CITY CHINESE PLEASED
THE MANCIIU ABDICATES. The news convoyed in yesterday morning's cables stating that tlio ilonohu limI>eror of China had decided to abdicate llic throne and retire ty J oho! was received with every manifestation of joy by many of the locjil Chinese. One of them, on being consulted 011 the subject, nearly laughed outright—a rather rare occurrence with a Chinaman! "All !i now—Manchu, he go away—welli goo'," lie chortled, gurgling with joy. "Ale up high (lag up there—wclli goa'. No more him—all li!" The reference to the flag was not very clear until one stepped outside the shop and' took a glance skyward. There, sure enough, floated the war flag of the Chinese revolutionaries. What the abdication means is not altogether clear, but it is taken for granted that China will cease to lie a monarchy and become a Republic, and this apparently is what is desired. It may have the effect of reducing the Chinese population in New Zealand and Australia.
