FLOWERY KINGDOM

UNDERGOES CHANGE Two Strong Parties, One Very Liberal, Are Struggling for the Leadership. AN ' EPOCH FOR CHINA MANY OF THE OLD OBSOLETE CUSTOMS WILL BE ABOLISHED TIME NOT YET RIPE FOP. PAR LIAMENT, HOWEVER. Publishers Press.l Washington, Jan. 12. A comprehen sive review of the change that is tak ing place in China as a result of the recent decree reorganizing the Chin ese government is supplied to the state department by Edward T. Williams, Chinese secretary of the United States legation at Peking. Reciting the orders for the formation of the two commissions which were to deal with reform projects, Williams says that for more than a month these comsions have been holding daily sessions, wherein two strong parties are struggling for leadership; one bent on securing a liberal government on modern lines and the other determined that there shall be no departure from the traditions of the fathers. As far as it has gone their result is a compromise, but many valuable features are retained. Particularly worthy of note is the abandonment of the scheme for a cabinet and of the proposed consolidation of the council of custom afTa!rs with the new board of finance, probably by foreign opposition to further interference with the customs administration. The edict itself hints at the greatest difficulty encountered in the reform movement, namely, "worship of the past," for nowhere. says Mr. Williams, "does the dead hand weigh more heavily on the living than in China." and the fir3t essential to success in any new movement is to show either that it is not an innovation, or at least it is not hostile to the spirit of the fathers. The chief feature in the edict is in the manifest endeavor to approach the ideal of one man, one office. Equally important is the abolition of the useless multiplication of offices and, except the board of foreign relations, whose composition can not be changed without the permission of the powers, there will heacefcrth be only one head to each of the governing boards. Some of the old designations are quite obsolete, and the titles have been modernized. The board of punishments was never fully described in the title, which will now be called the board of law, corresponding with our department of Justice. The new department called "the board of posts and communications," is said to be in line with the most advanced western nation policies. While the time is not ripe for the establishment of a parliament, a partial substitute is afforded by the appointment of a council "to assist in government," whlchia to become the mouthpiece of the people, though they are not permitted to nominate or elect its members. The censorate Is retained as a terror to corrupt incompetent officials. The press- is yet in its Infancy in China, and is said to be characterized by such venality, according to Mr. Williams, as to make it unwise to give it a full measure of liberty. Some obsolete institutions have been abolished or incorporated with other boards, such as the "court of sacrificial worship," the "court of imperial entertainment." the "court of state ceremonial," all of whose functions have been taken over by the "board of rites," and the "court of the imperial stud," which has been swallowed up by the ''board of the army." Mr. Williams calls attention to the fact that the commissions are continuing their work of reform, and the work reforming the basis of the edict already issued is but partial. The provincial civil service Is now receiving attention and it is said to be a greater task than that already completed. In conclusion Mr. Williams says the edict must be regarded as marking one of the most important, epochs in the history of China, and while the sanguine will undoubtedly be disappointed in the results, there seems to be no reason to doubt that the desire of the throne and of many patriotic officials for reform is most sincere, and that a measure of improvement will follow. We. may hope at least that the changes now being inaugurated will prove to be but the beginning of a movement that will bring Chin? into line with the most progressive nations of the world." THINGS THEATRICAL. Lillian Russell has still another new play. De Wolf Hopper is on a tour in "Happyland." In "Peer Gynt" Richard Mansfield has one of his greatest successes. Arnold Daly is to appear in vaudeville, lie qualified by going through bankruptcy. The new Hippodrome production in New York is even more spectacular than that of a year ago. Eleanor Robson is said (by her manager) to be only twenty-three years old. She is English by birth. Wilton Lackaye is playing in his own dramatization and version of "Les Mlserables" and has scored heavily as Jean Valjean.

DUCHESS DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD, WHO ADMITS SHE IS

BEAUTIFUL.

The Duchess de la Rochefoucauld,

Mitchell of Oregon, once remarked when she was merely Mattie Mitchell: "1 know perfectly well that I am one of the most beautiful women in the world

My figure is perfect, and I shall marry as exquisitely beautiful as I am, and

So Miss Mitchell married the French duke in 1892, and apparently the mate has turned out happily. Up to the time of their meeting the duke was classed

as a woman hater.

WERE ALMOST STARVED MONTH IN FREIGHT CAR Systematic Effort to Smuggle Chinese into this Country from Mexico Discovered by Authorities at Los Angeles. IPubllsheiV Press.J Los Angeles, Jan. 12. - Smuggling Chinese into the United States from Mexico, using Santa Ana as one of the stations and Pacific electric cars as the means of distribution, is believed to have been unearthed by the arrest of five Chinamen charged with being in the country unlawfully, and Lou Quong Shue, a well known commission merchant of Chinatown, as an accessor-. The immigration officials say that for a full month the five Chinamen were locked in a freight car and. except for a little coarse food they carried -with them, they would have starved- The length of time they wr in freight car leads to the belief that they were, from El Faso.

yPOII THE ALTAR OF THE FIRE GOD

Great Sacrifice of Life and Destruction of Property During Year. HALF BILLION DOLLAR LOSS ARGUMENT IS MADE THAT MOST CONFLAGRATIONS ARE MAINLY DUE TO DANGEROUS BUILD INGS WHICH SHOULD BE HEAV ILY TAXED. Nearly 7,600 lives lost and more than $500,000,000 worth of property destroyed this is the havoc that marks last year's path of the "red plague" from San Francisco to New York. Every day of the year just ended, on the average, twenty lives and nearly $1,500,000 were s acrificed upon the altar of the fire god. Nowhere else in the world is the fire loss in bulk cr pro rata anywhere near our own. The average loss is now $200,000,000 a year and still no effective means are taken to check it. Something likean adequate concep tion of what these losses mean is ar rived at by considering what the half billion dollars thrown onto the na tional ash heap last year would buy. It would pay for a fleet of fifty battleships, everyone equal to the "Dread nought." It would support the United States army for the next seven years. It would pay for one-half of our imports and wipe out half the national debt. It would cover the cost of fifty skyscrapers. A practical suggestion as to one way of reducing the fire loss is being pressed upon the attention of American municipalities by the International Society of Building Commission ers and Insctors. The argument of this organization is that fire losses and costly fire departments are due mainly to dangerous buildings, and that these buildings should, therefore, pay higher taxes than are assessed on fireproof structures. The- Society, with headquarters at Washington, and oth ers similar to it are carrying on an active campaign of education in favor of fireproof buildings. That absolutely fireproof construc tion is a possibility has been shown by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. Walls of vitrified brick and floors, partitions, roof and stairway of hollow burnt brick are the main features of the building that can not burn down. The most vehement of the national resolves that are In order at this season should be one that will mark the end of the era of flimsy, dangerous buildings and the beginning of the fireproof age.

Two Chinese were admitted to the room where Dong ws3 eating. Each firfd one shot from a revolver and disappeared. Both bullets struck Docg and he died almost instantly. A short time later the fusilade commenced in the Chinese quarter. Tbe killing of Dong seemed to be the signal for a general fight. Hop Sings and Pfr.g Harrs were involved in the outbreak, which the police say was di? to a quarrel among the Cbinese over Ah Kee, a girl, who lives at Dong's home.
