CONFIDENCE IN REGIME
ran Ion Apparently Agreed and
Measure of Iteforni Is Already
Instituted in Palace Rumor
Prince Iiing Will Retire.
PKKIX. Nov. 23. While all Is quiet
In Fektn. detachments of troop guard
the city Rates and gendarmes are on duty
at the approaches to the foreign lega
tions. The -government has not ceased to
take precautionary measures, for revolu
tionaries are spreading all kinda of re
ports, which might act like firebrands to
the spirit of uneasiness underlying pres
ent conditions in China.
There have been rumors of an Insurrec
tionary movement In the south, but this
has proved to be only a minor outbreak
among the artillery and cavalry stationed
at Nankin.
Nevertheless. It hu been thought ad
visable to post a guard at each of tha
galea of rekin. and half companies of
Chinese regulars are now under arms at
these points.
Disturbers to Be Beheaded.
It was owing to one of these disturb
ances that the edict of November 20' was
Issued. In which it was pointed out that
lawless conspirators had tried to invade
the Interior and all officials were ordered
to arret and -summarily behead thera
wherever found.
Stringent measure have been taken
here to suppress any sign of conspiracy,
and the government has ordered an inves
ligation of the Governor of Ngang-Puei
province, on account of a alight uprising
that took place there.
Two Pekln newspapers have been fined
and one has been suppressed for publish
ing details of the Illness and death of tha
tmperor and the Dowager Empress. -
Confidence In Jfcw Government.
The manner in which yesterday's cere
mony at the Imperial Palace was con
ducted has been the subject of high com
mendation on the part of representative
of foreign powers here and the success
that attended them and the unanimity
shown by the various official factions had
tha effect of Inducing a feeling of optim
ism with regard to the new government.
Iteforma have already been instituted In
the palace. The new Dowager Empress
has withdrawn herself to the-background
and the late Dowager's eunuchs and
others who were closely Identified with
her powerful rule, becoming alarmed at
the evidences of the reform movement
and anticipating discharge, have fled.
Prince Chun's recent edict In which he
Reclined to permit any' Interference from
the IKiwager BmpreM Yehonala. has
cleared the throne from any possible
domination on the part of the women, at
lfast until the new Emperor. Pu H as
sumes power.
Kdk-t lias Good Effect.
Tills edict, which ordered all Imperial
clansmen to ge a greater degree of
obedience to the Regent than others and
which threatens disobedient princes and
officials with severe punishment. Indicates
the government's recognition of the op
portunity for a palace housecleanlng.
Ti government admits that It was dis
sension among two or three princes which
Inspired the edict calling upon all for
implicit obedlcn-e. and since tne issuance
of this edict criticisms of the government
anil wranglings seemed suddenly to
cease. v
It is believed here that Prince Chine
will be tile scapegoat of tha dissenters
and will retire from his office aa hetul of
the Foreign Board on the plea of age,
after the mourning period.
lng of the local union of street railway
motormen and conductors Saturday it
was unanimously voted to call off the
strike against the Municipal Traction
Company, which was begun last May.
Back of this vote by the strikers la the
history of the strike campaign, which
was one of tha most unique In the annals
of labor unions. The Municipal Traction
Company refused to grant an increaseln
wages and the strike was ordered. The
new company kept the cars running un
der difficulties.
As a last resort the strikers threatened
to oust the Municipal Company by hav
ing Its franchise revoked by means of a
iKinuinr vote under the new state initia
tive and referendum law. The company
continued to fight, however, ana won.
Then the union men devoted them
..i.... ih. nmnosed referendum vote
The election was held on October 22 and
the franchise was defeated. In a few
days the railroad property was placed in
the hands of a receiver.

