 Pekin, April 13.-The dowager en- press has issued an edict repeating the comprehensive stamp taxation scheme which Yuan-Shi-Kai, governor of the province of Chi-Lo, was about to in- augurate throughout this province.

One of the contemplated effects of the proposed plan would have been to se-s cure honest returns of taxes collected and to deprive minor ofticials of large perquisites. The degree of the dow- ager empress's solicitude for the pow erty of the people is evidenced by the costly junket she is taking The court will return from its visit to the west ern tombs Wednesday and will sojourn at the hunting park. z A short railroad Is being built between the main line and the park to convey the crown prln- cess of Bavaria.
