PRINCE CHING IN DISGRACE.
On Account of His Refusal to Grant Pass

ports to Foreign Guards.
London, Decem ber 20-A despatch
from Tien Tsin to the Central News says
Prince Ching, president of Tsungli
Yamen, is wholly to blame for the re-
fusal of the government to issue pass
ports to foleign guards to proceed to
Pekin to protect their respective lega-
tions. The protests of various foreign
representatives against this action result
ed in dissenslons in the imperial coun-
Gil. and Prince Ching has been granted
two days leave of absence on the plea
of i'll health. 1t is probable that he will
resign his Office. Tsungli Yamen grant
to the British legation passes for fifty
men, and to the other foreign legations
an average of ten to twelve passes were
each issued. The native newspapers
published in Che Foo, accuss the Japan
ese at Port Arthur of maltreating all
the Chinese that had fallen into their
hands. Chinese fishermen, the paper
charges, have been met when nearing
port and either killed or forced into
hard labor.

London, December 20.-A dispatch from

to be thoroughly coguizant with diplomatic
affairs that the emperor of China was pre-
