CHANGES IN CHINA.
Two Important Events of Recent Occur
 rcncc in the Celestial Empire.

Two Important Events of Recent Occur
 romeo in the Celestial Empire.
 The death of Prince Ch'un, the father of the present Emperor of China, has been accompanied by two changes, says the Philadelphia Press, which bctolien great altc crutiDnS in the spirit, tendency, and avowcd pulpoSe of the powerful but inscrutahlc, and often invisible, great pcrsona%rS who sway the dcstinies of China, surround the throne, and wield drspOtic pOw&r--yrt are often unknown, not only to Europe, but to Europeans long resident in China.
 The first of these changes relates to the access of foreign Ambassadors to the presence of tho Emperor. For Chinese this is accompanied by the kotow or thrice prOstratiOn-a degrading ccre- mony to European eyes, though a mere matter of ordinary respect under Chi ncse conventions. Lord Amherst in 1916 refused pcrcmptorily to submit to this in spite of unbrOkcn Russian and Dutch prccedcnts, and broke off all ne- gotiations. Tho continued refusal of tho Chinese authorities was ono of the causes of war in 1856 by England and France, and, while China offered to DOT init our own Minister to have an audi cnce if he would bend one knee slightly, this was refused. There is the best authority for saying that if the South erner who was our Minister had had the same cool insistcnce as the mild hammered Northcrncr who was secre- tary of legation. full concessions would have been made then.
 They were not, war came and brought foreign troops to Prking, and it was not until 1873 that. under a pcremptory de- mand, the Chinese GOvcrnm mt per mittrd an audience. Since then the non age of two EmpcrorS has been a con vcnicnt prrtrXt for delay, and it marks a great advance that the Chinese Gov crnmrnt. without awaiting a demand, has fixed time for an audience on Flu ropcan terms.
 Tho other change is the anuOunrr;n mt that the able. advanced and rnligit med Lii Hung Chang is to pass from his post as Nicrroy of Chi Ii. the first vice-rcgal post in the Empire. and become a mrm- Der of the grand council of state in Pcliing. Instituted ill 113O by the Elm pcror Iung Ching, this must not be confUundcd with the four grand sccrc- tal'icS, of which Lii is already mem Der as one of the two Chinamrn on this board. The grand council is in many senses the Suprrm" executive power in the Empire. Originally organ i2nd for military purposes and com posed of Manchus, it had at the hr;rin- ming of the year but one Munrha and four Chinese. Two of these are r:l the board of foreign affairs. The t'an>la- tion of Iii to this high post will h. uni v"r.a!ly accepted in China and by those int2lliGrntly familiar with it's affair as a proof that lis liberal views arc to be paramount. and, as the first | step, the long-rXpcctrd extension from TicnTsin to Tungchow is confidently ! expected. Iii iS an old man and q. ring. H., has had one stroke of paralysis. but l.c iS the ahlcSt of his race. and his l,rw post ought tn enable him to ovrr- come the bureaucratic resistance which has so long balkcd his better plans and frustrated his wiser policy.

 Ii i& un intrrC sting circumstance that no fewer than tnrrr European thrones arg occupied by children. Since the ab,iiration of King Milan, his son .AlrXanlrr, who was born in August, lHc6, alll is now, consequently, fourteen years old, has h<rn the titular ruler of S"rvin, though the cnuHtry is really governed by q board uf regents.

Queen Emma, is temporarily invested with the royal functions.
 What likelihood, asks the New York Ledger, is there that these children will ever rule in their own names? The young King of Srrvia has evidently the poorest chance of rri .rning The quarrel between his; father and his mother, the cN-Qucrn Nathalie, has divided his plrti- ot'lL'' " llllN OAlN k'At-NAlFNHAttAl lNll HOW dominant in SrrviS, aims to displa"r the Nhrrnovitch dynasty to which Kin. 7 Milan and his son belong. and suhst: tutr the prrtrn,lCr Karagrorgrvitrh As to the infant King of Spain, his .,ui,- jrcts have been hitherto withheld tru.A revolutionary outbreaks by d "rrt.!;;. sentiment of chivalry.

 The close approach tn universal Suf fr1rr which has recently been made in Spain must greatly strengthen the l,oI,- ular leaders who regard a mOnarrhic.,l system with contempt and dctcstation. The girl-Qurrn of Holland has the best chance of retaining her position, but her hour of trouble will come when her marriage is discussed. Her mother who is German. will naturally wish her to marry n German Prince; but such a project is certain to be resisted by Russia and France, nor is it likely to be viewed with favor by the Hollanders, who dread absorption in the German Empire. On the whole, there is some- l thing pathetic in the situation of these | child SOVercignS.

