Chinese Reformers Behsaded

Confirmation has been received at
Warrington of the execution on July
Goth Of Chang Yen Hoon, the former
Chinese minister to the United States.
Chang was a loyal adherent of the
emperor aud warm supporter of the
lstter'k reform movements When the
empress dowager supplanted the en-
peror two years ago he was ordered to
be beheaded. but through the inter-
vention OF the American and British
ministers his punishment was COM
muted to banishment in the distant
province Of Kashgaria. 1t now appears
that the empress dowager, taking ad-
vantage of the late reign of terror at
Pekin and knowing Chang's influence
with the emperor, ordered his execu-
tion by decapitation.
