fion, Lady Macdonald being doyenne.
Each lady was in a sedan chair. having
five chair bearers and two mounted
maffoos. From the British legation we
started at II o'clock for the Forbidden
City to see the empress dowager. Can
you see the picture-seven chairs with
five bearers and two maffoos each. and
from so to GO mounted Chinese escorts
sent by the yamen? -
when we reached the gate of the
Forbidden City, we had to leave our
chairs. bearers, maffoos, escorts all.
Inside the gate were seven red uphol-
stored chairs in line, with six bearers
each and many escorts on foot. We
were taken to another gate. where. in
side, we found a fine railroad coach,
given by France. We entered this fine
car, and many eunuchs, dressed in
black, pushed and hauled US to another
stopping place, where we were receiv-
ed by many officials. offered tea, etc.
This railroad passed through beauti-
full city, clean and imperial. After tea
serving we were escorted to the palace.
Our heavy garments were taken. and
we were ushered into the presence Of
the emperor and empress dowager.
We stood according to rank and bowed.
Our first interpreter presented each
lady to Prince Ching. and he, in turn,
presented US to the empress dowager.
Then Lady Macdonald read a little
speech in behalf of the ladies. The
empress dowager responded through
Prince Ching; another bow on our
part; then each lady was escorted to
the throne. where she bowed and couF-
tested to the emperor, who reached out
his hand to each; then a bow and q
courtesy to the empress dowager. She
reached out both hands, and we stepped
forward to her. She took both of ours,
then placed upon the finger Of each
lady a beautiful heavy chased gold
Chinese ring. set with large, fine pearl.
After thanking her we backed from
the throne and took our places below,
as before. From here we were escort
ed by many. many richly dressed,
highly painted. decorated young Chi
nese women and the Chinese officials
to the banquet hall, where a large
table was filled to overfowing with
Chinese and European food. Prince
Ching, Princess Ching and five other
princesses sat at the table with US.
The empress dowager and Princess
Ching were dressed in most exquisite
ly embroidered rich satins and silks,
with large pearl decorations.
They were not painted and their
hair was not extended to the extreme.
The young princesses were beautifully
and carefully dressed in rich, fine. en-
broidered satins in bright colors. They
had painted faces. hair extended and
elaborately ornamented and had long,
gold finger protectors. They were pic
lures. The empress dowager and all
of her court have large feet. They are
Manchurians. The binding of feet is
losing its popularity among the high
est classes. Everywhere with Us were
Chinese interpreters. who spoke Eng
lish and French well.
After this meal we were invited into
other rooms and offered cigarettes and
tea. The table was cleared away and
we were invited into the hall again.
There sat the empress dowager, and
we gathered about her as before She
seemed bright and happy. Her face
was aglow with good will. There was

DIR. Charles Tanner, nationalist
member for the middle division of
Cork. has been suspended; and al
though in this instance the sus-
pension was only for ore night, 1t
was accompanied by scenes that
would have done credit to the

After opposing vote in supply,
Doctor Tanner was appointed a

the chairman announced that DR..
Tanner had grossly insulted him
on account of the appointment,
and that, in consequence. he would
suspend him for the remainder of
the sitting.
Gesticulating wildly, DR.. Tanner
defied the chairman, the house and
the whole English nation. Amid
a deafening uproar he declared
that the chairman was merely one
of the premier's minions," and
then he exclaimed:
Il defy the whole lot of you! l

Then, while staid members rose
in their seats and tried to drown
