ENUMERATES FOR FOURTH
TIME PROGRAM OF REFORMS
FOR THE NEW REGIME
A BARBAROUS EXHIBITION
Accurate Information at Last Days
of 'Emperor is That he Made a
Speech Less Than an Hour Before
His Death.
PEKIN, Nov. 11. An edict order
ing posthumous honors for the late
Dowager Empress was issued today.
It enumerates for the fourth time
since the death of his Majesty a pro
gram of reforms to which the "new
regime is committed.
Accurate information as to the last
days of , the Emperor was obtained
today from the palace. The Emper
or made a speech less than an hour
before his death. He passed away
during a period of the greatest ex
citement and confusion. Hia native
physician gave orders that the Em
peror be dressed for death and that
the imperial yellow clay be spread
over the road leading from the win
ter palace to the forbidden city. At
the same time imperial conveyance
was made ready to convey, the Em
peror to the bed chamber. Both
their majesties awaited the coming
of the grim reaper clad in their full
official robes and surrounded by hun
dreds of court officials and followers.
It was a barbarous exhibition of soul
less and inhuman formality and
etiuette of court. On the night of
November 16th, the Empress called
the members of the grand council
together and talked with them for
some time. She was lying prone but
fully dressed. After an hour's con
sultation the councillors were dis
missed and told to return at 2 o'clock
in the morning with edicts prepared
to announce a succession to the
throne. It is reported that Her Ma
jesity was able to signify her assent
to these peculiar edicts but imme
diately afterwards lapsed into uncon
sciousness and was dead in the
morning.
Pu Yi, the baby Emperor, has been
takn from his family and cared for
within the palace precincts. He is
popularly reported as crying day and
night for his old nurse.

Detective Bums Tells at Inquest of
an Attempt of Policemen to Keep
Him From Seeing Haas at the
County Jafl.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19.-The
question of how Haas, Heney'
would-be asassin obtained or con
cealed the derringer with which he
committed suicide in his cell in the
county jail ' Saturday night was the
principal aspect of the inquiry today
at the coroner's inquest The dis
sension and bitter feeling between
the prosecution and the police and
in the department itself as a result
of Haas' suicide was strongly re
flected in the testimony given. The
graft prosecution contends that Haas
received the weapon after Haas had
been imprisoned while the police are
most positive that Detective Bums
and Captain Duke, the only police
man who sides with the prosecution,
overlooked the derringer in their
search in the courtroom. While ad
mitting he did not search Haas
shoes, Cptain Duke said on the stand
that he thoroughly examined Haas'
clothing and felt around his ankles.
He asserted with great positiveness
that if the weapon had been in eith
er shoe he would have discovered it.
Detective Burns testified to having
made a thorough search of Haas. He
admitted, however, that he did not
search Haas shoes, believing it would
be done later when the prisoner ar
rived at jail. Burns told of an at
tempt of Policemen Attndge and
Kelly to prevent him from seeing
Haas at the county jail when he
was sent there with District Attor
ney Laigdon, the policemen stating
they "Had orders from the chief's
office not to let Burns or any of his
