nt WILLIAV MAXWELL.
TEKIN. April IS. tSpeclal.) I re
cently succeeded In arranxlns; an p
polntmtint with Yuan Shi Kal. tha new
President of the Republic, who fixed
the hour for my audience. My Chinese
rerrant took In my card and I remained
in the carriaice among the sentries at
the itate of the Foreign Office. A mes
senger came and led me to a waiting
room, and a aoldler brought tea. cigar
ette and eisara. After a few minute
Tana; Shao-yi appeared.
Tana; 8hao-yl la a Cantonese who
sneak English and dresses like a Eu
ropean. He waa tent by the President
to negotiate with the Republicans In
the south, and he came back the other
ay as their chief delegate. Ting
Fhao-yl'a friend ay that he haa a
great future and will be Prime Minis
ter. I hare met Tang Shao-yl In London
and Shanghai, and hare almays been
Impressed by hi quiet and confident
manner. Today he was nerrous and
could not hide his agitation. He told
me that the President could not see
me; he waa Yery tired and waa taking
a nap. I came away sure that some
thing serloua had happened.
Rifle Fire Heard.
I dined with the manager of the
Hongkong and Shanghai Bank. Mr. HU
ller. one of those wonderful blind men
who perform miracles. The electric
lights began to play trick, and the
servants, who were excited, told ua
that great flrea were burning In the
north. We climbed to the top of the
clock tower and counted no fewer than
10 flrea. The Forbidden City seemed to
be ablaze, and Morrison street looked
like a sea of flame. The sound of rifle
fire was heard from all directions.
Was It a counter-revolution or a mu
tiny? I hurried along Morrison street
and met many Europeans and Japanese
making their way into the legation
quarter. They were escorted by sol
diers of their own or other foreign na
tion. Strong pickets were posted at the
entrances to the settlement, and men
tnd guns were on the wall ready to
resist an attack. A German searchlight
flashed over the city and on the Amer
Iran soldiers who manned the wall, re
vealing their position and strength to
the mutineers.
Onr mounted Infantry were out In
mall parties collecting British and for
eign reldent whose home are scat
tered about the native city, and bring
ing them Into the lagatlon area. Hell
seemed to have broken loose In Morri
son street. The northern end was a
roaring torrent of flame; the southern
end waa tilled with soldiers, who were
firing their rifles In the air and break
ing open the shops.
Dr. MwMm Baay Wrttlag.
As the position In this street seemed
especially dungerous. Kir John ordered
out SO men of the Somerset Regiment.
Returning with them. I passed again
along the broad road through amailng
scenes of pillage and violence. I found
It. Morrison writing his cable and glv.
lng orders for the safety of hi famous
library and of many of hi Chinese
friends. It seemed to everybody that
the boon would aoon share the fate of
the northern end of the street, for the
flames were spreading and fires were
burning behind and in front. Happily
there was no wind, or the whole of thla
part of the city would have been de
stroyed. No attempt wa made to molest for
eigners. Some of the lAoters even In
vited them to help themselves to the
good of the wretched merchant, who
looked on helpless and weeping. That
the ptllasjing was organized there could
be no doubt. Some of the soldiers of
the Third Division marched on to the
scene and acted under the command of
their officers.
They knew or were directed, to the
shops that contained valuable and port
able loot. Firing their rifle to strike
terror Into the merchants, the soldiers
broke open doors and window.
Verrbaata Threateae Milk Death.
They threatened with Instant death
all who did not hand over their money
and open their safe. They went care
fully and methodically through the con
tents, rejecting the least valuable goods,
which were seised by coolies, smashing
porcelain and overturning lamps in or
der to set fire to the building.
