THE CHINESE REFORNER
Kang- Yu-Wei Reoounts the His
tory of the Crisis.
HIS ADVICE TO THE EMPEROR,

Urged Him to Employ Englishmeu
and Americans to Effect Suggested
Reforms The Emperor Admitted
That "Forelgn Counties Were No
Longer insignificant states"
London, Oct. The Hong Kong cor
respondent of The Times telegraphs the
substance of long interview he has
had with kang- Yu-Wei, the Cantonese
reforrner, In which the latter recounted
the history of the crisis. KangYuWei
said that on June 16 he had a two
hours audience of the emperor, who,
anxious about the Russian encrOach-
ments, was ready to listen to any plan
to secure the integrity of the empire.
The Times correspondent. continues:
Kang advised replacing the conserva-
tive ministers by young progressives
and the employment of Englishmen
and Americans to effect suggested re-
forms. He advised the emperor to
study the progress of Japan and west
ern methods. The emperor admitted
the cogency of his arguments but ex-
pressed his regret at being unable to
remove high officials because of the
empress dowager.
Kang then urged his majesty to
strengthen his friendship with foreign
powers, in particular to secure an al
lance with England. The emperor said
he realized that foreign countries were
no longer insignificant states, and OBJ
served that it was a pity that his min
listers had not averted the impending
troubles. Kang says the real power at
Pekin is held by Li-Luen-Yan, a sham
eunuch, and that the dowagers IL
legitimate son, Chung Ming, will prob
ably be made emperor.
on the morning of Sept. IS Kang re-
ceived two letters from the emperor,
dated respectively Sept. 16 and II. The
first represented the difficulties of his
position, the empress dowager's anger,
and his fears that he would be unable
to protect his throne, and commanded
Kang to consult with his colleagues as
| to how to save the emperor In the
second letter his majesty said:
81 have commanded you to superin-
tend the establishment of an official
organ. 1t is strongly against my wish.
1 have great sorrow, which 1 cannot
describe with ink and pen. You must
proceed Immediately outside to devise
means to save me without a moments 6
delay"
The letter concluded with an express
sion of gratitude for Hangs faithful
ness, a warning to him to take care of
himself, and an expression of hope
that matters would mend ere long.
Kang promptly visited the American
missionary, Timothy Richard, whom
he asked to call upon the British and
American legations. Sir Claude Mac
! Donald British minister) was at Pei
Tai-So and the American minister (Mr
Conger) was at SiShan. Ominous
rumors were in circulation that day
and Kang fled. He was astonished that
England protected him, and he urges
the British government to take prompt
| action to save the emperor."

THE CHINESE REGENCY.
The Dowager Empress Receives the
Cabinet on cinls Daily.


London, Oct. THE Pekin corre-
spondent of The Times, telegraphing
on Tuesday, says: The restoration of
the regency is complete. The empress
dowager receives the cabinet daily,
seated behind the emperor openly,
and not, as formerly, behind a screen.
The government is more retrograde
and reactionary. Yung Lu, one of
his trusted friends, succeeds the
late Prince Kung as the chief
Manchu, while the Viceroy of the prov
ince of Chi lie is a MaChu. Nevertheless,
despite assertions to the contrary the
balance of power between the Chinese
and Manchus in high office is unaltered
in the central government, though there
Is small proportional increase of Man
chus in provincial posts.
The tsung Ii yamen contains no
member cognizant of foreign affairs. Its
chief working member is Hsu Yung
vi, the negotiator of the Gerard con-
vention of 1895, who was subsequently
removed from the tsung Ii yamen at the
instance of Sir Nicholas O'Connor (then
British minister to China) for breach of
faith but who was reappointed last
month. He says his chief colleague
will be Hsu Ching Chong, former min
lister to Russia and now director of the
Transmanchurian railway, who long re-
ceiVedsiussian financial assistance. The
Russians welcome the change as in
creasing their influence.
The immediate existing cause of the
change was the impending edict order
ing officials to abolish the queue and to
adopt foreign dress. A search of the
house of Kang Yu Wei, the reformer,
resulted in the discovery of papers
proving that he was carrying on a cor
respondence with the leaders of the an
ti-dynastic movement in southern
China.
The tsung Ii yamen, having unavail-
ingly entreated the foreign legations
to spare China the humiliation of bring
ing foreign escorts to the capital,
agreed to the demand of the powers
for special train to bring the escort
from Tien Tsin.
