American Legation at Peking
Advised Regent Is in Power.
EMPRESS M0RTALLY ILL
Japan Will Not Intervene, But Con-
fer With Powers.
TROUBLE IS NOT ANTICIPATED
All Quiet in Peking-Guards at
Palace Are Trebled-Statements
of Foreign Board Discredited.

PEkING November 1.-THE emperor
died shortly after 5 o'clock this evening.
The report of yesterday that the dow
ager Empress of China was mortally Ill
was today confirmed by the foreign board
of the government
There is a continual procession of Of
ficials in and out of the palace. The
palace guards have been trebled. The
city is quiet.
The difficulty of confirming reports
emanating from the palace lies largely in
the fact that 1t is the custom of the
court to make a secret of any imperial
death.
Denials Are Discredited.
Ever since yesterday the foreign has
been engaged In issuing ardent denials OF
the reported death of the emperor At 8
o'clock last night it issued statement
10 the effect that his majesty showed
some slight improvement.
While the foreign residents in Peking
are confused and have no means of as
certaining the truth, as against the mis-
statements of the court the belief Is
crystallizing here that the emperor al
ready is dead-that he might have died
last night, or even before.
Public attention to what actually is
transpiring or has transpired at the
palace was diverted today to the new gov
ernment for China, as indicated by the
edict promoting Prince Chun to the re-
gency and his infant son, Pu Wei, to be
heir presumptive. The edict grants Prince
Chun precedence over all other princes
Victory for Reform.
The appointment has made good i'm
pressioh. 1t satisfies the reformers and
appeals to the sentiments held by the peo-
pie for Kuang-4su, because 1t respects the
close blood ties in the matter of the sue
cession. and introduces a new and more
modern element into the government OF
the empire.
The appointment is an evidence Of the
victory of the reformers.
The government today notified the
American legation officially that Prince
Chun had been made regent and that he
was. therefore. the head of the state.
This Is recognition of the retirement OF
the dowaEer empress.
One of the edicts issued in the name of
the emperor says:
Since last autumn we have been Ill.
The physicians recommended by the gov
ernment have not been successful In
curing us. We are weak and without
spirit. racked by pain. without appetite,
cold and feverish, and it has been i'm
possible for US to sleep.
We are anxious to permit the viceroys
and the governors to send other physi-
clans to US quickly, and we will give
extraordinary rewards to the physicians
or officials who help U.S.

ALL DErEaOS ON KAISER
GERMANY AWAITING HIS
MEETING WITH Won BUELOW.
Said to Be Undecided What to Do
About Retaining Chancellor
in Office.

BERLIN, November 14.-Emperor Will
hunting guest of Prince Won Fuersten-
berg. He is due at Kiel Monday at noon
to swear in a number of naval reserves.
Chancellor Won Buelow will leave Berlin
tomorrow and will be at Kiel to receive
the emperor The audience between the
chancellor and his majesty, upon which
depends the future course of events. has
been arranged for the afternoon.
The situation here has reached an in
tensely interesting pitch, owing to the
attitude of the kaiser. who. according to
letters received from Donaueschineen, is
in a continuously varying condition of
mind.
While the agreement of the chancellor
with the position of the reichstag and
federated governments is now clearly
known, the emperor's attitude is greatly
in doubt and a subject of diversified pre-
diction. The Grenzboton. monthly po-
litical review published under the super
vision of the foreign office. has taken up
the defense of Chancellor Won Buelow.
and in the current issue says:
Calm consideration o. German inter-
ests does not permit us to judge the over
sight of trusted statesman as we would
similar action by a clerk whose error in
such a case would be objectionable. 1t
would be the height of absurdity to ex-
pect the chancellor personally to examine
and control every manuscript that came
to his hands. The misfortune is that
such conversation ever occurred
The Cologne Zeitung says that from
the meeting of the emperor and chan
cellor 1t will be learned how far the en-
peror agrees with Won Buelow's view
point or whether any agreement has been
reached. The reichstag has not arrived
at any formal conclusion in this matter,
and the solution of the crisis lies today
with the emperor. upon whom all ayes are
turned
Baron Won JeniSch, who is a kinsman
of Prince Won Buelow. is in the emperor s
suite as representative of the foreign
office. He is a man of calm and quiet
judgment, to whom his majesty Is per-
