as the successor of kuans Hsu. The
Empress is supposed to have been most
influenced by his advice, as he had more
ct stake than any other subject. BY an
In,ueriaI decree of the 2lst OF June pub

Chuang was appointed the official head
of the Boxer militia, who occupied his
palace and whose tents stood a. its en-
