Washington, April 27.-The follow

ed board of national administration
to relieve her of her public functions
They embrace three members of the
Cabinet now with the Empress at Sian
Flu. and Prince Ching, Viceroy Lii and
Prince Kung, who are now in Pekin."
This news is regarded as of import
ance, indicating as it does the re-
linQuishment by the Empress Dowager
of the arbitrary powers she heretofore
has exercised.
The three members of the cabinet
now at Sian Flu include the notorious
Jung Lu, who was one of the most
active in the outbreak against the
foreigners last summer. One of the
other members of this council seventy
years old and is said to be greatly
debilitated. The third member has
been at least lukewarm toward foreign
interests. The choice of these three
is looked upon as likely to complicate
the good which Ii Hung Chang and
the others may accomplish.
