WHAT is DOING
THE WORLD OVER
A WORD ABOUT THE LEADING
EVENTS or THE WEEK.
China Loses Two Rulers.

The Chinese empire lost both its actual
and its titular rulers last week BY death.
The emperor, Huang-Hsu, and the dow
ager empress, his aunt, who had been for
nearly fifty years head Of the empire in
fact, oied Sunday. or at least the official
announcement was made then, though
rumors Of their death were current some
days before. Huang-Hsu was but the
puppet OF the energetic woman who ruled
China with an iron rod. As child she
was slave, but her beauty and keenness
brought her to the emperor's favor, who
finally made her his wife and empress.
He died many years ago, and since then
she hHs made and unmade emperors to
her liking. No one has withstood her
will and at times she has been cruel and
bloodthirsty. Before her death she des-
ignated Prince Pu-Yi, the three-year-old
son OF Prince Chun. cousin Of the dead
emperor, as the ruler of China, with his
father as regent. Chun is said to be
quite progressive in his ideas and favora-
bic to reform and to foreigners.
