until 1889, his aunt, the empress dow
ager, acted as regent, as she had done
previously during cthe long minority
of his predecessor, who was her son.
On Sept. %, 1898, in consequence of
the emperor's action in decreeing radi-
cal reforms, he was sequestered, and
the empress dowager resumed the ac-
tive direction of affairs.
Under her rule the plot was Matched
to rid the country of foreigners, and in
the summer Of 1900 the legations in
Pekin were attacked and the foreign
settlements in Tientsin were lombard
ed for weeks.
The situation was relieved at its
most critical moment by the arrival of
an allied army dispatched by all, or
nearly all, the treaty powers. Tientsin
and Pekin were captured. The imperial
court fed and remained in voluntary
exile until early in 1902,
The emperor and empress are now in
Pekin, but the times in China continue
to be more or less troublous for the
rulers OF the great empire.

voTioN - ALL DRESDEN
IS EXCITED.

Dresden, Dec 24.-Countess Mon
tignoso, formerly the Crown Princess
Louise, divorced wife of King Freder-
ick Augustus, by coming to Dresden
and trying to see her children yester.
day, has probably forfeited her al
lowance Of $500. one of the condi-
tons of which was that she should
not set foot ON German soil.
This condition, however, may not be
enforced, as popular sympathy with
the countess is so strong already that
the court will avoid anything giving
the impression of furnishing her for
her natural womanly feeling. The
version of the countess's misadven-
ture commonly believed in the king
dom of Saxony is that Sine is guiltless
of actual wrongdoing and is the vic
tim OF an intrigue of the center party
which is described as using unscrup.
nlous means to prevent a strong Lib
eral from becoming queen. The cir
cumstances of the countess leaving
the court are so overlaid with fiction
that the truth probably will be un.
known 10 the present generation Of
Saxons.
II Is firmly denied that the Saxon
government has issued an order for
the expulsion of the countess from
Saxony Much excitement prevails
over an expression which the eoun-
tess is said to let drop. She is re-
ported to have said:
Il love my Saxony land am
coming back soon
This utterance supposedly refers
TO a conditional promise given her by
the kings representative at her hotel
here. II is already asserted that the
kings representative told her that
she might hope TO see her children
later. after the excitement in the
kingdom had further subsidized and
the children had duly been prepared
beforehand for her visit
The Dresdener Journal says the
countess proposed seeing the king, as
well as her children, and thar the
kings representative informed her
that a meeting was impracticable.
The semi-official Dresdener An
zieger today adopts an icy tone to.
ward the countess Montignoso in dis
cussing her attempt TO see her chill
dren. The paper says her contract
with the court should have given the
countess TO understand that her wish
to see them should not be gratified,
and that her duty is TO take the con-
sequences of her former behavior and
avoid doing anything to disturb pub
lie opinion at the Saxon capital. adj
ding:
She has damaged the good name
Of Saxony enough, and has caused
enough ugly confusion in many heads
Let her now prove that she is not in
accessible 10 better purposes"
