Washington, May 1.-THE special dis
patches from Madrid indicate that the
question of the future government of
the country is beginning to be dis
cussed as If the figures of the queen
regent and King Alphonso had already
disappeared from the stage of Spanish
politics. General Weyler is dubbed
the Spanish Boulanger," and in some
quarters military dictatorship in his
hands is regarded as probable. But
the wider opinion is that he will not
succeed any better than Boulanger did.
The continental press notices a
broadening political ambition of the
United States, coupled with the in
creasing friendship between Great
Britain and the United States. Inter-
vention rumors are again in the air.
None of the powers like the idea Of the
United States becoming a nea neigh
Dor of Japan, and the fea of further
American victories Is likely to give
cohesion In which the powers hitherto
ave been sadly lacking.

Thsi, with the assistance of Prince Kung, arranged a plan whereby the board of regency was overthrown and the members executed. Then the dominant spirit of the mature woman, no longer the poor slave girl, asserted itself. With her 7-year-old son she ascended the throne, claiming for him the title Tung Che, Ruler of the e. lestial Kingdom. At once she assumed full charge of the affairs of state.
 With her newly acquired powers she did notforget her lowly parents. Emissaries were dispatched to find them, but they had died. Her brother, Ko Jon, was found working for a farmer and earning $9 a year. He was installed in the imperial palace and given $125,OOO a year for spend- ing money. He immediately became an im- beetle.
 The crowning glory in the life of the slave girl who had risen to the position of Empress came in 1873 when her son as- cended the throne and became in truth the emperor of the kingdom. But her joy was turned to grief two years later, when the young emperor died. The next of kin was Kwang. Suey, the son of Prince Kung and a nephew of the Emperor Hein Flung But all China knew that he was under the advice and counsel of Tsi Thsi and his father, and now the empress dowager has once more stepped into the arena, and at the age of GA has again taken the reins of active government into her own hands,

Tzun with his good wife and his two chill dren, Yin Ling, beautiful child of IA, and Ko Jon, her 7-year-old brother. There they lived on one bowl of rice day. until even that gave out. Nothing was left for them to do but to starve like rats in hole.
 But before doing this u Tzun made a trip to Canton in last despairing hope of securing assistance It was indeed a des- pairing hope When he returned to the miserable place he called home his hands were empty and his heart was sad There was no help to be had. His friends were worse off than he They were selling their daughters into slavery.
 Yin Ling did not sleep that night. She was thinking-thinking harder than she had ever done before. In the morning she said: My father, have thought all night long of what you told us. Pray sell me. We have no food We must die. Its bet ter that I should be sold. For me you could get much money, and when the wars are over you may be able to buy me back"
 The father and mother were speeches. with horror and wept all day. But, night came again, and again there was no rice. Little Ko Jon was moaning with pain. In the QeaQ or nlgnt the Idtner Stolc away hhS a thief and little Yin Ling went with him. Her mother never saw her again. Arriving in Canton Ii Tzun, clasping his daughter by the hand, knocked for admittance at the gate of the finest house in that part of the city. The head of the great house was the Tartar Tidoo general, who com manded the troops of the province, and who was uslated to the Emperor Hein Flung. The general was greatly pleased with the girl, and noted with pleasure that her feet were not bound. The Tartans do not recognize this custom. So Yin Ling was sold, and became an inmate of the gen. erals household, being appointed sewing maid to the wife of Tidoo Both Tidoo and his wife became greatly attached to
