Tr.. Bcene at the paiace last night is de._crlbed
ramatlc when the ministers. head. d by
__r_____r Y? Wang Yong. appeared before his
y snd made the Cf.binet's final representa
-i urging the Emperor's abdicatlon. Hls
majesty was in a high state of excitement, but
the Premler. In a humbie but llrm ton., dwelt
st length upon the want of precautfon and pru
.:-_.. ? f th* Emperor's poiicies hltherto, espe
ciaiiy ln nlplomatic affalrs, whereby be v.-as en
-tangerlng tije saf'-ty of the natlon. Th. Premier
rated the facts of hls majesty's dupliclti-b
arfaich cu_i_.lna.c-d ln the dispatch of a deputa
'? n to the Hague peace conference, and forcl
fciy ?rg_if-d the uselessr.__s of the Bmperor'a dls
Huail of hls r elation wlth The Hague affair.
Unable successfully to combat ihe lo^i^ of the
prcrr.ier's representation. the Emperor sought
a lart refuge. ln the ooundl of Elder Btatesmen,
doubtless anti.ipatlng their sympathies. The
coucxil immediately convened. Four eldera
.uickiy responded and appeared before his maj
esty at 1 o'clock this morning. The Emperor's
disappointment and surprtse were boundless
when they unanlmously agreed with the min?
isters' advice. Hls majeety then .-ons.-nted to
the draft of an imperial r<-script annouftclr.g his
abdicatlon whlch was placed before him for his
?tgnature. Greatly perttirbed, he sign<-l tiie
docuraent. and the seal was afflxed aiiiid Impres
sh-e Bllence.
The abdicatlon edict of the Emperor ls hls _r*t
coir.munlc&tion to the world since the repudia
tion of the convention of 1S05. A translatlon of
the text of the c-dlrt follows:
I have been ln suocesslon to rny anr-eetorH on the
throne forty-four years at.d hnve met many dl"
ttirbariceB. I have not reached my own deslre.

Therefore, be it known that as soon as lt in

the above an abdicatlon.

banded attempt by ;i federal courl to lnterfere
wlth any actual process <>f a state court, and
the Unlted Btatea Circuit Court. which is de
termined to malntain its order made here the
last of June that the Btate authorlties sh ul_
not enforce the rate law passed by the last
Leglslature, ftxlng passenger rates at 2^_ cents
a mlle, are in dlreet clash over the custody of
Wood and Wllson, the tlcket agents of the
Southern Rallway Company, who were yester?

At _ o'cloi k thin morning writs of habeas

mandlng the Sherlff to produce tbe prls mers
? him, and a hearing was taken up this
afternoon. As Governor Glenn could n..t 'ar?
rlve in time he employed speclal ?ounsel to rep
resent the state, apd ls directing the flght by
long distance t- l< phone.
Much bitter feeling exlsts, tho state author?
lties bolding that Judge Prltchard has never
declared the new rate law unconstitutional, but
ordered Its operation suepended until evldence
ahould determine whether the new rates are so
low as t.i be conflsiatury and. therefore. uneon
Btitutional, and assertlng that it ls unprece
.':? ii:.-d for a Ju.lse of one court in effect to for
bid another court from enforcing n .state law
which lt does not Itself say ls Invalid
Local feeling here la also aroused beeause
Judge Prltchard this afternoon allowed ques?
tions which Inqulred Into the motives of the
police Judge ln issulng the warrant, nnd allowed
counsel t" prove That Judge Reynolds said that
he would lssue other warrants as s >on as Judgo
Prltchard left the elty. Judge Prltchard stated
that be allowed such questions not for the pur
pose of showing th.e motives of the state judge,
but to glve prisoner'a counsel opportunlty to
show that there was an Intent to crlpple rhe
railroads by po many suits That tho protectlon
afforded by bis original order would bt nulllned.
Tbe rallwaya ar.? seeklng wltneaaes to i . ive that
Judge Reynolds sal.i if Judge Prltchard Inter

