The 4-wheeled carriage in which the Emperor and Empress were to have ridden to the Tombs an the 1st instant (April Fool'a day), by special request of Li Hung-okang, and went up by Mr. Dotring for that purpose, has been sent back. Her Majesty doolined to ride in it at the last moment. I believe it was your paper that caused all this mischief by pablishing in your issue of the 4th March the fact that Li rode iz it, else it would have been managed succesfully.
