but the Empress Dowager is to have
1t whenever she thinks she WILL That
no document is to be sealed with the
Great Seal without the Emperor being
informed OF 1t is an advantage much
more nominal than real. The Empress
Dowager is to have entire control of
finance, but the Emperor has the ex-
elusive right of appointing and dismiss
ing the high officials of the palace.
So far the proposed arrangement is
not absolutely ridiculous The two fol-
lowing, however, are far more sugges-
tive OF comic opera than of serious poll
tics. The Emperor is to receive all
foreign representatives delivering Gre
dentials and deputations of homage, but
the Empress Dowager will continue to
direct public affairs. Moreover, the
Emperor will have the inestimable priv
ilege of having all documents and let
ters addressed to him exclusively, but
he shall hand them to the Empress
Dowager for decision.s Stripped of all
but such rags and tatters of royalty, it
might be thought that the young En-
peror might be very well content to
surrender the remainder without much
regret.-London Globe.
