KwANG-sU's PLANS.
China's Emperor Determined, Ii Is
Said, to Institute Reforms.

Chfnn's Emperor Determined, 1t Is
Said, TO Institute Reforms.
Victoria, B. c., April 3.-Advices
from China say that the emperor is
still at Haiao, but that as soon as the
allied forces evacuate Peking the court
will return and begin to institute re-
forms. The emperor Is said to be in
full power and intends to install ad-
vanced Chinese in office when he re-
turns.
Signs of unrest continue to be appar-
ent in north China. Raids are report
ed from the neighborhood Of Paoting.
and the Chinese authorities seem
| powerless to prevent them. Field Mar
shall Won Waldersee has issued orders
to the garrison Of the allies at Paoting
to assume the offensive and similar
orders are to be sent to the garrison
at Tien-tsin.
A collision between Germans and
Chinese, the latter numbering 400. tool,
place near Paoting, and 80 Chinese
were killed by the Germans. Another
Of these fights, in which not a German
was lost, but 25o Chinese were killed
after three hours lighting. took place
near Chang Hun pass, on the south
side of the great wall. Lieutenant
Giehrl captured four quick firing guns
which were being used by the Chinese
and quantity of rifles and ammuni
ton. The Chinese were routed witt
the loss above mentioned and fed into
the wilds of Shansi.

Il HUNG IN DISFAVOR.
Report That He Has Left Peking Cred
tied In Washington.
EsPoUsED RUSSIAN CAUSE.
Believed That He Has Incurred the
Emperor'a Displeasure by His
Attitude In the Manchu-
ria Affair.

Washington, April 8. : Although no
official notice has reached here of the
reported departure of Prince Ii Hung
Chang FROM Peking for Shanghai, the
officials ~ inclined to believe it is
true and that Ii Hung Chang is really
leaving Peking for good and because
the emperor Is displeased with his con-
duct Of the negotiations.
II was known here when Ii Hung
Chang was made one of the peace en-
voys that he was pro Russian in senti-
ment, but there was no cause for conf
plant on that score until the Manchu-
rian agreement came up for considera-
tion..
Now II Is believed by officials here
that Ii has proved so earnest an advo-
cate Of the Russian cause and has SO
strenuously worked for the signature
to the agreement that his own govern
ment has felt obliged to deprive him of
power to further that agreement.
II this understanding Is correct. II is
believed that an effectual check has
been administered to Russia in her de-
signs upon Manchuria. for it is thought
the emperor of China would scarcely
have acted in this summary fashion
had he not had assurances of support
from some Of the other powers.
The Fort Agreement.
Mr.. Reckhill has not vet acquainted
the government with the exact Ian
guage of the agreement reported to
have been reached at Peking as to the
Chinese forts. but taking the press ac-
counts of the ministerial meeting as
accurate. it is gathered that Secretary
Hays views have formed the basis of
the agreement.
The original proposition. strongly
backed by most of the European pow
ers, was to completely destroy the
Chinese forts in the gulf of Pe-chi-li
and on the roads from Taku to Peking.
The state department felt that it
would be inexpedient to proceed so far
and leave China naked to the attack
of the meanest foe. Therefore the
powers We're urged to content them
selves with the simple dismantlement
of the forts, leaving them In condition
to be again mounted with guns in a
reasonable time.
| 1t is believed here that this project
has been accepted, for it appears from
the language Of the press dispatches
that the only fort ordered to be de
stroyed" is one on poiut in the Pei
river, which is to be removed simply
because it forms an obstacle to navi-
cation.
| A cablegram has been received at
the state department from United
States Minister Allen at Seoul. stating
briefly that the McLeavy Brown diff
Guilty has been satisfactorily adjusted
Brown was an Englishman charged
with the management of the Korean
customs department. and it was re-
ported that he had been removed
under Russian influence. 1t is thought
he has been reinstated.
