DICTATOR RULES China.
YUAN EXPELS OPPONENTS FROM
PARLIAMENT.
President Issues Proclamation Expell-
ing Three Hundred Members -
Martial Law Enforced In Pckin.

Peking, Nov. 5.-The struggle be-
tween the Chinese parliament and
President Yuan Shi Kai has brought
about drastic action by the president,
which in the opinion of many, will
have a serious effect or parliamentary
government. Lengthy presidential
proclamations were issued at mid
night eXpelling the Kwo Ming Tang
party, numbering more than 800
members, from parliament.
The prOclamatiOns recount the diff
ferenccs with which the government
has been struggling since the Manchu
regime and describes disasters which
are certain to follow il parties such
as the Kwo Ming Tang are permitted
to exist.
A crisis in the situatinO last week
was reached when the draft of the
proposed constitution was made by
the president absolutely dependent
upon the parliament.
Martial law is in operation in Pc
king. The authorities are engaged in
making arrests; and summary execu-
tiOns which have been numerous since
the rebellion began, it is understood
will continue. Preparations are un
der way for the elder statesmen who
served under the Manchus to resume
their positions in the cabinet
At various legations The opinion is
held that only strong action could
prevent the disruption Of China by
her own people. Very little has been
accomplished by parliament, which
has devoted it's time to opposing the
president since it convened, while dis
orders are spreading.

New York, Nov. 4.-William Sulzer,

to the State assembly today from the
Sixth district. The vote was unexpect-
cdly close, but party leaders tonight
admitted his election at 1890. Sulzer
ran on the Progressive ticket and ap-
parently polled more votes than his
Republican and Democratic opponents
combined. His old neighbors on the
East Side rallied strongly to his sup

he had overcome the opposition. There

New rates by express, ordered by

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 3.-Edward p.
Grosvenor, concluding the first por-
ton Of his final argument for the
government in the suit to dissolve the
international Harvester Company, this
afternoon declared to Judges Of the
United States District Court that un-
less the Harvester Trust" is disin-
teGrated two families within few
years will own a monopoly Of every
implement made in this country for
the American farmer. The special as
sistant to Attorney General Mickey

heads of these families as taracter-
lied them as willing Sc their

Then with dotted . of the agri.

Grosvenor showed ocation of 4O,-
600 local agents alers which he
declared were bu 1rtion of the vast
selling machine ominated by the
international ester Company
Through the medium Of general sales
commission, said Mr.. Grosvenor, act
ing directly through district man.
ager, the local dealer was forced to
accept the dictates of the trust or
be crushed. Also, the Federal lawyer
said, the local dealer was used to keep
the corporation informed of compe-
tition.
The Federal prosecutor touching on
the answer of the defendants as filed
with the court in the Harvester Com
pany brief, said:
THE answer of these defendants is
solely the naming of an intent to ex-
, pand their foreign business. Or in
other words, they demand to be per-
mitted to break the laws of this coun-
i.fy 80 that their business may ex-
pand. That, l insist, is the sum and
substance of their answer, and as the
court we'll knows, this is no justfica,
ton"
Mr.. Grosvenor quoted precedents in
the Union Pacific case, the Trans
Missouri freight case, the Northern
Securities case, the bath tub case, the
4, o;x
as substantiating his contention for all
lack of Justification.
Going into that portion of the de-
PENDANTS answer labelled growing
competition" MIR. Grosvenor directed
the courts attention to the evidence of
Matt Sprule, of Sparta, Ill.,, called as
witness to substantiate claims Of
competition made by counsel for the
Harvester Company.
That case of Matt Sprule, if il
please the court said Mr.. Grosvenor
lis fairly typical of the sort of COM
petition that this powerful monopoly
has met since it's organization.
Let us read the testimony Of Mr.
Sprulc. II shows that in the year OF
1907 Mr.. Sprule's concern manufac-
tured one machine, in 1908, two ma
chimes, in 1909 three machines, in
1910 three machines, in 1911 three
machines and in 1912 two ma
chimes. These figures, compared with
the more than one hundred thousand
machines that the International Har.
vester Company sold annually, will
give an ideas as to the sort of com.
petition the trust was forced to
meet"
Mr.. GrosvenOr completed the first
portion Of his argument and yielded
TO Judge McHugh, of counsel for the
defence, shortly before the close of
the afternoon session of court. Judge
McHugh had just begun his argument
when court adjourned for the day.

Kidnapped by Aviators.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 22.-
Formal complaint was filed today with
the foreign office by the mayor of the
little town of Flock, near the Poland
Austrian frontier, that he was kidnap-
ed by two Austrian aviators few
nights ago.
According to his story, hearing the
whir of an aeroplane he went out,
armed only with his insignia of Office,
to arrest the trespassers, whereupon
the two airmen seized him, bound him
hand and foot, dashed him to the body
of the machine and resumed their
flight. They finally landed so miles
away in lonely field where they re-
leased him. Before he could give the
alarm they had vanished across the
frontier.
