ntfrht. and Ita mem hers, numbering over
To of that once Justly famous orgamxa
tion. gathered around the banquet board
at the Danmoore Hotel It was a wonder
ful aalherlna of a wonderful military
compan". 'hat was formed years aKO
one that flourished from 1SS3. and until
It disbanded in 1 considered the
crack company of the Orenon National
Guard.
It waa a happy Idea, this bringing to
gether after all these yearn of the vet
eran of company ',. Surely, time has
dealt kindly with the young men who
piayed at anldlerlne 3 years ago. for
rested around the tables were men. all
cf whom have male good In their vartoui
callings, either here in Portland or in
other places where they have located since
leaving the city. Behind the purpose of
bringing the comrades of Company G to
gether laet night was the plan that will
later be consummated, that of forming a
permanent organization.
Seventy at Banquet Table.
To those Tn-odd men who greeted each
other again after time had tolled off a
quarter of a century. It seemed but yes
terday that thev were again In the old
places where the company drilled under
the able direction of Captain l C.
Farrar, who ram all the way from Sac
ramento. Oil., in order to be with the
comrades again. They lived over the
days of 3 and l.i years ago. the last time
the company gathered together and told
atorics. told of the fun they had. the
prank and jink they held.
The old minstrel show was recalled and
the days of the Chinese riots: the famous
trio, composed of Ralph W. Hoyt. who
was bandmaster. Henry Wagner and Alex
"Wagner, who have played at every en
tertainment ever given by the company.
Then there were echoes of the minstrel
how. heoau Harry W. Hogue and Ralph
K. Lee sarg the old songs. It was simply
Rreat. and it is no wonder that the very
beams of the Danmoore were shaken by
the cheering and applause.
Discipline Cast to Wind.
It was late in the evening when the
members of Company O gathered In the
Armory and at the command of Ser
geant B. W. Moore, ordered "fall In." And
it was crowding time backward when Ser
geant Moore after forming the company,
t'irned and Informed Captain Farrar that
"The company is funned, sir."
It was no straggling line of rookies
that formed In Una at the order, neither
was It a company of men who had for
gotten what had been drilled Into them
by captain Farrar that marched from the
Armory to The Danmoore Hotel. It was
true though, that discipline was caat to
the winds. tojed aside because each man
present wanted to talk of the things
that have gone Into history.
After enjoying the gooa dinner. George
T, Wlllett. who was toastmaater, gave
those present a most agreeable surprise,
for he rose and announced that Mrs.
Rose-Coursen Reed would sing and wlien
she apjieared sha was greeted with a
rousing cheer. .Mrs. Reed sang the "Star
Spangled Banner" and "Annie Laurie"
Then fotlowid the set programme, which

Takes Matters of Government Into
Own Hands, and Today's Man
dates to Subordinates Are
Vigorously Worded.
PEKIN. Nov. 21. It Is becoming In
creasingly manifest that Prince Chun,
the Regent, is taking matters of govern
ment Into his own hands and that he
resents any Interference from' the Dow
ager Empress Yehonala. or tly mem
bers of the grand council.
A vigorously worded edict issued by
the Regent yesterday in the name of the
Emperor sets forth that his authority
was received from the late Dowager
Empress and command obedience to
him. It says In part:
"All Imperial clansmen are ordered to
give a greater degree of obedience than
others. This Is for the effect of the
example. Disobeying Princes and offi
cials will be dealt with without leniency.
Our purpose In this Is to fulfill tha
command of the late Dowager Empress
and to satisfy the people."
Tired of Conferences.
The wording of this edict lndicats the
existence of dissension In the Imperial
family, and the disposition to take mat
ters into his own hands is indicated by
other reports from the palace regarding
the Prince Regent.
The Regent, it In said, has found advis
ing with Yehonala onerous and his con
sultations with her are becoming more
and mora perfunctory. He is reported to
have arrogated to himself the imperial
prerogative and the phraseology of his
edict today bears out this presumption.
hi manner with tlie mem
bers of the grand council is growing more
summary every day. He. now gives his
opinions to the councilors In the form of
orders.
The second edict issue today is direct
ed against the revolutionaries. It is:
"Two misfortunes have befallen the
country, but. in accordance with the ar
rangements effected by the late Emperor
and the late Dowager Empress, order pre
vails in the empire. Foreign treaties will
be observed, and the countries In sym
pathy with China are making their in
tercourse more intimate. It is a fact,
however, that lawless conspirators recent
ly have tried to invade the interior. These
men must be severely dealt with, and all
officials are hereby orderred to arrest and
summarily behead them wherever found.
These officials will be properly rewarded."
Edict Not Understood.
In view of the impression In Pekin that
unofficial tranquility exists throughout
the empire, this second edict is not un
derstood. The Dalai Llama of Tibet, attended
by the members of his suite, officiated
yesterday at the Tibetlan religious cere
mony of prayer before the coffins of the
Emperor and Empress. Among those
present at this ceremony were all the
Mongol Princes and officials in Pekin.
Court to Mourn Three Weeks.
TOKIO. Nov. ;i. The court will go into
mourning for three weeks, on account of
the death of the Emperor and Dowaer
Empress of China.
