NOT PARTY ISSUES
Butler Calls for Settlement of
Vital Problems.
TRUSTS, RAILROADS, MONEY
Beverldge Denounces Sectionalism,
North and South, and Says Ex
pert Commission Alone " Can
Settle Tariff Question.
KANSAS CITY. Mo.. Nov. 19 Dr.
Nicholas Murray Butler, .president of
Columbia University, ftpeakinff tonight
at the annual dinner of the Kansaa City
Commercial Club, declared that the
.great questions of banking1 and currency
and of the regulation of the transporta
t ton systems of t he country a nd of
trusts were not properly a matter for
partisan exploitation or for party differ
ences. These questions, he said, could
not be solved by rhetoric or in passion,
but only by intellisUU. solicitous study
and reflection.
"It is the first duty of the patriotic
and intelligent business interests of the
country." ald Dr. Butler, "to apply
themselves to the ta?k of settling the
questions in which politics and business
border so closely upon each other."
Ir. Butler and Senator Beverid. of
Indiana, were the gufts of honor at the
annual dinner of the club held in com
memoration of the signing of the John
Jay commercial treaty.
Sectionalism Subtle Danger.
Mr. Beveridge said all sectionalism
fhnuM he abolished and referring to the
North and Snuth said:
Ther Is no m ire wene In a solid South
and a solid North than thrre wis In lhs
-lan division of Scotland .VH years ao.
C-ilnnal line bane-1 on the heredity of
I rjudi- are a more subtle dancer than
most of the conventional perils which c
fear.
The time has come for this condition to
pa away. I-t every section of thin coun
try anlve Its local problems for itself, hut
ucn National problems let every section
a-t not a a section but as a part of tha
Nation. It ta absurd that New Enr'nd
rhouid have a traditional allegiance to Ihe
Kepubllran part and that the Srutb Ivjuld
le under a traditional nwrtsate to the
lmorrat!f party.
Speaking for the creation of a tariff
commission. Mr. Beverldge said:
Need Tariff Commission.
As our tariffs have heretofore been con
structed by both parties, they hare been un--lnttflc
nd crude. Nothing but our jrreat
natural resource. utterly overshadowing
thoe of other natlona. have saved our for
eign trade from extinction. We are shamed
bv the fact that comparatively Germany
sel today ten finished manuf acturd arti
cles abroad here we sell one. German y
has been able to do this chiefly by her
d nible tariff system. This she budded by
having an expert commission solve the ques
tion. A wide tariff law cannot be struck off
"by men not students of the question work

REFORMS ARE TO CONTINUE

myriad of affairs and my strength and
my heart are exhausted. Since last
Summer I have been 111 and not able
to assist in the multitudinous affairs of
the government with tranquillity. For
long I have been without appetite, nor
have I been able to sleep. On Novem
ber 14 came the death of the Kmperor
and It was then Impossible for me to
exercise self-control. Following this
day my Illness Increased until now I
am not able to rise from my couch.
"I look back today over 50 years
of sorrow and trouble and even at the
end of my life my anxieties still are
with me and I can find no appetite.
'Iteform In the methods of govern
ment has begun and these ideas will
be continued and developed. The Re
gent and all its officials should exert
t hemselves to strengthen the founda-
tions of the Kmpire. Let the Kmperor,
1'u YI. make the affairs of the Kmpire
f first importance, and to this end
lrt him be adequately instructed."
Itarbarous Scene at Death.
Accurate information concerning the
last days of the Emperor was obtained
today from officials of the palace. The
various foreign legations have abandoned
tli poison theory.
Tho Kmperor made & speech less than
one hour bofore his death. He passed
sway during a period of the greatest ex
citement and confusion. His native phy
tMclan gave orders that the Kmperor be
lrs3ied for death and that imperial yel
3ow clay be spread over the road leading
from the Winter Palace to the Forbidden
Oiy. At tho same time an Imperial con
wya nee was made ready to convey the
Kmjxror to the bedchamber.
Both of their majesties awaited the com
ing of the grim reaper clad in their full
official robes and surrounded by hundreds
of court officials and followers. It was a
barbarous exhibition of the soulless and
Inhuman formality and etiquette of the
tourt.
Gives Assent While Dying.
On the night of November 16 the
lsaj?er Empress called the members of
t he Grand Council together and talked
with them for some time. She was lying
prone, but fully dressed. After oae hour's
consultation the councillors were dis
missed but thty were told to return at 2
o'clock in the morning with the edicts
prepared to announce the succession to
he throne. It Is reported that her ma
jesty was able to signify her assent to
hese particular edicts, but immediately
tift;r having done this she declared:
"1 can bear no more and relapsed into
unconsciousness.
The Kmperor and the Dowager Em
press were dead or moribund when the
edicts were issued.
As soon as It was actually known
throughout the palace that their majesties
wre dead, a condition of panic ensued.
The widow of Tung Chi attempted to
commit suicide because she perceived she
would not be made Dowager Kmpress.
Many of the palace eunuchs fled, carry
ing with them such valuables as they
could lay their hands on.
The Dowager Kmpress Tehonala was
one of the few who retained presence
of mind. She ordered that the gates be
guarded and gave other instructions for
the maintenance and restoration of order.
Pu Yi. the baby Emperor, has been
tak-n from his family and is cared for
within the palace precincts. He Is popu
larly reported crying? day and night for
his old nurse.
ASKS PRESIDKXT'S SYMPATHY
.Prince Chlng" Sends letter to
Kivotetelt in Behalf of Kmperor.
PEK1X, Nov. 19. Prince Chine, presi
dent of the Board of Foreign Affairs, has
forwarded direct to President Roosevelt
a personal letter in the name of Pu Yi,
the infant Emperor of China, setting
forth the crisis through which the throne
has passed during the last week. Simi
lar letters have been nt to all the oth
er powers friendly t China. These com
munications make an appeal for sym
pathy for. and understanding with, the
new rulers of China, ana empnasiw i
efficiency with which the event of the
paet week have been conducted.
Several of the foreign legations here
ave expressed their surprise and grati
fication at the manner in which the Gov
ernment is managing the situation. It
na been expected, up to the present
time, that the death of the Dowager Em
press would precipitate trouble, but the

