Conger informs the department of
state that the emperor of China by i'm
perial degree has sanctioned the open
ing of national university at Pekin
in connection with schools which are
to be established in the provincial cap
itals. Another dispatch from Minister
Conger would indicate that the en-
peror of China has taken long strides
in advance in civilization by en-
couraging the newspapers Of
his empire to publish truthful and
full account of daily events, and to be
bold and fearless In the discussion of
current affairs He has by public
proclamation declared that articles
which appear in Chinese newspapers,
though apparently displeasing to him,
shall not on that account be sup.
pressed. An edict has been pub
lished extending the postal oper-
atoms throughout the empire and
replacing the present system Of
government couriers. The frequent
edicts introducing reforms and cutting
down expenditures prove that the en-
peror's advisers are bent upon policy
which can only be the result of COM

the emperor has decided to abolish
many abuses, and his efforts are wei.
