PLOT OF DowAGER EMPRESS.
Get Rid Of Present Emperor-Will
Declare That He II Dead-Soon ~
She Reaches kai-fOng-fu Son Of
Prince Tuan to Succeed.

London, June lS.-The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Globe says he learns IN
Chinese quarters that the dowager empress
proposes, when the court reaches kai-
fong-fu, in Honan, to announce that the
emperor has been killed by brigands and
that Prince Tuan's son has succeeded to
the throne.
The dowager empress will then establish
new capital at Kai-fong-fu, which will
be connected by railway with Nan-kin.
The contract for this railway will be given
to John C. Ferguson of Boston, who the
correspondent understands will sell the
concession to the Russians.
The correspondent adds that Ferguson
is acting in behalf Of Ii Hung Chang and
Taotai Shang, who hope to escape CEN
sure by throwing the blame for the
transaction upon Ferguson.

a narrow escape his vessel had from

cane was raging when the ships nearly
came together, and big wave which
came along at the opportune moment
averted disaster, The Golden Shore

lumber laden.
The Cawdor was In ballast, and q
gale arose. In few hours it's fury be-
came terrible. Captain Burch soon re-
allied the folly of sailing in such sea
and every yard Of canvas was stripped
from the masts. There was nothing to
do but drift, and this the ship did for
some time. Soon the bare masts of the
Golden Shore hove In sight, she also
drifting rapidly in the storm.
AS the ships neared one another their
positions became perilous. The terri.
fled crews were unable to control them
and looked for nothing but the sinking
Of one or both Of the vessels. The Cav.
dor bore straight down toward the big
schooner with force that meant do.

But few seconds more and the yes-
sells would have crashed together had
not something occurred that filled the
sailors with wonder. A great wave. as
If conscience-stricken rose between
the craft and turned the nose of the
Cawdor just enough to prevent the
crash that seemed unavoidable. She
just missed the Golden Shore. So
close were the vessels as the ship fled
broadside by the schooner that one
could have jumped from. the Cawdor
to the Golden Shore. Captain Burch
says.
When the vessels slipped by one an
other a cheer went up from one hun

that she had turned completely around.

good crop reports, quick support has
come from the export demand, which
has been the largest for weeks past,