Acuities.
FTTCRE OP EMPIRE SAFE
This Is Belief at Shanghai if Yuan
Shi Kal is Retained.
" SHANGHAI. Nov. 19. The recent
events at Pekln have been fully reported
here, and It Is felt in Shanghai that the
future of the empire is safe, provided the
Regent. Prince Chun, retains the serv
ices and the support of luan Shi Kai
and Chang Chi Tung, the two members
of the Grand Council who are. at the
same time, the strongest of the present
dav statesmen of China. There is no
fear here that the revolutionary societies
will make trouble, and no troops have
been sent from Shanghai or its vicinity
to Pekln.
The Prince Regent is regarded here as
a good man but Inexperienced in affairs
of government, and weak. The fact that
he is in daily consultation with Chang
Chi Tung is regarded as a favorable in
dication, for Chang is well considered in
Shanghai. The valedictory of the late
Kmperor. issued in the form of an Impe
rial decree at Pekln. extols his virtues
and accords him praise for the reforms
he introduced in the matter of schools,
local industries, railroad constructions,
mining developments, particularly the
promise to put the empire on a basis of
constitutional government within i.ine
vears. This decree is considered as pres
aging the policy the new government, un
der the Prince Regent, proposes to follow.
Yuan Shi Kai is superintending the ob
sequies of the late Emperor, and there is
no indication here that he has lost any
of his Influence or power.
Barring a slight curtailment the orig
inal programme for the "Autumn army
maneuvers is to be carried out. and or
ders to this end have been given by the
Board of War. Tuan Fang, the Viceroy
of Nanking, will remain with the troops
during the maneuvers.
The temporary suspension of a native
bank in Pekln has had no effect on finan
cial circles at large.
PISH REFORMS WITH VIGOR
Edicts Show Progressive and Mod
ern Government Intended.
PEKIN, Nov. 19. An official of the
Foreign Board of the government. In
reply to a direct request, today gave
formal assurance that the new admlnis-

sumed that the mysterious stranger is
responsible for the crime.
He Was Well Known.
The sailors on the Leyland Brothers
had become very well acquainted wHIl
Rasmussen during the time t? vessels
were moored together, and had formed
a warm attachment for him. They spent
most of their spare moments together,
and when the watchman failed to appear
yesterday morning they became alarmed.
One of them boarded the Washington at
noon yesterday, but could not find him.
At 6 o'clock the foreman of the drydoek
was appealed to and he recommended a
search of the boat, which resulted in
the discovery of the dead body.
The stranger with whom Rasmussast
was last seen on the deck is described
as being a well-dressed man of medium
height, wearing a gray fedora hat and
a well-made long gray overcoat. The
two men had been In the engine-room
about half an hour when the provision
launch Palmer drew up alongside to de
liver supplies. When hailed by the
launch crew, the stranger made his ap
pearance and hurriedly left the vessel.
He leaped to the dock and disappeared
In the direction of the carline. As Ras
mussen did not respond, the provision
boat cast oft and left on Its rounds.
Lived at San Francisco.
The dead man is a member of the
Sailors' Union of San Francisco, with
relatives living at the Bay City. Ac-

cording to the sailors of the Leyland
Brothers, his mother and three sisters
live at San Francisco. Their address
and names could not be learned, al
though several letters were found
among Rasmussen's effects. However,
these missives were written in Danish
and an Interpreter will have to be
summoned to learn their contents. Ras
mussen is believed to have had a sum
of money in his possession much larger
than the $29-10 found in a drawer under
his berth, and, in vlaw of the fact that
his watch was forcibly removed from
his person, it is believed that his mur
derer secured the baiance of the dead
man's savings. The sailors of the Ley
