There are unmistakable symptoms that Europe will shortly find itself confronted with a revival of the perennial Far Eastern problem, which on so many previous occasions has exercised the minds of states men and publicists. At the time of writing there is no authentic news as to the successor of the late Emperor of China, whose death, long anticipated, has taken place at a momeift when his terrible, but none the less capable, mother is also on the brink of the grave, if the latest reports from the Chinese capital are worthy of credence. It is true that the late Emperor’s nephew is regarded as the heir-apparent, but the situation is liable to drastic changes if the Dowager-Empress actually dies, since it was only through her untiring advocacy that her son was nominated as heir to the Imperial Throne. Even as we write comes the report of this remarkable woman’s death, a presumable fact that enables us to discuss the subject under consideration with added certainty. For many years there has been in exis tence in the Celestial Empire a faction strongly opposed to the arbitrary sway of the late Dowager- Empress, and whose aim it is to overthrow her wide spread schemes for the glorification of her own near relations. The members of this party have frequently been the subjects- of frightful persecution at the hands of the woman who ruled the Forbidden City with an iron hand. She was, as is well-known, an implacable enemy of Europeans and European innovations, and her name will doubtless go down to Chinese posterity as the most virulent supporter of the “China for the Chinese” doctrine. The care fully engineered campaign against Europeans which culminated in the historic Boxer rebellion and the siege of the Peking Legations originally emanated from the Empre.ss’s Palace clique, who sustained a corresponding loss of prestige when the victorious Allies entered the Forbidden City a few years ago and exacted a pledge from the Chinese Government that henceforth European life and pro perty would be accorded adequate protection. That incident was the terrible old Amazon’s first expe rience of Occidental power, and it was one which she never forgot. It might be supposed that her death would effectually put an end to the smoulder ing hatred of the white residents which occasionally bursts into flame in remote Chinese districts, en tailing the massacre of a few devoted missionaries and venturesome traders, who are well aware that they carry their lives in their hands from day to day. The pressing danger of the moment is to be found in the possibility of the Palace clique organising another extensive anti-European crusade in order to fix their waning prestige, which is almost an nihilated by the death of their energetic mistress, more firmly on popular foundations. That the authorities are alive to this by no means improbable eventuality is evidenced by telegrams just to hand from Peking, to the effect that the foreign Lega tions are guarded by strong detachments of reliable troops. The British Legation guard has been re inforced by fifty men drawn from the Tientsin gar rison. So far no symptoms of disturbance are visible among the masses, who are said to be deeply im pressed at the news of the Dowager-Empress’s de cease. A period of mourning extending over three years has been officially proclaimed, and the ancient mourning ceremonies will be strictly observed in t he chamber where the Empress lies dead. She died, we learn from our despatches, solitary and unattended, breathing her last without hearing one sympathetic voice. It is currently reported in the capital that her death was hastened by the sight of her son suf fering frightful agonies on his death-bed, and this report lends additional colour to the belief that throughout her stormy career the Empress retained a passionate devotion to her ailing son. It is true that at times she demonstrated this deep affection in curious ways, closely incarcerating the unfortunate puppet Emperor within the confined limits of his seraglio, and denying him all intercourse with the world beyond the Palace walls. But Oriental methods cannot justly be judged from an exclusively Oc cidental standpoint. This strange woman’s existence was apparently devoted to a struggle between her innate love of power and her affection for her son, who we can well believe had substantial reason to deplore his mother’s fierce devotion. His reputed leanings towards a broader sphere of life were re- H. G. B. Peters Established 1885. Furriers Exclusively.

