PRINCE CHUN FEARS REFORMERS Masses of China dust Awakening to Death of Emperor and Dow ager Empress. Pckin, Nov. 17. China it beginning; to realize that the emperor and the dowager empress arc dead Prince Chun, regent of the empire, In fear of increasing excitement and revolu tionary movements, has taken a firm grip on affairs and has adopted stringent measurer, that will result it the maintenance of peace for a time at least. At noon 3000 gendarmes guarded the streets, and other military forces were held in readiness for any event' uality. Every precaution was taken to prevent a recurrence of the revo lutionary tactics of last April anil May, which were marked by wide spread incendiarism. The foreign le gations are under guard, special de tachments of Chinese troops keeping watch at the approaches. The state ment was made at the legations that there was no fear that the Chinese government would be unabtc to af ford ample protection, but those within the legations were more alert than usual and seemingly anxious to have set at rest the doubts arising; from the swift movement of events in the last few days. There were many occurrences yes terday to add to the sinister aspect of affairs. Rumors were current for a time that the new dowager Yehonala and Yuan Shi Kai, the grand coun cillor, and one of the most powerful men in the empire, had committed suicide. Though there was no truth in these reports, they went far toward disturbing the Chinese and foreigners alike. Serious runs on banks occurred yes terday and today, and 14 native banks closed. The crowds were wild with excitement, and toward the close of the day the police intervened and drove them back. One foreign con cern, the Yokohama Specie bank, suf fered a big run on its Tientsin notes, but the British, Russian and German institutions were not affected It. is probable that a number of native banks will be doted tomorrow, and it is believed that the government will step in and endeavor to stop the financial panic among the poorer classes. BULLET IS REMOVED. Prosecutor Stands Operation Wei and Rcllles Rapidly. San Francisco. Nov. 17 After passing through a most successful op eration for the removal of the bullet which was fired at him by Morris Haas during the Ruef trial last Fri day, the condition of Francis J Heney is reported by the doctors tobe. favor able in every way, and predictions of his ultimate recovery are made by his physicians. The operation fol lowed the taking of X-ray photo graphs, which plainly showed the lo cation of the leaden pellet in the mus cles of the left lower maxillary. Chief Surgeon Terry, of the city hos pital service, wielded the instruments, while Drs. Stillman, Moffat and Hunt ington assisted. It was found that the bullet, which entered the right side of the head just in front of the ear, had passed downward, crossing the palate and striking the left lower jawbone, which was slightly splintered but not broken The bullet was deflected backward by striking the bone, and lodged in the muscles of the jaw Its removal necessitated the utmost sur gical skill, as it lay close to the big blood vessels of the neck Mr. Heney rallied rapidly from the effects of the anaesthetic showing no ill effects from the drug or shock from the operation. He passed a quiet day and slept peacefully last night. At midnight it was said by his attendants that his condition was entirely favorable, and that hopes for his speedy recovery were entertained, Asks Change of Venue.
