Ii HUNG CHANG cURTLY
DISMISSED FROM OFFICE
Told State Secrets to the Russian Minis
ter, With the Result That the
Emperor Deposed Him.

PEKIN, Sept. S-(Delayed in transmits
sion)-An imperial ediet. announcing that
the emperor has no further need of Ii
Hung Chang's services as minister OF
tsung II yamen (the foreign office), was
promulgated today. 1t is short, curt
dismissal, for which no reasons are
given.
Ii Hung Chang presumably remains in
office as grand secretary.
The news of Ii Hung Chang's dismissal
was not unexpected. The growing dis
trust OF the great Chinese statesman has
been observed for some time past among
his colleagues. 1t will be great blow to
Russia. which country Ii Hung Chang
has faithfully served for months past.
Whenever the tsung Ii yamen received the
British minister, Sir Claude Macdonald,
in audience, Ii Immediately visited the
Russian minister and reported the whole
proceedings to him. Latterly there have
been indications that Ii Hung Chang was
wholly in the service of Russia, and on
Saturday last, in the presence OF the
tsung Ii yamen, Sir Claude Macdonald
reproached Ii Hung Chang for his con-
duct. and his dismissal from the foreign
office was the immediate consequence.
1t Is expected that Russia will strenu-
ously endeavor to bring about the REIN
statement Of Ii Hung Chang. The cour-
age Of the latter gave him the leadership

BERLIN. Sept lO.-The news OF the I'M

Germany and Great Britain has caused
a sensation. A reporter for the Associ-

foreign officials, authorized by the gov

significant statement was made by an
official who has the full confidence OF the
minister of foreign affairs, Baron Won
Buelow. 1t was as follows;
"An understanding has been reached be-
