There is only on American family at Tal Yuan-fu. which Is In the h-iads of the revolutionaries, but ther are many throughout th province of Shan-Si. The native press hns received the reform edicts favorably. Th Chinese, remembering how frequently the prom ise contained In former edict were fo-gottcn. may not be satisfied, how ever. The reformers In 1'ekln are di vided Into two parties th extremists, mainly southerners, who Insist upon the expulsion of th Manclrtis, and th moderates, who are numerous through cm the empire. The latter ara In different whether the dynasty Is Van.-hu or Chinese, hut they want great a.lmlnletratlv changes, and be lieve that drastic measures are neces sarj to give t!i reform a fair start. ( on promise Is Possible. The vital .juestlon Is whether the two tvlntts will be able to unite. Th In herent tendency of the Chinese Is towurd compromise, but unexpected circumstance frequently carry th day In China. At Canton th Viceroy and leading gentry ar classed as moder ates, while th masses are extremists. Th sam condition prevails In th provinces of Hu-nan. llu-peh. llonin, SlansU Klangsl and Fre-chuen. Man churia and Chl-U remain loyal. Shan t-ing. Ktangsu. Anhwei, Chue-klang. Fu-klen. Kwel-chow and Yunnan ar apparently half-hearted. Eiwhr the rebellion Is spreading. An Important question for th north Is whather General Chang, leader of th Lan-chau soldiers. Is acting Inde pendently or In collusion with other rebels, if th edicts satisfy th north ern soldiers, th control of North China will not be seriously Imperiled, but concerted action on the part of General Chsnc and tf.e southerners would probably result In t!.s flight of th court to JehoL It Is reported that th garrtooes at Tsl-nsn-fu. Chan-chunir. Pao Talng-fu and Teh Chow hav declared In favor of th revolutionists and that Kal Keng is expected to revolt shortly. A rovu.t at Pao Tlng-fu would be of great Importance and It would result In cutting Yin Tchang's communications completely. Genera! Yin Tchang has sent bark home all th Ilonan troops suspected of disloyalty. ills army at Sin Yang Clau Is deplorably provisioned, one di vision having been without food for two days. It Is satd In some quarters that Tuan Fhl Kal has been appointed Premier. It Is added that th government In tends to accd to very demand by tie Lao Cnau soldiers and other dis affected troops, and that It Is expected t:.t tt.e ministry will resign tomorrow. KEBEXS OVTTJXE ' POLICIES Molesting- Foreigners Among Of fering Punishable by Death. SAX FRANCISCO. Oct. II. Transi tions of Chines papers received her en th Itner Mongolia tell of th Is suance of revolutionary proclamations at Hankow. Th paper Is dated Oc tober I J. and says that thre offense which would permit capital punish ment were provided by th terms of th proclamation. These were aiding the government or betraying revo lutionaries, molesting foreigners and attacking th property of "commercial houses." The psper adds that on the date of publication revolutionary em issaries were being sent to every part of the empire. Trsrslations of thre proclamations Issued by th revolutionary govern ment, one to th Imperial soldiers, on to th Chinese as a peopl and th third to th power, also were received by th Mongolia. The declaration to th powers Is an appeal "In the name of humanity and of the peac of th world." and continue with the assur ance that th revolutionary govern ment. If successful, binds Itself to re-spe-t all obligations of the Chinese government entered Into prior to the Issuance of th proclamation. Agree ments with th Manchus of later date would b repudiated. It wss stated, with th warning that "if the powers assist th Manchu government against th peopl. th latter will be forced to regard them as enemies." Th proclamation to the people de scribed th form of the new govern ment, outlining the thre periods of change to follow "victory over the Manchus" Th first or military period. It Is said, will se th new government "transform China from top to bottom, suppress all unjust laws and taxes, sweep away all unnecessary forms and ceremonies, abolish th tortur clum ber and obtain th liberation of slaves or serfs; construct new roads and or ganise the sanitary service." Th sec ond period, s'yled that of contract be tween th military and th peopH, wtll be of two years' duration and provide for th potting In fore of th consti tution. The third, or constitutional period. Is designed as th dawn of th China of th future as the "middle republic" when military rule will be dissolved. The first class, embracing elvP or mil itary rhlefs who roluntarity sided with revolutionists, are promised double the pay they received from th govern ment for their lifetime. The second class, those who surrendered without fighting when the rival forces met. are assured of life and protection of their property. The third class, those who fought and later surrendered, ar promised their lives, but to be detained as prisoners, while the fourth class, those who refused to give up. are promised death "without mercy." Thl proclamation evidently was con sidered most dangerous, as It Is said that a house-to-house search for copies was Instituted In Hankow, and every paper found was destroyed. All thre of th proclamations descrlh th Man churlans a a barbarian race, which Invaded China 260 years ago and brought npon the chines all th mis eries they have suffered. POWER, OVER LIFE IS ISSrE Urgent Must Relinquish Pm-oRa-tlrr. Yuan Shl Kal Demands. WASHINGTON. Oct. J 1 Tuan Sal Kal. th dominating force In Chins, mill return to Prkln In answer to th Imperial summons only when th IT I nee Regent voluntarily relinquishes the power h now holds of condemn ing any Chinese subject to Instant ex ecution without trial. That Is the prevalent bellsf among Washington officials, some of whom express confidence that the throne will yield to th demands of th National Assembly and relinquish this power. Otherwise It might be unsafe for Yuan Sal Kal or any other Chinese notable to place himself within th power of th throne.- Th Chinese army la far from satis fled with th extent of th conces sions mad by th thron yesterday. The dissatisfaction has spread among the troops, so that In addition to those In the Immediate neighborhood of Pekln, who' forced the crisis by back ing up th demands of th National Assembly, large bodes of soldiers In other provinces hav given adherence to the 12 demands of the tropps at Lnan-chow. These troops number no less than 15.000 In Cheng-tuug province and 4004 In Poa-tlng. According to Stat Department ad vices, demands on the throne made In the ultimatum of the National As sembly have not been granted. Among them are the following: An Immediate parliament; that con stitutional amendments originate In parliament; that the army, though sub ject to the control of the Emperor, be not used In domestic troubles except under regulations of parliament; that parliament elect a premier, Ije to ap point ministers of state: that the par liament approve the budget and all treaties affecting the general Interest of the country; that the qualification of elector for members of parliament be defined, and that the army be con sulted In regard to these matters. Another source of difficulty In the execution of the reform programme has been found In the ominous attitude of the great Manchu province. They are Indignant at their deprivation of all control of the government, and now are threatening the peace of Pekln.
