PICKING, November 80, 18sS.-[Special
correspondence of THE HERALD All
Picking is excited to-day over the boy
emperor's marriage. The bride was
selected few days ago and the first
official announcement appeared in the
Peking Gazette of yesterday. To-day
somewhere near a million Chinese
tongues are wagging inside of orange
colored cheeks about the new empress,
and the highly rouged daughters of
the Msnchu nobility are wondering
what kind of looking girl she is, and
are euVying both her and the two sisters
who have been chosen to rank as tuc
highest of the imperial concubines.
The announcement of the Peking
Gdsette is official. 1t comes from the
innermost recesses of the forbidden city,
and it was dictated by the empress
dowager herself. quote it in the
translation which the Chinese writer of
our American minister has prepared
FOR the State Department at Washing
ton. 1t requires only one page OF the
Peking Gazette TO print 1t, aud this
means space not longer nor wider
than the back of long official envelope.
It reads:
Especial edict of the empress dow
ager."
1.-THE Emperor having reyerently sue
ceeded to his exalted inheritance and
increasing day by day in maturity, it is
becoming that he should select q
Virtuous consort to assist in the admin

members of his household and to en-

Thus is settled question which has
been sgitRting the Chinese court for the
past year, and which has cost the
families of the Manchu mobiles months
of trouble, hundreds OF thousands OF
cash and an incalculable amount of
bitter Disappointment. China has been
ruled for more than two centuries by
Manchurians. Peking has its Chinese
city and its Tartsr city and the Emperor
In o full-blooded MGnchu. It is pre-
scribed BY the laws of the court that he
shall wed no one but Manchu maiden
and during the past year the destin-
guished Hsnchu papas, having daugh-
ters between the ages Of IL and Is, have
been rreouired to send them to
Peking in order that they might be in
spected by the empress dowager with a
view to the selection of such as seemed
good for the imperial harem. The first
inspection was held last spring. The
maidens came by hundred frem Picking
and from other northern parts Of the
empire. They were conveyed in carts
from their homes to the palace and
their delicate frames were jolted like
jelly through the ruts of the Picking
streets on these springless, heavy, box
like vehicles. Each girl was dressed in
all the extravaganza of Chinese costume.
Her hair, rich black and lusrous, was
combed out over bar foot loI & at the
back of her hesd, 80 that it stood out
for six inches on each side. Her face
originally of delicate cream, verging
upon the bloom of the large yellow
peach, was overlaid with rougs al
paste, and her eyes, coal black, were
heightened in color by artificial means.
Tho Manchu girls are the most beauti-
full in China, and an unadorned maiden
with her soulful eyes looking out OF
their narrow, almond-shape Sits is
enough to stir the blood of the coolest
Caucasian. She is plump and lucious
and she has not the disgusting com
preston of foot which is always asso
oiated with her Chinese sister. There
are no pipe-stem legs snd mutilateC
feet about the palace OF the emperor o
China, and the empress will probably
wear No. shoe.

These hundreds OF msndarin's daugh-
tiers were Nanchus and they were
the prettiest Manchus in China. Their
carts were led through wall after wall
through the great city of Peking and
they arrived at the palace at 2 O'Clock
in the morning. Much Of the work OF
the Chinese court is done in the night
and it was dark when they were carried
across the little lake insids the
palace grounds and they ate their
breakfast at M, when the rest of
Picking was still Sleeping. After this
they were given little time for primp-
ing and powdering, and they were then
ushered into the presence of the
Empress Dowaeer in groups Of four and
five. Each girl carried q tablet. bearing
her name and age and thess were
handed to the empress, who put ques-
tons to the young ladies and passed
upon their beauty. The only men
present were the court eunchs. OF whom
will speak further on, and the unsuc-
cessful candidates were passed over to
these with orders that each should be
given piece of silver in the shape OF a
shoe, which weighed exactly one ounce,
and be sent away. The great majority
OF the maidens we're discarded at this
first inspection. The remainder we're
asked to come again. A. the second
inspection a closer examination was
made and there was further wedding
out of the least beautiful OF the
maidens. At this time the unsuccess-
full candidates were each gwen roll OF
silk and at the third INSPECTION which
took place in the latter part of last
month, the hundreds had been reduced
to fifteen, and it gas from these fifteen
that the above three were finally
chosen.

