crn methods and ideas. Such a programme
naturally arrayed against him all h CON
servatives, and the Empress Dowager TsI
An, placing herself at their head, effected a
palace revolution whereby she recovered
supreme authority. The recent reforma-
tory edicts were thereupon annulled and
most OF the conspicuous native reformers
we're arrested and put to death. KASa
Yu-wEI, however, warned betimes by the
Emperor himself, managed to escape on
board a British vessel and has taken refuge
at Hong Kong.
1t must have been foreseen by the au-
thors Of the coup dGtut that, so long as
KwANG-sU should live, there would DO
danger either of his escape from the palace,
in which he was virtually q prisoner, or OF
a native uprising in his favor, or of an In
terposition on his behalf by Great Britain
and other foreign powers that are DESTROYS
of seeing China enter upon the path OF
Western civilization. Under tho circum-
stances, 1t was evident to all persons ac-
quainted with the recent history OF China
that KwANG-sU's chance OF life was small,
and Il will not, therefore, surprise them to
hear that he has passed away.

tanned in some quarters regarding six-day
races can be traced, in many cases, to the
misconception Of those who a witnessed
them. "what a frlghtful task it must be
to push a bicycle around that track for
hours at a time! exclaimed n visitor at the
race last year. At the same time bicycllsts
present, who had wheeled over several
hundred miles OF rough country q and
knew what 1t meant to be In good form for
riding, almost wondered how tho contest
ants could keep pace with their pedals on a
beautiful, smooth, hard track where there
wasn't so much as a pebble to obstruct
their progress. Other spectators, like the
one quoted, seemed to overlook the fact
that the modern bicycle is one OF the most
easily running machines ever constructed,
and that on the plank track OF the Garden
the bare weight Of the legs almost suflced
TO keep the wheel moving.
The riders loss Of sleep Is also a matter
which has given rise to severe condemna-
ton Of six-day races. Countless instances
exist where men have accustomed them
selves to do with only two or three hours of
sleep q day for weeks at n time, and the de-
privation did not visibly affect their health.
NlLuOuJ u uOuDb JutTe COulu W O'ii III
New York dozens of men whose business
affairs often prevent them from sleeping
more than q couple Of hours each day for u
week or two, and yet they appear at their
offices regularly, and their conduct doesn't
attract unusual attention. No one suspects
that they are demented, or on the verge of
suicide. But the six days wheelman, who
is surrounded constantly by scenes which
should enliven and encourage him, and
during his ride receives every possible at
tention from his assistants, is pronounced
insane the moment he mods his head or
expresses a desire to rest.
Wheelmen who know what is meant by
training and bodily soundness have no fear
of the consequences Of a six days race.
Their minds are occupied chiefly in specu-
lating about the number Of miles that will
be scored, and whether the worlds cham
pionshlp will remain in America or be
captured again by a foreigner. Time will
decide this. Itmay be well to suggest now,
however, to persons who ~disapprove OF six
day contests that their ideas upon the sub
ject will never be corrected by perusing
sensational newspapers.
