but His Clerks Get Dismissal.

Jeheran.-The treasury crisis has
taken an extraordinary turn. Acting
under the instructions of the cabinet,
M. Mornard, the Belgian ex-direetor or
Persian customs, summarily took pos
session of the treasury Offices, refusing
to recognize the status of 4. f. Cairns,
the American who was left in charge by
W. Morgan Shuster, the deposed treas
uNr-g general when the latter left 1e
heran January 10 for the United
States.
M. Mornard, in acquainting Mr..
Cairns and the other American Of
icials with the contents of the cabi-
net IS message told them that if there
was further delay in turning over the
treasury, not only would they be dis
missed from their positions but pun
ished.
A statement makes it appear that
Mr. Shuster, the American treasurer,
had been paid $4,000 by the Persia.
government in full satisfaction of his
claims. He had a contract calling for
compensation of $4,000 year for
three years. After that time the con
tract was to be voidable upon six
months notice and payment of bonus
of the salary for that period of time.
So, although Mr.. Shuster had served
less than year, the Persian govern
ment paid him for three years and six
months service.
The IA American employees under
Shusher wish to quit the service of
Persia under the same conditions, al
though some of them have served only
month, and none of them more than
six months. AS the Persian govern
ment had not dismissed these men.
Secretary Knox saw no legal ground
for supporting their claims.

Peking.-The empress dowager, rec

ess without foreign financial assist

asked Yuan Shi Kai to conclude the
best possible arrangement in eonnec-
ion with the retirement of the imperial
family.
Premier Yuan Shi Kai- intends to re-
main in Peking and maintain control
pending final arrangements with the re-
publicans. 1t is understood the leading
powers are ready to support Yuan Shi
Kai, believing he is the one strong
leader capable of graphing with the
situation, especially in view of the
discord among republican leaders.
Dispatches from the provinces report
many murders and the footing and
burning of houses. Hundreds of women
are committing suicide in fear of ban

atrocities.

the Chinese seyolution to another turn

will decide whether order is to be re-
stored or hostilities are to be reopened
after six weeks :. armistice. Ini the
latter event the bloodshed and reign
of terror probably will far exceed any
previous record.
A review of the situation to-. the
south of the River Yangtse show:
that the republican position has been
strengthened materially. DR.. Sun Vat
Sen is rapidly completing his provis
ional government. and the organization
of different departments.
Since the organization of the re

Huang Sing has been busy. Orders
he has just issued show that prepare

Surprising even the most sanguine
expectations lis the victory that the
national Democracy has won with
Wilson and Marshall at it's head.
Thirty-nine states declare for Wood
row Wilson, his policies and those of
the Democratic party. It was known
almost certainly, prior to the elec-
ton en- Tuesday that the Princeton
Schoolmaster would run far ahead of
the truculent Bull Moose or the
suaVe and smiling Taft. Returns
show that the lastnamed made a
poor third. Col. Roosevelt carried
the progressives of the Republican
party along with him, and the result
Is that the grand old party" is now
disrupted and disorganized by his ra-
pacity for a third term.
