RULED BY EMPRESS DoWA0ER.
Chinese Emperer's Suppression Now Seems
to Ne Complete.

Special Gable DespaieA 10 THE SUI.
PEKIN, Jan. eo.-The reinstatement Of the
court yesterday at the reception Of the
foreign diplomats was a decided victory for
the Empress Dowager. whose assumption
Of the throne was fully Acknowledged and
emphasized by the recognition OF the Minis
ters. The formal greetings to the Emperor
were n farce, and Il 10 evident that the
stability OF future commercial and other
relations depends on consistent support Of
the Empress Dowager and Yung Lu, who Is
posing as chief Of the reformers. The
opportunity for the indirect repression Of
the Empress Dowager has been lost through
convenient ignorance OF her past crimes
In the desire for trade concessions.
The disintegration Of the allied interests
Of the Powers Is becoming more evident
every day. II Is also plain that the court
did not approach the capital until the
Chinese were sure that no action hostile
70 the power Of the Empress Dowager and
Yung Lu would be taken.
The brutal subvcrsion Of the Emperor
BY the Empress Dowager has been 40
complished In the best style Of Oriental
barbarian. He IL bullied and forbidden to
speak at audiences where a Prince speaks.
The Empress Dowager is generally present
and takes an active part In the discussions,
Or Ii concealed and listens.
According to the reports Of their court
companions. when on rare occasions the
Emperor and Empress are allowed to ap-
proach the table Of the Empress Dowager
they eat k~neellng and are not permitted
10 speak. They retire when the Empress
Dowager has satisfied her appetite.
People who are said to be best posted as
to the ability Of K~wang-su believe the En-
peror to be capable OF intelligent rule II
supported, instead Of undermined by the
court. The persecution Of the Emperor is
construed as a warning to his friends,
who rave become additionally disheart-
ened since his return 70 the capital and
since the practical recognition Of the En-
press Dowager by the diplomats az the
head Of affairs.

~ the Netherlands Government to use its
GOOD Offices to bring about peace In South

added. he was prevented by courtesy to

,hority for stating that the proposal made

do~s contain q declaration from the Bosr

tepts OF the Dutch note 10 Great Britain.

tho Dutch Government was couohed In very
friendly and respectful language, and gave
s.pression TO the sincere sorrow with which
the prolongation Of hostilities Is watched
by the people Of Holland and of their desire
20 see peace speedily contaminated.
The Netherlands Government intimated
that IL would facilitate in every way pos
sible a settlement between the belligerents.
The document concluded by placing the
ssrvice OF Holland at the disposal Of the
British Government should the occasion

willingness to abandon their claim to in

an immediate and generous amnesty for
all combatants In the war In place Of their
