1905
was not fulfilled in any way unit
May last year. In that month an i'm
perial edict abolished the old grand
council which, together with the
court, held absolute power. and sub
stituted constitutional cabinet.
Revolutionary ideas had beer

and broke into open revolt. Ate

Negotiations between the republi

and an armistice was arranged. Thi

suit that the Manchu rulers, seein
that China proper was almost Ell

that it was their best policy to yiel

one lock at Pedro Miguel and two
locks at Mira Flores, on the Pacific
side Each lock will have usable
length Of 1000 feet and width of 40
feet, which will be the minimum width
Of the canal,
The canal will be so miles long from
the deep water of the caribbean sea to
the deep water Of the Pacific ocean,
and the width Of the channel will
vary from 1000 feet south of the Gatun
locks to 800 feet near the Pedro Miguel
locks. The minimum depth will be Al
feet.
In several places several boats in
the canal viii be able to pass abreast
The reason the canal will not be in
use for commercial purposes until De-
cember 1914, Is because numerous
tests of the locks and gates are to be
made to insure perfect working before
large vessels are permitted to pass
through.
The World to Participate.
It is further announced that all the
navies Of the world are to be invited
to participate in the formal opening
Of the canal, and that representatives
Of all governments are to be invited
to attend and participate in the elab-
crate ceremonies of the occasion. The
president is expected to attend in per-
son, and practically the entire navy
will be mobillzed at the gates between
the two oceans.
The total amount expended on the
