HIGH PRICES AND FEW PAYING CLAIMS Industrial Conditions of Haiti Re- ported. STATE PAPERS OTHER Consul McCook has sent the Department of State an undated resport from Dawson City (received September 12) in which he Says: ; “Dawson City, probably the largest min- ing camp. in America, is built on a bog or swamp and contains a shifting population which now numbers about 20,000. Forty thousand prospectors have passed through here from the White and Chilkoot passes. Most of them had a year’s provisions. Hundreds are going away dail not being able to stay long on account of the cost of living. A dinner costs $2.50, and breakfast and lunch $1.50. Lodging is $1.50 per night in a bunk, and a hotel charges $6.50 for a bed per night. “The price of property in the business lo- cality is enormous. A lot of convenient size upon the main street cannot be had under $46,000. Lots in a bog off Main street bring from $5,000 to $10,000. To rent a log cabin costs $200 per month. With the ex- ception of the warehouses, the theaters, dance halls, saloons and gambiing houses are about the only establishments which ean afford these terms. Along the river ground leased from the authorities brings: $10 per front foot per month This, with the 10 per cent royalty charged on the er output elds a very large revenue. Tne prevailing price of labor is $1 per hour, but there are so many idle hands ng for employment that the supply x pds the demand, and may bring the price down.

An Official Chinese Datly. In one of his first reports io the State Department from Pekin United States Min- ister Conger describes some of the efforts that the Chinese emperor was making to reform the empire and inculcate modern ideas among the-péple.i One of these took the shape of the issue of an official organ, @ paper published Sin Shanghai under the name of The CHfinese Daily Progress. The emperor was to peruse the first copy of every issue of this paper, and provision was made for a system of censorship for the other Chinese papers. "The emperor said that the acquisition of an extended knowl- edge of affairs, both OWinese and foreign, is the main object he has in view, and he enjoins upon the editor ef the paper to pub- lsh the truth regarding daily events. Ar- ticles that may seem to be displeasing to his majesty must not on that account be suppressed ———_—_—__++______ THE WOMAN AT PEK Her and Extraordinary’ Power, From the New York Sun. To those familiar with the career of the so-called Empress Dowager Tsi An, there 4s nothing surprising in the announcement that the relatively young Emperor Kwang- su has been forced to abdicate in her favor. If precedents are followed in the case of this palace revolution, we may expect to hear, presently, the news that Kwangsu has suddenly died. He will not have been by any means the first impediment to the designs or interests of an extraordinary Woman that has been removed by an ac- commodating death. With the disappear- ance of Kwangsu would vanish the hope of seeing carried out the educationai reform which he lately sanctioned, and with him, also, would vanish what has been the prin- cipal obstacle to the triumph of the pro- Russian policy personified in Li Hung Chang. Now that she whom Li is wont to describe as his “imperial mistress” has seized once more the reins of power, Li Hung Chang will probably regain the lu- erative governorship of Chih-li, as well his former preponderance in the Tsung- men, or board for foreign affairs. It is almost forty years since the woman in whose favor the Emperor Kwangsu is alleged to have abdicated began to exhibit her remarkable talents for intrigue, and to play behind the scenes a dominant part in the government of the middle kingdom. When the Emperor Hienfung died in Au- gus + at Jehol, he left a will in pur- suance of which his son, a child less than Six years old, was proclaimed his succe! and a board of regency, comprising members of the imperial family, was ap- pointed. In the following November the young emperor was brought to Pekin, and seated in the same carriage with him were si Tshi, the Empress Dowager, or princi- pal widow of Hienfung, and also Tsi An, who had been only one of Hienfung ondary wives, or concubines. On t Sinister following their arrival in the p: Kung, brother of the decea emperor, al of the uving previously secured the as- 1 co-operation both of the Empre: 1 of her far abler associate, the i An. revolution having press Dowager Tsi s nd Prince Kung obt .

