Hits German Emperor's Cheek.

Berlin, March S.-While Emperor
William was driving from the Raths-
keller to the railway station at Bre-
men workman named Ditrich Wei
land threw piece OF iron into his
najesty's carriage. Weiland was i'm
mediately arrested. In the attack the
emperor was struck on the cheek
just below the right eye. There was
much bleeding, but the wound was
not a serious one. The assailant of
Emperor William in trying to escape
fell under the horses of the escort
riding behind the carriage. The mem
bers of the escort handed the man
over to the police. During an exam
nation at the town hall the assailant
or the emperor suffered from several
epileptic fits. During the intervals
between these attacks he replied to
several questions, but did not give
out any important information. Wei
land apparently pretends to know
nothing of the occurrence. He il evil

Chinese Opposed to Giving Up
the Tsung Lii Yamen.

Washington, April 1.-THE action of
the ministers at Pekin in accepting the
proposition of Mr. RockhiH for the es-
tablishment of a foreign board to take
the place of the Tsung Ii Yamen is in
line with what has been expected at
the state department, although the de-
tails of the plan are somewhat different
from those first contemplated. The
Tsung Lii Yamen has been curc 5erSorae,
very difficult for foreign officials to deal
with. chiefly because of its inability tc
take decisive action. The first plan was
to establish a Chinese minister OF fo,-
eign affairs in place of this old board.
so that foreign negotiations could be
carried on with one individual, he to be
a member of the priVy council with ac-
cess to the throne. But it appears that
this was not proven feasible as the
Chinese cling to the old idea of boards
instead of individual authority The re-
suit Of the new plan is to have a foreign
board with a prince of the blood at its
head and. with two members cf the prigy
council serving ex-officio. These three
will be able to do business much more
expeditiously than the large, cumber-
some Tsung Ii Yamen and beside each
will have access to the emperor IL order
to secure imperial sanction for such for
eign NEGOTIATIONS as may be brought Up.
While this plan is not considered as sat
isfactory as that at first contemplated,
yet it IS at least better than the cid
system. Mr.. RoclShil has not been heard
from as to the details Of the plan, but
the foregoing is along the line as the
authorities here understand the action
taken.
The last dispatch from RoekhilI was
some days ago and. referred to the punt
tive expedition about to start for Hua-
La, some distance northwest of Pekin
The frequency of these expeditions and
the state of unrest which they seem to
engender is a matter of no little concern
to the authorities here, although they
cannot under the circumstances, inter-
pose objections.
