CHINA FOR REFORM
Grand Council Impresses- New
Ideas on People.
TOM JOHNSON POOR.
POLITICAL JEALOUSY STIRS PEKIN
Fourteen Banks That Wore Closed
Reopened by Government and
Deposit Being Paid.
rckln, Nov. IP. An edict Issued yea
terJay declares that the era of Pu Yl,
the Infant emperor of Chlnn, bo named
1 1 sunn Vug, moaning "proclaimed succession."
This characterization is Interpreted
ns signifying the unification of the
nation upon the reform program of the
throne.
Another edict orders a posthumous
title for Hwang Hu in recognition of
"his merits. It enlarges upon the re
form program to which tho valedictory
of the emperor committed tho throne,
and thus commits the government again
to the details set forth in tho program.
The grand council appears anxious to
impress the idea of reform upon tho
new generation of the reigning Manchu
clan.
The regent has appointed 9 A. M.,
.November 25, for tho members of tho
diplomatic corps in Pckin to appear in
tho forbidden city and express con
dolence of their respective govern
meats on the death of the emperor and
tho empress dowager. Three members
from each legation will be received.
They will bow three timed before the
coffins of the emperor and tho dowager
empress and oneo to Prince Chun, the
regent.
The dowager empress, acting on a
memorial presented to tho princes and
the ministers, has issued an edict that
the period of mourning bo reduced for
the regent and the court to 100 days
and for the people to onlr seven days.
Rumors aro rife of political jealousies
nt the palace. Considerable adverse
comment has been roused by the fact
that Prince Chun, tho regent, is ignor
ing the Chineso in announcing the com
position of the committees that aro to
bavo tho obsequies of tho late emperor
and empress in hand. The only two
Chine appointees are Yuan Shi Kai
and Lieucbun Lun. The remainder are
Manchus.
It is reported that Princo Chang,
president of the board of foreign af
fairs, has suffered a partial collapse on
account of his exertions and excitement
of the last few days.
Tho politieal position is precarious
and it is believed that bis career is
practically at an end.
The fourteen native banks that sus
pended payment a few days ago were
reopened yesterday and began to pay
out money from funds supplied by the
government for tbo purpose of tiding
over the panic. They are under police
supervision. The payments are to con
tinue for a period of flvo days.

Brother's Estate.

I. Johnson, who for years lias been
credited with possessing a very large
fortune, announced yesterday that he
hid lost everything ami would he

home on Kticlid avenue and move into
smaller and less expensive quarters.
The mayor aim stated that he would
give up his automobile and other lux
uries, because he could no longer af
ford to keep them
His fortune was wrecked, the mavor

fairs of the estate of his dead brother,
Albert, who was heavily interested in
traction properties in the Fast
Alter Albert s death the question
was put up to him whether he would
rcsicn his office as mavor and take
up the management of Albert's estate
1 he mayor said
1 decided that I would not. I had
entered the fight in this city with cer
tain ideals before me I wanted to
fight privilege and special interests
and I liad already decided to gic up
working for dollars So I concluded
to stay right here and do what I could
to help my brother's children at long
distance.
"Why did I choose the course I
did? I II tell you It's not because I
am a philanthropist, for I am not I
acted from a purely selfish motive. I
wanted happiness and nothing else
when I closed up my business affairs
and took up ciwc activity."

San Francisco, Nov. 10. The trial

gard to it. "The entire matter should
bavo no plare in your mind, and should
cause no bias or prejudice against any
one "
Gallagher was then called and Henry
.Ach, Ituef's counsel, rosumed his c rout
examination. Mr. A eh made him tell
ngain the whole story of the nomlna
tion of the supervisors and the ar
rangements for distribution of graft
money. Ho asked novoral questions as
to whether CJaliagiier did not know Iiq

Kentucky Growers Paid $14,000,000
by American Company.
Louisville. Ky. Nov 20 The biir
deal between the American Tobacco
company and the Hurley Tobacco So
ciety for the 1908 crop and part of
the 1907 crop of tobacco, which has
been hanging fire for several weeks,
was closed yesterday The price
agreed upon in the transaction, which
is said to be the largest of its kind
ever put through, is an average of 30
cents a pound for the 19o crop and 17
cents for the 1907 product The deal
involved nearly R0.000.000 pounds of
tobacco held in the pool by the Ilur
ley Tobacco society, and an outlay of
about Stt.ooo.ooo on the part of the
American Tobacco company, virtually
all of this money being placed in cir
culation at once in central Kentucky
1 lie tobacco sold includes the
larger part of the holdings of the Hur
ley Tobacco Growers' association,
which was formed several years aco
and pooled the crops in 190(1 and 1907
.no crop was raised by the members
of the association in 1903, although a
number of independents raised large
crops ir. central Kentucky, under
guard. According to many who are
in position to know, the sate of the
pooled crop will mark the end of the
night riders in central and eastern
Kentucky, at least for the present, as
it is thought that with these crops out
of the way virtually all of the growers
win raise tobacco next year.
