In view of the approaching nuptiis of the youthful Bioperor of China, the-ocession is opportuns for the re presentatives of the Treaty Powers at Peking to broach the subject to the Government, and ascertain the probability of the right of su diewe being oonceded to them, As the exact day when the auguet ceremony is to take place has not yet transpired, it is just possible that any definite answer to the enquiries of the for. eigu envoye may be put off to the last inement.

If this ba grauted without any demar, thru the question will be settled, as under the faroared nation clause of the Treaty of Tientsin the other Powers are entitled to claim the same privileges and rights bestowed upon any Aparate nationality.
