Foreign Ministers to BE Received Here-
, after ~ 'The Son of Heaven"
. Recent dispatches from Picking stated
that great change lad occurred III dip
icmctic relations between the Chinese
Government ard the foreign Ministers
accredited to the Imperial Court. 1t is
known, says the New York Tribune.
that, barring few exceptions, these
diplomats were never admitted into the
presence CT tho Emperor, and that they
hCd to transact business with the Tsung
Ii 12mCn, or Foreign Affairs bureau.
Tho young Sovereign of China pub
lishcd on December 12, 1890, Il decree,
il which he says, among other things
highly complimentary for the diplo-
matte corps ut Picking:
at is nearly two years since we hav.
taken in hand the rcins of government.
and our duty is to receive the cnvoys OF
al friendly countries. We decree.
therefore, That 4 reception in honor OF
the foreign Ministers and Charges DAT
f2ircs shall take place during the period
Of the ErGt moon of next yctT, and the
Tsung Ii NGlncn will get in due time
the necessary orders fixing the date of
the reception. On the succeeding day
a banquet will be offered to the diDlo-
matte body in the palace of the Tsung
Ii EameD. That ceremony shall be re-
pcGtcd every year ct the same epoch.
These arrangements show that we en-
tGI'tGil the most sincere desire to main
t2in and strengthen continually our
good relations with friendly countries.
Let this be rGspectcd!'
In launching forth = his decree, the
young Emperor .SiCh-Tu-Yen implicitly
a1oliahcd the humiliating ceremony of
TIC Kaou-Taou, which was required
formerly Of any foreigner admitted into
the Imperial presence. He was aware
that t:i4 foreign Ministers of this time
would not submit to such a ceremony.
The kaou-Taou consisted in making,
not only h2forc the BEparor himself
bat even before Il yellow draD2d Inanil5in
representing him, the three l;acciinGs
down and the nine 'prCStrrnations"
prescribed by Chinese ctiIuctta. In
1861. Count GOloflinc, the Euc3i2u Min
i,I2" appointed to the Court of Picking,
Was requested to do the Kaou-Taou be-
fore = yellow puppct supposed to repre-
sent tho ''3an Of Heaven" IL iadig-
pc-tly declined to submit To that humil-
i2tiOl or to cross tho Chinese frontier
II 1903, Lord Mccartney, the British
Minister, also refused to perform the
Kaou-TaCu, and consented only to put
one knee down, as lie would have done
before his sovereign in London. He was
finally received by the Emperor KEN
Louug; but the Council of Rites
blamed the latter; and the augurs pre-
dictcd all sorts Of evils as about to fall
upon China, whose ruler had forgotten
for once the inc-honOrcd customs.
Still, almost ono century later, in 1878,
the foreign Ministers wcrc received in
a body by the Chinese sovereign, whose
Empire was passing then through a
series OF cal&mities. The Imperial de-
cree announcing that annual receptions
will DC given to the foreign Minister'S
amounts to q revolution in the govern
mental customs Of the Middle Kingdom.

PROBABLY PERISHED.
Two Men Undertake a Perilous Mount

Two Men Undertake PerilouS Mount
ain Journey.
Two weeks ago, says the Placerville
Democrat of last Saturday, George Bos-
worth and Mr.. Cline left this city to go to
Lake Valley. They were met by II. c..
Barton at Dennis Johnson's, about p. NJ.
on Tuesday. since which time no account
has been had of them. Mr.. Barton says
they appeared to be pretty well tired out,
and he advised them to turn back, or at
any rate not to attempt to cross the sum-
init at that time, as the snow was about
four feet deep. Bosworth was inclined to
turn back, but Cline urged him to go on,
and they started up the mountain.
AS it is eleven miles from Johnson's to
the nearest point where they could get
shelter, it is feared that they may have
perished in the snow. Mr.. Cline was
anxious to get to Carson City where his
father resides. The mother of Mr.. Bos-
worth resides in this city.
Three men started over the Sunday
previous, one of whom was found dead
by Mr.. Barton and Mr.. McNull twelve
miles this side of the lake, and it is sup
posed the other two perished also. Mr..
Barton crossed on snow-skates, and re-
ports the weather as being very cold at
night time, and the snow very soft dur
ing the day. Mr.. Barton knows that
country well, and is fearful that all these
men have perished.

following reasons: First, that be was
only 10 years old when committed, and
was led into the commission of his crime
by an older person. The property taken

How APUZZLE WAS SOLVED.

When you want q certain article, you want
the best make of that article, don't you?
But how to determine which make is best
is what puzzles you, isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for you,
by authority which cannot be questioned,
you are pleased, aren't you?
And you would like to hear of one puz.
zle that has been solved for the people Of
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition Of 1889 at
Paris, France, the best sewing machines of
the world. including those of America, were
in competition. They were passed upon by a
jury composed of the best foreign mcchan-
ical experts. two Of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers of France.
This jury. after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best of all. and
awarded that company the highest prize Of
fered. the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as a further
recognition Of superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the COM
pany, with the Cross of the Legion of
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world in
favor Of the No. 8 and No. IL Wheeler &
Wilson machines.
The No. 0, for family use, and the No. IL,
for manufacturing uses. are the best in the
world to-day.
And now, when you want a sewing ma
chine, it you do not get the best, it will be
Your own fault.
Ask your sewing machine dealer for the
No. Wheeler & Wilson machine, and if he
docs not keep them, write to- us for descrip-
tive catalogue, prices and terms.
Agents wanted in all unoccupied territory.
