IMPERIAL CONFERENCE At PAL.
ACE OF EMPRESS poWAGER

PRINCE OPPOSED
Manchu Outbreak In Pekin Is Feared
Situation Continues Tense.-Quan
shI kai Stays Out Of
Conference.

Pekin, China. - The princes of the
imperial clan, a number of leading
Manchu officials and several members
of the government had a protracted
conference with the empress dowager
at the palace, but again separated
without arriving at decision on the
question of abdication.
The leading princes favored an un-
conditional abdication of the throne.
Three of the younger princes together
with Tieh Liang, the former Tartar
general at Hankin, would not, how
ever, agree to the courts retirement
to Jehol, although they did not sug-
gest an alternative. There was con-
siderable effervescence in Pekin
throughout the day among both for
eign residents and the Chinese. There
were many rumors of the possibility
of a Manchu outbreak, which, how.
ever. appears unlikely at present.
The ex-regent, Prince Chun, and the
former premier, Prince Ching, visited
Premier Yuan Shi Kai and had long
conference with him. It appears the
court has not produced the gold it
promised to provide and the imperial
soldiers do not show any anxiety to
fight for glory.
Premier Yuan Shi Kai was invited
several times to participate in the con.
ference of the princes but he stead.
fastly refused as he desired to leave
the decision entirely to the court
The situation continues tense. It
seems impossible that Pekin can es-
cape eventually Manchu outbreak.
Soldiers belonging to the imperial
body guard openly distributed leaflets
summoning tho people to defend the
constitutional monarchy unto death,
but it is unlikely that any persons ex-
cept the Manchus will fight for the
monarchy.
1t is currently reported that the
irreconcilable prince Tsai Tao, brother
of the ex-regent, is inciting the Man.
chu troops to cause the trouble.
Rebels Ask Powers Recognition.
Nanking, China. - The republican
government has sent an appeal to the
powers for recognition. This took the
form of circular which was sent to
Washington, Toxic, London, Paris,
Berlin and st. Petersburg, and was
signed by Wang Chung Wei, the for
eign minister of the republican cabi-
net.
The terms of the circular are as fol-
lows:
"The Manchu government having
entered into negotiations with the Re-
public of China for the purpose of
abdicating it's entire sovereign rights,
powers and privileges we 1ervently
pray for recognition, in order to asoid
a disastrous interregnum.

The demands of the republican govern

1. The aodication of the throne and
the surrender of the sovereign powers
are demanded.
2. No Manchu may participate in

superintendent Tucker, of the Boys
Industrial School, Waialee, is in town
at present, and he had a long con-
sultation with Superintendent Pope
this morning. The school proposition
was fully gone into, and some changes
are to take place in the immediate
future.
About a dozen boys who have earn
ed sufficient credits, by good conduct,
are to be referred to Judge Whitney
as being recommended as good lads
who should be discharged from the
school 1t is probable that the boys
will be released, as they appear to
have turned over a new leaf.
The release of these boys will re-
lieve the crowded condition of the
school and, as the new building is be-
ing pushed ahead as fast as possible.
there will be more room in the future,
when the fine structures are com
pleted
With regard to the number of very
young boys who are at present at the
Industrial School, the superintendent
said this morning that as much care
as is possible is taken of them.
Superintendent Pope this morning
received letter from Commissioner
John r. Moir, regarding the Wilson
case Moir wrote to say that the
county attorney for Hawaii is looking
further into the case, and that the in
dependent investigation by the three

continued under the sovereignty of the
United States. If they were trans
ferred to the British flag, could prob
ably make a great deal more from
them-immediately, that is-than by
holding them as a part of the United
States. But, anyway, that is what
prefer to do.
THE Palmyra Islands are almost eX-
actly at the intersection of the two
great circle routes. When the Pan
ANA Canal is opened, vessels passing
through bound for the Orient will pass
very close to Palmyra. Vessels bound
from Australia to Hawaii will also
pass within a few miles of the is
lands. So there is every reason to
believe that the Palmyra Islands will
be frequently visited, especially if we
get a good harbor"

There is no doubt, from admissions
on both sides as well as other cir

he has respectfully declined to COM

RAPID TRANSIT
MAY GO TO Law

There was a conference in the Gov

the Rapid Transit Company was rep
resented. Messrs. Peek, Ballentyne
and Attorney Wilmington appeared for
the street railway company and the
matter of the paving of the city
streets between the car tracks was
discussed.
The Superintendent of Public Works
was also present and, while the
Transit company acknowledged that
it wanted to do the right thing, there
are questions of policy and law to be
considered.
The points of law may go to the
Supreme Court for decision, as the
company, while liking to have the
matter settled, has the future to con,
slider as well as the present.

job is expected to take a few days.
Then, a day or so later on, the in

JACK WEDAY HAS BULLDOG
IN TRAINING FOR CRAPSHOOTERS

The crapshooters along the water
front will have to be more careful in
future than they have been in the past,
for Harbor officer Jack Weday has
got in mind something that will be
effective. He has in training a big,
savage British bulldog, and with this
he proposes to catch the crapshooters,
or else have the little watchdogs chew
ed up.
The brute is so fierce, said Weday
this morning, that he has to be kept
securely muzzled. The finishing touch
es are now being put on the dog s
training, and in a few days he will
be out for some trial turns. The dog
will accompany Weday on his rounds
and, when a crap game is seen, We.
day will remove the dogs muzzle. With
the usual magic words of ''get 'em,
or something Of that nature, the dog
will be released from his leash. We.

will get EN-" all right, and hold at
least one by the leg until he can come
up with the animal.
