THE CHINESE REGENCY.


London, Oct THE Pekin corre-
spondent of The Times, telegraphing
on Tuesday. SAYS: The restoration of
the regency is complete. The empress
dowager receives the cabinet daily,
seated behind the emperor openly,
and not, as formerly, behind a screen.
The government Is more retrosrade
and reactionary Yung Lu, one of
his trusted friends. succeeds the
late Prince Kung as the chief
Manchu, while the viceroy of the prov
iEce of Chi LIE is a Machu. Nevertheless,
despite assertions to the contrary. the
balance of power between the Chinese
and Manchus in high office Is unaltered
In the central government, though there
is a small proportional increase of Man
chus in provincial posts.
The tsung Ii yamen contains no
member cognizant of foreign affairs. Its
chief working member is Hsu Yung
vi, the negOtiator of the Gerard con-
vention of 1885, who was subsequently
removed from the tsung Ii yamen at the
Instance of Sir Nicholas O'Connor Uhen
British minister to China) for breach of
faith, but who was reappointed last
will be Hsu Ching Chong, former min
lister to Russia and now director of the
Transmanchurian railway. who long re-
ceived Russian financial assistance. The
Russians welcome the change as in
creasng their influence.
The immediate existing cause Of the
change was the impending edict order
ing officials to abolish the queue and TO
adopt foreign dress. A search of the
house of Kang Yu Wei, the reformer.
resulted in the discovery of papers
proving that he was carrying on a cor
respondence with the leaders of the an
ti-dynastic movement In southern
China.
The tsung Ii yamcn. having unavail-
ingly entreated the foreign legations
to spare China the humiliation of bring
ing foreign escorts to the capital,
agreed to the demand of the powers
for special train to bring the escort
from Tien Tsin.

thick underbrush. and those unac-
customed to searching timber could
easily have been deceived. for It was
not ten minutes after this before the
firing was commenced. Had the Indians
not contemplated a general massacre
they would have fired on the men who
were searching the timber.
These Piilagers are well armed and
are good marksmen, therefore, 1t is
easy to see where they had the advan-
tage Of the situation at the start If
cur men are not all killed 1t is surmised
that they have gone some distance into
the woods, where they would be safe
from a night attack from another band
of Indians who could have come upon
them from the lake shore. If 1t Is true
that the Cass Lake Indians have gone
to assist the Bear Island Indians, the
retreat of General Bacon into the in
terror can be understood.

Kang-Yu- Wei Reoounts the His
tory Of the Crisis.
HIS ADVICE TO THE EMPEROR.

Urged Him to Employ Englishmen
and Americans to Effect Suggested
Reforms The Emperor Admitted
That 'Foreign Counties Wore No
Longer Insignificant States"
London, Oct. 1.-THE Hong Kong cor
respondent of The Times telegraphs the
substance of a long interview he has
had with Kang- Yu-Wei, the Cantonese
reformer, in which the latter recounted
the history Of the crisis. Kang-
said that on June 16 he had a two
hours audience of the emperor, who,
anxious about the Russian encroach-
ments, was ready to listen to any plan
to secure the integrity of the empire.
The Times correspondent continues:
Kang advised replacing the conserva-
tive ministers by young progressives
and the employment Of Englishmen
and Americans to effect suggested re-
forms. He advised the emperor to
study the progress of Japan and vest
ern methods. The emperor admitted
the cogency of his arguments. but ex-
pressed his regret at being unable to
remove high officials because Of the
empress dowager.
Kang then urged his majesty to
strengthen his friendship with foreign
powers, in particular to secure an al
lance with England. The emperor said
he realized that foreign countries were
no longer insignificant states and OBJ
served that it was a pity that his min
listers had not averted the impending

ably be made emperor.
On the morning of Sept. 18 Kang re-
ceived two letters from the emperor.
dated respectively Sept 16 and II. The
first represented the difficulties of his
position, the empress dowager's anger,
and his fears that he would be unable
to protect his throne, and commanded
Kang to consult with his colleagues as
to how to save the emperor. In the
second letter his majesty said:
81 have commanded you to superin-
tend the establishment of an official
organ. 1t is strongly against my wish.
| have great sorrow, which I cannot
describe with ink and pen. You must
proceed Immediately outside to devise
means to save me without a moments
delay"
The letter concluded with an express
sion of gratitude for Kang's faithful
ness. warning to him to take care of
himself, and an expression of hope
that matters would mend ere long

missionary, Timothy Richard, whom
he asked to call upon the British and

J. R. Hogan, Populist. is $1,000. This