GENERAL NEWS. NEWS FROM AMERICA. THE PRESIDENT AND THE “OUTLOOK.” New York, November 15. Tne financial world is greatly amused at the news, which appears quite authentic, that Mr. James Still man, one of the leaders of the Standard Oil Trust, controls the Outlook magazine (New York), of which the President will become editor on the expiration of his term of office. Thus Mr. Roosevelt will in directly become an employe of the Trust, or so his enemies maintain. MR. TAFT AND THE TARIFF. Washington, November 16. Mr. Taft has announced his intention to summon a special session of Congress as soon as practicable after his accession to office, for the purpose of re vising the tariff. TERRIBLE OCCURRENCE IN THE WEST. New York, November 16. A telegram from Okmulgee in Oklahoma runs: “When the Sheriff went with his men on Saturday to arrest a negro charged with having attacked a tribe of Indians, the negro barricaded himself in his house and fired on the Sheriff’s party, killing the Sheriff and six of his men, among whom were some negroes. The negro in the house then set it on fire and perished in the flames. STANDARD OIL TRUST EXTENSION. New York, November 15. It has just been discovered that the Standard Oil Trust has commenced the construction of immense works at Elizabeth, New Jersey, which will give employment to ten thousand work-people. The total area covered by the plant will be 2,000 acres. The preliminary negotiations and the buying of the land have been kept a strict secret. THE ELECTIONS IN CUBA. Havana, November 15. The Presidential elections terminated today with victory for the Liberals. General Jose Miguel Gomez was elected President, and Dr. Alfredo Zayas Vice- President of Cuba. The Cuban elections just concluded with the above results were watched with sympathetic interest by all the American friends of the Island Republic, which owes its liberty and autonomy to the inter vention of the United States. The elections, it is interesting to note, took place under a new electoral law, the provisions of which include universal suf- frage, and most of the American newspapers ex press the opinion that the Cubans have just under gone a supreme test as to their capacity for self- government. In some quarters, however, this is re garded as going too far. It is pointed out that the Cubans have long been competent to govern them selves in their own fashion, that is to say in the fashion of the average Spanish Republics. The ac tual test was whether the Cuban minority, Liberal or Conservative, would accept, without resistance, the will of the majority of the people, as expressed at the polls on Saturday. People who have had experience in Cuba incline to the opinion that they will do so. There is not the least excuse that the elections were not conducted with the most scrupu lous fairness, as they were supervised by carefully selected officials, who in turn were looked after by United States officers. The candidates were General Menocal, the Conservative nominee, who claimed to represent law and order and generally all who have material interest in settled and sound government, and General Gomez, the champion of the Liberal party, which includes in its ranks all the dissatisfied sections of the people, the ultra-patriots, and the illiterate masses. It was generally believed that while Havana itself might go Liberal, the suc cess of the Conservatives was practically assured. The -result has proved otherwise, and official circles at Washington are now asking whether this unlooked- for development will exercise influence on the Go vernment’s plan for withdrawing the American troops from the island early in the New Year. If with the inauguration of General Gomez in January the ex pected disturbances break out, the American military occupation may have to be indefinitely prolonged. THE ATLANTIC FLEET’S CRUISE. It is reported from Washington that the Battleship Fleet will not reach home waters after its voyage round the world until the middle of March, instead of early in February, as originally arranged. It is believed that the change in the itinerary has been made in order that the great review of the fleet shall be made in Hampton Roads by President Taft in stead of by the out-going President. It is thought that so memorable a performance as that made by this splendid fleet should be recognised and empha sised by the new chief of the Republic at the com mencement of his official career, and Mr. Roose velt cordially agrees. It is an open secret that the American Navy Department is more than satisfied with the results of the great voyage from the tech nical and strictly professional point of view, while the State Department is gratified at the political effect produced. Among other things it is understood that extreme ly valuable data respecting wireless telegraphy have been collected by the officers in command of the battleships, and that some marvellous achievements in regard to signalling have been made. It is pro bably in this connection that the Navy Department has decided upon a great wireless installation at Washington, with a radius of 3,000 miles. The Washington correspondent of the Herald states that the Department will soon advertise for tenders for this work, also for wireless equipments for warships, each with a radius of 1,000 miles. It is claimed that the United States Navy already has in operation the simplest and most practical system of wireless tele graphy. THE OPEN DOOR IN MANCHURIA. An official denial is given at Washington to the report cabled from Tokio that negotiations were pro ceeding for the conclusion of a Treaty or Conven tion between the United States and Japan. According to the version of the papers, the Convention was to settle the Asiatic immigration difficulty in a manner calculated to satisfy the amour propre of both (Continued on’page 2.)