And these were the soldier trained
and equipped: on modern line the sol
dier whom foreign countries hae so
often belauded, and against whom the
amateur army of the iSouth waa said
to have no chance. I had already
termed an unfavorable opinion of tbelr
discipline In my Journey across country
. from Hankow to Pekln. .
leaving the southern lines at Hwa
Juan not a week before. I walked 10
or IS miles to Kwanshul. the farthest
outpost of the Northern army. Twenty
four hours before the soldiers had
looted and burned the village and car
ried off the military cheat with 1:5.000.
At Sin Yang-chow, where General LI
Yuan-hung'a pas secured me passage
to Pekln. I saw soldier In tha flrst-
la and their officers In the third
class carriages.
Dlsclallae Is Laoklag.
Finding an officer who spoke French,
I asked the reason. He looked ashamed
and plucked up courage to touch a sol
dier who pretended to be asleep. The
touch would not have disturbed a fly,
and the officer went back to his place
among the coolies saying: "He Is sound
asleep, and must be tired."
As I approached Pekln I Imagined
that I should find some evidence of
discipline. Here, at any rate, the sol
dier were supposed to be under the
Iron hand and Influence of President
Yuan-Shl-kaL the founder of' the mod
ern army. But it Is five years since he
commanded, and the Manchu have made
the most of these years to undo the
work of this experienced soldier and
statesman.
The mutiny In Pekin has shattered
another illusion. The force upon which
the reform party relied haa failed them.
Instead of a help It ha become a men
are. The causes are not easily ascer
tained. Some people speak of bribes by
the Imperialist. It is certainly re
markable that no princely house was
attacked; that Manchus were un
touched, and that rich silk shops owned
by court eunuchs were unvislted by
looters.
Pigtail Still era.
Others ascribe the outbreak to Ina
bility to pay the troops, to reduction
of rations and reports that they were
to be deprived of their pigtails, for
while the Southern Army is queueless
the Northern Army would rather die
than part with this sign of bondage ttf
the Manchus.
A third explanation Is that the sol
diers were unwilling that President
Yuan-Shi-kai should accept the invi
tation of the National Assembly to take
the oath at Nanking. It la certainly
true that the only attack upon persons
was directed against the delegates
from Nanking.
After their triumphal entry through
the gate hitherto reserved for Emperor
and Empress, the delegates were housed
In the Nobles" School. -This building
was one of the first attacked, and the
delegates were compelled to flee for
their lives.
. M. C. A. laea aa Refuge.
Tang Sbao-yl and Wang Shao-ming,
the youth who sought to promote re
form by throwing a bomb at the Re
gent, together with their companion,
managed to climb a wall Into the Young
Mens Christian Association. They left
behind all their baggage, and are now
in the hotel la the Legation quarter,
from the security of which they con
tinue to negotiate with the President.
All theaa thlnars may have contrib
uted to the outbreak, which ha shaken
confidence in the authority of Presi
dent Yuan Shl-kal nnd-threatens the
entire country with armed and trained
bandits. But these poison would not
have worked so quickly If the troops
had not been kept In idleness and al
lowed to roam about the capital at will.
But the mischief Is done. The mod
ern army la dispersed or confined to
barracks, and once more the people
have to depend upon the old turbaned
soldiers and the veteran Chiang
Kwei-tl. who cannot write hia own
name. President Yuan Shl-kal may be
able to ride out thl storm. If he falls
there la none to take Ms plsce.
GIRLSlieCHIlNCE
ENGLISH WOMAN TELLS HOW
THEY BETTER CONDITION.
Problem of Old Maidenhood Solved
by Emigration to Colonies In
Africa and Canada. '
LONDON'. April IS. As a result of
tha widespread Interest aroused by re
mark of 3Jls Joepnlne Knowle at a
recent meeting at Ptelnway Hall on the
unhappy lot of unmarried daughter of
tha middle and upper clasae. and her
suggestion of emigration as a "remedy
for all this mass of wasted human life.
a reporter haa been eliciting Informa
tion on the burning question of the
"middle-class girl who has no outlet
for her Intelligence and actlvitle. and
who I allowed to grow up Into a gray
and depreslng old maidenhood." only
to end her days. In the words of Mis
Knowles "In those sad boarding-houses
which are filled with human wreckage."
