Lu Have Died of "Iliness," ana
that Has Comnattted SUI
icide with Gold Leaf.

Washington. Oct. 27.-The Chinese
minister has received a dispatch stat
ing that Kang-Yi, a member OF the
cabinet, with tun-Lu, n one OF tue
intense anti-foreign leaders, whose
punishment was demanded ny the
powers. died of illness on the 1Stn
inst; 3lso that Yu-Hsien, the late
governor of Shansi, who is said to
Fave been responsible for the death or
naopy Missionaries, has committed
suicide by swallowing gold leaf. din
lister Wa regards this act as the re-
salt of the disfavor which the high
officials have received from the
throne.
Is an Important Event.
The death of Kang-Yi is an impor-
that event, as he was one of the ring
leaders whose punishment was de-
manded by the powers He held the
position of assistant grand secretary
and president of the civil board, and
also was one of the six Chinese
statesmen making up the privy coun-
Gil, or cabinet, which is the body ear
est the throne. Following the de-
mands of the powers for his punish
.ment, an edict was issued handing him
over to the board of censors to con
suit and decide upon a penalty for
his ~misdoings.
Punishment of Prince Tuan.
The same edict ordered the punish
ment of Prince Tuan, but it was
thought that the Tuan influence
would secure ~leniency for Kang-Yi
and for others. The dispatch shows,
however, that Kang-Yi himself recog-
nized that there was no hope of i'm
perial favor. Although the dispatch
to Minister WI says only hat kanS
vi "died' on the 18th inst, it is
thought that his death" was the
natural result of the disgrace which
has overtaken the a~nti-foreign and
Boxer element.
An A~ristocratic tho
Governor Yu's method of suicide,
by swallowing gold leaf, is peculiar to
China. 1t is a means by which high
personages take their life, the gold
leaf being representative of their
high station. The leaf forms a ball
in the canals of the body and brings
death from s~uffocation.
May Follow Kang-Yi.
Minister Wu's advices also show
that Prince Tuan has been visited
with severe censure from h throne.
and to such an extent that it would
be no surprise if he followed the
course of Kang-Yi and Yu. He has
been prevented from accompanying
the imperial court to Siang-Fu, and
remains at Shansi, cut off from fur
Their influence of the throne.
Worse That De~capitation.
It is expected that he will be ban
ished, which to a prince is worse than
decapitation, and under the Chinese
idea of propriety, suicide is likely to
be his end. Minister WI laid his dis
patches before Secretary Hay.