01.KVKtANl. O.. Nov. n At a meet-
Tnklo Exposition in 1917 Promises
to Be Event .of World-Wide
Interest, Says Loomis.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2S. Among the
passengers who returned yesterday from
tha Orient on the steamer Mongolia were
Mr. and Mrs. Francis B. Loomls. William
A. Newcome and John C. 0"Lughlin. Mr.
New-come and Mr. Loomls are members
of the American commission to the Jap
anese Exposition, recently postponed un
til 1917. and Mr. 0'LUKhlln is secretary
Commissioner Skiff will return to this
country by way of India and Europe, and
Commissioner Millet will spend another
month in China before returning.
In an Interview with the Associated
Press tonight respecting the postpone
ment of the Japanese International t-xpo
sltlon Mr. Loomls said:
-v have, received satisfactory assur
ances from tha highest official authority
that the exposition will be held In 1917 at
Toklo. and that It will be very considera
bly enlarged In scope and more varied in
character. Both the people who exhibit
and those who go to see tne exposition
will be the gainers by the delay."
Mr. Loom is said that the other Ameri
can representatives, as well as himself
and many tourlsta who have been In Ja
pan during the last six weeks, were im
pressed by the manifestation of the Jap
anese government's good will toward the
American people.
"The Japanese government and the
Japa-nese people.' said Mr. Ixwmis. "were
unremitting in their attentions and their
courtesies to three separate bodies of
American representatives. No other na
tion could have entertained its guests
with greater distinction and taste."
Speaking of the visit of the American
fleet to Japan. Mr. Loomls said:
It proved to be one or tne strongest
and most effective measures In the inter
ests of the peace of the world which has
been taken for a decade. Kveryone who
was In the Far East during the visit of
Admiral S perry's fieet saw and felt that
If there was any disposition tor wartare,
the presence of that superb fleet of bat
tleships has annihilated it. That the
moral effect of the voyage has been
tremendous Is admitted by every Intelli
gent foreigner in the Orient."
HINDUS ML NOT MOVE
PROTEST AT BEIXG SENT FROM
CANADA TO HONDURAS.
Special Committee Says Bribe Was
Offered lo 'Kepc-t Favorably
on Scheme.
VANPOI'VBR. B. C. Nov. 23. (Spe
cial.) Following an impressive religious
service in the Hindu Temple this after
noon strong resolutions protesting against
the proposition of the Dominion govern
ment for the transportation of the 2"00
Hindus resident in British Columbia to
British Honduras were adopted. Copies
will be forwarded at once to Ottawa.
London and the Viceroy of Indta.-
The report submitted by the two Hindu
delegates who recently visited British
Honduras in company with the Special
Commissioner of the Dominion govern
ment was presented. It declared that the
Central American colony was wholly un
suitable for their countrymen for various
reasons. The climate is unhealthy, mo
squitoes abound in myriads and the rata
of pay offered the Hindus under the con
tract system amounts to only JS per
month with rations equivalent to W.
making the wage average J12 a month In
a country where the cost of living Is
high.
The delegates declared that they hart
been offered bribes to make a favorable
report. Wlien they refused to do so the
offer was withdrawn. The Hindu com
mittee declines to state whether the
alleged inducements were offered by the
Honduras officials, the Canadian Commis
sioner or the Colonial planters, but hinted
that the whole affair might be divulged at
a later date.
Human Saloon Parades
North End
Daa McKsddea Dm Thriving Bual
eaa la Wet Goods I'atil Kaeorted
' o City Jail.
DAN M'FADDEN, a well-known charac
ter about the North End, was ar
rested Sunday night by Detective Hyde
for prying off the Sunday lid. His case is
one of the most extraordinary among the
liquor violations since Portland estab
lished Sunday saloon closing. The of
fender had converted himself into a
veritable perambulating thirst emporium,
and loaded down with a bottle in every
pocket, burly of girth, with almost every
variety of liquid delight, he paraded up
and down tin? North fund dispensing his
wares. He had been doing this for per
haps the greater part of the day when he
sold one bottle too many, was caught In
the act by Infective Hyde and lodged in
the City Jail.
Word had been received at the Police
Station early in the day that an unusu
ally large number of staggering men were
n along North Sixth and North Third
streets, and the conclusion was drawn
that a leak had been sprung somewhere
In the North Knd liquor route.
Detective Hyde Inspected every saloon
In the district but his search was unre
warded until he caught McFadden In the
act of selling a flask of whisky to Dan
Delanev. of Vancouver, ash. Mcr adden
not only was joaded down with wet goods,
bul carried a small glass for the accom
odation of those who desired to buy by
the drink.
The onlv other violation of the Sun
day law yesterday was that of John
Fuog. 64 rt-aii of age, a Swiss saloon
keeper at 4S First street. He was
found with his saloon wide open. His
only customer was a .woman. He was
arrested under (wo charges, one for
keeping his saloon open on Mlnday
nnj lte other for disposing of liquor
lo a woman.
Captain of Less Injured Vessel
Holds to and Permits Passengers
of Other Boat to Tumble
Aboard Like Scared Sheept
XBW YORK, Nov. 33. The lives "of
more than 500 persons were nperiled yes
terday, when the fruit steamer Admiral
Dewey, inward bound from Jamaica
crashed Into the steamer Mount Desert,
outward bound from Bayrldge for the
fishing banks. The Admiral Dewey, com
ing suddenly out of a fogbank, struck
the Mount Desert almost amidships
opening a gash In the fishing vessel that
extended from the upper deck to the
water s edge. There were 450 passengers
including 20 women and six children, on
the Mount Desert, and the Admiral
Dewey carried 46 passengers. In addition
there were the crews of the two steam
ers. '
Panic immediately followed the collis
ion, and it was due to the .prompt actlon-
of the captain of the Admiral Dewey that
a catastrophe was avoided, for the pas
sengers on the fishing steamer began pil
ing over the guard rails of that vessel
and leaped for the deck of the Admiral
Dewey. Had the captain backed his
steamer away, many would have fallen
into the water. Instead he kept the ves
sel moving slowly ahead, and this held
the prow Into the rent that had been
made and afforded a boarding place for
the frightened passengers of the Mount
Desert Thus the two steamers moved
slowly toward the east bank of the lower
bay. while a wild scramble was taking
place on the decks.
It was believed that the Mount Desert
would sink, and the passengers fought
frantically to get to the deck of the Ad
miral Dewey. A number of persons were
slightly Injured in the stampede. Men
and women climbed over the guard rails
to the Admiral Dewey so rapidly that
they trampled upon one another.
In the space of 16 minutes, fully 350 pas
sengers of the Mount Desert sprang to
the decks of the other steamer.
Rv this time the Admiral Dewey drew
more water than the other and the keel
of the vessel was striking the bottom.
But nearly all the passengers or tne
Mount Desert had been transferred and
the panic was subsiding so Captain
Davidson signalled to have the engines
stopped and a few minutes later the boats
drifted apart. Later the MoMnt Desert
steamed to South Brooklyn- where- she
docked to permit the rest of the pas
sengers to land. Meantime the Admiral
Dewey had been taken up tne river io
her Dler. where her own passengers and
those from the Mount Desert were
landed.

SEATTLE! Wash., Nov. 23. Special.)
The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition
monument, to stand in the plaza In front

tions are to be asked from all Alaskans,
the people of Seattle and the State of

cover completely this great shaft with the

While a large number of Araskans wno
are In Seattle for the .Winter have sig
naled yieir intention of donating gold
for the monument, it is the desire of tho
exposition officials that every person in
Seattle, If possible, have some part In
decorating the monument. Cast-oft nug
get jewelry will likely make up the BUr-
fae adornment ot tne snaii.
