SACRIFICE IS OFFERED
TO DYNASTY'S FOUNDER
China's Ancient Beliefs Seem
to Survive Old Gov
ernment,

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
PEKING. April Is, 1912.
China's ancient beliefs would seem to
have survived her conversion to republic
canism. One Of DR.. Sun Vat Sens last
acts before vacating the Office Of presi-
dent was to offer sacrifice to the founder
OF the Ming dynasty, and to declare to
the spirits Of the departed ancestors Of
the Chinese nation the establishment Of
q free republic and the humiliation Of
the power and prestige Of the rational
enemy"
From very full account of the DAVIS
proceedings contributed by a native
writer to Shanghai paper. this quaint
rite seems to have been performed with
impressive ceremonial. The Ming tonnhs
are situated outside the walls or Nan
KING, and thither, to the strains of mar
tiaI music, the president repaired on
horseback, accompanied by the minister
OF war and brilliant staff, along q route
nned with gayly uniformed troops and. an
enthusiastic populace.
Silent and Serious.
Pale with emotion" SAYS the chron.
icler. the president looked as If the his
toric associations overwhelmed him.

hitting the occasion, he dismounted after
entering the great courtyard, and pro-
ceeded. amid music. the plaudits of the
people and the detonations of fireworks,

the mausoleum: Entering the archway.
the party came to the now roofiess GEN.
tral court. At the far end, facing the
entrance, was suspended an ancient but
splendid Hfe-size water color painting of
the Emperor HUI Hung-wu. the founder
Of the great Ming dynasty.
Immediately In front stood a large inn
perial tablet bearing in letters of gold:
The throne Of his Imperial Majesty,
table were spread the articles sanctioned
by ancient ceremonial for Offering sacri-
fees to the departed kings. Two large
red Candles were burning brilliantly and
forth wreaths of aromatic smoke.
Bows Before Tablet.
Surrounded by his staff and many
friends. Chinese and foreign, the presi-
dent faced the tablet. The master OF
ceremonies announced that the president
sent his respects to the great founder of
the Chinese dynasty. The president and
all present uncovered and made three
profound bows before the tablet. Then a
secretary read the presidents announce
ment to the spirit of the great Chinese
hero. This over. the president turned
about and made a spirited address to the
assembly. He briefly declared how. after
26O years. the nation had again recovered
her freedom, and. now that the curse Of
Manchu domination was removed, the
free peoples of a united republic could
pursue, unhampered, their rightful aspira-
tons. Three cheers for the president
were called for, and the appeal was re-
sponded to vigorously. The cheering was
taken up excessively by the crowds be-
low and then carried miles away by the
thousands OF troops, to mingie with the
booming Of distant guns"

NEW YORK, April 22.-The threatened

ing. Most Of the active issues opened
with declines. these being Offset, however,
by material advances in the specialties.
One-point gains were made in Pittsburgh
Coal preferred, Sears-Roebuck and Inter

III points. These included Reading. Le-
high Valley, Union Pacific, United States
Steel and Amalgamated Copper. All
early gains in the specialties were on.
while International Mercantile Marine
bonds and preferred shares fell to lower
prices.
Narrow fluctuations and increasing
dullness were the dominant features of
the market in the noon hour. The under
tone remained heavy, especially In the
coppers, and interest centered almost al
together in the result of the conferences
of the railway managers and their en-
Eineers Pittsburgh Coal preferred went
up ga and American Snuff 3 points.
At Level Of Lower Prices.
Various other securities went to the
general level Of lower prices in the fore
noon, and only in a few isolated cases
was any ground recovered. Sentiment
continued to be governed largely by last
weeks depressing developments. together
with the more critical stage Of the dis
pute between the railway managers and
the engineers. Activity in such issues as
American Can and Pittsburgh Coal were
without effect elsewhere, and trading fell
to unimportant proportions.
Bonds were irregular.

OUT UPON THE DIcrAToRs.

Hugh Halbert, head of the bull
moose party in Minnesota If news
paper reports may be relied upon,
telegraphed to Roosevelt, asking
whether it would be advisable to
put up a candidate against Eberhart
by petition. Now what business has
Roosevelt either advising or dictat-
ing to the Minnesota bull moose?
asks The GAINESVILLE Argus. There
are no bosses in the party. If the
presidential candidate in any manner
mikes in either by his own initiative
or by invitation he begins to approach
both the spirit and the purpose of
the political boss which he ~roundly
condemns-in fact, upon which he
bases one of the prime tenets of his
bert and Roosevelt both occupy the
same position, relatively, to the bull
moose party that other leaders in
other parties occupy? They control
the party, shape it's policies, dictate
its nominees and in so doing they
are no more and no less political
bosses than leaders in other parties.
They are following the same occu-
patton, doing the same things, re-
sorting to the same methods as do
other bosses whom they condemn.
And yet they would film fam, the
people into the belief that they were
not bosses.
