T0-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
From China

LONDON, Sept. % "A dispatch 10 the
Central News from Pekin dated to-day
says that the Emperor is in good health,
but is much disturbed at the realization
of the existence of a conspiracy against
him. The European community in
Pekin believe that the life of the EN-
peror is in danger. He is no match for
the willy Dowager Empress and is sadly
liz need of foreign protection in his
emergency. Pekin advlces received in
Shanghai say that the city gates were
closed yesterday to prevent the escape
ofKung, whose arrest had been ordered,
and n reward offered for his apprehen-
sion. Search was made for him through
out the city, but without success. The
execution of the sudden order to close
the gates probably gave rise to the ri
NOR of the Emperor's death, as it is be-
lieved KuDg has designs on theEmperor.
The Emperor and Dowsger Empress are
in violent opposition to one another,
the Empress being highly displeased al
the reforms which the Emperor inaug-
urated. She is DESTROYS now that
Prince Kung's grandson shall be placed
upon the throne, with herself as the
guiding spirit and acting under the
advice of Ii Hung Chang. a dispatch
from Shanghai 10 local news agency
says that the imperial decree issued
yesterday appoints the Empress Dow
ager nominslly to assist the Emperor
in the direction of the government, but
it practically amounts to the regency
of the Empress. The Emperor hence.
forth will be mere tool and Ii Hung
Chang, who will direct the foreign
board, will have greater power than
ever.
LONDON, Sept. 23.-The Chinese en-.
bassy here have been officially notified

THE EMPEROR ABDICATES.

An imperial edict that was issued
Yesterday announces that the Chinese
emperor has abdicated in favor OF the
dowager empress, The latter has or
dered that henceforth the ministers
shall deliver their official reports to
her. 1t is difficult to learn accurately
what is happening in the palace. There
is little doubt that the reform edicts led
to the deposition Of the emperor. The
dowager empress was content to let the
emperor alone so long as he was merely
fpure-head, but when he initiated or
sanctioned policy that was opposed to
her views she compelled him to abdi-
cate. The emperor's chief adviser,
Prince Kung, has evaded the efforts
that have been vigorously made to ar
rest him. It is stated that he has fed
in the direction of Shanghai. Every
body expects that Ii Hung Chang will
be reinstated in Office and that the
emperor's reforms will be peremptorily
smothered,

BROWNSVILLE, Pa, Sept. 23.-Fifty-
eight men were at work in the SnowdeD,

fourth of mile below Brownsville this
morning. At S O'Clock a terrific ex-
plosion of mine gas occurred. A great
wave of fire damp Immediately fol.
lowed, filling the mine and entries.
This also exploded spreading death and
havoc on every hand. Seven dead bodies
have been recovered. Nine men work
ing near the entry, were rescued, all
more or less seriously hurt. 1t is not
thought possible that any ofthe - men
now imprisoned in the mine could
escape death. The explosion caused the
widest excitement. Rescuing parties
are endeavoring to enter the mine at
different entries.

That it does the latter, suggests doubt

4 DISPATCH from Honolulu says the
fsot that the natives OF Hawaii have

their complete lack OF political sense
and sagacity, and utter inability to ap'
preciate the superior advantages OF re-
publican institutions, and that, therefore
they will not recommend that they be
given the right of suffrage in their own
country, and though the fundamental
idea OF republicanism is that govern
ment depends upon the consent OF the
governed.
