CHINESE COURT
AGAIN IN PBKIN
Return Marked by a Brilliant
Procession
Foreigners Allowed 10 SOC The CcrC-
monies KnceIiDg Soldiers Lined
Parade Route

ItAlnt Jdhs. o. Inc ANhptlAoA WI
tege entered the Forbidden City at
100 o'clock yesterday afternoon. It
was the most brilliant scene Pelin
has ever witnessed. The procession
consisted on a thousand gorgeously
attired noblemen, mounted upon
glitteringly eaparisoned horses. The
emperor, the empress dowager. Prince
Chun, the empress and several princes
were borne in yellow chairs, their es-
corts carrying hundreds OF gay ban
ners and silk umbrellas.
The spectacular phases OF the re-
turn Of the court exceeded expecta-
tions. The cortege was a sort OF
glorifed lord mayors show, and was a
bswilderlng and barbaric exhibition of
Oriental tinseled splendor.
It's chief significance was the COM
plete effacement OF the traditional
dedication OF Chinese royalty. For
eigners were given greater facilities
OF Witnessing the ceremonial than
would have been afforded them at most
European courts. The scene at the
Chen gate when the emperor and the
dowager empress entered the temple to
offer thanks for their safe journey was
nothing less than revolutionary when
viewed in the light OF all Chinese GUS
toms. The horseshoe wall, forming
the ancient gate. was crowded with
Europeans, diplomats. army officers,
missionaries, ladies, photographers
and correspondents. The emperor
proceeded 20 the temple Of the God OF
War, on the west side Of the plaza
with hundreds OF foreigners peering
down only 40 feet above him, and
dozens OF cameras were focused upon
the son OF Heaven. When he returned
his chair was borne through the gates
Then the chair Of the dowager empress
was brought to the doorway of the
temple of the Goddess OF Mercy on the
east side Of the plaza, and the dowager
empress appeared. Standing in the
doorway she looked upward. Directly
overhead were the German minister,
Or. Mumm Won Schwartzstein, the sec
retarles OF the German legation, the
officers and ladies from the American
garrison. The dowager empress saw
the foreigners and bowed low She ad-
vanced a few steps and bowed again in
acknowledgement Of the salutations Of
the foreigners. She returned 60 her
chair looking upward to the semi-cir-
Gle of foreign faces and bowing re-
peatedly.
The expressions of the dowager en-
press seemed almost appealing as she
faced those who had humbled her and
brought her down from her former
arrogance, and this confirmed the i'm.
preston that she is returning to Pekin
with anxiety for her safety.
The streets from the Machiapo sta
tion to the gateway OF the Forbidden
City, a distance of four miles, we're
swept and garnished early yesterday
morning. The great plaza between
the Temples Of Heaven and Agricul-
ture we're sprinkled with yellow sand.
Residents were compelled to remain
indoors. The soldiers and the police
formed a close Gordon along both
sides of this entire distance. A sharp
wind. bringing sand from the Mongo-
lian desert. blinded the spectators.

CHARGE BANKERS WITH FRAUD
Serious Allegations Growing out of
Failure of Bank of
Oto,

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Dec. 26.--(special Tel
egram.)-Serious charges continue to be
made against the OTTO bank, Of which Fred
II. Cutting and J. 7. Willett we're owners,
and which recently closed its doors. The
charge is made against the OTTO bank and
Cutting and Willett in a petition fled in
the district court today that the bank re-
leased a chattel mortgage OF record with
out authority, without any consideration
and without actual payment being made
upon the Indebtedness of $4,000 which the
mortgage represented.
The suit is begun by the First National
bank Of Lyons, which holds a note for the
amount stated against J. H. Melott. Me-
lott executed the note to the OTTO bank
August 10, 1901. and the bank afterwards
rediscounted the note to the Lyons bank.
The plaintiff asks the court to render a
personal judgment against Melott, to de-
clare the release of the mortgage as null
and void and to foreclose the mortgage. A
number of other banks which have set up
claims on which It was asserted the same
property was security, are included as de-
PENDANTS by the Lyons bank.
