WASHINGTON', Sept. 29. Important
Bows cotno from China nt tho end of tho
iay. which In Itself tends to advance urn
ferlnlly tho efforts for a Anal HOttloinent.
China tins accepted tho suggestions of tho
United Stutes contained In tho answer to
tho German proposition and haH begun vol
untarlly tho punishment of tho reactionary
Chineso lcudcrB who worn responsible for
tho Pckln outrages. Consul Ooodnow nt
Bhanghul cabled that Shcng, Chlno-io director
tf railways und telegraphs, has handed him
a. diTiiO of tho einporor and empress dated
at, Tagnon, September 25, blaming their
ministers for encourngtng tho Boxers. Tho
odlct orders tho degradation of four princes
and deprives Prince Tuan of his salary and
official servants. He Is to be brought for
trial befnro tlje Imperial clan court.
It will bo recalled that in its answer tho
Etate department was careful to stuto that
tvbllo It did not believe In demanding the
surrender of tho Chinese ringleaders ns a
condition precedent to negotiations, It was
resolved firmly, ns Secretary Hay had said
In his noto of July that in the end the
guilty parties should bo held to thu utter
most accountability. Tho Chinese govern
ment has taken this lutlmatloti to heart und
perhaps hastened hi Its action by tlm recent
manifestation of dissatisfaction by the
United States government nt tho reported
piomot on of l'rlnco Tuan, already hns begun
tho punishment of him nud tho other
Chtne8o leaders who aro hold guilty.
Overthrow of llnor Inllurncc,
Tho decrco recited by Sheng Is felt to be
tf tho utmost importance as Indicating a
complete chango of heart on the part of tho
reigning dynusty. It nenns that tho re
uctlonnry Inllucnces which have been dom
inant In Pokltt throughout tho uprising and
have, oven continued of Into days, liavu suf
fered n complete overthrow, and that their
most conspicuous flguros are degraded nud
on trial. It is believed hero that It this
action Is genuine It. will bo hard for any of
tho powers to find a reasonable pretext far
lonKcr refusing to heed tho appeals of tho
Chinese government Mr tho opening of
negotiations looking toward n settlement.
Thu Importance of tho action Is shown
by tho determination to try Prlnco Tuan
before thu imperial elan court. This Is
tho supremo Judicial tribunal of China nul
Is tho only one having jtirlsdlci Inu over
tho members of tho Imperial family. It
Is presided over by Prlnco LI, with th?
rcll known Prlnco Chlng ns fir t v ce presi
dent. Prlnco 1. 1 Is the llrst of tho eight
prlncoly families of China and Is rcg-i.dcd
is friendly to tho' progressive olument.
The attitude of Prlnco Chlng has boou
notoblo throughout the trouble as friendly
to foreign Interests. There aro five other
members of tho court, all of them high
perr.onngcs. They occupy n building at IV
Kln and are In tegular Hcsjlon for tho
trial of cases affecting members of the
nobility and tho high pernniingoa. Chinese
olllclals here s.iy that the rtfeiciKc ot
tho cases to this high court Is of its' If
the fullest assurance of the gravity w. h
which tho throne regards tho matter. It
Is noted also that even befnro tho trial
Prince Tuan Is stripped of his s.ilnry and
official servnuts. Ilelng a man of largo and
Independent means the loss of salary
would not amount to much If it were not
that this nnd tho loss of tho servants Is
u special means of humiliation. Tho nauos
of the four princes who have been degraded
tiru not known here, either by tho State
department- or by tho Chinese legation. j

one of the most sensational social scandals

from Capo Town, South Africa, and are
being discussed ami dilated upon In all
the clubs und In all tho fashionable and

good looking, with tllanesque hair, very

portunity to rotlect on his Intention to
marry tho handsome daughter of a famous
fashionable beauty. With his wealth and

Tho young duke's Inamorata has one

HEHLIN, Sept. 29. Tho Chineso situa
tion, particularly Germany's proposal and
the United States' answer, monopolized
public attention this week. Tho press,
both Keml-olllclal and Independent, con
tinues to severely blame President McKln-
ley for his refusnl to agreo with the propo
sition of Germany.
Tho Cologne Gazette, which, since the
outbreak of the China troubles, has boon
tho favorite mouthpiece, dally, of tho
foreign olllce, this week combated the view
that Gormany had boen trying to embark
the other powers on dangerous seas or at
tempting to obtain tho lead In the Chinese
negotiations.
Tho Lokal Anzelger todny argues that the
United Stntcs knows, through Minister
Conger, that tho Chineso government has
been the real culprit. Hence, it ndds, It Is
ridiculous to expect this same government
to punish Itsolf. "as tho United Stntcs pro
tends to bellevo in Its reply to Germany."
The report that Prince Tuan has been
appointed to u post where his Inlluonce
for evil Is even greater than It formerly
was, Is hero regarded by government and
press ns unmistakable evldcnro that the
Chinese government docs not want peace.
The argument, besides, Is that Gormany's
demand that China give up the ringleaders
before pcaco negotiations aro begun must
bo compiled with by China In order to
show thut sho Is really acting In good
faith.
Tho paperd express the hope that Field
Marshal Count von Waldersco will Issue
a decree offering a large reward for Prlnco
Tuan, dead or alive, as tho only means of
impressing upon tho Chinese mind the fact
that tho powers nro In earnest.
Tho strong cvldenco that Hussla has
seized the opportunity to formally annex
part of Manchuria and the statement of a
correspondent of the Berlin Tageblatt In
Urgn, Mongolia, that Hussla already treats
Mongolia ns her own, are hero treated with
marked lndlfforcnce. This Is only In lino
with tho formal declaration, which a Foreign
alllco official mado months ugo, that Ger
many In no way objected to Russia's ob
taining control of northern China, as Ger
man Interests would not be nffocted thoroby.
Tho German press this week discussed at
length tho preparations for a renewal of tho
commercial treaties. A representative of the
Associated Press has gathered tho following
facts in olllclnl quarters:
Itcvlxloit ot 'I'll r Iff l.nm,
Tho economic committee, which Is com
posed of high functionaries from tho differ
ent departments, convenes on Octoher 16.
Whether tbo minimum or maximum tariff
will bo adopted Independent of the present
single tariff la n question on which the
commltteo splits, it Is certain, howover.
that tho duty on wheat nnd ryo will bo con
siderably raised, probably at the minimum
to 5 or 6 mnrks per 200 pounds. Tho
ngrarlans would not support tho government.
throughout tho coming Important tension of
tho Reichstag unless a concession were
mndo to them.
It Is asserted here that tho American gov
ernment Is not taking Interest In tho Ger
mnn tariff discussion on the ground thit
the United States will not havo any reason
for complaint It no discrimination Is mndo
against tbo United States. It Is' certain
tho Reichstag will not havo tho treaty bills
before April next.
Contrary to tho current reports, a rep
resentative of tho Associated Press learns
at tho United States embassy that there Is
no prospect of nn early decision regarding
tho manner of carrying out Inspection un

