Faithfully Observed Railroad Com.
munlcatlon With Pekin and Loyal
Troops Cut Off.
Pekin, 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.
inet from which all nobles are to be
excluded
The edict also grants a free pardon
to all rebels and all political offend
ers.
The acetlvlty of the Ta Yuan Fu
rebels who hold a portion of tht
Peking and Hankow railroad, thus
cutting off communication between
the capital and the loyal troops who
are 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
Pekin Itself against attack. The
Manchiia in official positions her-;
are panic-stricken and are preparin3
tor 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 !s 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 ir 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
cials 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 been taken, but noth
ing 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
alarming reports from Shensl and
Honan. In Canton there are riots and
Its appears that the whole empire Is
seething. The minds of the people
are perturbed. The fcplrits of the nine
late emperors are unable properly to
enjoy our sacrifices and It Is feared
that the people will sufTer grievously.
It Ir 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 ond the Manchus
which was referred to by tbe lato
femperor will be carried out."
RULE WITH IRON HAND
Italians Use Utmost Severity In Sup
pressing Revolt In Several
Arab Towns.
London, Oct. SI. A news agency
dispatch from Tripoli, In describing
the attack on the Italians last weeU
and the uprising of the Arabs in sev
earl towns, says the revolt was sup
pressed with the utmost severity.
The Italian troops rushed through
the street shooting the Arabs down
in masses without mercy. Afterwards
the Italians who were determined to
wipe out the weak spot in their posi
tion, begun a systematic clearance of
tho oasis of Arabs.
Every Arab they met was rhot with
out the formality of a trial, and In the
confusion many women were killed.

statement that the vessels of the com.

CHINA
ISSUES
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
In? 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 fee
the pastor because of the large hats
women wear.
In a very tactful manner Mr. Brown
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 tho women
had the courage to Introduce a resolu
tion on the subject.
Finally one of the men made n mo
tion to the effect that the women re
move their hats while attending
church pervices. It was seconded and
stipulated that only the women should
be allowed to vote. The men were
barred. The motion was carried by
a decided majority.
