The abdication of the throne of China by the Manchu dy nasty was proclaimed in an imp rial edict at noon yesterday. Another edict declared that the throne accepted the republic, while a third ap proved all the conditions agreed upon by Premier Yuan Shi Kii and the repub licans. The abdication of the Chinese throne by Pu Yi, the child Emperor, brings to ai end the powerful Manchu dynasty which has reigned in China since 1644. The boy ruler has been on the throne since November 14, 19U8, when the Em peror Kwang-Su, his uncle, died. His father, Prince Crun, was appointed re gent and was the chief figure in China for three years. Surrounded by a large number of Princes of the imperial clan and Man chu officials with reactionary idtas, the regent was brought face to face with a revolui ionary movi ment in favor of modern refoims. He tndeavoied to placate both parties, hut ended by cnusing general dissatisfaction, which led to his resignation on December 6, 1911. After three centuries of ahso'ute iule the Manchu dynasty has yielded up its p3wer and abdicated the throne of China in favor of a representative form of government. This was ' proclaimed in three simultaneous diets the first an nouncing abdication; 'he eecond declar ing that the throne accepted the repub lic, while, the third approved all the con dition? agreed upon by Premier Yuan Shi Kai, and the lejuhlicans. This edict, approving all the condi tions agreed up n, between Yuan Shi Kai and the republican representatives created even much astor.ishment. It has been expected that the Manchus would demand conditions which woald safeguard many of them privilege", but accordingto the proclamation their sur render is unconditional. The third edict informed the vice roys and provincial governors of the retire ment of the throne from poht'cil power and instructed them to continue doing their duty and to preserve o"-der through out the land. It declared that the step taken up by the throne was in order to meet the wishes of the people. Moving Pictures and Vaude ville, afternoon and night, at The Athens. To Whom Honor Is Due.

' . s. . Iu The Bryan Harder Case. Final Argument Aud Jury Oiveu Case. At the openiog of the day's session of court the argument was resumed. During the morning session Messrs. Nixon, Wit. Dunn and L. I. Moore spoke in behalf of the defendant, each of these attorneys presented their cli ent's cause in an able and eloquent manner and with the little material which they had to work upon impressed every one of the spectators with the fact that they were making superhu man efforts to save the defendant's life. At the conclusion of Mr. Moore's speech, a recess was taken. Upon re convening Solicitor Charles Abernathy began the closing argument iu behalf of the State. In a vivid manner he described the murder of young Avery by Baker Bryan. He told of the past life of the defendant, that time and again he had been in trouble and had escaped each time with a light penalty, and that finally his career had come to a climax with the cold blooded murder. During Solicitor Abernathy 's speech the court room was crowded to its ut most capacity and so intense was the interest manifested in the proceedings that the slightest noise in any part of the room gained the disapproval of ev ery one. For two hours Mr. Abernathy held the floor, and at the conclusion of his speech Judge Poushee began his charge to the jury. In summing up the case he went over the evidence of all the witnesses and fully explained every phase of the different kinds J verdicts. His charge was fair and impartial, and at the conclusion it was evident that the jury had a clear conception of the entire proceedings and would weigh the case among themselves according to the evidence as they saw it. At one o'clock last night the jury had retired for the night with no decis ion gven out. If you don't call for it, its your fault; if you don't get it.