From every aide he receive confir
mation of Mis Knowles' gloomy pic
ture. Her graphic description of wast
ed, aimless life and long years of gray
monotony was perfectly true; but. it
was said, this Is not a new disease
which Misa Knowles has discovered,
neither is her remedy of emigration a
new remedy. The disease has been
known .and recognized and the remedy
haa been In use for many years. There
are almost a dozen organisations which
have been sending middle and better
class women out to the colonies. The
nirls" Friendly Society, the Colonial In
telligence League, the Youns; Women"s
iiiriBiian - - -
Bureau for the Employment of Women
are among the better known of them.
Miss Lefcpy. secretary of the British
Women'a Emigration Association, said:
-V e nve been sending women out to
Canada for the last 17 years, and in
recent times the number of better-class
and middle-class girls has gone up by
Kips and bounds and Increases with
almost every trip. A great many of the
other organization send their people
under our escort, so we can form a good
Idea as to how many there are of them.
In 1911 we sent 05 women to Canada
alone. Of these 19S were classed as
educated women, which does not In
clude such girls as trained teachers,
nurses, business women, dressmakers
and milliners, all of whom have classes
of their own.
"The system of correspondents and
hotela which Miss Knowles advocatea
exists already. We have correspond
ents all over Canada, and particularly
In British Columbia, and wo have hotels
where our people stay until they get
settled. We have a loan fund from
which assistance Is given Jn cases of
necessity and we have our own railway
cars on the other side and always as
sure good company on the Journey out.
a fact which la of Inestimable value to
the emigrant and a comforting assur
ance to her relatives. And we know
that what we are doing In Canada la
being done Just as efficiently In South
Africa."
Miss Percy Taylor, secretary of the
Colonial Intelligence League, which
acts exclusively In the Interests of bet.
ter-class women, also spoke of the num
ber of educated and gently nurtured
women sent out. but Insisted on the ne
cessity of every woman being trained
to something before trying her luck on
the other side. "Our maxim." she said.
"1 quality, not quantity, and we do not
send any ctrl out unless she la compe.
tent In something.-
LUNCHEON RACE LATEST
t
Russian College Boys Find New
Way to Indulge Sport Instincts.
ST. PETERSBCRG. April IS. (Spe
cial.) A most amusing system of betting-haa
Just been discovered at the
boys' college In Rostov on the Ion.
A race used to take place at the
luncheon hour when at the first sound
of the bell professors would dash off
for their hat and coat and hurry out
of the building.
They were not aware, however, that
they were being backed against each
other by the boys aa to which of them
would be the first to pass the Iron gate
of the college.
The result was Viat while some of
the students feasted lavishly at the
neighboring cake shops, othersrf orfeited
their modest luncheon money and re
mained hungry for the rest of the day.
A misdemeanor on the part of one of
the youths brought the practice to the
ears of the authorities. He had tried
to delay one of the "runners" by re
moving hi hat and coat from Its usual
peg. and was being severely chastised
for the deed when the head master ar
rived on the scene, and forced from Mm
a full explanation.
"SACRED" CONSTITUTION
Thomas Jefferson Believed ' In
Amending- Fundamental Law.
Forman's The Life, and Writings of
Thomas Jefferson."
Some look at constitutions with sanc
timonious reverence and deem them
like the ark of the covenant, too sa
cred to be touched. They ascribe to
the men of the preceding age a wis
dom more than human, and suppose
what they did to bo beyond amend
ment. 1 knew that age well; I belonged
to It and labored with it- It deserved
well of Its country. It was very like
the present, and 40 year of experience
In sorernment l worta. a century of
book reading; and this they would say
themselves, were they to rise from the
dead.
I am certainly not an advocate for
frequent and untried changes in laws
and constitutions. I think moderate im
perfections had better be borne with;
because, when once known, we accom- j
modate ourselves to them and find
practical means of correcting their ill
fects. But I know also tht laws and .
