Pekin, China. - The princes OF the
imperial clan, a number Of leading
Manchu officials and several members
Of the government had protracted
conference with the empress dowager
at the palace, but again separated
without arriving at a 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 LANG, 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

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. II 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.

several times to participate in the con-
ference Of the princes blu: he stead.

government has sent an appeal to the
powers for recognition. This took the
form of a 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

II appears to be absolutely certain
that fighting between the revolution
lists and the imperialists will be re
sumed on the morning of Jan. 90. un
less Premier Yuan Shi Kai concede
the demands of the republican govern
ment. These demands, which wer
telegraphed to Premier Yuan Shi Ia
at Pekin. are very drastic and sub
stantially as follows:
!. The abdication of the throne an,
the surrender OF the sovereign power
are demanded.
2. No Manchu may participate Il

The memory of deceased soldiers was
reverenced and honored all over the coun.
try on Thursday as never before, and the
observance Of the day in Mount Holly was
especially noteworthy.

was carried out In every detail, the work
of decorating the graves being about com
pleted at noon when the church bells
tolled for five minutes. This solemn trib-
ute was new and impressive and there
were many uncovered heads.
The center of attraction during the
afternoon and evening was the home of
Mount Holly Lodge of Moose, No, 1877
the feature being the raising of flag pre-
sented to the lodge by its secretary,
Robert Peacock. The speech of accept
ance was made by Dictator James M.

A New Order.

The Sealer of Weights and Measures
has Issued an order referring to the use Of
boxes for Ice cream. 1t is published In
another part of TIE NEWS 1t makes the
sale of Ice cream Illegal except In quart
and pint boxes, full measure. The idea
impaired by the county official is that
dealers In ice cream must cease using the
small boxes In which the summer refresh.
ment is served at ten cents and five cents
a box. If purchasers wish to carry
Ice cream home they must have with them
when making the purchase. tumbler,
bowl or something of that sort In which
to place the article.
This may be correct, but it is doubtful
II any such order can be enforced. To
make dealers use quart and pint boxes OF
full capacity is, beyond doubt, within the
realm of authority of the officers. But to
say that any one cannot sell ten cents
worth In any sort of box seems all non
sense. When the customer asks for q
quart he is entitled to that amount, but II
he asks for ten cents worth and the dealer
only gives him a tablespoonful and puts 1t
in quart box 1t is difficult to see where 1t
Is Illegal.
The state superintendent has been look
ing over the ground and has found that
the boxes are not up to standard In many
instances, some of the quart boxes being
short seven ounces, the pint boxes show
ing deficiency of one to three ounces.
This 1t is proposed to rectify, and it is
quite likely that the order refers only to
those measures.
Since the first Of February 1900 defect
i've scales and 1000 crooked measures
haYe been confscated, $1,000 In fines for
violations of the law having been collected.
