MrM&g&M mm CHINA ISSUES EDICT, Grants Immediate Constitution to the Country. E.4!ct Also Grants a Free Pardon to All Rebels and All Political Offend art 8wears Reforms Will Be Instl tuted and the Constitution Will Be Faithfully Observed Railroad Com munition With Pekln and Loyal Troopt Cut Off. Pekln, Oct. 31 An edict was Is sued today, In which the throne, aftei humbly apologizing for its past neglect in this matter, grants an Immediate constitution to the country with a cab- (net from which all nobles are to be excluded. The edict also grants a free pardon to all rebels and all political offend ers. The acetivlty of the Tal Yuan Fu rebels who hold a portion of th Peking and Hankow railroad, thus cutting off communication between the capital and the loyal troops who ere operating against the republican forces In the south, has caused con sternation In government circles here Troops are being rushed rapidly towards Shansl province and others are making preparations to defend Pekln Itself against attack. The Manchuti In official positions here are panic-stricken and are preparina for flight. What the Edict Says. Among other things the edict says "I have now reigned for three years and during all that time I have acted conscientiously for the Interests of the people so far as lay In my power. It is my regret that I have not em ployed men properly, but that Is due to my lack of political skill. I have employed too many nobles In politi cal positions, which 1? In contraven tion of the constitution. "In matters concerning the railways some one has fooled me when I trust ed to their faithfulness and in this manner public opinion has been op posed. When I urge reform the offi clals among the gentry seize the op portunity to embezzle. When the old laws are abolished high officials take advantage of the situation to serve their own ends. Thus much of the peo ple's money has h,een tsken, but noth lng for the benefit of the public has been achieved. Several of my edicts have promulgated laws for the bene fit of all, but none of them has been obeyed. The people are grumbling jet. "I don't know what disasters loom ahead. I could- not forsee the Szech- uan trouble. "First, there was the Wu Chang re bellion and now that is followed by nUirmlng reports from ShensI and Honan. In Canton there are riots and lis appears that the whole empire is seething. The minds of the people are perturbed. The spirits of the nine lnte emperors are unable properly to enjoy our sacrifices and it Is feared that the people will suffer grievously. It ? all my own fault and I swear that I shall Institute reforms, which, with the aid of the soldiers and the peo ple, will be carried out. "The constitution will be faithfully observed and there will be modifying legislation, which will not only devel op their interests, but which will abol ish their hardships In accordance with their wishes. Old laws which are un suitable will be abolished and the union of tho Chinese and the Manchua which was referred to by the lata emperor will be carried out."

WILL REMOVE THEIR HATS Hhica Minister Believes More Men Will Attend Church If Headgear Is Taken Off. la order to remove an excuse of fered'by many men for not attending church the women of the First Meth odist church of Ithaca, N. Y., have de cided to remove their hats during services. It is not that the men do not admire fine millinery; they say they want to be able to see the min ister when they attend church. This action was taken at a gather ing of men and women of the church. The, "hat. excuse" was Introduced by the Rev. Wallace E. Brown, who re ferred to the question at church serv ice and especially as regards the lack of attendance on the rart of men. This he attributed to the complaint that men make that they cannot see the pastor because of the large hats women wear. In a very tactful manner Mr. Erown made a suggestion that a committee of women might be doing a great serv ice to tho church if they would take some, action relative to the hat ques tion. Apparently none of the women had the courage to Introduce a resolu tlon on the subject. Finally one of the men made a mo tion to the effect that the women re move their hats while attending church services. It was seconded and stipulated that only the women should be allowed to vot9. Tha men were barred. The motion was carried by a decided majority. LEADER UNDERWOOD IS NOT A CANDIDATE Not Looking For Democratic Presidential Nomination. JUcllIlUUl l vine Snag Proof Rubbers.
