LONG STEP BACKWARD

Pekin. Sept. Pan imperial edict just
issued definitely announces that the En-
peror Of China has resigned his power TO
the empress (dewager empress). who has
ordered the ministers TO deliver to her in
future their official reports.
Il is difficult to. obtain reliable informa-
ton at the palace in regard TO the pro-
ceeding, but the recent reformatory edicts
probably caused the change. While the
emperor was subservient and a more fig
urehead, the dowager empress permitted
him TO remain in peace, but as he at
tempted to act on his own initiative his
practical deposition was the result. His
principal adviser Karg Yumoi. the Can
tonese reformer, fled in spite of the Wig
orous attempts made to arrest him and
it is said he is now on his way to Shang-
hal
The effect Of the change must be great.
IN all probability Ii Hung Chang will be
re-instated in power and Russian power

lions of the Chinese are now impossible

The Radical makes a bitter charge on

by a vindicator or by Germany to save
