CHANGES In CHINA.
Two Important Events of Recent Occur
renee In the Celestial Empire.

4Wo GfthtS VI ISoCcnO oCCuE-
renee 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 betoken
great alterations in the spirit, tendency,
and avowed purpose of the powerful but
inscrutable, and often invisible, great
personages who sway the destinies of
China, surround the throne, and WELD
despotic power-yet 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 the Emperor. For Chinese
this is accompanied by the kotow or
thrice prostration-a degrading cere-
mony to European eyes, though a mere
matter of ordinary respect under Chi
nese conventions. Lord Amherst in
1916 refused peremptorily to submit to
this in spite of unbroken Russian and
Dutch precedents, and broke off all ne
gotiations. The continued refusal of
the Chinese authorities was one of the
causes of war in 1856 by England and
France, and, while China offered to per-
NIT our own Minister to have an audi
ence 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 insistence as the mild
hammered Northerner who was secre-
tary of legation, full concessions would
have been made then.
They were not, war came and brought
foreign troops to Picking, and it was not
until 1878 that under peremptory de-
mand, the Chinese Government per-
mitted an audience. Since then the nom
age of two Emperors has been a con-
venient pretext for delay, and it marks
a great advance that the Chinese Gov
eminent, without awaiting demand,
has fixed time for an audience on Eu-
ropean terms.
The other change is the announcement
that the able, advanced and enlightened
Ii Hung Chang is to pass from his post
as Viceroy of Chi Ii, the first vice-regal
post in the Empire, and become a men,
Der of the grand council of state in
Picking. Instituted in 1870 by the EN-
peror Yung Ching, this must not be
COMPOUNDED with the four grand secre-
taries, of which Ii Is already mem
Der as one of the two Cinnamon on
this board. The grand council is in
many senses the supreme executive
power in the Empire. Originally organ
lied for military purposes and COM
posed of Manchus, it had at the begin
ming Of the year but one Muncha and
four Chinese. Two of these are on the
board Of foreign affairs. The transla-
ton of Ii to this high post will be uni
versally accepted in China and by
those intelligently familiar with it's
affairs as proof that his liberal views
are to be paramount, and, as the first
step, the long-expected extension from
Tien-Tsin to Tungchow is confidently
expected. Ii is an old man and aging.
He has had one stroke of paralysis, but
he is the ablest of his race, and his
new post ought to enable him to over
come the bureaucratic resistance which
has SO long baked his better plans and
frustrated his wiser policy. :,

transactions II is maintained that ~
this is done all creditors will be put ON
The same footing and then would come

Jcrc ROache said equity demanded all

II Is very true that many credits had mo-
doubt bpcu given based ON the present
condition of affairs, and II any change
was made, IL should be only after ample
time had been given 10 prepare for the
