London June T. rhe Shanghai
correspondent Of the Daily Express
says "Weng Tung Ho. emperor
Kwong Hsus tutor and conhdant, who
vas dismissed by the dowager em-
press after the coup d'etat in 1898,
sends with the special sanction of the
emperor message 10 the people of
the west in part, Il is as follows:
His majesty is convinced that the
loyal support OF many scores of mill
lions of Chinese Will be accorded to
hls proposals for putting an end to
the state Of anarchy brought about by
the action OF the empress Hsi Tsi. The
government of China is being virtually
non-eXistent. The emperor proposes
that the foreign powers whose troops
dominate the capitol shall remove his
imperial person from the palace In
oner, shall declare the empress Hsi
Isl and her present ministers usurp-
erS and shall bring the emperor
Kwang Hsu to Marking Wa Chang, or
Shanghai, whichever the foreign pow
ers deem to be most suitable for a new
capital of the Chinese empire under
the new conditions 1t is proposed by
his majesty and his advisors that the
foreign powers shall declare Joint
protectorate, and undertake the task Of
governing the country through his
majesty.
The message suggests thar the pro
tectorate should abolish certain boards
in pekn, appoint new ministers, abol-
ish the existing so-called armies, estab-
lish a gendarmerle under foreign off
GERS, take control of the customs, posts,
telegraphs and work tAem through
Chinese officials, establish a uniform
currency, readjust taxation and insure
freedom OF religion Wen Tung Ho
VINO predicts a peaceful acceptance OF
such regime goes on to say. China is
ripe for the change which reactlouaries
vainly seek to stem If 1t should so
be. on the other hard, that the foreign
powers seriously contemplate the dis
membership Of Chinese empire they
have before them huge task
OF facing the dense millions,
who although lacking in train
ing and who make but con
temptible soldiers, possess boundIess
powers Of passive resistance, and
would be able 10 wear out the patience
Of any European rulers seeking to
govern them without regard 10 the
preiudices of the oldest civilization.
The conquest and division Of China
would be possible with 100000 troops,
but to retain government would re-
quire a million soldiers and centuries
Of work The task would end with the
most unhappy results for both con
quered and conquerors.
His majesty and mis- advisers beg
American and Japan to pause before
resorting to ACKNOWLEDGMENT, which
can be deferred at least until tue en-
perors efforts TO govern his people and
restore the happiness Of this great
division Of the human race have
proved abQrtive IF the people are as
sured the powers guiding and protect

low the country piecemeal they will