Kwangsu' allation, however, gave rise to a short conflict. between the two empres the palace eunuchs. The latter, often figured in Chinese history during troubled times, appear to have come to the front during the brief reign of Tungehe. Lut Tsi An soon reduced them to subjec- tien. In 1881, a few months after the signature of the treaty of St. Petersburg, by which the province of Ili was restored to Chi one of the two regent et was the Empress Tsi 'shi, the principal widow of the Emperer Hienfung, and the nominal senior of the two Jadics carrying na, rhis en the government.

Prince Chung, however, died suddenly in January, 1801, having been preceded a few months earlier by his allyjthe Marquis Tseng, who a'so perished in thé pripe of life. The de- cease of these enefget!é men facilitated the retention of supreme power by the empress dowager, and it is-said that these events have a se and sinister histo will one day be mpde'known by the im- placable compilers of the Chinese annals. In February, 1887, when the young Em- reror Kwangsu was sixteen years old. {i was announced that his proposed marriage would be postponed fof’ two years in con. sequence of his delcate. health. The post- ponement also had, manifestly, the effect ring to the regent empress a further lease of power. At last, in 1889, Kwangsu was marricd to Yehhdnala, the daughter of @ Manchu general. This lady had been carefully selected by the empress dowager out of many candidates, and thus far she has escaped the fate 6f the unfortunate Ahlutn. Upon the celebration of the mar- riage the empress dowager made her res- ignation public in «a farewell edict, but, although she ostensibly passed into’ a re- treat, she still retained the substance of power, and continued to rule her adopted son, for a time at least, with a rod of iron. One of the foreigners admitted to an audi- ence with Kwangsu in 1891 described him as making a pleasing and almost pathetic impress!6n. He had an air, we are told, of exceeding intelligence and gentieness, somewhat frightened and melancholy look- ing. His forehead was well shaped and broad and his head large berond the aver- age. The eyes were unusually large and sorrowful in expression. From her abode outside the walls near the old summer palace, destroyed in 1860, the dowager empress gave frequent indi- caticns of the influence which she retained SOPs Tweutieth 66 Occasion.

Li Hung Chang, in particular, was her associate and and, after his former temporary dis- s only her protection that pre- s losing his head. The real state of things at Pekin was made clear enough to outsiders in 1894, when the C hin) ‘se court decided to expend twenty-five million dol- lars on commemorating the sixtieth birth- day of the empress dowager. As a matter of fact, the money had to be applied to the expenses of the war with Japan, but the fact that the appropriation was made bears conclusive testimony of the fady’s ower. os pet was she who, although the Emperor cwangsu had refused, throughout 1895, ere Ti to the post he had formerly h 1 in the administration, secured for him in 1896 the office of special ambassador to at- tend the coronation of the Russian = peror at Mo: . It was during his so- journ in Ru that Li is said to have signed a secret treaty, the provisions of which, hewever, he could not carry out until he could recover his place of author- ity at Pekin. On his return to China he found his position at court no better than it had been after his return from Shimo- noseki, so far, at least, as his relations with the emperor were concerned. Despite the support of the Empress Dowager, whom, as we have said, Li Hung Chang regarded as his “imperial mistress,” to the exclusion of the reigning sovereign, the sucecss of his efforts was not rapid. He was, eventually, restored to a seat on the ‘Tsung-li-Yamen, and it was, probably, hi. recent removal frgm that post which gave the signal for the palace revolution by which the Empress Dowager has recovered autocratic power. The pretext, however, of the coup d'etat was, undoubtedly, the en peror’s project of educational reform, which was certain to give deep offense to the whole body of Mandarins and literati. It would require, as the head of the celestial empire, a man of exceptional cour- age and energy, ed, moreover, with the substance the semblance of autocratic power, to carry out a reform so trenchant and far-reaching as the substi- dy of Huropean science for of the Cenafucian classics in the Chi- scheme of educxtion. It seems but too ent that the unfortunate Emperor Kwangsu, who has been forced to abdicate, Was not qualified to play the part. ————~+ee. Fined and Warned. Policeman R. L.
