this, 1t is quite generally understood that
there will be no personal indignity to the
emperor and empress doWager, because
1t is felt that this Is any special con-
sfderation due Them but because China
should be precipitated into q chaotic CON
d1tlon If the responsible heads of tina
empire lost their functions. In view of
the general desire of this government and
the others concerned to keep China in
tact, and speedily restore quiet, the dis
position among officials Is reward refrain
Ing from any personal indigpities to tho
Chinese rulers. 1t develops In this con
neetion that all of the powers recently
rejected the proposition Of the consuls al
Tien Tsin to destroy the tombs of the
Ming dynasty.
The proposed destruction was a threat
held out to the Chinese IN the hope OF
bringing them to terms. But the power:
rejected the proposals and thus gave sig
ntf1cant evidence that anything calculated
to give personal affront or indignity t
the Chinese was not part of the present
campaign.

EMPEROR'S WHEREABOUTS IN
DOUBT.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-The Jap
anese legation today received several i'm
portant dispatches, giving the fullest In
formation Of events in Pekin. A tele-
gram dated at Toxic, Aug. 10, says
the allied troops, the Chinese troops, On
Aug. 10, betook themselves to and Ie-
manned in the imperial palace. A body

quartered in the villages outside Of All
Ting-Men."
A telegram dated the 10Th inst, re
ceived from the Japanese foreign office
gives the following dispatches from tn
| Acting Japanese consul general a
| Shanghai From Shen statements t.
me l am inclined to think there is trutl
| in the rumor that the empress dowage
at least, If not the emperor, too, has lef
| Pekin for Wutai-Hsin, in Shen 81 prov
| ince, via Taoting-Fu. For he told M
that some of the privy council crossed
the Lukon bridge on the 18th with ban
ners bearing inscriptions denoting thai
they formed a part Of the imperial escort
and that Lu-Chuan-Liu, governor o.
KiangSu, sent telegram on the l]tf
to the Southern viceroys and governors
directing them to forward all war funds
to Shen ST. But as an mperial decree
was issued on the 18th the departure, II
1t took place at ALL must have been sub
sequent to tht date.
"I have also learned from another re-
| liable source that Princes Ching, Yunl
| Lu and Kang-Yii are still in Pekin
though Prince Tdan has followed the
empress dowager."
A telegram dated the 10th from the
| Japan foreign office says: "The Jap
anese consul at Annoy telegraphs as fol
| lows Aug Is: Tt is reported from the
interior that at Ting Chou Flu and Luni
Yuen Chou, several Christian chapel!
were destroyed by mobs. The nati-Chris
tian movement appears to be spreading
| toward the district of Chang ChouFu
There don't, however, seem to be an!
| foreign missionaries in the interior"
Prince Ching referred to as still a
| Pekin, is the Chinese official most friend
| ly to the foreigners, while Prince Tuan
| who is said to have followed the empress
| dowager, IS at the head of the anti-for
| eign element. Yung Lu is probably II
| command Of the imperial forces.
