Nil'S EMPRESS DIES
Her Demise Quickly Follows
That of Emperdr.
Regent Orxittt Governor to Take Pre.
caution for Continuation of Manchu
Regime Celeatlal Empire It Tran-
1 qulf at Present.
Tsie Hs) An the dowagor empress
ct China, the autocratic head of the
government which sho directed with
out successful Interference since 18C1
bnd without protest since 1681, died
tn Peking Sunday at k p tn.
The announcement of the dowager
empress' death was official and fol
lowed closely upon the announcement
that Kuang Hsu, the emperor, had
died Saturday at 6 o'clock In the after
noon, hut it Is helleved the deaths oc
curred a considerable time before
that set down in the official stale
stents. '
An official edict placed on tho
throno Prince Pu Yl, the three-year-old
son of Prince Chun, the regent of
the empire, In accordance with a
promise given by the dowager empress
coon after the marriage of Princo
Chun tn 1903.
Prince Chun, tho regent, has ordered?
tho viceroys and governors to take
precautions for the continuation or the
administration of tho provinces as
heretofore, and he has ordered n hun
dred days of mourning. The court
will go Into mourning for throo yeara.
Peking already has been greatly
transformed; nil red objects have
been removed and blue substituted.
When the peoplo learned of the death
of the dowagor empress they showed
that they wero profoundly Impressed
by the passing of their powerful ruler.
The foreigners n tho city aro watch
ing tho strange ceremonies with great
Interest. At the palace elaborate
rites nro doing observed and a flood of
edicts has been sent forth.
Ancient Deathbed Observances.
Deathbed observances of 3,000 years
ego marked the passing of the em
pcror and downgT. They died nlona
und unattended, although surrounded
by circles of abject spectators, who re
mained a rod distant, as on account
of the sacred persons of their majes
ties, they could' not bo approached.
Tho emperor died as he had lived,
without ministration of whatever kind
or Bclentlflo aid. For months ho had
refused to pet ml t the service of for
eign physleJanB, and although it was
stated that ho had gone back to the
old form of medical treatment, It Is
believed that latterly he received no
treatment at all.
Tho government has given out that
tho dowagor empress In a lucid In
terval on Frldny last received Princo
Chlng, who is a Manchu, and n mom.
ber of the royal family, nnd approved
the edicts declaring Prince Pu Yl, holr
presumptive, and Trlnco Chun regent
of tho empire. Prince Chliig was, at
the beginning of the Doxcr outbreak,
lord chalnborlaln of tho court and
commander of the Peking field forces.
That the dowager empress took this
step Is discredited; nevertheless she Is
believed to have successfully estab
lished tho Chun regime, which Is the
Manchu regime, without obstnelo, and
tho opinion 1h held here that this so
lution of tho difficulty which has con
fronted the government is the best
possible.
Until word" of tho dowager's death
Is Spread broadcast, no general dis
orders are apprehended. There aro
few Blgns of antagonism to foreigners
nnd there Is no manner of doubt that
Prince Chun will bo nblo to meet the
situation, ns he Is recognized as thor
oughly progressive and Is the most ac
ceptable man that could be chosen to
those most disposed to cause trouble,
the reformers. .Antagonism on tho
part of the conservatives and oven an
Insurrectionary movement Is concolv
nhlc, because the death of tho power
ful woman who dominated all, and tho
weakling emperor, sweeps away the
old palace corruptionlsts
Oil Case to Highest Court.

while tho surgeons were removing

on the wounded man sat upon the

When told of tho mass-meotlug at
Dreamland rink, Mr. Heney showed
great interest, and on bolng Informed
that his assailant had taken his own
life at tho county Jail, be said: "It Is
too bad ho did It before giving his
reason for shooting me."
Tho suicide of Morris Unas, who
tried to assassinate the noted prose
cutor, was the Biibject of much discus
sion and the police authorities nre en
gaged in trying to ascertain how Haas
was able to have concealed the pistol
with which he took his llfo nfter ho
had been thoroughly searched two or
three times. Two theories were ad
vanced. Oue was that ho had tho pis
tol hidden jn lilb shoe from tho time
ho attempted to kill Mr. Heney and
It was overlooked by the poltce.
The other theory Is that tho pistol
was passed to Hnas whllo he was con
fined with his wife nnd tho pollco
guard.'
Tho attempt to kill Mr. Heney has
had the effect of rekindling civic pride
nnd overcoming indifference nnd crit
icism of the prosecution of the bribery
graft cases, and has evoked n deter
mination to support the district attor

tlou, Deckard fled to his hoube neai
by, barricaded himself In and wheu
Klaber nppioached Deckbrd shot uud
lustnntly killed him. Sheriff Robinson
gathered a posse in a few minutes and
hurried to the scene. Part of this

feeling between whites and negroes
that had grown out of It and threat
ened a race riot The governor at
once ordered the militia company at
Muskogee to prepare to go to Okmul
gee. Wkon it became known that no
other negro had assisted Deckard
against the officers, the talk of repris
als subsided.

Gompers Says He
Federation to Pay It.
President Gompers, 'at Monday s ses
sion pf the Denver convention of tho
American federation of Labor, de
clared that if he weie found guilty 1
and fined In the contempt proceedings
against him at Washington he would
go to Jail before he would' pay his fine
or before he would allow the federa
tion to pay any fine for him.
This statement was made by Mr.
Gompers during discussion of the re
port ot the committee on the treas
urer's report. The committee recom
mended that Immediately following
the adjournment of the convention the
legislative committee shall take up
the proposition of placing Its funds
whore they may be removed from
danger ot attachment.
The report brought out a political
discussion In which several members
declared themselves In favor of the
formation of an Independent political
party. Treasurer Lcnnon said he had
discussed the matter of safeguarding
tho funds with good attorneys and
they all agreed that It was Impossi
ble, without resulting at some time la
perjury by some person.
Mr Gompers warned the delegates
that It a way were found to hide the
funds the courts would thereafter ap
point a receiver, "not necessarily to
secure In some way the hidden funds,
but to get the money being contrib
uted." By request Mr. Gompers explained
the status of the Danbury hat case.
The lower courts held' that there was
no case under the Sherman anti-trust
law, but the United States supreme
court had reversed this decision and
remanded the case to the lower court
for retrial, Continulhg, he said: "Our
standing is menaced by the courts of
law. Tho matter of the application ot
the Sherman anti-trust law to unions
has reached final adjustment by tho
United States supreme court. No
matter how the Danbury case Is de
cided, that will not alter the status
oue Jot, The supreme" court has said
the final word and' the law of this
country Is that labor organizations of
this country aro now conspiracies and
combinations in restraint of trade.
"These decisions," he said, "will re
sult in fettering men todny In order
to enslave them for all time to come.
The rights whlch the courts took from
tho workmen of Great Britain caused
tho formation of the Labor party and
having secured their rights to organize"
they have continued and will secure
other rights.
"I am not in love with the Demo,
crntlc party; second, I am not a Demo,
crat, and, third, I am confident I never
will be a Democrat. I owe alleglanco
to no party. I am a trade unionist.
No man has denounced the Democrat
ic party more than I, but when the
Democratic party made our conten
tions Its own it would not only have
been Ingratitude, but cowardice to
desert them. If Bryan had been elect
ed with the hosts of organized labor
back of him it would have given spirit
to human freedom."
