THE EMPEROR of China is reported criti-
caliy i'll and though the announcement is
apparently of little consequence in this
quarter OF the globe, the death of the young
emperor would have no unimportant csnse
quenees upon the status of American aud
European affairs in the far East. He has in
dicated favorable policy towards foreign
ers, but the dowager empress has opposed
him, and IL has required all his power 10 pre-
vent China from drifting into an anti -foreiga
system OF politics. His death may also en-
barras the relations between the Chinese aud
japanese governments.
