CHINESE COURT N SHAN.S|
THEY WILL NOT GO BACK
The Imperial Court Refuses to Re-
turn to the Chinese Capitalists
Now On the Way to Shan-Si-Are
Restralned by Fear.

Washington, Oct 9.-The effort to
induce the Chinese imperial court to return
to Pekin has failed, after a weeks
persistent effort on the part of the powers.
News to that effect was brought to the
state department by the Chinese minister.
who received it via st. Petersburg from
Viceroys Liu-kun-Yih and Chang Chin
Tung, under date Of October 4. Minister
WI received the message last night. 1t
was as follows:
1.-The departure Of their imperial ma
iesties from Shan-si lproyince) was due to
distressing conditions at Tai Yuen-Fu.
There is scarcity Of food supplies in the
province Of Shansi on account Of the long
continued drouth, and the provincial cap
ital (rai-yuen) is almost deserted, the
trades people having left Oh account Of the
disturbances caused and continued for
months by the Boxer rebels, who had in.
vaded that province with the encourage
ment of Governor Yu. Their ma jesties,
therefore, were obliged to proceed to
Shansi, where telegraphic communica.
ton with Shanghai and other parts OF the
empire is open, and rapid communication
with their najesties may therefore be
carried on; thus court and official business
may be transacted more expeditiously by
their presence in Shan-si rather than Tai
Yuen-F Flu. The reasons for the temporary
pOstponement of their majesties' return to
iekin are the presence of the allied troops
| there, of which fear is doubtless entertain
ed, besides the dread Of the breaking out
| Of epidemic diseases, which usually follow
after great disturbances, destruction OF
property and military operations. 1t is
hoped the powers will be cOnsilerate in
their judgment in this natter
The important feature of. the message
is the confession that the court is re
strained by fear of the allied forces from
returning to Pekin. The movement takes
the emperor and empress dowager about
300 miles further away from Pekin,
though, according to the statements con.
tained in the message, by reason of the
direct Geographic communication with
Shanghai the court practically will be
nearer for purposes of negotiations with
the outside world than it was at Tai
Yuen.
Minister WI has been informed also
that Viceroy Yu of the province just va
Gated by the court has been impeached
because of his antiforeign tendencies,
which is the first step toward his degrade
ton.
1t is said there are no Boxers in the
newly chosen locality, so that the court
will have thrown off the hostile influences
recently surrounding it.
| Russians Abandon Railroad.
| The Russians are understood to have
practically abandoned the railroad and to
have stopped its reconstruction. General
Chaffee favors the return of the railroad
10 ITS owners and its reconstruction and
operation on joint international basis.
