NOTES AND COMMENTS:
Naturally the question of the hour Is whether the Emperor of China 'Is rezily dead, as Tlentsin and Shehat reports state, or wheth, as suggested by our Shangat correspondent, he has merely been deposed and has ceased his Imperial though not his corporeal life.
As we stated this morning in our Extra, the Shanghai Mercury claims to have received news to the effect that the Emperor was still alive yesterday afternoon, and our well informed Shanghai contempo- rary considers that the Information is authentic. Still, no further news has arrived from Tlenisin and it does not ap- pear to be probable that Shanghal, being much further away from the Capital, should be in possession of later news than the more northern port. Our readers will doubtless remember the amount of uncer- tainty that existed at the time of Prince KUNO's death as to whether he was really dead or not, and how public report caused that unfortunate man to die several times over In somewhat rapid succession before he could be finally disposed of.
