AN EFFORT
THAT FAILED
The Chinese Imperial Court De-
clines for the Present to
Return to Pekin.
HAS DEPARTED FOR SHEN 81 PROVINCE.
Restrained From Returning to Pc
kin by Fear of the Allied Forces
and the Dread of the Outbreak of
Epidemics Which Usually Follow
Great Disturbances.

Washington, Oct. S.-Ihe EFFORT To
induce the Chinese imperial court to
return to Pekin has failed, after
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 Wa
received the message Sunday night. 1t
was as follows:
Text of the Message.
",The departure of their imperial
majesties for Shen 81 (province) was
due to distressing conditions at Tai
Yuen Flu. There is scarcity of food
supplies in the province of Shan 81
on account of long-continued
drought and the provincial capital
(Tai Yuen) is almost deserted, the
trades people having left on account
OF the disturbances caused and con-
tinued for months by the Boxers
rebels, who had invaded that province
with the encouragement of Gov. Yu.
Their maiesties, therefore, were
obliged to proceed to Shen 81, where
telegraphis communication with
Shanghai and other parts of the en-
pire is opened, and rapid communica-
ton with their majesties may, there
fore, be carried on and thus court and
official business may be transacted
more expeditiously by their presence
in Shen 81 rather than in Shan 81.
The Imperial Reasons.
The reasons for the temporary
postponement of sleir majesties re-
turn to PelIin are the presence of the
allied forces there, on account of
which solicitous fear is doubtless en-
tertained, besides a dread of the out
break of epidemic diseases, which
usually follow after great disturb.
ances, destruction of property and
military operations. 1t is hoped the
powers will be considerable in their
Judgment in this matter"
An Important Feature.
The important feature of the mes
SAGE is the confession that the court
is restrained by fear of the allieC
forces from returning to Pekin. Tn,
movement takes the emperor and EN-
press dowager about 300 miles further
away from Pel<in, though, according
TO the statements contained in tn,
message, by reason of direct tele
graphic communication with Shang
hal, the court practically will b,
nearer for purposes of negotiation
with the outside world than It wa
at Tai iuen. Minister WI has beef
