Foreign Ministers Insulted.


Others felt the same dread but dared not
speak. The young emperor's interest in
foreign peoples and ways was stilled and
thwarted, and the most impossible ideas Of
foreigners were conveyed to him The for
cign ENJOYS. who had to wait through an
other long minority before having audience
with the sovereign to whom they were ac-
credited had to insist strenuously before
that small courtesy was granted. Tung-
chih'S famous audience of 1873, the first oc-
casion upon which any foreigner in this
century had gazed upon the dragon coun-
tenaHce. was held in the pavilion of Purple
Light in the detached western garden with
the deliberate intention of belittling the for
eign representatives in the Chinese eyes-a
coarse sort of practical joke The same
insult was repeated to the supine ENJOYS
by kwangsu in 1891. when the ministers
again waited in cold tent al daylight and
when ushered into the pavilion of Purple
Light found the emperor seated cross-legged
like Turk on a broad arm chair with a low
table before him. They themselves were
not allowed to lay their addresses on that
table before the noddng automaton but
handed them to an officer. who did II for
them After this second ceremony the dip
lomats weighing and approaching the
meaning of each incident. and being very
wroth, vowed, one anG all, never to put
themselves in such position in such a hall
of humiliation again.
The Chinese and the Manchus alike
have a genius for hypnotizing diplomatic
folk unused to Asiatic character that such
audiences might have continued to tickle
the Chinese sense of the humorous Tor
many years but for the surprises of the
disasters dulled the of humor In
court circles; suppressed the dowager
empress for a season, and left her under a
cloud of humiliation and unpopularity.

Electric Traction on Canals.

According to Consul General Guenther,
some interesting experiments in boat trac-
ton by means of electric locomotives were
recently made on behalf of the Prussian
of Berlin. The scene of the operations was
a short length of the Finow canal. which
forms a portion of the waterway between
Berlin and Stettin, and Is traversed every
year by about 25.O0O to 5000 boats each
way. The craft used are In the main
barges. some 132 feet long by Is feet q
inches BEAM carrying $50 TO 115 TONS Mr..
Guenther says that the experiments, which
were merely preliminary ones, intended to
test the possibilities of electric traction for
large barges. showed the system tested to
be capable of meeting all needs. working,
as 1t did. with safety and economy.

Imperial Match Nal ing.

When kwangsu had attained the age of
sixteen. his stepnother and aunt, the en-
press regent. threw herself with ardor into
matchmaking or wife-choosng for sec
ond time. The august Tsze Hsi An attend
ed to the marrying of her nephew as zeal
ously she had married her own son sew
enteen years before, the poor little bride
and bridegroom being equally pawns and
puppets in her hands. She summoned all
the daughters OF noble Manchu families as
before, but many evaded the summons. The
examination and wedding out of candidates
went on for nearly two years. narrowing
down from 300 original entries to thirty
picked beauties, then to ten precious pearls
and last To the one Yehonala, queen rose in
the Manchu garden of roses, and daughter
OF the empress regents own brother;
whereby the invinciblc dowager showed her
skill again and kept imperial affairs in the
family. despite kwangsu's preference for
another.
The unsuccessful candidates at the first
matrimonial examination. the hundreds of
rejected asprants for the throne, are al
ways consoled by rolls of silk and splendid
gifts; and then the two inferior wives of
the first rank, the twsnty-ssven Of the
