THE FALL OF MANILA—RAISING THE AMERICAN FLAG OVER FORT SANTIAGO. FROM HARPER’S WEEKLY
CHINA’S DETHRON ED EMPEROR.
The Young Chinese Ruler Was Very.
Unfortunate.
The young emperor of China, whose ‘
down-fall has set all the world to talk-
ing, came to the throne on the death
of the late emperor, Tung Ci, Janu-
ary 22, 1875. He is now 27 years old
and is the son of Prince Crhun, the
seventh brother of the emperor Hien
Feng. When he became emperor the
young Chinese ruler assumed the
name of Kwangsu or Kuang Ilsa].
(It should be said fillet Chinese names
are spelled phonetically and in rend-er-
ing them into English letters there is
no rule to be followed.) The present
dowag-er empress. who is the aunt,
and not the stepmother 01 Kwangsu,
herself selected the prince for the
throne when the late emperor died.
Although nominally in control of the
government, Kwangsu did not take
full charge of Chinese affairs until
1889.
Kwangsu is the ninth emperor of
China of the Manchu dynasty, which
has furnished all its emperors to the
country since the overthrow of tho .
Ming dynasty in 1644. There is no
hereditary succession, and it is left
to each sovereign to name the ruler
who is to follow. The choice is made
from among the members of the im-
perial family of a younger generation
than his own. The present “son of
heaven,” it is said, is a weak-minded
. young man, who dream-ed big dreams
of making China the equal of any of
the civilized nations of Europe. His
desire was to introduce steam power
into the country, develop the resour-
ces of his domain, build railroads, open
mines and accomplish other works of
this kind for his people. His good
aunt. however, put a stop to all that
and now rules the ruler with a hand
of iron.
This young man has been unfortu-
nate even since he ascended the
throne. He had“ been declared e-m-.
peror but a short time when the im-
perial temple itself was struck by
lightning. . The priests and medicine
men declared that the gods were of-
fended at some hidden sin, and the
keepers of the temple were beheaded.
But all this did not help the weak
young ruler. Mistake afiter mistake
was made in the government, and the
grand disaster of: the war with Japan
China
is split up into political factions that
hate one another bitterly, and the poor
emperor was dragged hither and
thither until he was at last dragged,
bodily from the throne.

YOUTHFUL POTENTATES-
Queen Isabella Ascended the Throne
i When Only Three Years Old.
Spain is always the land of the In-
fante. Today it is the kingdom of an
infant, just as it was sixty-five years
'ago, when the king’s grandmother,
Isabella 11., ascended the throne at the
. age of three, assuming the actual gov
'ern-ment when she was thirteen. If
our own Prince Alfred had not de-
clined the crown of Greece in favor of
Q the Dane, he would have been a king
lat nineteen, and carried ,on the tra-
,ditions of the many child-monarchs of
:Great Britain; including his mother,
; when she was wakened on that histor-
: lc night in June at Kensington palace
;to hear that her uncle, William IV.,
was dead, and that she reigned in his
:stead. Henry, 111. had become King
‘ of England at the age of ten; Edward
l 111 at the age of fifteen, Richard II at
ithe age of eleven; Henry VI. at the
! age of eight; Edward IV. when he was
twenty, while his son, Edward V.,
became king at the age of thirteen,
[which again proved an unlucky num-
. her, for he was murdered in the Tower
with his only brother, the Duke of
,York, after he had reigned less than
twelve weeks. Henry VIII. was only
eighteen when he came to be king;
his son, Edward VI., was just ten and
was dead before he was fifteen, while
:his would-be successor, the hapless
' Lady Jane Grey, was proclaimed
queen before she was eighteen, and
lost her pretty head before she was
nineteen.
Pets Travel In Baskets.
Not to be deb-arred from carrying
Fido on railroads where dogs are not
allowed, except in baggage cars, the
unto—date woman has adopted an in-
genious device. Some of the large
stores have been displaying unique
wicker baskets 'of a pattern and finish
which immediately attract the atten-
tion of the shopper. These baskets
are shaped like an ordinary market
basket, though finished a little, more
artistically, and are opened at one
end for ventilation, but barred by rat-
tan rails to prevent Fido from escap-
ing. Madam can carry her not on
board a train and, provided the dog 01'
tabby makes no noise, she is free
from detection.
Other shops are showing bags
for cats, parrots. monkeys and dogs.
These bags come in all sizes, are oil-
cloth lined, and shield thepet from
the conductor’s objecting eyes. Each
end of the satchel has heavy wire
gratings, which admit the air, and
may be instantly covered by canvas
screens in case a railroad official
comes uncomfortably neon—Philadel-
phia Press.
Labouchel‘e’s Clever “’ooing.
Mr. Labouchere, father of ,the first
Lord Taunton, was employed as a
young man in the great mercantile
house of Hope. He applied to Sir
Francis Baring for leave to pay his
addresses to his daughter. Sir Fran—
cis demurred, as Labouchere, though
a rising young man, had no fortune.
"But if Hope takes me into partner-
ship?” said Labouchere. .
“Oh, yes, if Hope takes you into
partnership.”
Labouchere then went to Hope and
intimated his wish for this arrange-
meat.» Hope in his turn dcmurred.
‘fiBut if I marry Baring’s daughter?”
“Oh, if you marry Baring’s daugh-
ter——” _
So Labouchere married Baring’s
daughter and became a partner in
Hope‘s.-—-\Iew York Mail and Express.
