The emperor of China will very likely be dethroned in favor of Prince Hang's Ion, who will treat with the Japanese. Li Hang Chans; has been superseded In supreme command by General Sang rhing of the province of Hunan, who ta received fall power. Li Hung Chang retired disgusted to Fao Ting, the capi tal of his province of Chi Li. His al leged 'defection tc the Japanese ia being canvassed. " A British, officer on board the Chinese warship Chuen Yung daring the recent battle says the slaughter was something terrible. .Had Europeans seen the blood drenched ship and fragments of bodies they would hove foresworn war forever. The Manchester Guardian is informed that Russia and Great Britain have defi nitely decided the settlement jof the war most be an international and not a Jap anese affair. Germany and France are said to have acquiesced to this decision, while the policy of the United States is still regarded as uncertain. Russia, ac cording to The Guardian, has already warned Japan that the future of Corea concerns the Russian government. Japan, in her present mood, will pay no heed to any representations made by the powers unless they be accompanied by tangible evidence of intention to back them up. It was to authorize this, ac cording to The Guardian, the minis terial council was summoned. It fur ther says, after a showing of fores, Japan would be told Great Britain de sired that an armistice be established, and Great Britain, on behalf of Europe, would immediately call an international conference. The London Globe'and St. James Ga zette express the opinion that the Man chester Guardian's article gives the real reason for the meeting of the ministers. The London Post says the present po sition of China cannot be lightly re garded. If that empire ia broken up or its position imperiled the outlook would be extremely grave. Hitherto we have been accustomed to regard China as an ally, and we have trenchant agreements with her which require close attention. Li Hung Chan; is the only man of emi nence in China capable of advising the emperor at this juncture. He deserves any aid that England can afford him in the effort to save bis country from the terrible dangers with which it ia menaced. The London Graphic says: It is time a halt was called by the Eoropean pow ers interested in keeping the peace. Neither Great Britain nor Russia can wish to see China permanently crippled by the Japanese. A state of chaos in the iormer empire would raise problems that might set the world ablaze. . The St. James Gazette says the inter ests of England, France and Russia are closely involved in the possible breaking np of the Chinese empire, and it is be lieved Russia has signified that she can not .any longer regard the progress of events in the far east with induterenoe. The London Telegraph remarks that three of the five ships ordered to China could not possibly arrive there in time to avert a possible massacre of British subjects, nor would a vessel of the typ of the first-class cruiser St George be needed merely to keep order at the treaty porta. The paper hints that pos sibly a farther emergency is being pro vided for.' . The Paris Gaulois asks if British in tervention in the Corean trouble might not result in a repetition of the famous coup of 1678, which enabled Admiral Lord John Hay to take possession of the island of Cyprus. The Paris Figaro, referring to the same subject, remarks: The British once landed in China would not be able to resist the desire to exercise a pressure upon the Japanese to prevent them from deriving all the advantages of a victory. The troubles may then commence and the peace of Europe be threatened, for Russia, France and even America will certainly intervene. ' .... Reports have reached Tien-Ton that a rebellion has broken out in the prov ince of Mongolia, Troops from Peking have been sent to quell this uprising. . The residents of Tien-Tsin are taking every precaution possible against an an ticipated attack by the natives. The Chinese merchants at Shanghai re cancelling freight contracts to Che Foo and Tien-Tsin, owing to a report that ther Japanese intend to blockade those ports. ' , " . -' , Several Japanese warships are patrol ling the1 coast near Wei-Woi-Hai, a Chi nese port on the Shan Tung promontory. They approach the coast at night and team away at daybreak. It is said the object is to prevent Chinese warships leaving Wei-Woi-Hai, or Port Arthur, an the opposite side of the Yellow sea. It is stated the Japanese do not intend to interfere with the export of coal to China, , . . , . ., . Wang Feng Tsao, late Chinese minis ter at Toldo, has had an audience at Peking and was severely censured on account of his ignoranoeof the Japanese' designs in Corea, . : Two Japanese spies have been arrested at Mankow.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, the venerable poet and writer, almost the last of the circle of great men of letters of New England of the generation past, died at his home at 296 Beacon street, Boston, Sunday afternoon. The immediate cause of his death was heart disease. Dr. Holmes had been in his usual good health all summer, which he spent at his country house at Beverly Farm. As was his custom, he came back to his winter residence in Boston about 10 day ago. He seemed then as well and strong as at any time in the last few years. Since his wife's death some years go he had been troubled with heart disease, and while his physicians told him that he must use great care it was not considered necessarily a severe case. Dr. Holmes leaves three children Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., judge of the supreme court of Massachusetts; an other eon, Edward, and a daughter, Mrs. J. C Sargent. Dr. Holmes celebrated his eighty-fifth birthday on the 29th of August last. He graduated from Harvard in 1829 and be gan the study of law, but abandoned that profession for medicine. After studying in Europe he returned to Bos ton and began the practice of medicine in 1886. Oliver Wendell Holmes' verses began to appear in various periodicals in 1831, in which year he was 23 years old, and his reputation as a poet was established by the delivery of a metrical essay en titled "Poetry," which was followed by others in rapid succession. Dr. 'Holmes' father was long pastor of the first church in Cambridge, then a rambling, pleasant country village. The little boy as soon as he was old enough was sent to a dame's school in Caru bridgeport. He was an imaginative, fanciful child, easily frightened, and there was a glovemaker's sign, a big wooden hand, which he had to pass on his daily walks to and from school, which always filled him with terror. "Oh, the dreadful hand!" he says in cne of his essays, "always hanging there ready to catch up a little boy, who would cone home to his supper no more, nor get to bed whose porringer would be laid away empty thenceforth and his half-worn shoes wait until his smaller brother grew up to fit them. " Ht was in 1837 that Dr. Holmes flashed upon the American public. There was a great many who can remember the delightful surprise with which they greeted the "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table," that brilliant series of articles which brought the Atlantic Monthly into immediate vogue. Before that the doctor had given his life both to law and to medicine, with occannnnl dips into poetry. With the "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table" he became the most popular writer in America, His life was a busy one. While at tending to his arduous duties of many kinds in different colleges, he still found time to write, and has turned out something good each year, as well as adding to his long list of short poems that have made him famous. -The death Oliver Wendell Holmes robs literature of one of its most shining lights and the world of one of the most gentle and kindly men that ever lived. For many years past visitors to Boston might have seen walking through the streets a slender, white-haired old 'gen tleman with a most distinguished bear ing. . But he was old in appearance only, for his heart was as light and buoyant as in the days of his youth, and ht took the keenest interest in the problems of life. The group of Americans to which Holmes belonged included Hawthorne. Longfellow, Thoreau, Emerson, Lowell, Wmtner ana jJargaret oweler. He was the last of this great company, and it is perhaps too soon to fix with accuracy his relative place in that group. But it is not to soon to say that none of them has had more readers, and few of them have been so universally en joyed. Posterity will probably not rank him with Long fellow and Lowell as a poet, nor give him credit for the same ascetic love of nature that distinguished Thoreau. His novels, "Elsie Verner" and "The Guar dian Angel," can hardly be placed in the same category with Hawthorne's best - work, and he was not the man of affairs t'jat Lowell was. Dr. Holmes loved all poetry and poets and had a sincere love for Longfellow. Poems with a tender sentiment gave him most pleasure, and a work without fancy had no ctuirm for him. The list of poems and other works that 65 years would mount up into the hun dreds. But all of them have afforded pleasure to millions of people, and will continue to do so for generations' to come, and keep his memory forever green, no matter what niche in litera ture the critics assign him.
