THE REVOLT OF THE EMPRESSES,

Poking, Dec 14. The revolt of the Empiassas, relicts of hfa doceased alujasty Tung Chib, has been the best topic of conversation in Poking during the past ten days or se; and in so far as the episode though temporarily adjusted to all outward appearances, may yet bave its influence on the disordered story of modern China, it may be worth while to piece together the fragmentary details that have become known.

To appreciate the situation it must be re- * By inserting therein immediately after mombored that the title to the throne of the late paragraph 4 of Clause Vili. a new paragraph Emperor Kuang Hsu was never truly valid, ac 5.

But at any rate they were thien to the one Lung Yu Empress Dowager; she was no more the real mother of the new Emperor than they; and since she said new Emperor was now the adopted son of Tung Chih as well as Kuang Hit it was only fair that they (three to one) should share with that one the honours and emoluments of the official rank of Empress Dowager.

The controversy had, raged for some time beneath the yellow roofs of the Forbidden City when the funeral of the late 'Empress Dowager gave to the revolting Empresses au opportunity of public demonstration.

It does not seem to have occurred to anyone that to let the Empresies remain, where they were would be the simplest way to peace in the FIRE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION OF Palace. Perhaps it was thought that disan

The end of the story is probably knowa ja you. The Empresses returned at the end of last week (the weather is already bitterly cold and the Eastern Tombs can scarcely be a homely abode); they were at once visited by the Lung Yu Empreas Dowager, and were appeased with some extra' official title and extra emoluments not the fall Tis. 20,000 that they are believed to have claimed, but something fairly satisfactory.

The widows of Tung Chih have already shown their mettle with some success., Tae Lung Yi Em- press-Dowager is described as a thoroughly amiable woman but of ambitious character.
