Adams’ .Market 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 1898- ESTABLISBED COMPANIES. Continental Ins. Co. FideUty-Pnenix Ins. Co. .. ..
