She herself escorted the Emperor to his place of retreat called the Ping-tai, and having soon him securely confined within its high walls and the drawbridge once more brought over, her face resumed that hard. look usual to it as she and her numerous retinue returned to Peking. All the way from Peking to his prison, I heard the Emperor weeping at his hard fats. He was so utterly broken down and oppressed. Poor Majesty his meanest subject amongst his 400 million people would have refused to exchange places with him on that day. Many of us who escorted his Majesty dropped jears of sympathy, and I peeped at the author of all his evils to see how she look it. Her heart seemed to be of stone.

DEATH OF A WELLKNOWN PRINCE
We regret to hear of the death of Chin Ch'i, Prince of Kehchin, and Order, which occurred yesterday. The deceased inherited his title in the fifties and in the reign of the late Emperor Tung Chib was decorated with the three-eyed peacock's feather, with the brevet rank of a Prince of the 1st Order. He held during three reigns in succession the posts of Grand Chamberlain, Inspector-General of Armies, Commander-in- chief of the Imperial Guards, Captain-General of a Banner Corps, and Commandant of the Rifte Brigade of the Peking Field Force, in the duties of all of which he always showed great diligence and efficiency. Lately he was repeat edly granted sick leave but we regret that he did not succeed in regaining his health, where by we have lost a failliful and valuable member of our Court. We hereby command Prince P'u Lun, 4th Order, with an escort of ten Imperial Guardamen to carry a To-le prayer coverlet to be used as a shrould for deceased, and sail Prince shall also pour alibation to the dead on our behalf before the remains of the deceased Prince. As a further mark of recogni- tion of his services during three reigns (Hsien Feng, Tung Chih, and Kuang Hs) we hereby command that Tis. 3,000 be paid by the keeper of the Privy Purse to the family of the deceased for funeral expenses,tbatall black marks against his name be erased from the official records and that his eldest son Sung Chieh succeed to his deceased parent's title and estates. The second son of the decessed, Sung hsi, and grandson, An Sen, are also hereby granted the brevet pre- mier button, in order that all the nearest mem- bers of the deceased Prince's family, may partake of the imperial bounty.
Note: The holder of the title of Prince of Kehchin stands tenth in precedence at Court amongst the chief Princely Houses now existing in Peking, vir:Prince of L, Prince of Jul, Prince of Cheng, Prince of Yu, Prince of Shub, Prince of Chuang, Prince Kung, Prince Chun,, Prince of Vi, Prince of Kehchin, Prince of Shunch'eng, Prince of Ting, Prince Ching, and Prince Tuan.-Tranlater..
THE UNFORTUNATE EMPEROR.
PEKING, March zad.
"I can assure you that the Empress Dowager. had everything prepared for the crowning of the new Emperor on the 1st day of the New Year (31st January), but on the 27th of the month the Tsungli Yamen handed to her Kin Lien shan's memorial, praying that the Emperor be allowed to resume the reins of Government, even in his illuess, for that was the only way to satisfy his Majesty's millions of subjects throughout the Empire.
"Oh, the rage of the Empress Dowager when she read that obnoxious telegram! I have scen many of her displays of temper and anger but none like this one-it surpassed even her rage at Kang Yu-wei and his Reformers. We eunuchs, and even the Prince of Li, who brought the telegram, were simply terrified and trembled lest her anger shoud fill on any. one present! Who dare send such a telegram? at last came her question- Kin Yun-shan (Kin's official name) of Shanghai, and over a thousand others was the Prince of Li's reply.. Very well. We'll show them how we deal with traitors who cross our path, and the Prince of Li backed out of the presence with a sense of relief cleanly depicted on his face. As a mat- ter of fact, I really think if this had beeri the only protest sent, the Empress Dowager and her advisers would have tried to brazen it out and have ignored the telegram; but unfortunate ly for their schemes no less than forty-six.pro. tests of the same kind came to Peking, after the other, some a dozen in a day, until the Empress Dowager believed that there was really something in it and decided to defer her coup. Mark nienst gave up her intentions but merely deferred them.
"As a consequence Kin Lien-shan is praised sky-high as a devoted patriot and supporter of the Emperor by almost every one in Peking, always excepting the Empress Dowager, her advisers and their partisans; but on the other hand, these denoncé Kin as the ringleader of rebellion and I may gave a warning that the Empress Dowager is determined to have his head even if it should cost her half the Empire. There will be nothing left undane in order to encompass her end, and I heard the Empress Dowager say recently to Prince Ching, who as Grand Chamberlain can enter the Palace at all hours of the day and night, to see the Empress Dowager, that others of the Kang Yü-wer and Kin'party must also be put out of the way before either she or the new Emperor will be able to rule the empire quietly. Finally you may not know that, ever since the fateful, enforced abdication of the Emperor, his Majesty has four times attempted to commit suicide; his last attempt being the refusal of food and drink in order to starve himself to death"-N. C. D. News.

Defective Rifles,
A good deal of indignation has been caused: over the news that the men composing the City of London Volunteer regiment have been sent out to South Africa with defective rifles. In- terviewed on the subject on 8th ulto, the Lord Mayor said: "It has been found that the rifles-particularly at certain ranges--are defective in the sighting."Do I gather," said his questioner, "that new back-sights will have to be sent out to the entire C.IV. force before the Lee-Enfields can be carried into action ?" "I understand," said the Lord Mayor, "that that is so."
Happily, in time, it has been discovered at Aldershot that many of the carbines served out to the 4th Cavalry Brigade were undersighted, and in other respects defective. The weapons have been called in,

AGENDA
To Protest Against the War. A stormy meeting to protest against the war was held in Northampton on the 7th inst., Mr. Labouchere and Mr. Hyndman being announced as principal speakers. There was an organised opposition, and long before the meeting cum- menced the platform was stored and chairs thrown about the hall. When Mr. Labouchere arrived he and other speakers had a struggle to reach the platform. The party in possession of the meeting sang with overwhelming effect "God Save the Queen" and "Rule Britannia,' and while the chairman was appealing for order a determined rush on the platform ended in the table and chairs being pitched into the body of the hall. Seeing the danger of their position Cargo ex Konig Albert, subject to rent."

The Chinese Minister's Tour. At the annual meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce Mr. Barclay, the President, said they had all been pleased with the visit of the Chinese Minister, and those who, had come in contact with him could not but be struck with his sagacity, knowledge, and geniality. It was a great thing for China if he was a type of the men who were coming to the front.in that country, As regarded the circumstances in which he came, they were all aware that he was invited by the Chamber and the Corporation, and the programme drawn up at the Town Hall was in the main adhered to. A certain club in London to which he had unfortunately allied himself in some way had been rather officious in trying to draw him into places which the Chamber had not selected, seeing that there were more important places to be seen. The efforts of the Chamber, along with those of the Corporation, had been success ful in keeping the whole thing ou right lines, and the Ambassador bad gone away very much impressed by what he had seen in Manchester. They had taken the opportunity to rub well into his Excellency the policy of the open door.