Ex-PresId cmt Cleveland strong Opposed
 (" th" Fr"" Coinage "r Stv"r.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 12.- mass meet. ing under the auspices of the Reform Club held at Cooper Union last night to protest against the free coinage of silver drew quite large attendance. Ex. Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild called the meeting to order and intro duced E. Ellery Anderson as the chair man of the evening
 It was moved and carried that q com mittee of ID be appointed to go to Washington and oppose the measure.
 Among the letters of regret read was one from cX-President Cleveland, in which he takes a decided stand against the Free Coinage bill. Tho letter is as follows:
 '1 have your note inviting mo to at tend tomorrow evening the meeting called for the purpose of voicing the posi- tion of the business men of our city to the free coinage of silver in the United States.
 "I shall not be able to attend and ad dress the meeting as you request, but am glad that the business interests of Now York are at last to be heard on this subject. It surely cannot be necessary for me to make a formal expression of my agreement with those that believe that the greatest peril would be invited by the adoption of the scheme embraced in the measure now pending in Congress for the unlimited coinage of silver at our hints.
 "It we have developed an unexpected capacity for the assimilation of a large ly increased volume of this currency, aud even if we have demonstrated the usefulness of such an increase, other conditions fall far short of insuring us against disaster, if in the present situa- tion we enter upon the dangerous, the reckless experiment of free, unlimited and independent silver coinage"
 Ex-Secretary Fairchild, ex-Comptroller Trenholm, Professor Laughlin, of Cor nell University, and others spoke against free coinage, and resolutions denounc- ing the system were passed.

SOME experiments have just been made with view of asccrtaining the effect of tight lacing on monkeys. Fe mole monkeys were put into plaster of paris jackets, to initiate stays, and a tight bandage put around the waist to initiate petticoat band. Several of the monkeys died very quickly, and all showed signs of injuries resulting from the treatment. The British Medical Journal, in treating the subject at some length, proves that the construction of the vital organs of the body caused by tight lacing is continually working mis- chief in the human subject. It comments the enlightened intelligence of certain section of the fashionable community which is discarding the use of the corset, and states that those who arc continuing its abuse are working woe for themselves and their children. An English paper, commenting on these reflections. says that this is all undoubtedly very lament able, but, as an expression of opinion, it considers that the most to be pitied are the monkeys.

WENT DOWN NEAR HER PIER.
\ British Bark sinks Taking a Tug With
 Her.

n
 Her. NEW YORK, Feb 12.-The four-masted bark was capsized at her dock in Ba- yonne shortly after noon. She was be- ing lowed into tidewater dock No. of the Standard Oil Company by two tugs. She was unloaded and unballasted. Owing to unexplained carelessness the vessel became unbalanced and capsiZed. She sank at once, dragging down the tug s. L. Morris which was attached to her. Rowboats at once put out from the shores and rescued the crews of the two vessels.
 Pilots Graphic Description.
 A pilot who witnessed the boats go down tells the following story: "Without a moments warning the tall masts of tho Bruce inclined in toward the shore. She gracefully keeled over until she reached an angle of about forty-flve degrees. Chains and other iron work which happened to be on the deck wore thrown to the listing side with a rushing, boom- ing noise. In an incredibly short space of time the Bruce was completely over. There was no time to cut the tugs loose, and as the heavy ship rolled over and over and went down she carried one of the little, snorting, pufling boats with her. For half a minute there was a great roaring sound water and steam met. Then the big ship calmly settled herself on the bottom and became partly righted. The water became smooth again, and her three masts pointed at the sky at an acute angle with the water. It was all over in five minutes"

IT has been doubted by learned men that there are any who live to be one hundred years old, but Austrian census takers have discovered score or more persons in the empire who have passed their one hundredth birthday. The eldest was the widow of Peter Hanei. She has has a certificate of birth dated December 24. 1116. Of her four living sons, the youngest is 70 years old.

IT was suggested, in a recent report to the secretary of the interior, that all of the male Indians of suitable age and physical condition be enlisted in the
 military service of the United States.
 The idea was to form them into con- panieS and regiments and make of them a body of irregular cavalry similar to the COSsaCks of Russia. This proposi- ton would strike the ordinary man as
 being about as reasonable as it would be
 to put all the rogucs and criminals in
 the land on the detective forces of our
 great cities. The enlisted Indian, or "lndian scout" as he is called, is useful to-day only as a guide and an inter prCtcr. He amounts to nothing in the fighting line, except it be against some other tribe for which he has a natural enmity. He is supCrStitiouS, treacher
 ous lazy and easily offended. He has murdered many fine officer in his occasional rebcl.ions, and has often
 escaped just punishment for his treach- cry. It would be wiser for the govern mcnt to board all the Indians in the country at first. class hotels than to arm l them as irregular cavalry.