lo to ?". that the list was .bstroyed long ago by
Howard S. ilan.. _ h->, with William F. Klng_
bandled Mr. Jerome's independent campaign
finan
It was because of the burning deslre of Mr.
Shearn to know the names of these contributora
that the case was taken to Justlce Dayton late
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Shearn wlshed to have
the present examination of Mr. Jerome ad
I until some time in September. His ____
aon was that Mr. Gans was at present ln Europe..
bat was expected to return ln September. Jkt
that time. as Mr. Shearn earnestiy but rather
disjointediy explained. he might be able to get
an affldavit from Mr. Gans. If the affldavit
sh.ould afllrm that Mr. Gana had the Hat in hia
possession, then. by Mr. Jerome'a atatement
under oath. the document might be produeed Im
court. Justlce Dayton heard this and mnck
more, salted by bitter objuctior.a from Mr. ________
The court was ln doubt aa to whether the
acope of the present preiiminary actlon should.
under the code, be construed as including a
p..sti>onement to obtaln further materlal for ex?
amination. Justlce Dayton asked whether Mr.
Shearn could produce precedents for such aa
adjournment. The lawyer sald ha dtdn't have
any precedents on tap. but he felt sure he could
find some lf tlme were glven him. Accordlngly
an adjournment was taken until Monday morn?
lng. when Mr. Shearn Ia to appear wlth hl*
precedents.
HEARING MAY OO OVER.
Mr Rand stipulated that the court order that
whatever Mr Shearn might dlg up from the
digests on this point be turned oTer to him aa
that answers might be prepared. Therefore.
should Mr. Shearn prove on Monday that tha
present examination may be adjourned until
September, the chances are atrong that lt wlll
be. Otherwise tba preiiminary examination of
Mr. Jerome will have been c.ncluded, since Mr.
Shearn admltted yesterday that he had finished
with Mr. Jerome so far a_? the present facts were
concerned,
Before the subject of adjouanment came up
Mr. Shearn had a free hand in examining Mr.
Jerome. What he brought out might be called

ARr.niENT GROWS HEATED.
Mr Jeame tumed white at this questlon. Hh_
Btrong jaw hardened -ill it looked as lnsolubla)
as the rear pedal of an army mule. Then h?|
handed out to Mr. Shearn a llttle clear cut di_->
sertatlon on th.e natural dtstinctlons of a gentle-?
man and the means Of appiylng such dlstinc?
tions to an examination. He even said. ln sai
many words. that Mr. Shearn would not dare taa
ask him such a quesnon in prlvate. Altogeth?*_,
for a few mlnutes the atmosphere was as tlng?
ling as if it were a "boxing" night at the Longs
Acre Athletlo Club. But. of course. since thiJ
was ln a part of the Supreme Court. lt paaaed!
off wlth explanatlons. and not apologles. beeause.'
Mr. Shearn said he thought he had said nothing|
for whlch he should apologize.
Inasmuch as the present suits of Mr. Jeromo
are based on his dlsapproval of and denlal ot'
charges made by "The Journal" and "Tha
American" that he was supported in his cam?
paign by what Mr. Hearst's papera call "thej
Phinderbund" it was tnevltable that certauv
well known flnancters. should be mentioned. Mr.
Rand. speaklng for Mr Jerome. said yesterday.
that the easlest \isfl_.- fo pfc?we such contribu-'
tions would be to questlon Thomas F. Ryan*,
H. H. Rogers. John D. Rockefeller. sr.. and Au-(
gust Belmont. The courtmom crowd beeamo
more interested than ever at the mentlon off*
these names. but nothing more was said about*
them.
The fatt that on Thursday Mr. Jerome had.
said he discovered a contract between the Gov?
ernor of a certain atate and the Mutual Life In?
surance Company was stlll fresh ln the mlnda
of the auditots of the examination. Nothing
wa.- said alu.ut this yesterday.
Mr Shearn told B Tribune reporter that ha
consldered the matter "tnteresting but not ma?
terial." and that for this rea son he had not
detred further Into this lode. Mr. Jerome. when
questioned. replied:
"The Q-UMBBS is dead. and there is no reason
for di.'ing up hts past and paradlng his name
and the name of his state in such an affalr."
\t the offlce af the Mutual lt was aaid tha*
there was M knowledge of this contract.
Before Justlce Daytm. yesterday. Mr. Sn_ee__?
said "Mr Jerome's only BJBt?B (for not pro
duclng the names. is that lt would be indellcat*
to glve the informati.n. but that !s shown to>
be an afterth.mgbt. beeause he testltled yester?
day that Charles W Morse had sent him ttv_
BVOOfl AtOa, whlch he returned." Mr. Shearn
then referred to Mr. Jerorr.es testlmony that
Samuel Vntermyer. personal counsel for Jamee)
Haxen Hyde. had contrlbuted $5,000 to tho fund.
on this ground. he said. Mr. Jerome shoak. ga?
ahead and tell the names of such other contrla
utors as he might know.
Referrlng to the newspaper articles'which Mr.
Jerome makes the baals of his suits. Mr Shearn
said: "Weecertalnly havo the rt. ? .?stahllsh
