deprived of all their respective ranks and
Offices; that Prince Tuan is deprived of
office and is handed over to the Imperial
clan court, which shall consult and de-
eide upon a severe penalty, and his SAL
airy Is to be stopped; that Duke Tsai-lan
and the president of the Censorate, Wing
Men, are handed over to the said board,
who shall consult and decide upon a Sc

ant Grand Secretary and president of the
Civil Board, and Cho-shu-chiao presi-

Minister Wu's information appears to
put at rest all question as to the fall of
tho reactionary element, headed by
Prince Tuan, and including the presidents
of the Censorate and of the Board Of
Punishments. 1t shows. moreover, that
the punishment of Tuan is more severe
than heretofore reported, as he ~ remov-
ed from office-a fact not stated in the
previous dispatches. The clan court is
| directed also to decide upon severe
penalty in addition to the loss of office,
ea1ary and servants.
The State Department received a dis
patch from Minister Conger today an
ncuncing the departure of the Russian
| Legation from Picking. Beyond this
there was little additional bearing on the
Chinese situation. 1t was stated official
| ly that the reported French note to the
powers regarded the opening of negotia-
tons and permanent disarmament of the
Chinese had been received. If 1t proves
true that note has been sent, 1t Is said
| that the proposition for disarmament car
hardly be considered with favor by this
| government, owing to the commercial
standing and recognized sovereign au
| thority of China as a nation.
Thus far there has been no protest or
| tho ~ nf fhtc G0uorp
appointment of Yung Lu as one of thu
Chinese peace commissioners. The Stat
Department Is inclined now to think tina.
he Is not as culpable as the first reports
indicated, but the authority of Ministe
Conger and Mr. Rockhill Is such that /
they learn he is an undesirable negotia
tor. they will be enabled to protest, al
though they have not acted so far upol
that point. 1t is thought probable tina
the matter will come to an issue whe
the sufficiency of credentials is examin
! ed.
