"AN EMPEiilt DEPOSED
Ruler of China Not Dead as Ru-
mored but Shorn of Power.
DOWAGER EMPRESS REIGNS
His Imperial Majesty ls Said to Desire
Foreign Aid. The Emperor Now Only
9 Tool and Li Hung Chang Will Have
More Power Than Ever. The Text of
the Decree.
London, Sept. 24,—A dispatch to the
Central News from Pekin, dated yes-
terday, says that the emperor is in
good health, but is much disturbed
at the realization of the existence of a
conspiracy against him. The emperor
issued an edict yesterday morning or-
dering the guards of the palace to pa-
trol with extra care. The guards at
the doors and elsewhere within the
precincts of the palace have been
strengthened.
The European community in Pekin
believe that the life of the emperor is
in danger. He is no match for the wily
dowager empress and is sadly in need
of foreign protection in his emergency.
Englishmen think that the present
state of affairs is England’s opportu-
nity. ‘
A dispatch to the Central News from
Shanghai says that the report of the
death of the emperor of China. is not
confirmed. It seems, however, that his
life has been endangered. The Taotal
(governor) of Shanghai yesterday of-
fered a reward of $2,000 for the arrest
of Kung Yi Jei, the .leader of the Re-
form party, who is accused of being
the leader of a plot to murder the em-
peror, but whether there was an act-
ual attempt to kill him is not known.
The authorities are now searching ves-
sels arriving here from the north in
the hope of arresting Kung and his
confederates.
Pekln advices received in Shanghai
say that the city gates Were closed on
Thursday to prevent the escape of
Kung, whose arrest had been ordered.
Search was made for him throughout
the city, but without success. The ex-
ecution of the sudden order to close
the gates probably gave rise to the run
Inor of the emperor’s death.
Whether Kung was a real plotter
against the emperor’s life or is only
made a. scapegoat to shield others from
the consequences of their intended
crime, is not known. It is certain,
however, that there has been a. violent
eruption in the palace at Pekin. The
empress and the dowager empress are
in violent opposition to each other, the
empress being highly displeased at the
reforms which the emperor inaugurat-.
ed. She is desirous now that Prince
Kung's grandson shall be placed upon
the throne, with herself as the guiding
spirit, and acting under the advice of ~
[.1 Hung Chang.
A dispatch from Shanghai to a local
news agency says that the imperial de-
cree issued Thursday appoints the em-
press dowager nominally to assist the
emperor in the direction of the gov-
ernment; but it practically arriounts to
the regency of the empress.
The emperor henceforth will be a
mere tool, and Li Hung Chang, who
will direct the Tsung-li-Yamen (for-
eign board), will have greater power
than ever. ,
The Decree.
Washington, Sept. 24.—The Chinese
minister, Mr. Wu Ting Fang, has re-
ceived a cable dispatch from the Chi-
nese foreign office at Pekin giving the
text of the edict issued by the em-
peror committing to the empress dow-
ager the direction of the vast affairs of
the empire. The edict, freely translat~
ed, from the cipher code, is as follows:
“Now that China is disturbed, and
'there is need that all business shall be
well done, we, the emperor, agitated
from morning to evening for the wel-
fare of all affairs, and fearful lest er-
rors may occur, abserving from the
beginning of he reign of Tung Chi that
the empress dowager had twice given
instructions to the emperor, each time
with signal ability and success, so we
now, considering the'important inter-
ests of the empire, have begged the
empress .dowager to give the emperor
the benefit of her wide experience and
her instruction. The dowager empress
has been pleased to accede to this re-
quest. 4
“Therefore it is to the good fortune
of the whole empire that this auspic-
ious event is brought about. From to-
day the empress dowager conducts the
business in the imperial apartments,
and on the eighth day of the present
month (Chinese calendar, meaning to—
day, English calendar), we will take
all the princes and ministers to per-
form the ceremOny in the Ching Cung
palace. Let the yamen (foreign office)
prepare that the ceremony may be per-
formed with fitting honors.”
A Proclamation Against 3 Prize Fight.
Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 24.—Governor
Bradley, upon receiving a. telegram
conveying the report that arrange-
ments are making to have the Corbett-
McCoy fight in this state, near Cin-
cinnati, issued a proclamation yester-
day warning all persons not to attend
the same, and directing the peace oth-
cers of the state to take steps to sup-
press the fight if attempted in Ken-
tucky.
