ten of American life, but has confined
his labors to other fields, there Is con
siderable interest in his proposed un-
deItaking. The fact that he was n
general in the army and had some ex-
peIiences of which he often speaks
with much enthusiasm has led to the
belief that the new work will in some
way be connected with the civil war.

THE NEXT PROBLEM.
viii Insist that the Chinese Emperor
Come Down a Peg or Two.

WASHINGTON, April lT.-As soon
as the indemnity problem is solved by
the envoys at Pekin the next subject
OF controversy will be their demand
that hereafter diplomatic representa-
tives OF foreign countries shall have
the privilege of comforting directly
and personally with the emperor
There are two grounds for this de-
mand. One is that the emperor has
never been able to obtain a proper
and correct understanding of foreign
affairs and the relation of his govern
ment with other nations, because all
the information that reaches him is
sifted through half a dozen princes,
mandarins and eunuchs, who are them.
selves usually ignorant and obtuse,
and secondly. he must admit the rep.
resentatiyeS of his fellow suvercigns
to his presence on the same terms
as they are admitted by the rulers of
other countries. According to the
Chinese theory the emperor is .he
ruler of the universe and all other SOW
ereigns are his vassals. He is the
lord of all, and Theoretically admits
the representatives of foreign DOW.
ers to his presence only in order that
they may have the opportunity of
worshipping him and paying him trib-
ute like the viceroys of his own en-
pire and the princes of Thibet. Mon
golia, Turkestan and other suzerain-
ties.
Until few years ago the repre-
sentativeS of European powers were
not received by the emperor because
they refused to make the kowtow.
which means to PROSTATE themselves
on their hands and knees and strike
their foreheads nine times upon the
floor. OF course they absolutely re-
fused to do this and the emperor was
stubborn in insisting upon it. When
his own ministers are admitted to
his presence they perform this cere-
mony and retain the posture of humil-
ity with their foreheads upon the
floor until he invites them to raise
their heads, but they never rise from
their knees in his presence and al.
ways leave and approach him crawl
ing like reptiles. Even the aged Ii
iihhS NhdHS iS, dS lHe late Prlnce
lung, the emperor's uncle, was re.
quiled to make this obeisance
In the controversy over the admis-
sion OF foreigners to the imperial pres
ence a compromise was reached under
which his majesty received all mem
bers OF the diplomatic corps In a body
IN the tribute chamber. They bow to
him but do not kneei. and stand in
about the throne while the
dean of the corps steps forward and
reads an address and the emperor re-
turns his reply. This has been the
annual custom since 1876. but now the
foreign ENJOYS demand the right to
approach the emperor individually at
any time they may have communica.
tons to convey from their sovereigns.
1t Is expected that the Chinese will
make a vigorous resistance to the
proposition to grant foreign devils the
privileges that are not enjoyed by the
emperor's own family and his very
closest advisers, but in this as In ev-
erything else old ancient conservative
ism Will be compelled to Weld.
