New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1900-04-08

Tacoma, Wash, April 7-OrentaI advices state
that the audience Of foreign Ministers by the Chi
nese Emperor. the Empress Dowager and the Heir
Apparent OF March was disgraceful farce Ac-
cording TO a Picking dispatch. the Ministers were
shabbily treated end were made to understand that
they were not wanted The Emperor spoke only
one word. That was when he drew out of his
sleeve the reply TO the Ministers CONGRATULATIONS
and handed 1t to Prince Cheng. He appeared stoop-
ing and feeble. glancing furtivey along the line OF
visitors, as If sadly hoping to the face of some
friend.
His aunt. the Dowager Empress observed erery
movement through cautio lsly lifted curtains The
audience was over in ten minutes. when amid the
usual Celestial prayers. the Ambassadors and Min
listers were assisted to their chairs Several OF
those dignitaries knew too little of palace etiquette
TO refrain from turning their backs upon the EN-
peror. The Emperor looked exceedingly pale and
is believed to be slowly dying Of poison. Reports
say the coronation robes for the new Emperor
have been ordered, and that Kwang Hsu's coffin
has been sent for as Is customary when the En-
peror reaches the age of thirty years.
The Empress Dowager as received a beautiful
china vase from the Pope, through the Apostolic
Delegate In Peking. as an expression of gratitude
for the protection of Roman Catholic worship in
China.

the Colonies.
Many OF the movements for estab-
fishing closer relations between Great
Britain and her colonies that have
been started In London since the out
burst of the imperial spirit caused by
the war in South Africa. but about
the most interesting of them all. says
the San Francisco Call, is one for
promoting an emigration OF women
from the mother country to Canada,
Australia and South Africa.
Throughout the colonies there Is a
notable majority OF men over women,
while In Great Britain and especially
in London there are far more women
than men. Reformers who have plenty
Of time to take thought about the well
fare OF the world regard the existing
condition of things In that respect as
prejudicial to the old country and to
the colonies. to men and to women
They have therefore started a move
ment to bring about what they call
sex equilibrium" and are urging It
forward with good deal of enthu-
siasm and faith.
The British government has tried in
various ways to induce an emigration
OF women to the colonies. but has
failed. The girls prefer to be unmar-
ried in London rather than married in
Australia. South Africa or even Brit
ish Columbia. 1t is said there are up
ward of 500 900 manageable girls in
London who should go out and colo
nize, but VINO refuse to go. Thus there
exists within the empire the defect of
having too many men at the extremi-
ties and too many women at the cap
it'll
After profoundly considering the
problem the reformers have come to
the conclusion that the reason the girls
are not willing to accept government
assistance and go to the colonies is
because they have not been properly
introduced to the young men who live
out there. The British maiden has re-
spect for the conventionalities of So
ciety, and will not go 10000 miles to
marry a man to whom she has not
been introduced. Acting upon that be-
lief the reformers propose new plan
fer governmental action. Instead of Of
fering inducements for the girls to
emigrate they propose that the gov
eminent offer something like bounty
for young men in the colonies to go
TO London and meet the girls there.

The Missouri River Commission to
be Abolished as Involving
Needless Expense.


Washington, Dec. 23.-The river and
harbor bill asst will be reported from
the house committee soon after the
recovering of congress on the third
of January, will carry provision
abolishing the Missouri River COM
mission. The provision already has
been agreed upon, and only awaits
the formulation of the bill to find a
place in it. The decision to discon-
tinue the commission is said to have
been unanimous on the part of the
committee, and it is the result OF
statements made to the committee
by members of the house whose dis
tricts touch the Missouri on either
side. They generally expressed the
opinion that the navigation of the
stream is so limited as to render the
| commission useless.

London, Dec. est now appears
that the British foreign office has not
received direct notifica ton from Pc
kin that the joint note has been

it had received assurances from am

patches from Berlin and Paris an

Office declares it has every reason to
