pony show last evening as a compliment to

SHANGHAI.
4th October.

The well-informed correspondent of the
Mercury, now at rek,n, sends a dramatic ac-
count of the events which Immediately pre-
ced' d :he deposition of the young Emperor.
According to this version, which is believ-
ed to be perfectly correct, the Emperor had
decided to rid himself of he Dowager Elm
press III orde' to remove from his path the
most serious opponent to his newly-formed
programme of reform.
His Majesty took Into his implicit conf
donce one Yuan Shiskais. His Majesty had
raised this man. =" to speak, out of the gut
ter, and had promoted him from one high
place TO another, and, therefore, thought that
lie could trust TO his sense Of gratitude and
loyalty above all others around him.
To Yuan the Emperor gave written orders
10 proceed to T%ientsin, and return TO tue
capital with troops from that district. With
these troops Yuan was to surround the Elm
press Dowager's Palace, and remove her to
some place where her Majesty would be
unable 10 interfere " with the projected Te-
forms.
Yuan, however, proved to be an migrate and
traitor, for instead of carrying oui Ills lmre-
rial masters orders he showed them to the
Vicetoy vt Tientsin, who Immediately in
formed the Empress owSger.
Thus foIewarned, her Majesty was able to
deliver % counter-stroke with crushing rs-
pidity and effect. She summoned the Em-
perol to appear in her presence, and he, sus-
pecting nothing, readily oboyed. =.
Upon the Appearance Of the Emperor the
Empress accused him Of and npbrnided him
for criminal lack Of tIial riety and ingrati-
tude, and on his stnmering out some sort Of
denial, the enrARed Empress produced the
written orders to Yuan.
His Majesty stood creStfaIlen and ashamed,
ahd thereupon the Empress stern ly said that
there was only one way clear for him, point
ing to q cup, which the Emperor Immediately
seized and swallowed its contents at one
gulp.
The Mercury correspondent naturally sug-
gests that the cup contained poison, but he
declares that it is perfectly impossible to say
with confidence ifthe Emperor is dead or
alive.
Meantime all is reported to be quiet in

New York, 4th October.
Colonel Hay, Secretary of state, has re-
ceived a de-patch from Mr.. Day, Chairman
Of the Peace CommisIo non, %unclug that q
Joint meeting has been he'd, and an adjourn
ment taken till Friday.
The Government iufers from this that the
demands of the United States have been pre-
sented and a delay allowed for their considsra-
ton.
A telegram from Madrid, TO the effect TINT
the Spanish Cabinet is stupeied by Americas
claim to the whole of the Philippines, is re-
garded here as a ruse to obtain European
sympathy and European pressure to secure
a reduction Of the American demands.
The Spaniards have kno wn all along that
it was almost the universal sentiment in the
United States that control of the entire group
should he retained, and their srupefaction
now that the demand is formally made cannot
be of formidable proportions.
