DOWager Empress

Pelin. Jan. 9-An evidences indi.
cate that the emperor of China IS now
more completely uAGcr lhe domination
OF the dowaser empress than ne was
before tho Chinese court went into
exile. Several high officials were
granted audiences yesterday. during
which the emperor filled the role of a
hgurehead- The empress dowager sat
on his maiesty's lett and conducted
the conversations According to the
accounts OF the officials who were re-
ceiyed the dowager empress ignored
the emperor, and the latter did not
attempt to take any part in the affair.
These officials say his majesty ap-
pearcd melancholy and listless.
The principal topic OF conversation
during these audiences was the pres
ence in pelin of the foreign garrisons.
The dowager empress seemed i'm.
pressed with the necessity of a con.
ciliatory policy.
Evidence accumulates pointing to
the timidity of the dowager empress
about coming back TO Pehin. Her first
remark upon alighting at the Machiapa
station was: where are the foreign
soldiers?"