Institutions must go hand In hand with
the progress of the human mind. As
that becomes more developed, more en
lightened, as new discoveries are made,
new truths disclosed, and mannera and
opinions change with the change ofr
circumstances, institution must ad- .
vance also, and keep pace with the
times.
We might aa well require a man to
wear still the coat which fitted him
when a boy, as civilized society to re-
main ever under the regimen of their
barbarous ancestors. It Is this prepos
terous idea which has lately deluged
Europe In blood. Their monarchs, in
stead of wisely yielding to the gradual
change of circumstances, of favoring
progressive accommodations to progressive-improvement,
have clung to
old abuses. Intrenched themselves be
hind steady habits and obliged their
auhierts to seek through blood and vi
olence rash and ruinous innovations, j
which, had they been guided to the
peaceful deliberations and collected
wisdom of the nation, would have been .
put Into acceptable and salutary form, j
Let ua follow no such examples, nor I
weakly believe that one generation I
Is not as capable as anotner oi nmm
care of Itself, and of ordering Its own
affairs. Let us. as our sister states
have done, avail ourselves of our reason
and experience to correct the crude
essays of our first and unexperienced,
although wise, virtuous and well-meaning
councils. And lastly, let us pro
vide In our Constitution for Its revision
at stated periods. What these periods
should be nature herself Indicates. By
tho European tables of mortality, of the
adults living at any one moment of
time, a majority will be dead in about
1 year a At the end of that period,
then, a new majority Is come Into place;
or. In other words, a new generation.
Each generation Is a independent of
the one preceding a that was of all
which had gone before. It has, then,
like them, a right to choose for Itself
the form of government It believes
most promotive of Its own happiness;
consequently, to .accommodate to the
circumstance In which It find ltelf,
that received from It predecessors: and
It is for the peace and good of man
kind that a solemn opportunity of
doing this every 19 or 20 years should
be provided by the Constitution, so
that it may be handed on, with peri
odical repairs, from generation to gen
eration to the end of time, if anything
human can endure so long. It is now
40 years since the" constitution of Vir
ginia was formed. The same tables
Inform us that within that period two
third of thi" adults then living are
now dead. Have then the remaining
third, even If they had the wish, the
right to hold In obedience to their will
and to laws heretofore made by them,
the other two-thirds, who, with them
selves, compose the present mass of
adults? If they have not. who has?
The dead? But the dead have no rights.
They are nothing and cannot be some
thing. Where there is no substance
there can be no accident. The corpo
real globe and everything upon It be
longs to Its present corporeal Inhab
itants during their generation. They
alone have the right to direct what is
the concern of themselves alone and to
declare the law of that direction; and
this declaration can only bo made by
their majority. That majority, then,
has a right to depute representatives
to a convention and to make the con
stitution what they think will be the
best for themselves.

LARGE PERCENTAGE OF GER
MAN" WOMEN DO XOT LRRY.
More" Than 10,000,000 Engaged as
Wage EarneM, Many of Whom
Compete With Men.
t
BERLIN. April IS. (Special.) The
German woman 1 commonly supposed
to be a domesticated person, occupied
In the ordering of her household and
the care of her children. This view
must be abandoned, for. as. a matter of
re. nniv aq ner cent of the women of
Germany between- the ages of 1 and
SO are married. A very large propor
tion the other 60 per cent earn their
livelihoods by professional or manual
work. They have grave problems to
face which are becoming every year
more urgent.
There are 22.000,000 females In Ger
many above the age of 14; 11,851.000 of
these are not wage "earners, but among
them must be reckoned many peasant
u-ntnen who heln their husbands In the
fields and are accustomed to' dally
nr n arduous kind. Over 10.000 -
000 women are doing paid work. Of
these 4.000,000 are married women or
widows, and there are thus 6.000,000
unmarried women in Germany who are
wage earners.
