A REMARKABLE EDICT.
Issued by China's Dowager Empress on
Economy.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Minister Con-
ger has sent to the state department
copy of remarkable imperial edict
issued by the Chinese empress dowager,
Tsi Hsi, and promulgated by the en-
peror. The empress in strong language
calls attention to the precarious flnan-
|cial condition of the country which
makes it difficult to provide funds for
the drilling of troops. The condition is
said to require the exercise of the
strictest economy. The empress says:
"The habit of those between us and
you to surfeit themselves and spend
money extravagantly has become so
strong and systematic that now there
is no way in which it can be broken.
The useless expenditures for these sin
1ecures works a great injury to the
whole country"
Holding that the imperial household
should take the first step in economy,
the empress dowager has given orders
that there must be no diversion of
funds OF the board Of revenue for
household purposes, while the number
of officials in the household must be
reduced All the yamens and princes
throughout the empire are directed to
themselves of sinecure holders.

American silver plate manufacturers

have been enabled to get their goods
back free Of duty, although thus mark
ed, because, under paragraph 4S3.of the

an improvement in condition or ad-
vancement in value, and as the provi-
sions of sections and IL of said act re-
garding marking are not applicable to
reimported domestic goods, England not

teen negroes on trial were lynched is
untrue. Before court opened men were
