As a 17.00 matter of fact, the deposition of the youthful heir apparent does not come as a surprise. Since his selection, Pu Chun is reported to have enjoyed a riotous time, and eminous rumours that his deposition was inevitable bave been in circulation for many months. His conduct was considered indecorous in the heir apparent of the most ancient throne in the universe. We do not suppose that Pu Chun enres much. It is doubtful whether the throne of China will be worth having a few years hence Foreigners have little or no interest in the puppets of the Express-Dowager.
