high office to which he was called,

A SAD PROCLAMATION.

An edict issued a month ago by
the Emperor of China to those
within the palace precincts has just
come to light. During this time it
has been jealously guarded from
the public, as it was hoped and
wished that the young Emperor,
despairing and discouraged, would
change his mind and recall his
utterances. The translation of
this most extraordinary edict of
any issued by the Emperor during
the war has been obtained. 1t was
given out when Wing Thuug Isao
and Wen Thung Shih memorialized
the Emperor, suggesting the re-
moval of ythe capital westward.
The substance of this proclamation
is as follows:
"When, we first took charge of
the affairs of the empire it was our
intention to introduce many re-
forms. Suddenly and unexpected
ly the Japanese have broken the
peace, taken away onr Corean de
pendency and taken possession of
the borders of our empire. We
have sent our Generals, on whom
we trusted, with their armies, to
punish the enemies of peace to
drive them away, but we never
intended to disturb the peace of
the japanese Empire, and this our
and all fort ign nations will know.
Little did we expect that our Gen
erals were incompetent, and in
many CAGES uDtrustworthy, and
that the soldiers were lnsubordin-
ate and ill.supplied with the arms
adequate, and for which large sums
of money were appropriated by us
to supply them. 1t isV for these
reasons that the japanese have
gained victory after victory and
place after place, which causes as
the greatest concern, and makes
our ancestors restless in their
honored graves.
"All this affiiction and trouble
is because we are unworthy and
have employed unfit men. If.
however, the worst comes and the
enemy secure our sacred affairs,
then there remains nothing for US
but to perish at the altar of our
fathers and be gathered home to
them, fighting to the last, as they
did before us, for our country and
our honor.
"When that time Genes, you may
reverent,y escort the Empress
Dowsger westward and elect
worthy man to be your Emperor
look after the sacred affairs of our
ancestors, revive thought and wipe
out this Disgrace

with the dead, dug from Theban
sepulchers, released and again
passed in circulation. Idollzed by
men, an aristocrat among metals,
the most contradictory of all pro
ducts Of awful nature, producing
such opposite results, so many
heart pangs, so many thrills of
JOY, 80 many bitter tears, 80 many
happy smiles, so much crime, so
much honorable effort!
