Roosevelt Accepts Invitation to Speai
in Ohio.

New York, Feb. 13.-The announce
ment that Colonel Roosevelt had ac-
cepted an invitation to address the
Ohio constitutional convention on Feb.
21 caused some surprise here In view
of the fact that for several weeks the

to make any public speeches.
1t was believed likely that the colo
mel would take advantage OF the oc-
casion to outline the policies on which
he will make the race for the presi
dency If he is nominated.
Only few days ago the colone
told delegation from the Georgia 80
ciety that he could not address the
annual banquet of the organization.
"If I accepted he said, Il wouit

over 200 other invitations which

ITS SURRENDER
UNCONDITIONAL
Chinese Throne Issues Edict
Of AbdicatiOn.
RULED THREE CENTURIES

Present Manchu Dynasty Has Been In
Absolute Control of the Celestial
Empire Since 1644-RevoIutionary
Movement Responsible for Retire
ment Of Present Emperor.
Peking, Feb. 13.-After three centu.
rfes OF absolute rule the Manchu dy
nasty has yielded up it's power and alb
dicated the throne of China in favor
of representative form of govern
ment. This was proclaimed in three
simultaneous edicts, the first announc
ing abdication; the second declaring
that the throne accepted the republic
while the third approved all the condi
tions agreed upon by Premier Yuan Shi
Kai and the republicans. This edict,
upon between Yuan Shi Kai and the
republican representatives, created
even much astonishment. 1t has been
expected that the Manchus would de-
mand conditions which would safe
guard many of the privileges, but ac-
cording to the proclamation the sur
render is unconditional. The third
edict informed the viceroys and pro-
vincial governors of the retirement of
the throne from political power and
instructed them to continue doing
their duty and to preserve order
throughout the land
1t declared that the step taken by
the throne was in order to meet the
wishes of the people.
Held Sway Since 1914.
The abdication of the Chinese
throne by Pu VI, the child emperor,
brings to an end the powerful Manchu
dynasty which has reigned In China
since 1914.
The boy ruler has been on the
throne since Nov. IA, 1908, when the
emperor Kwang Su. his uncle, died.
His father, Prince Chun, was appoint
ed regent and was the chief figure in
China for three years.
Surrounded by large number OF
princes of the imperial clan and Man
chu officials with reactionary ideas
the regent was brought fact to face
with revolutionary movement In
favor OF modern reforms. He endeav'
ored to placate both parties but ended
by causing general dissatisfaction
which led to his resignation on Dec
s, 1911.
The promise of constitutional gov
ernment made by the dowager EN-
press on her death bed in 1908 was
not fulfilled in any way until May last
year. In that month an imperial edic'
abolished the old grand council which
together with the court held absolute
power and substituted constitutions

Open Revolt Flamed Forth.
Revolutionary ideas had been spread
ing in the meantime and the southern
proyinces declared against the con
tinuation of Manchu rule and brok'
into open revolt. After much figurint
