u HUNG CHANG LEAVES
REPORTED Ii HAS LEFT PEKIH.
by Order of the EmperOr-Was Tov
FrO-A AHsstan-'rPicd 10 Rring Ahout
Convention.

Washington, April 5.-Although no Of
fetal notice has reached here Of the report
ell departure OF Prince Ii Hung Cnang
nom Pekin for Shanghai. the officials are
inclined to believe IL is true and that Ii
Hung Chang Is really leaving fckin for
gooa and because the emperor Is displeased
with MS conduct Of the negotiations. IL
Was known that when Ii flung Chang
Was made one Of the peace ENJOYS he WAS
pro russian IN sentiment, but there was
no cause for complaint on that score until
the Manchurian agreement came up for
consideration. Now it is believed by Of
iicais here that Earl Ii mas proved 40
earnest an advocate Of the Russian cause
and has ~ strenuously worked for the
signing OF the agreement that his own
government has ieit II necessary To de-
mcnt. II this understanding is correct, it
is believed that an eiiectual check has
been administered To Russia in her designs
upon Manchuria, for il is thought the EN-
peror OF China would scarcely have acted
IN this summary fashion had he not re-
ceived assurances OF support from some Of
the other powers.
Mir. huekhiii has not acquainted tine
government With the exact language Of the
agreement reported to have been reached
AT Pekin AS To the Chinese forts, but tax
ing the press accounts Of the Ministerial
meeting AS accurate, it is gathered that
Secretary Hay. views have formed the
basis OF the agreement The original prop
osision, strongly backed BY most of tine
European powers, was to completely de-
stroy the Chinese forts in the gulf Of Pc
cheii, and on the road from Taku to Pc
kin. The state department felt that it
would be inexpedient to proceed 80 far and
leave China naked to the attack Of the
meanest foe. Therefore the powers were
urged To content themselves with the
simple disnantement Of the forts, leaving
them in condition to be- again mounted
with guns in reasonable time. 1t IL be-
licyed here that this project has been ac.
ccpted, for il appears from the language
of the press dispatches that the only fort
ordered To be destroyed is one ON u point
in the Pei river, which is to be removed
simply because il forms an obstacle to nav
igation.
