News Not VnexpoHexl. News of the dissolution suit came yesterday some time after the stock market closed, but It brought many brokers back to their office to lay plans for today's market and take advantage of the earlier opening of foreign exchanges. Word of a sharp decline In London caused no surprise this morning, and traders were prepared for a lively day when the stock exchange opened at 10 o'clock. Fear of unexpected developments was dispelled by the length of time traders had to digest the news and because of the fact that rumors of the government's in tention had long prevailed. Wall street's opinion this morning was that the corporation would fight the government's suit. SAY WOMAN M. D. KNEW HER SLAYER Indianapolis Police Discredit Suicide Theory in the Knabe Tragedy.

A report par tially confirmed is that the P ..rlal lats have approached the revolution ists' 'leaders looking to a compromise. The rebel chiefs are willing to nego tiate, but demand as one, of the con ditions that Yuan Hhl Kals be ap pointed as premier. " ! ' . Peking, Oct. 27. The throne has .surrendered... . . to ..the.,., Tsu, Vheng Yuan, ' Chinas national assembly, and in compliance with Its demands dismissed Sheng Hsual, min ister of posts and communications: ordered Prince Chlng, president of the cabinet before a board of Inquiry, where he doubtless will be Severely dealt with; released from custody the president of the Sze Chuen provincial assembly and other leaders in the riots at Cheng Tu, and, In fact, agreed to all that the assembly asked, with lack of dignity inconceivable to west ern observers. The edict promulgat ing these orders has been read with regret by the foreigners, especially those who were associated . with Cheng Hsual In negotiations for loans and reforms which brought about his downfall. Eheng Hsuan Hual has been strip ped of his ranks, Prince Ching, the prims minister, and Na Tung, and Hsu Shi Chang, vice prime ministers, as well as several viceroys, have been handed over to an inferior board for consideration as to their guilt In causing the present rebellion, while iuemUr of the provincial assembly, who provoked the uprisings in Szo Chuen, have been released from prison. The edict repeats over the throne's seal the allegations and charges made against the minister of posts and communications, and 'others made by a heated, radical and controlled as sembly, but Chinese affairs cannot lie judged by western standards. It will be considered here, however, that the throne acted wisely, that It recognized Its defeat and submitted to force. Kven the degraded ministers are not likely to bear serious Ill-will. The appointment of Tang Shao Yl to suc ceed Sheng Hsuan Hual Is believed to forecast the appointment of Yuan Shai In the rablnet. if not the premiership. With the prospect of Yuan Shi Kal, who is a Chinaman, leading the coun try, now ruled by the national as sembly. It ts evident that the Manchus mean to offer to the people complete and Immediate constitutional govern' ment in return for cessation of h tilitles. It Is reported that Yuan Is already negotiating with the rebels. Members of the legations, who are old In experience In Chinese affairs, would not be surprised If the revolu tion terminated on these lines, prac tically without further fighting.
