Cry of the Emperor.
SHANGHAI. June 1l.-Koang Su, EN-
peror of China. has appealed TO the Pow
ers of the world to rid him of the domi-
nation of his aunt, the Dowager Empress
Tsi-Hsi. He's trying to overthrow her.
This appeal he makes TO America
through the New York Journal and San
Francisco Examiner, and to Europe
through the London Daily Express. His
mouthpiece in the matter is Weng Tung
Ho, former President of the Han Ling,
or national academy in Picking, by whom
your correspondent Is requested to con-
vey to the people of Great Britain and
America the scheme which His Imperial
Majesty has devised for extricating his
country from its present perilous state of
anarchy.
Weng TunE Ho was for many years the
Emperor's tutor his confidant, his daily
associate. He was dismissed by the Dow
ager Empress after the famous coup
d'etat of 1898, but he has been in constant
communication with the Empress ever
since.
1t Is with the express sanction of the
Emperor and his party, which includes
three ruling Viceroys (whose names your
correspondent is In possession of, but will
not make public at present, as 1t might
lead to their beheading), that this impor-

Emperor Koang Su's Appeal.
His Majesty is convinced through
amply trustworthy sources that the loyal
support of many scores of millions of
Chinese will be accorded to the proposals
which he has approved for putting an end
to the state OF anarchy which has been
brought about In his beloved empire by
the action of the Empress Tsi-Hsi The
Empress has brought about a division OF
China among rival nations, in the vari-
GUS portions allotted to which nations d.
vers interests prevail. and divers laws and
customs have been imposed without re- |
gard to the desires OF the population. So
enormously do the people uutnumber the
forces of their rulers that the imposition
of unwelcome laws and customs may at
any time lead to endless bloodshed and
confusion. and eventually 90 universal |
war.
The Government of China being vir-
tually non-existent. the Emperor pro-
poses that foreign Emperors, whose
troops dominate the capital, shall re-
move his imperial person from the pal
ace in which His Majesty is confined as

most suitable situation for the new capt.
