AT THE FRONT
OUT OF LONG RETIREMENT IL- !
LUSTROUS CHINAMAN HAS
EMERGED TO TAKE
PART IN AFFAIRS.
(By Associated Press.)
Peking, Nov. 2.—(By Mail.)—Prince
Ching. who has suddenly cope out of
long retirement to participate in the
negotiations concerning the rights the
deposed Manchu dynasty is to enjoy
under the prospective re-establish
ment of the monarchy, was for many
years one of the most important fig
ures iu Chinese politics.
(He has been living quietly at Tien
tsin and was summoned to Peking to
look after the interests of the deposed
boy emperor who is living as a pris
oner in the Forbidden City at Peking,
Prince Ching was born in 1839, and
when 13 years of age was adopted by
grandson of Emperor Chien Lung,
and was continually advanced until
1908, when, upon the death of Em
peror Kuang Hsu, he was admitted
to the rank of a hereditary prince of
the first order. Many of his sons
and daughters have married into the
Chinese royal family.
In Manchu circles, therefore, Prince
Ching is a person of very great conse
quence on the ground of family ties
alone. In addition he is exceedingly
wealthy and for many years was the
most powerful minister in Peking. In
April, 1884, he became president of
the Tsungli Yamen, the old board of
foreign affairs, and in that capacity
his name is associated with many of
the outstanding events of China’s re
cent history.
There was, in fact, a period of
many years when practically nothing
could be done without Prince Ching’s
cognizance and help, when his front
door was a market place at which ap
pointments, promotions and conces
sions were bought and sold, when
his favor was the passport that open
ed the most intimate and closely
guarded portals, when his frown
meant ruin to the most elaborate
schemes. And now, after a period of
retirement and comparative unim
portance, he re-emerges again to “put
through” what may well prove to be
the last big deal of his life.
The terms on which the Manchus
abdicated, the "favorable treatment”
agreement that Prince Ching Is going
to revise, included a stipulation that
'after abdication the emperor should
be allowed to retain his title and
should receive from the republic the
respect 'dire to a foreign sovereign.
Article two arranged that the throne
should receive from the republic an
annuity of Taels 4,000,000 (56,600,600
Mexican) until the establishment of
a new currency, when the sum should
be 54,000,000 (Mexican.) By article
three the emperor was to be allowed
to reside temporarily in the imperial
plalace, but was later to remove to
the Eho Park, retaining his bodyguard
at the same strength as hitherto. Oth
er articles allowed him to continue
to perform the religious ritual con
nected with the imperial ancestral
temples and mausolea, which were to
be protected by guards provided by
tbe republic to retain his retinue as
hitherto, appointing, however, no
more enumlch; to enjoy possession of
Ms private property under the re
public’s protection and to retain the
Imperial guards, which, however,
were to be placed under the control
of the department of war.
The imperial clansmen were to re
tain their titles and private property
enjoy public and private rights on a
