That the Empresa Dowager should be unwilling to banish Yusa Lu from the Court is camily to be understood. Recently

1 he has been, to all appearance, the guiding spirit at Hsianfu and Kaifengfu, and has proved himself the strongest man among the surviving members of the Conservative party. What is not so easy to understand is the attitude suid to have been taken up by YeNo Lr himself. According to our Shanghai correspondent's telegram of the 13th inst., SRENG has received a despatch from him, in which Yuno Lu speaks of disregarding the personal danger to him. involved in the return of the Court at once to Peking, on the ground that delay threatens the reigning dynasty. YUNG Lu thus seems to be posing as a disinterested supporter of the Imperial family, ready to sacrifice his fortunes in its enuso. This is a new role. We should but like to say it is a mere assumption, but YUNG Lu's previous career does not exactly inspire confidence in his protestations.

ACCORDING to a telegrain from Peking, dated the 6th instant, to the North China Daily News, Princo UBINO. following the advice of the representatives of Great Britain and the United States, has made the four following suggestions to the Throne, viz., that the heir-appareat Fr CHUN should be disinherited, that the Grand Secretary Yoya Lu should be kept away from Court, that Tune Feusiana should be decapit. ated, and that the so-called regency of the Express Dowager should be abolished. To the first and third suggestions, according to our Shanghai contemporary's correspondent, the Empress Dowager gave a reluctant The second and fourth she absolutely rejected. As is already woll known, an Imperial decree was issued from the Palace at Kaifengfu on the 30th November, announcing that PU CHUN was deposed from his position as heir-apparent and ordered to quit the Court. However, t seems that the deres so far is a mere form, for, according to a private telegram received in Shanghailast week by the friend
