KUANG-HSU'S LIFE ONE
OF IMPOTENT DESIRE
Anxious to Lead His People Out of Ignorance He
Found Himself Blocked on All Sides by
His Imperious, Crafty Aunt TSi-An.

Although Kuang-Hsu. Emperor Of
China, reported as dead, really ruled
about three months OF his thirty-three
years Of reign. during that time, he
issued thirty great reform edicts that
set the nation topsy-turvy, and ulu-
matelv bore fruit in the awakening Of
the empire.
The very severity with which Tsi-
An, aunt Of Kuang-Hsu, and Empress
Dowager, crushed these reform ideas
with her reactionary policy seems 70
have brought forth flames where there
were smoulderings.
Put on the throne at midnight, Jan
uarv Il. 1873. when he was four years
old, Kuang-Hsu remained IN the For
hidden City" until his death, leaving its
triple rows Of walls only on the raresJ
occasions and then in such manner
that few, aside from the high officials
and ambassadors, have ever seel him.
Upon his accession 10 the throne, a
long and grandil0quent edicL signed
with his name and seal. appeared From
that time on. 1t is said, mis- name and
seal were used by the Empress Dow
ager, regardless Of any policies the
Emperor may have had
Falls in Love.
The Emperor very humanity fell in
love with the daughter Of a great Man
chu leader. whom he announced he
would marry. According 10 the APPROX
ed custom, he also selected another
fair maid Of the empire TO be his sec
OndaI-y wife. He was almost happy.
But at that time. 1857, the Empress
Dowager learned of his plans and is
sued an edict informing the empire that
he ought to be married.
Pale and weak, enervated by his Ge-
cIuded life. Kuang-Hsu appeared too
i'll for such excitement, and not until
two years later did the ceremony take
place.
Yo-ha-na-Ia, thirteen years old, not
too good-IOoking, but the daughter or
Knei Hsiang. a NIanChu general was
the wife chosen by Tsi-An. As fur
Their incentive to happiness, two secon-
Diary wives. Ja-Ta-La, fifteen years old,

family He quarreled with his wife and
brooded over his spoiled love affair.
The Emperor was eighteen when he
was married. Two years later. HuanE-
Hsu became OF age, and assumed the
role Of ruler. The DOwager Empress
continued TO issue her orders. and 10
dictate those Of her nephew ruler. The
despotic old woman crushed his spirit.

Ohio Republican politicians who are

festatiOns. that Mayor Tom Johnson
of Cleveland, the man whom many Dem
ocrats have looked upon as the leader
destined 10 conduct them out Of the
wilderness, has about reached the end
Of his spectacular regime.
Tom Johnson is just about down and
out is the expression aOw common
among OhiOaus In the past, since
the days when he got his start by dig
cling bitches in the streets. Johnson
has shown a marvellous capacity 10 land

remarkable good fortune TO prevent the
collapse of his whole municipal owner

and his followers had been confident of

was but the beginning of trouble. In
the general election the Republicans
carried Cleveland by an overwhelming
vote. and the fact that there had been
