VICEROY FANG GIVEN
"CAN" BY JEALOUS RIVAL
Because He Allowed Photographs to
Be Taken Of Empress Cowager's
SatafaIque.

VICTORIA, 3. c., Dec. 14.-Political
turmoil is following the dismissal of
VicerOy Tuan Fang Of Chilli a Man
chUrian regarded as a favOrite of the
regent, on charges of having given
permission to photographers to make
pictures of the catafaluue of the en-
press dowager during the recent obse-
~uies, according to Picking advices re-
ceived on the steamer Monteagle. The
deposed viceroy, who was one of the
Chinese commissioners sent to Am
erica and Europe few years ag6, wah
impeached for lese majesty by son
of the late LIE Hung Chang. The dis
miSal, which was most abrupt, is said
to be really due to his secret advocacy
of a regency by the new empress dow
ager, the consOrt of the late emperor
whose action in taking precedence al
the recent funeral cermOny has Great
ed a storm at Peking. Owing to the
child emperor being successor OF
both emperors Tung Shih and Kuang
Hsi, the widows of both claim the pos
ition of empress doWager, and Tuan

enemies into admission of his support

press dowager and DECENT, WhereupOn

from Mrs. Henrietta NJ Stone for $500
an acre, this land adjoining the pres
emit cemetery on the west. Some time
was occupied in the discussion of the
question, which was presented in vari-
Gus lights, but after thoroughly con-
sidering all phases, the committee ar
chase, and report recommending
such action will be presented to the
council at the meeting. next Tuesday
evening
Question Of purchasing the 35 ae-
res of Mrs Stone as an addition to
the city cemetery has been before
the council. for some time, but hest
tation was fe't by those responsible
for making the deal because of the
belief expressed in certain quarters
that the price was too high. Careful
consideration coupled with inquiry,
however, led the council to determine
that the price offered for the land by
the owner was reasonable. Action at
this time was further made necessary
because of the congested condition of
the city cemetery. The purchase de-
cided upon last night will effectually
remove any fear of further crowding
for some years 20 come.
City Clerk T. D. S. Hart engineered
the ward boundary lines proposition.
While the changes necessary to con-
form to law, were being made, he
brought to the councils attention that
they might as wei make a few chan
ges in the ward lines and Straighten
them in order to make the ward bOun-
daries more comprehensive and not
so hard to define. This viii doubtless
be done. Owing to the growth of the
city, the precincts will have to be cut
up considerably. Two precincts will
be made of Lewis, two of Whitman,
two of Fremont and two of Stevens.
This action will be taken by the cOun-
ty commissioners who are to be in
session one week from today. The
names of the new precincts have come
up for discussion but nothing definite
was decided upon. The commission
ers, it is understood, are also to di-
vide Ritz and Baker precincts, in the
outskirts of the city, into two pre-
cincts.

erly He lived frugally in two rooms
which were crowded with priceless
treasures. Popular report credited
him with having never given cent
to charity. and with never spending
money unnecessarily on his personal
needs.
Sating's collections of porcelains

est. perhaps, in the whole world
Many paintings owned by him now
hang in the National Gallery. Mu-
scum directors made it a practice to
refrain from bidding against the &C.
centric man at sa'es because they
believed that his collections would be
bequeathed to the nation. However,
one of the connoisseur's eccentricities
was a reluctance to make a will, and
it is not known whether he ever~made
one. Accordingly, museum officials
are somewhat disturbed lest the pre-
cious collection be disposed of through
the auction rooms.
