MANCHU RULERS OF CHINESE EMPIRE
 STILL AT PEKING

Picking, July 12.-Contrary to dec- 1arations made at the time the throne abdicated in favor of the Republic, sixteen months ago, the Court of the old Manchu rulers of the Chinese En- pire still remains at Peking.
 The terms of the final agreement with the representatives of the new republican government provided that the Manchu nobles, including all the members of the reigning family, should retain their hereditary title and be literally pensioned. and that the young Emperor, after his abdica- ton, should be accorded in China the honors given visiting foreign sover- eign. These stipulations have been carried out. At the same time 1t was declared the Court would even t1al1y move away from thee Forbidden City, but no steps in this direction yet been taken. There has not even been an exodus to the Summer Palace or to the ancient palaces at Jehol. which were mentioned at the time of abdicatfon as places of possible re- tirement Some minor MancFu prin- ces and officials have deserted their residences in Peking and moved away, generally to the foreign settlements at Tientsin, or to Manchuria where they can obtain Japanese or Russian pro- tection if occasion arises. But the ex-prince regent and Pa-Yi, the boy Emperor, now seven years old, still re- side in the palaces occupied by the reigning family for 26s years, and Irn- peria1 Guards still forbid entrance to their palace compounds.
 The Manchu troops continue in arms and obey the instructions of President Yuan Shih-k'ai in all mat ters that do not affect the safety of the court. Should there be a conflict of authority between the President and the court it is believed they would stand by the Manchus; but the interests of the Republican President and those of the Forbidden City have not conf1icted. Indeed, it is believ- ed in the Legation Quarter that they are closely allied. It is thought among foreign observers that the court depends on Yuan Shih-k'a ai for reg ular payment of it's pension from the Republic. and, on the other hand, that Yuan may be compelled at any mo- ment to re-estabIish the dynasty and proclaim himself regent in order to give his orders the weight of Imperial authority. At present, with a hos tile parliament, presidential orders which are essential to the mainten-

ance of the Government, do not re- ceive the sanction of any organized
 body of lawmakers
 A question interesting to old observ- CTS who knew China under the dynas- ty is whether the Empress Dowager, who recently died, will be the last Elm press of China. If the Republic suc- ceeds there will probably be no other.
 Two striking changes have taken place in the appearance Of Picking as result of the revolution. One IS considered g. dishgurement; the other an improvement, and a great disad- vantage. The disagreement is the disappearance of the Manchu cart, which an American lady of literary gifts once characterized as Portals Casket on Whee1s.'' The brilliantly colored Sedan chair, borne high on tho shoulders of four or eight coolies. dis appeared to a large extent after the Boxer Rising of 1900, and has since been used only at funerals and we'd dfngs, and by a few ultra-smart for eign legation ladies, who adopted the old when the Chinese began adopting the new.
 Now the Picking cart is being rapid ly displaced by the European carriage. Only the poorer classes are still rid ing in these little b1ue-covered spring less carts with huge brass-studded wheels. Along with the adoption of the broWgham the Chinese outriders of this new official vehicle are adopt ing European saddles for their ponies in place of the gay caparisons in use under the dynasty; and instead of flowing dresses of white or light blue, with red streamers to their hats, the sonbre garb of the west is being af- fected by these outriders in imitation of their republican masters.
 On the other hand Pekin of the peo- pie has been made much more beauti- full by the opening up of several road ways through the Forbidden City, and also by the breaking of several new gates in the wall of the Imperial City. As is known to all Americans who have visited Peking, the city is a place of walls within walls. The Forbid den City, where the court resides, is within the Imperial City, which in turn is within the Tartar City, sur rounded by the great Peking wall. Again the Legation Quarter, the Southern City, and the Winter Palace, where the great Empress Dowager Iiv- ed, and which Yuan Shih-k'ai. the President, now occupies, are enclosed within their own piles of masonry. Under the Manchu regime the entire extent of the Forbidden City and that of the Winter Palace were guarded by Imperial troops, who refused passage to all but privileged officials and for eign diplomatists when they were hon. ored with audiences at court As these extensive palace enclosures lay directly across the centre of Picking, traffic was badly irnpeded and had to make long detours round them.

We like to see and hear a man
who is proud of his home town.
He is an indispensable citizen,
although he may be as poor as
church mouse; but his name
should be written in large letters
at the entrance gate of his city
as an honor to his memory. We
have such with us and they are
worth more to the progress of
our little city than their weight
in gold. They know every point
of interest and of advantage for
miles around; and any stranger
falling into their hands will
soon learn everything that adds
to the honor of our city and will
be most favorably impressed.
Such persons overlook with true
patriotism all short comings and
magnify with honest citizenship
every advantage. MT. Pleasant

|oTHER TOWNS
ARE BOOSTING


AS will be seen from the ex-
tractssbelow, taken from papers
in the south part of the state,
other towns are hustling for
business and new people, and in
order to get the best results, are
placing special stress on their
commercial clubs ands imilar
organizations.
In last weeks issue of the Pro-
gress appeared an article stat
ing that what we needed in Fill
more was a good live BOOST
ERS' CLUB. Are there any of
this kind of people in Fillmore
at the present time? If so come
out and show yourself at a meet
ing which has been called for
the purpose of organizing a real
live BOOSTERS CLUB, next
Monday evening, June 9th in
the Star Theatre Building. If
you are a BOOSTER. you are
the man we want to help organ
ize. It makes no difference what
your religious belief is, or your
political belief either, as the
club will be strictly non-sec-
tartan and non-partisan if or
ganized. We want BOOSTERS.
There is no limit to the good
which can be accomplished by
an organization of this kind.
SO COME OUT!-Fillmore Pro-
gress Review.
Chats right; get boosters to-
gether. A town can't do much
if it has no boosters; people
from other places don't want to
see a dead town..
About ten new applicants are
posted for membership in the
commercial club. Action will
be taken on these names at the
regular meeting next Tuesday,
