TltYlXO TIMES IX CHINA.
Kh.ir.ghal. May 3). Correionilenee of
thfl AswK-lated Press.) These are trying
times In China. The Imperial government
la pan-lng through a crisis. The Intriguea
and cross Intrigues of the court, the gen
eral and constant friction between the
M.mchural and the Chinese Imperial coun
cils are complicating matters. Prince
Kung, the Imis-rial adviser. Is at the point
of death. It can be itated upon the high
est authority that at his death a reorgan
ization of the council of state will be
made. The famous viceroy. Chang Chi
Tung is now In Shanghai. He will short
ly go to Peking at the request of the em
reror. It Is presumed thut at the death
of Prince Kung. Viceroy Chang will be
made one of the Immediate councillors of
the emperor. Through Chang Chi Tung
1 an elderly man. he ranks with LI Hung
Chang In progressive idea. It will be a
new era for China If Viceroy Chang does
enur on the duties of the council cham
ber, for then be and LI Hung Chang
will be able to outvote the third member,
who Is an ultra conservative. There Is.
however, one condition to note, person
ally LI and Chang have tieen enemies,
.he world will probably have a fine
chance to learn whether these two great
leaders in western ideas In China will
sink out of sight their personal differences
and work together for the reformation
and consolidation of the empire. In an
imperial proclamation now being sent to
tne various governors th emieror frank
ly bemoans "the present great troubles
of the empire." and summons his subjects
to invest In the bonds of the new nation
al loan In order that he may be relieved
from financial care in the midst of Inter
national complications.
On May 3 the extraordinary announce
ment was made that Prince Kung, who
was previously reported to have expired
on May J. was still alive. It was said that
the prince had lapsed Into unconscious
ness, and that the Chinese doctors In at
tendance had mistakenly pronounced htm
dead. It was added that the prince had
since awakened, but that his condition
was critical.
MISSIONARIES IX CHINA.
Shanghai. May 20. tCorrespondence of
the Associated Press.) After the Chlno-
Japanene war several reform clubs were
projected by Influential Chinese, looking
toward the renovation ot Chinese poli
tics. One of these societies was gather
ing the power when It overshot the mark
and was summarily annniilated by the
throne. At the present a formidable
organization of progressive Chinese Is
being organised throughout the empire.
It Is to le analogous with branches In
each city and town. In ono sense It Is
progressive, and in another It Is retro
gressive. The correspondent has reliable
information from most prominent sour
ces that the organisation has tho patron
age of the most prominent men in the
new China. The hopeful feature about
this patriotic association is that its car
dinal principle Is the preservation of the
empire. Patriotism has almost been de
funct for years, and this is an attempt
to arouse the people. The reactionary
features of the movement Is the hatred
of all things foreign. The organization
was launched by lO.nnO literati assembled
! recently at Peking for the examination for
d.K-tor's degrees. There aro thirty ar
ticles and twenty-five by laws for the or
ganization, and the preamble Is as fol

They are to protect tho territory, the
people and the religion. Each local club
Is to become the center of a system ot
preaching. This idea is copied bodily
from the methods of missionaries In
spreading Christianity.

hundred soldiers left Camp Merritt

steamers which are to tak

presented an exceedingly busy scene,
but there was an air of orderly excite
ment over the whole. Th men who
have been waiting so long for the or
der to embark were delighted .at the
chance to prepare for the voyage and
prospects of going to the front. One
by one the different companies took
their departure, and It was nearly
noon when the last soldiers left.
The steamers China and Colon are
lying at the Mall dock and the men

art.ilery. and half of the Eighteenth
regular Infantry.

third regiment. Infantry, and a portion
of the Eighteenth. At the Pacific street
