WARMER WAVE TO
BRING RELIEF FOR
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Weather Forecaster Here
Says Frigid Spell Will
End at Midnight.

The unreasonable weather, which has
mado all Washington and the Eastern
section of the United States shiver for
the last forty-elght hours, should come
to an end by tonight at midnight.
Last nights cold wave, which swept
the city, sending the thermometer needle
down to degrees above zero, gradually
MS losing its grip. The Weather Bureau
says that by the middle of the afternoon
the wind will have lost its sting.
The biting wind, which came out of
the West, last night, had the effect Of
keeping the city folk within doors. But
was believed 1t had done. After o'clock
this morning the mercury began to go
upward, and return to comfortable
weather Is scheduled.
Tho cold spell Is national in character
From every section of the United states
have come reports of uncomfortable
weather and of great damage to prop
erty. The cold wave extends as far
South as the Mexican border, and covers
the entire Northern part of the United
States from Maine to Oregon.
In Washington the chief cause of COM
plant has been the slippery sidewalks
The Street Cleaning Department has
found It impossible to clear the thin
coating of ice from the sidewalks, and
many falls have resulted.
There are no indications at present,
the forecasters say, that another cold
wave will be visited upon the country
in the near future. The weather this
week promises to be generally fair, ex-
cept for a period of SHOWS and rains,
which will appear in the far West on
Tuesday or Wednesday, cross the mid
die West about Thursday, and reach the
Eastern States Friday or Saturday.
over the North Atlantic steamship
routes stormy weather is scheduled to
continue.

OLDEST EMPIRE IS
NOW THE YOUNGEST
REPUBLIC IN WORLD
Emperor Pu vi Abdicates
and Gives Edict to Yuan
Shi Kai.

PEKING, Feb. 5.-The oldest empire
in the world today became the youngest
republic.
The signed edict, announcing the alb
dication of Emperor Pu VI, was in the
hands of Premier Yuan Shi Kai, who,
1t was announced, would make it pub
lie as soon as final negotiations had
been closed with the provisional gov
ernment, headed by DIR. Sun Vat Sen.
Prince Kung, who headed the faction
which opposed abdication, departed for
Manchuria, vowing that he would never
submit to dictation by the southern Ce-
lestial, and declaring history would re-
peat Itself in the near future, when
the Tartars from the north would again
sweep down upon the Chinese.
The edict of abdication was formally
turned over to Yuan Shi Kai after the
Dowager Empress, the boy Emperor.
and Prince Chun had prayed fervently
at the tombs of their ancestors. The
Empress tearfully begged the premier
not to make the abdication public un-
til every precaution had been taken
to protect the royal family from a
threatened outbreak by Manehus, who
swore bloody revenge II the terms OF
the revolutionists were granted.
1t was generally believed today that
the republicans at Nankin would agree
to permit DIR. Sun Vat Sen and Yuan
Shi Kai to act Jointly in governI.-
China until after national convention
had been held to draft a constitution
and elect a president
The fact that the Empress called on
Yuan to establish a republic when she
handed the abdication decree TO him
was interpreted here to mean hat she
had received assurances that the pre-
mier would be elected president The
Il H. ~
treachery it has hurled at Yuan, be-
lleves he is the strongest man in China.
