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Li Hang Chans; has been superseded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

Several Japanese warships are patrol

They approach the coast at night and

i THE "AUTOCRAT" NO MORE,
Oliver Wendell Holmes Dies Suddenly
from Heart Dlseaaa.
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.
