ceremonies to take place when he and
his suite reach the German capital The
announcement is made. however. that
Chun and his Chinese suite must come
here before the Emperor leaves for Dant-
zic. if at all This is construed to mean
that the Kaiser Is angereC by the delay
of the apoIogists and that he win decline
20 receive them if they do not make
haste. Recent dispatches stated that
Prince Chun and those who accompanied
him objected to the form Of ceremonies
prescribed for them at Berlin, because
it would humfliatc them.

the foreign ministers at PeFin until the

thority that the representatives Of the
Powers now at Pekin are greatly dissat-
istied with the text Of the two hitherto
imprinted edicts from the Dowager En-
press.
