The death of the emperor of China. II
it proves true, brings to an end the reign
of a sovereign feeble in mind and body
who has been dominated all his life By
the all-powerfuI Influence of the dow
ager empress. Kuang Hsu's reign viii
be completely lost in the rule of the emp
TesS.
The emperor was born in 1870. His sue
cession to the throne was one of the
many arbitrary and illegal acts of the
dowager empress, who adopted him into
succession from a generation the same
as that OF his predecessor. although the
convention of the Manchu dynasty and
precedent provide that the succession
shall go TO the next following genera
ton.
Kuang Hsu was years old when made
emperor and his reign is the third in
point of duration in the history of the
DYNASTY Kang Hsu and ChLen Lung
each having reigned and ruled sixty years.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-11-14
Question of Succession.

The question of the succession has agi-
tated the imperial family since the au-
turnn of 1907. when il was perceived that
the health of the emperor was seriously
undermined. In January of 1850 the dow
ager empress adopted Pu Chun, son of
Prince Tuan, the boxer chieftain, heir
apparent, but she disinherited him in No
yeInber 1901. at the behest of the allied
powers. Since then the matter of an
heir apparent has been in allegiance, and
the dowager empress, in whose hands the
power of election was. gave no clue TO
her purposes or determination.
The dowager empress is and the en-
peror was a Manchu: in other words, for
eigners in China. and under the ban OF
Chinese patriots and an increasing anti
Manchu party which has sought the sup
preston of the dynasty and the restora-
ton of a Chinese emperor to the throne.
IL has been freely predicted that the de-
mise of the emperor would be followed
bv an attempt at coup d'etat, but the
imperial edicts mentioned in the dispatch
from Pel0in appear to have forestalled
anv immediate action of this kind Kuang
Hsu was a son of a brother of the hus-
band of the dowager empress.
