NEWS in GENERAL
WILL SEAT THE EMPEROR.
towers Agree That Kwang Hsu Must
BE Restored IN Power

Be Restored to Power.
Washington, Oct. s.-Restoration
81 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 avowed 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 VITA punishment nor promis-
ed her protection. Such inquiries as
Chinese ENJOYS in Europe and this
country have been evaded.
But there is a tacit agreement
among the powers us 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 isst,e 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.
IL 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 a
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.

HAY WINS GREAT VICTORY
Settlement of Chinese rlatter on
His Lines Likely.

Washington, Oct. Favorable
news has reached Washington from
the European chancellories indicating
that a complete agreement as to China
is within sight. The agreement will
be on the basis of the propositions
laid down by Secretary Hay in his
note of July and the subsequent
notes treating of that subject. The
accord of Russia with the United
States is more complete than was an
ticipated at first and the reports show
that all of the European nations prob
ably are placing themselves in posi-
ton to take advantage of the opening
made by the United States and soon
will be ready to begin negotiations
for settlement with the Chinese gov
eminent. The Russians already have
given notice of such purpose and while
the text of the French note on this
subject has not reached the state de-
partment, the officials are satisfied
that this is correctly reported and
that France, like Russia, is ready to
negotiate at once.
AS for Germany, either the position
of that government has been misun-
derstood or it has sustained change
of mind. Possibly the former is the
case, but, however that may be, it is
quite certain from the advices which
| have reached Washington today that
the German government, upon care
full inspection of the plans for set
Element projected by the United
States, finds therein nothing inconsist-
emit with the German asDirations
Therefore, it may be expected that
Germany. too, will be prepared soon
to join in this common movement
toward settlement. 1t may be stat
ed that altogether the prospects of an
adjustment of the Chinese difficulty
without resort to formal war are very
much brighter than they were one
week ego.

GERMANS SECOND NOTE.
1t Suggests That Further Inquiry Into
the Chinese Trouble Re Made.

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:
The emperor of China has adj
dressed. to the powers an edict dated
September 25, in which he orders the
punishment of "a 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 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 iustifies
the belief that n general understand
ing on the matter may be looked for.

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

ployment which they might have lost.
