A correspondent writes me from Ma
Mia that he was present when Alice
Roosevelt received her invitation to
visit the Dowager Empress OF China,
and that she was in great glee over the
prospect. My correspondent wrote that
as both Representatives Longworth
and Cochran were regarded as open
rivals for Miss Roosevelts favor, 1t
was thought that some inkling as 10
the inclination Of Miss Roosevelt her.
self might be found in the personnel
of the younger members of the expedi-
ton who would remain in her COM
pany, after the breaking up of the main
party at Hongkong. Later il was
learned, however, that both Cochran
and Longworth would accompany her.
1t was believed in Manila that the old
Empress whose merciless lust for pow
er has made her one of the horrors of
modern history would arrange great
spectacular ceremonies in honor of Miss
Roosevelt The old lady is a unique
personality. More than seventy years
old, she has exercised practical sover-
/ eighty over the huge Chinese empire
for more than forty years. and in such
! a masterful fashion that she has made
her power felt not only throughout the
. length and breadth of her own empire,
but In all the chancelleries OF Europe.
She has been compared alike to Queen
Elizabeth of England and Catherine
OF Russia, and 1t may be added that
she always took an almost childlike
| interest in everything that concerned
Queen Victoria, keeping elaborate
scrapbooks filled entirely with pictures
and clippings concerned with the prin-
cipal events of her life Yet this wom-
an, who has shown such a remarkable
gift for governing, was not born to
the purple. She was only one of the
many secondary wives of the Emperor,
, Hen Fung, but It was her son who
succeeded to the throne at the age of
: ive, and through his long minority
she held the reins Of power. The mys-
, terious death OF the young man shortly
after he attained his majority and as
sumed authority is only one of many
crimes that have been laid at the door
OF the Empress.-Town Talk.
