for almost a fortnight! The Minister bad in addition to his suorotaries and the naval officers, a guard of tea. infantry, who after a great deal of trouble wore put up in the Peking Hotel. And on the day of thə andionee the cavalcado, all in glittering andforms, left the Spanish Legation in no less than ton gayly caparisoned chairs, escorted by their bodyguard of Austrina troops, the procession being beaded by two mounted Chinees servants, two more of who similarly brought up the tail of the pro- cession. The passage of this unusually lengthy and imposing cavalcade attracted a great deal of attention in the streata. The unusual sight of so many fully equipped foreign soldiers carry ing rifles mashing along towards the Imperial City somewhat osturally disconcerted the natives. On arrival at the entrance gate of the place of audience, the sentinels on guard ap: peared greatly alarmed at the night of the armed foreign escort, and a loud habbub osod at the gate when the Chinese rofused to allow the Minister's odourt to pass. Eventually a number of high Chinese officials headed by Prince Ching, the President of the Teung-li Yunes, appeared and negotiations we the passage of the escort of the Embassy were opened and continued forsome time till the Austrian soldiers, who as a great concession had been reluctantly allowed to pass. the gate and bulbed just inside, word Eually. marched a considerable distance further into the Imperial cits, but not before Baron de Caikean bad threstomed to return to the Spanish Lega- tion without having his audience if his escort, which he insisted was part of the suite designed specially by his Emperor as a compliment to the Chinese Ruler, were not allowed to accompany him. It was only upon this threat that Prince Ching, who was greatly perplexed by the gud denly-born dificulty, consented to allow the escort to proceed to the Pavilion idaide the precincts Anored to the Imperial Court. The sight of so many armed foreign ro tainers in that secluded region seemed to greatly exercise and terrify the ("inese officials who pleaded with the Baron that only persons specially permitted by the Emperor could cross. the gates of the paluce grounds. But when the Barcu threatened to furogs the audience allogether, after everything was prepared for it, and tho Emperor ready to receive the Embassy, the fear of the consequences of ang faux pas was too much for the officials. What transpired at the audience itself of course wo ontsideus do not imzow, except that it was held in the netol phos, Everyone now is looking forward to the arrival. of the Special Russian Embassy which is known to be one fraught with far-reaching consequences, but in the menntime it must be admitted that the Aus- trian Minister Eas syored a distinot success by his firmness in carrying his escort with him to the place of the audienca→→China Gasalta,
