FOREIGN NEWS

Picking, July 14.-Contrary to declar-
atiCns 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 Picking.
The terms of the final agreement
with the representatives of the new
republican government provided that
the Manchu mobiles, including all the
members of the reigning family,
should retain their hereditary titles
and be literally pensioned, and that
the young emperor. after his abdica-
ton, should be accorded in China the
honOrs given visiting foreign SOW
ereign. These stipulations have been
carried out. At the same time it was
declared the court would eventually
move away from the forbidden city,
but no steps in this direction yet have
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 abdi-
cation as places of possible retire
ment. Some minor Manchu princes
( and officials have deserted their resi-
dences in Picking and moved away,
! generally to the foreign settlements
at Tinetsin, or to Manchuria where
they can obtain japanese or Russian
| protection if occasion arises. But the
ex-prince regent and Pa-Yi, the boy
emperor, now years old, still reside
| in the palaces occupied by the reign
ing family for 26S years, and imperial
| guards still forbid entrance to their
palace compounds.
The Manchu troops continue in
arms and obey the instructions OF
| President Yuan Shih-kai in all mat
| tiers and do not affect the safety OF
the court. Should there be a conflict
of authority beween the president and
the court it is believed they would
stand by the Manchus; but the inter
ests of the republican president and
those of the forbidden city have moi
confiicted. Indeed, it is believed il
the legation quarter that they are
closely allied. Il is thought among
foreign observers that the court de
ponds on Yuan Shih-k' al for a regular
payment OF its pension from the re
public, and, on the other hand, tha
Yuan may be compelled at any mo
ment to re-establish the dynasty anC
proclaim himself regent in order u
give his orders the weight of i'm
perial authority. At present, with
hostile parliament, presidential or
ners which are essential TO the main
tenance of the government, do not re
ceive the sanction of any organized
body OF lawmakers.
A question interesting to old observ
ers who knew China under the DIV
nasty is whether the empress dowager
who recently died, will be the last EN-
press of China. If the republic sue
ceeds there will probably be no other

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Prices Decline Sharply in Late
Tradinq-Weak Closing.

4 NO relief was anorded tHe sloCh
market yesterday by overnight devel-
opments Of bullish nature. and prices
continued downward following a show
Of firmness In early trading, with
result Of impressive declines In most
of the list at the close. One OF the
influences hurtful to betterment was
the apparently critical state Of AFFAIRS
in Mexico. emphasized by the requests
of various foreign representatives 10
their countries that. warships be sent
to Mexican waters as a protective
measure. Another depressing note re-
| fecting conditions abroad was con-
tanned in the foreign dispatches that
reported British underwriters had de-
cided to postpone all new security Is
sues until the investment market shall
show Improvement.
| In the early trading Of the New York
Stock Exchange there were signs OF
some improvement among the leading
issues, but the recovery lacked steam
and the market soon resolved itself
into state Of dulness which was fol-
lowed in the afternoon by weakness,
and toward the close the lowest prices
Of the day were recorded. Union Pa
cific sold down to new low for the
present decline and closed ~ points
below its final quotation Of Wednesday
United States Steel lost much OF its
appearance Of firmness, and in the final
trading showed a decline Of IN points
Reading was down 21s points at the
close, Northern Pacific ~. Southern Pa
ciflc IL, Canadian Pacific was off z
points and Amalgamated Copper Us
points. In some Of the specials losses
were even greater, and the weak closing
gave little hope Of any turn upward
during the coming days business. The
principal subject Of discussion in the
Street aside from the Mexican situa-
ton yesterday was the currency prob
lem and ex-senator Aldrich's arraign-
ment of the administration bill in his
speech at the Academy Of Political
Science banquet. In connection with
the question was report from Chicago
that James B. Forgan, president Of
the First National Bank Of Chicago
and Of the First Trust and Savings
Bank, had stated that II the bill in its
present form becomes a law he Will

the national banking system.

combined capital Of S15,OO0,OOO. a sur
plus Of $14,645.0O0 and deposits Of
size. 100000. the statement made con-
siderable impression on Wall Street.
The local money market lost some of
its steadiness and fixed maturities dis
played a declining tendency; the VOL
ume Of business, however. was reported
to be on greatly reduced scale. In
call loans renewals were made at 31a
per cent. with an abundant supply OF
funds. but no demand Of importance.
