AWFUL LOSS Of LIFE. AIM Extraordinary Woman of the Far Ea$ta Tho empress of China Is tho one oriental character that absorbs most attention Just now. Tzo list Is not a real empress, but a usurper. Origi nally sho wns not an empress at all, but was given that honorary rank as tho mother of Hlen Fung's only son, sho being that emperor's concubine. Hlen Fung was succeeded by Tung Cho, and this ambitious woman found hor opportunity when Tung Cho died, In 1S7C, without an liolr. Tradition demanded that tho now emperor bo at least an adoptod son of somo branch of tho royal family. Tho Infant Kwang Su, who is now tho imprisoned and deposed emperor of China, was chosen. But ho was not of tho right generation to bo adopted as tho son of tho lato Tung Che, so ho waa intro duced into tho succession by adoption to Hlen Fung, and tho presont dow ager empress beenruo rcgont until ho should como of ago, In 1889. Sho Is tho young cmporor'B aunt. This arrangement loft tho dead cm poror, Tung Cho, without an ndoptod heir to perpctuato his lino. To moot this difficulty It wob docrced that whon tbo child ompuror should grow up his first son should bo adopted to Tung Cho. Herein tho ambitious downgor Amnnnan frtii.nl li., annnml ntitin.ltinltu VdJIUaO IUUUU l.Ul DUI.UUU UIIUi hlllllij to selzo tho power, for tho young em peror, Kwang Su, has had no children. Having taBtod tho sweets of powor as regent, she reluctantly roslgncd tho reins into tho omporor's hands whon long tlmo sho was still tho real ruler. "PRAIRIE SCHOONERS" FOR KANSAS CITY.

In view of tho summary stylo In which tho dowager empress nt onco struck off tho heads of tho young em peror's roform advisers, It has seemed strango that sho did not put Kwang Su himself out of tho wny. Tho wrltor In tho nlnotccnth century thinks this would hnvo been done but for tho vio lent protests that camo from all over tho eighteen provinces of China, from tho outlying .colonies, and even from tho Chlncso In California. Theso pro testations of loyalty to tho young omporor aro belloved to hovo staid tho hand of tho usurping aunt, for no mo daring Chinamen woro not slow to re mind hor that sho was but a concit-blno-rollct of a former omperor, and to call for tho restoration of tho right ful sovereign. Theso persona sho pur sued with relentless hatred, compell ing tho Bulcldo of ono, killing somo, driving others Into foreign countries, and offorlng a reward of ?75,000 for tho heads of Kang Yu Wol and Liang Chi Chno, tho most outspoken of tho reformers. Out of this stnto of nffalra tho pro--ont lloxor riots hnvo grown ns a vlo lont expression of tho reactionary Ideas of tho dowagor empress. Slmcrica tbo-Oc a Uitlc.

Somo of tho Bpeclal dispatches from Shanghai describe tho great southern provlnco of China us still quiet, but others assert that the news from tho north Is exciting tho southerners to n dangerous height of feeling and that millions may rlso nny day.

The extent of tho capacity was quickly ap preciated. Tho flames wero scon com ing from that part jt tho wreckage not covered by tho water. As tho train began to go to pieces under the destructive work ot both flames nnd flood human bodies floated out from tho mass and woro carried down stream by tho swift current. The storm did not abate In fury. Flnshes or lightning ndded to tho steady glow of tho burning train and lit up tho sceno with fearful distinctness.

Making his way aa rapidly as posslblo in tho faco or tho blinding storm, ho stumbled Into tho offico nt McDonough nnd artei tolling tho night operator of tho wreck fell fainting to tho floor.
