PRINCE TUAN's PUNISHMENT.
More Severe Than II Was at FRS
Supposed To Be.


Washington, Oct. 3.-The Chinese
minister has delivered to the state de-
partment official confirmation of the
degradation of Prince Tuan and many
other Chinese leaders. The following
is the official statement made:
"a cablegram was received from
Director General Sheng at Shanghai
Tassi and Tsai Wing are deprived of
all their respective rank and Of
fees, Prince Tuan deprived of
Office and handed over to the
imperial clan court, which will
decide upon a severe penalty, his
salary to be stopped; Duke Tsai Ian,
president of the censurate at Wing
Men, president of the civil board at
Kang Yai, and the president of the
board of punishment at Chao Shu
Chiao are to be handed over to the
board of censors, who will decide
upon the penalty"
Minister Wu's information appears
to put at rest all questions as to the
fall of the reactionary element head
ed by Prince Tuan and including the
| president of the censurate and board
of punishments. 1t is shown, however,
| that the punishment of Prince Tuan
was more severe Il an heretofore re-
| ported, as he is removed from office,
a fact not stated in previous dis
| patches. The clan court is directed
also to decide upon the "severeness
of the penalty" in addition to the
| loss of Office, salary and servants.

NEWS I'm GENERAL
WILL SEAT THE EMPEROR.
Powers Agree That Kwang Hsu Must
he Restored In Power

ABN1O Ah6L AwAnB hbu uAubt
BE Restored to Power.
Washington, Oct. 8.--Restorat lion
1T the Emperor Kwang Hsu to
power at Pekin and deposition of
the empress dowager from all au-
thority over the government of China
is the tacit though not ayowed policy
of the powers.
Up to this time the various govern
ments interested in the Chinese prob
lem have carefully avoided express
sions of opinion as to the fate of the
empress. They have neither threaten
ed her wita punishment nor promis-
ed her protection. Such inquiries as
have been made on this score by the
Chinese eByoys in Europe and this
country have been evaded.
But there is a tacit agreement
among the powers as to their policy,
and this policy is TO geg the emperor
out from under the clutches Of the
empress, restore him to power, up
hold him with foreign bayonets and
guns till he can stand alone, induce
him to issue an edict deposing the en-
press, surround him with able and
progressive advisers, both Chinese and
foreign, and through this agency
place the empire on the path of peace
and progress.
1t is as yet impossible to say how
good are the chances of success with
this most promising and comprehen-
sive plan. The greatest difficulty is
anticipated in securing possession of
the person of the emperor. He is
virtually prisoner in the hands of
the empress, and she is apparently
DISPOSED to hold tight to him as n
valuable asset in her business.
But the powers have the co-opera-
ton of some of the ablest men in
China, and through them an effort
is being mace to set up plan which
will bring Kwang Hsu to Picking
without the empress.

Maryland has lately passed a law
forbidding the sale of spectacles with
out a license. Both the near-sighted
and the far-seeing may call this a
form of paternalism. The motherly
side of the question is taken by the
London Spectacle Mission. This soci-
ETY. provides free glasses for the poor
who suffer from defective sight. BY
means Of the spectacles given out last
year, over one thousand working men
and women were enabled to retain en-
ployment which they might have lost.
To assist the poor to resist pauperism
is the truest function of philanthropy.

the Chinese Trouble Be Made.
Berlin, Oct. 5.-Germany has is
sued second note to the powers re-
garding the method of securing pun
ishment of those guilty of outrages
in China. 1t is as follows:
'"rhe emperor of China has adj
dressed to the powers an edict dated
September rs, in which he orders the
punishment of number of princes
and dignitaries, mentioned by name,
for having encouraged the Boxers.
On the assumption that the edict
is genuine the German government
in u further statement, announces
the procedure proposed to the pow
ers to come to an agreement to in
struct their diplomatic representa-
tives in China to examine and give
their opinion on the following points:
Whether the list contained in the
edict of persons to be punished is
sufficiently correct; whether the pun
ishment proposed meets the case; in
what way the powers can control
the CARRYING out of the penalties inn
posed""
The information that has been
received to the present concerning
this proposal by the powers justifies
the belief that general understands
ing on the matter may be looked for.