nwnken ng an ardent response from liberal
and rudlcnls throughout the country, which
haH utterly shattered tho confidence with
which tho Ministerialists arranged tho ills
solution of Parliament. Tho npathy among
tho unionist voters consequent upon this
confidence is causing profound nlarm nmong
tho unionist leaders, who nre now frantically
appealing to (liclr supporters to bewaro of
tho danger of being lulled Into n falso as
suranco of security.
Ministers sLutcd with no program beyond
tho unnexutlon of the South African republic
nnd nrmy reform, relying entirely on the
wur boom to dull the public mind to trouble
borne domestic reforms. Hut Harcnurt nnd
Bannerman are forcing tho domestic qties
Hons to tho front, nnd, lo the consternation
of tho ministerialists, the constltuenclei nro
now showing moro Interest In these ques
tions than In South Africa.
Their .Strength Melt Attuy.
The net result is that the ministry, who
last week wero afraid that tho present
majority of 131 would bo swelled to un
wleldly proportions, nro now npjnchniBiv.i
thnt It will bo reduced to tho vanishing
point. Anything below 100 would seriously
weaken tho governmont.
In Ireland tho United Irish loaeuo Is mnk.
Ing u strenuous effort to return u unanimous
pledge-bound nationalist delegation on tbo
lines lohl down In Parnell's day. Healy and
his followers refuse to Join tho league, nnd
nro atnndlng in opposition to Its candidates,
Tho league candidates uro chosen by con
ventions of properly nccredlted delegates,
whllo Henly'ii men are chosen at gatherings
largely composed of prlcstB.
William O'Brien nnd I. F. X. O'Brien,
who wero sentenced to death for participa
tion In tho fenlnn movement, uro contest
ing Cork city ngalnst Mnurlco Healy and
Jeremiah Blake, both nttorneys, tho latter
crown prosecutor. Healy and lllako cannot
get tho ear of the public, popular sentiment
being to strongly with tho O'nrlcns, hut
they will get nil tho unionist vote, which,
with tho nationalists Influenced ,y the
priests. Is expected to Hccuro them victory.
I.fliuuc .Need LniiKcr Time.
If tho United Trlsh league had s x months
longer to organize tho country tho roiurn
of n united pnrty would bo inuured, but
ono of tho reasons why dlssjlutl-n cf Par
liament was decreed was to for. stall .hit
possibility. Tim Healy Is expound to re
tain ins own scat rrom North Louth, but
his pay will bo reduced. Tho Un.tul Irish
linguo hnB obtained $23,000 In 'thu Inst tew
days for election purposes nnd mc re money
is coming In. John Kodtnoud, th-ugh a
member of tho loaguo and ndiointlng Its
claims, refuses to participate lu tiny con
test whero the league candidates aro . p
posed by tho Healyllcs, as ho Is anxious
not to perpetuate tho feud. If any con
siderable nutubur ot HonlylUs. howov r.
uro elected Independent of tho null mil
orgnulzntlon, tho Irish pnrty will bo ecn
moro Impotent nnd worthless In tho next
Parliament than It was In tho Inst, a
moNnment has been Ktar.ed, nnd Is being
eagerly taken up hero to provide all con
servative clubs with rlllo gnlleHea for

to keep olive tho militarist Jingo spirit,
lu vlow of tho day when IOngllshuicn must
adopt Boor methods and repot foreign In

Winston Churchill, who Mistnlned a
heavy defeat when ho contested Oldham, a
Lnncnshlro manufacturing town, last year
In tho Jingo Interest, Is believed tn be
ngnln beaten for Parliament In this elec
tion. Great damagi has been dona him by
tho circulation of numerous Injurious
Btorlcs, especially ono thut ho abandoned
tho nrmy for Journalism to nvold holng
cashiered for cowardlco. Though palpably
fnlfc. this nccusutlon gained such credence
that Winston had to get lotter from Sir
Kvelyn Wood, adjutant goneruM of tho
nrmy. denying It, Other reports equally
baseless, hut not so easily refuted, have
been whispered about. Added lo all this
Winston's opposing candidates nro strong
local fnvorlles. Ho thought that with his
South African honors ho would ovorwh lm
nny llbcrnl opponent, but ho finds, like
many other Jingoes, that n war record Is
not tho magic tnllsmuu to cenjuro with
thnt ho anticipated.
