Realm Under Fire.

Picking, Aug. 11.-President Lii
Yuan-hungs mandate ordering the
trial and punishment of nine prorni-
nent movers in the monarchial move
ment, including two former members
of the cabinet, has created a pro-
found sensation in China.
Liam Shih-yi, who was the conf
Dental adviser of Yuan Shi-kai was
probably the most Influential man in
China under Yuan Shi-kai, is included
in the list of monarchists who are to
be tried and punished. Liang Shih-yi
is now in Hongkong, living under the
protection of the British flag. 1t will
be impossible to extradite LANG
Shih-yi for a political offence. Grim
inal charges would probably COM
mand the attention of the English
government. -
Two Were Cabinet Members. W
Chow Tzu-chi, for several years
Yuan Shi-kai's minister of agriculture
and commerce, and minister of fl
nance during the last days of Yuan's
regime, is also among the list of mon
archists to be punished. He Is now
living in the British concession at
yond the reach of the Chinese gov
eminent, unless 1t makes criminal
charges 81
Chu Chi-chten, Yuan Shi-kafs for-
mer minister of the interior, Is the
other cabinet member against whom
the mandate is directed. He also is
living at Tien-tsin. Chu Chi-chien
was at the head of the bureau which
was making preparations for the en-
thronement ceremonies, and his name
figures very prominently in connec-
ton with the monarchiaI movement
from its very inception.

Yang Tu, the chief promoter of the
Chou An Hui, or the Society for the
Preservation of Peace, which for
mally launched the monarchial move
ment in public way, Is the most
prominent of the other men to be
tried. The full text of the mandate
for the punishment of monarchists
follows:
1.-THE movement for the change of
form of state plunged the whole co,tn-
try into utter confusion and nearly
caused 1t to suffer national extinc-
ton. Those who promoted the move
ment must be held responsible. The
arrest is hereby ord of Yang Tu,
Sun Yu-chun. Ku 40, LANG Shih-yl
Hsia Shou-tien. Chu Chi-chien, Chow
Tzu-chi and Hsuen Ta-kp, who are to
be handed to the judiciary carefully
and strictly tried and punished ac-
cording to the law to the end that q
warning may be registered for the
guidance of future generations. Others
are hereby pardoned in the interest of
leniency."

however, does not leave open to city
officials even so small an opening as
Kansas City officials detect in the gas
company's franchise of that city.

advised citizens of that place not to
