PRESIDENT OF REPUBLIC AC-

COUNCIL OF STATE.
FAVOR CHANGE TO MONARCHY
Send Petition to Ruler of 100000
600 Yellow Men Urging Him to
Receive High Honor.

Picking, Dec. 13.-Yuan Shi Kai, pres
ident of the Chines0 republic, has ac-
cepted the throne C China rendered to
him by the council state.
Acting as q Parliament, the council
of state canyassed the vote on the
question Of a change in the form of the
government of China to a monarchy
and found that the votes of 1898 repre-
sentatives out of 2,043 qualified to vote
on the proposition were favorable to
the change.
The council Immediately sent to
Yuan Shi Kai a petition urging him to
accept the throne. He declined at first,
but when the petition was forwarded
to him a second time he accepted with
the ~proviso that he would continue to
act as president until a convenient
time for coronation.
Has 100000 Subjects.
In recent years Yuan Shi-kai has be-
come the most conspicuous personality
of the Orient through his efforts to
bring his 400, 900, 900 fellow yellow men
into line as citizens of the Republic of
China. The task of turning this most
ancient and backward of kingdoms into
a republic within whose confines there
was a fifth of the worlds inhabitants
a republic four times as large as the
United States-was obviously no easy
n and the man who attempted it did
not escape storms of criticism from
-.
virtually founding a new dynasty. But
among foreigners generally Yuan Shi.
kai is given credit for as able an adj
ministration as could be expected un
der the circumstances.

GOVERNOR WHITMAN.

Governor Whitman, of New York,
gaze out the following interview short
ly after being inaugurated:
Disregard # law, impotence with legal
and moral restraints, contempt for the
judicial and executive ministers of justice
are phenomena observable in all American
communities and all classes" he added.
mo material prosperity, nor abundang
wealth, no progress in the sciences can
save us from moral decadence and ultimate
decay if this spirit of lawlessness and con-
tempt for legal authority snail continue.
''fhe public opinion that tolerates law
lessness, whether it be the lynching of the
negro, or the murder of the obscure, or the
violence attending nearly all the disputes
between labor and capital, will inevitably
engender fatal malady unless the quick
ened conscience of the American people
shall call halt.
"There is but one way of meeting the
danger, and that wayis throug h the creation
of dominant and pervading public senti-
ment in support of the enforcement of the
law. Where that sentiment is wanting no
devices of the law can make up for it"

A FAIR FUTILITY

Selected
I'm weary to-day of the fighting;
I'm worn with the toll and the grind:
The world seems intent upon blighting-
1t hasn't time to be kind i
And there's little to gain,
So I'm longing in vain
For the days tt at are left far behind.
I'd like to go back to the meadow,
To roam DER the hill that knew
When life held so little of shadow,
And skies we're so cloudless and blue;
I'd like to go back
Ger the well beaten track
To childhood wouldn't you?
To feel in my heart the pure Joy
That only the morning can hold;
To laugh again like boy,
In ripples of silver and gold;
To wander again
In the Valley of Then,
By the fair little River of Old.
I'm weary, to day, of the battle,
The old futile struggle of men;
The din of the musketry rattle,
The gore-crimsoned mart and tho fen;
And long for the Shore
OF the Morning once more,
And to be just boy again.

ney's fees.
Lawyer Egan "beefed"
vigorously. He wanted
more than measly SIS,
he informed the judge, in
effect. That was no kind

the judge informed him
that he didn't care to sub.
tract any larger sum fol-
him from the little amount
held in trust for the girl,
Lawyer Egan was awfully,