gauze screen. Every Chinaman who
appears before this screen has to get
down on his knees and bump his
head against the floor, no matter if he
be Ii Hung Chang or one of the prince,
and it is impossible for an American to
conceive the sacredness and the awful
divinity which hedges the body of the
Emperor and this Empress. The palaces
themselves are surrounded by yellow
Tiled wall, mere than two miles in
extent and many feet high, and around
this there is wide moat. The interior
Is called the carnation prohibited city
At the gates of the wall are officers in
uniform, and no foreigner ever steps
within it. The ordinary Cinnamon
never gets inside. and the masses of the
empire suppose that the palaces within
are upheld by gold and silver pillars.
They think they are walled with preci-
GUS jewels and that their majesties
walk on psvements of gold. Outside of
this city is the imperial city, which has
wall fifty feet high, and which is so
wide at the top that four good sized car
rlages could be driven abreast upon it.
1t is from this wall that the stranger
can get his only view of the palaces of
the Chinese Epmire. They are a
wilderness OF high. broad buildings
covered with curving roofs of bright
yellow tiles, which glisten like gold
under the bright sun of northern China.
They look more like temples than
palaces, and they are many of them GEN.
turios old.
1s,m,ow is the imperial color of China,
and His Majesty's foot is too holy tC
step upon earth of any other hue. When
he goes OUTSIDE OF the palace walls the
streets through which his procession is
to pass are covered with yellow clay,
and 1 saw a hundred half-paked Chi
| nese coolies pushing this In from the
country in wheelbarrows through the
frosty wintry air as l started for the
| Chinese wall. The Empress dowager
was to have an outing on the following
| day, and these miles of dirty streets
were being prepared for her. Here and
there shops which had been erected
wore being torn down, and the wide
streets OF the tartar city, which are
usually filled with booths like those of q
great fair, were being cleared for the
royal procession. Mating was being
hung up before the houses. and navy
blue cotton was stretched across the
side streets. No human eye outside the
court must rest upon the Emperor or
Empress, and when they go forth all
are warned to remain in doors, and the
foreigners receive notice through their
ministers that they must not appear on
certain streets at such times, nor can
they go out while the imperial process
sion is passing, The procession has
archers with it, and there are few shots

The Empress Dowager who, notwith-
standing the boy Emperor has assembled
the throne, still remains Empress regent
is one Of the most remarkable women
in Chinese history. She has ruled
China for twenty-five years, and she
became Empress regent in connection
with the eastern Empress in 1891, when
the Emperor HEN Feng died, leaving
two wives. The eastern Empress died
elk years ago, and there was at this
time great excitement in Peking be-
cause it was thought that the western
Empress, or this noted lady, who was
the real ruler of China. was sick. The
most noted doctors of China were called
to court. Their medicines availed
n 1thing, and they visited Doctor Dud-
geon. an eminent Scottish practitioner
of Pekiug, and asked him for some
medicine and advice. Doctor Duo
geon replied thatif the Emprese wanted
his services she could call him in. but
that he did not intend to risk advice
and medicine at second hand. The
result was that the eastern Empress
died, and the present Empress Dowager

1t costs a great amount to keep up
his palace, and the supplies which are
sent to it are noted down in the Peking
Gazette. Oneite before me announces
the sending of 900 pencils and 200
sheets of red scrolls. Another is an
order of dress materials for the En-
peror, and in it are the items of ten
pieces each of bright yellow, brown,
sapphire blue, rice colored, tea colored,
shrimp, black and silver gray gauze.
There are ninety pieces of gauze In all,
and the silks sent cost thousands of
dollars. During one year 8 400 rolls of

of satin, 800 rolls of brocaded satin and
800 pieces of fine calico were furnished
