DOwager Empress Acted After
Learning the Emperor Had APP
peared in European Garments.
PEKIN, Sept. 81 (via Shanghai, Sept.
29).-The developments Of palace af-
fairs confirm the belief that the en-
peror, by the radical reforms which ne
had decreed, prepared himself for the
blow struck by the dowager empress.
The successive edicts furnish a history
Of the trend Of affairs. The emperor's
chief adviser, Kang Yuwei, obtained
UnbOunded influence over him, and in
spired the reforms. The official classes
opposed him and consulted the dowage,
empress as to means for multiplying
these reforms. The current story Us
that the immediate cause Of the en-
peror's downfall was that he appeared
one day in European clothes. This Of
fense, 1t appears, was aggravated by
the arrival in China of the Marquis Ito,
the Japanese statesman, which alarm
ed the palace officials as foreshadowing
Japanese influences in the empires
councils. Thereupon the dowager en-