Denies Our Right in Luzon,
London, Sept. 24.—A special dispatch
from Madrid says that ministerial au-
thority has declared that the United
States government has no right to a
protectorate over any of the islands of
the Philippine group. and that the
Spanish peace commission will ener-
getically defend Spain's right to their
possession.
Corn in Nebraska.
Omaha, Sept. 24.—-Corn harvesting
has begun in Nebraska and frost could
do no damage in any part of the state
now. .
The crop will be about two-thirds
of an average crop, or 150,000,000 bushi
sis.
Bank Statements Called for.
Washington, Sept. 24:-Comptroller
Dawes yesterday issued a. call upon
the national banks for a statement of
their condition at the close of busi—
ness on September. I0.

reproduced from Harper’s Bazar, and
Paris Autumn Costume.
A gown of'light weight mixed wool in
a small checked pattern of fawn, very
fashionable for tailor gowus this
autumn, is trimmed with velvet bands
strapped again in the centre with
lady’s cloth of a paler tint, so closely
that very little of the velvet shows
between. The illustration, which is
for which cut paper patterns can be
secured, gives an idea of the cut of the
gown. '
The circular skirt is attached in the
back Without any visible fullness just
at the waist line, hanging lower down
in easy graceful folds and perfectly
straight in front, where the band
trimming is curved apron-fashion‘in
double rows. The Width of the skirt
at the hem is four and a half yards; the,
FRENCH FALL TAILOR GOWN FROM HARPBR'S BAZAR
'lining and outside are cut the same
form, and are seamed and faced in the
usual manner.
The jacket in the style of a. Zouave is
cut away sharply in front, just above
the waist line. The double revers,
rather wide and pointed, roll back
over a chemisette of cream-colored
silk muslin, pleated and finished with a
great soft bow at the neck. The jacket,
in the back, is fitted closely to the
figure and finished with double basques
open behind and curving to the front,
the belt of black velvet with gilt
buckle concealing the seams.
A high flaring- medici collar is the
finish at the neck, and the decorations
of the jacket are bands similar to those
of the skirt, with groups of cameo
buttons, that appear also on the skirt
front.
INDIANS GROWING GOOD.
The Policy of the Governmet to ”at.
Thom Self-supporting.
It is rumored in department head-
quarters that there will be a rattling
of dry bones at some of the older
Western posts in the near future. As
a result of the shake-tip, predictions
are that a number of them will be
stricken from the list of necessary
stations and either sold at auction or
turned over to the Indian service for
agencies.
Five years ago it was thought the
height of folly to think of abandoning
any of the Ari20na military posts,§
which are in the region infested with '
Apaches, but to-day it seems to be the
settled policy of the Government to
make these men self-supporting, and
therefore safe citizens. As rapidly as
the Dawes bill requirements are com-
plied with the Indians are admitted
to the rights of suffrage. These re-
quirements are “the severance of all
tribal relationship and the adoption of
the modes and habits of civilization”,
This will soon cover the whole Apache :
tribe, once so bloodthirsty, and it is‘-
not improbable that the next five ,'
months will see the abandonment of!
Forts Apache, Grant and Huachuca,‘
in Arizona, and Wingate and Union,,
in New Mexico. The only reason why i
the Government keeps troops in these I
God-forsaken regions now is because9
of fancied fear of the Indians. :
It is also the policy of the Govern-"
ment to turn over all abandoned mili- l
tary posts in the Indian country to the l
redmen, to be used as agencies: thus, ’
in Utah, can be seen the Onray agency,
once the site of old Fort Roubidoux:’
in Montana can be seen the Fort Peck -.
agency, once the site of a military
cantonment of that name, and in Ari- I
zona the Fort Defiance agency flour-I
ishes where once stood that sentinel]
of the advance of civilization west-i
ward, Fort Defiance. ’
In speaking of the Apaches recently,
Gen. Sumner said: “It is generally mis-
understood, this question of the Apa-
che Indians. They are generally look-
ed upon as being bloodthirsty, fierce
warriors. ' On the contrary, I never
dealt with easier Indians to handle.
They are making as rapid strides to-
ward civilization as any band in the
United States, and no more need
watching than many of the tribes of
the Indian Territory. The Utes are
vastly more‘ turbulent and trouble-
some." -
From this it can be seen that the
prediction that the above-mentioned
posts will soon be reminiscences has
good foundation on logic; all of them
are mainly maintained for the purpose
of keeping the Apaches in check.-