What Is the work of the 10.000.000?
One hundred and sixty thousand are
shop assistants, 696.000 have shops or
businesses of their own. 287,000 are
members of the liberal professions.
There are about 1.300,000 domestlo
servants. The remaining 7.600.000 are
engaged chiefly In manual work for
which small wages are paid. Their
earnings aa a rule do not exceed 110
to IIS a month. After years of hard
work theyasnay make $20, or even
822.60 a month. Two and a half dol
lar a week earned by a girl living
with her parent Is a valuable addition
to the family budget; but It 1 a wage
which will not support her If she be
alone In the world. Her chances of
marriage are small If she has no
dowry.
The growing number of women en
tering into competition with men In
the higher professions Is remarkable.
The number of women students at the
universities is increasing with great
rapidity. The following statistics of
the women students at one Prussian
university speak for themselves:

J!M1-ltllO J?2
1010-1011 -
It Is also Interesting to note that
the women students are recruited from
those parts of Germany where life Is
freer and broader than In pollce-rld-den
Prussia. Thla Is proved by the re
ligious statistics. The religions of
Germany are represented among tho
students Inthe following proportions:
Protestant - '!
T ik -
" I-'
Koman Catholic w .
In Prussia the women's movement la
frowned at. In Bavaria ana nautn
woman Is treated with greater respect,
ana It not regarded as a creature op a
lower scale than man; hence the Jarge
proportion of Roman Catholic women
among th students In Germany.
The advance of education among
women has had Its Influence upon the
vexed servant question. A German girl
prefers to go into a factory rather
than to enter domestic service. In
1905 ther were 1.J40.000 women em
ployed as servants In Germany. In
1907 the number had fallen to 1.264.000
and the dlffioulty of 'obtaining good
cooks and housemaids Is Increasing.

AS SHOW TROUPES TRAVEL
The rrlvate Cars They Get Are
fsnallj- as Old as America.
New Tork Times.
"Whenever the manager with a trav
eling organization of which I am. a
member approaches me and says, 'We
have a nasty Jump out of here, hut
we'll have our own car,' I bow my head
in meekness and say, 'May the railroad
people have mercy on us.' I have trav
eled In my private capacity in the cars
which are operated for the general pub
lic, so I know that modern cars are
built and they are In service for regu
lar trips. The thing that puzzles me
Is where they get the cars which they
send whenever a theatrical company
requires a car for private use."
It was a much-traveled actress who
was speaking.
"The business manager with one com
pany tried to explain to me," she went
on. "that the good cars being constant
ly In regular use, whenever a company
needs a car the railroad officials tele
graph to the nearest point for whatever
car they have. That's what he said.
Personally. I think they telegraph to
headquarters, 'Troupe in Texas wants a
car,' whereupon the chief functionary
goes Into the safe deposit vault, takes
down a ledger and looks through his
list of retired and decrepit sleepers,
calls In his foreman and says. 'Jim,
there's a troupe In Texas needs a sleeper-
send down Geraldlne." Jim looks
dubious, hesitates, finally plucks up
courage and says: 'Boas, Geraldlne
hasn't been as far as Texas since '82,
and the old girl ln't up to much In
these days." Whereupon the boss puts
on his haughtiest parlor-car manner
and reiterates, 'Send down Geraldlne.'
And that settles the matter, even If it
does unsettle a whole tfoupe for a
night or two.
"Of course. It Isn't always Geraldlne.
Sometimes Its Montezuma or Algonquin,
but. no matter what name. It's sure to
be some weather-beaten old derelict. If
the weather is mild, the porter turns on

reached our final destination or are
still suffering here on earth, the por-
ter. If he is gracious, tells us that the

porter doesn't -care for us, he just
walks off doesn't answer us, and
leaves us to cook.
"Should the weather suddenly drop
to zero, nothing on earth will Induce
the pipes to carry the steam to the car.
When this happens none of the venti
