office of the Chinese Legation had
ceved no information concerning the re-
ported selection Of Il new Emperor, or of
the reply said to have been made by the
Chinese Cnyoys on the demands of the
Powers.
The State Department is also unin-
formed on the reported change of Em-
perorS, and in view OF the silence of the
ministers the report is received with con-
siderable skcoticiSm. The Chinese arc
unacquainted with the lineage of the
