CHINA’S RULERS
VACATE PEKIN
Emperor and Empress Throngh
Fear, Desert the Royal Palace.
MORE COMPLICATIONS ARISE
Efforts of Allies to Have Them
Return Prove Unavailing.
Destination Is Singan.
A Washington special says: Minis
ter Wu has advised Secretary Hay of
the receipt of a dispatch from the
sonthern viceroys stating that the im
perial court is en route from Tai Yueu
to Singan, where the imperial estab
lishment will be set up.
The minister is also officially ad
vised that Viceroy Pu, of the province
just vacated by the court, has been
impeached by the anti-foreign element.
The effort to induce the Chinese im
perial court to return to Pekin has
failed after a week’s persistent effort
on the part of the powers. News to
that effect was brought to the state de
partment by the Chinese minister,
who received it via St. Petersburg
from Viceroys Liu Knn Yih and Chang
Chili Tung, under date of October 4.
Mr. Wu received the message Sunday
night. It was as follows:
“The departure of their imperial
.majesties for Shen Si (province) was
due to distressing conditions at Tai
Yuen Fu. There is a scarcity of food
supplies in the province of Shen Si on
account of long-continued drought,
and the provisional capital (Tai Yuen)
is almost deserted, the trades people
having left on account of the disturb
ances caused and continued for months
by the boxers who had invaded that
province. Their majesties, therefore,
were obliged to proceed to Shen Si,
where telegraphic communication with
Pekin and other points of the empire
is open and rapid communication with
their majesties may therefore be carried
on. Thus court and official business
may be transacted more expeditiously
by their presence in Shen Si rathdr
than in Shan Si.
“The reasons for the temporary post
ponement of their majesty’s return to
Pekin are the presence of the allied
forces there, on account of which so
licitous fear is doubtless entertained,
besides a dread of the outbreak of epi
demic diseases which usually follow
after great disturbances, destruction !
of property and military operations, i
It is hoped that the powers will be
deliberate in their judgment iu the
matter.”
The important feature of the con
cession is that the court is restrained
by fear of the allied forces returning
to Pekin. The movement takes the
emperor and empress dowager about
300 miles further away from Pekin,
though, according to the statements
contained in the message, by reason of
direct telegraphic communication with
Shanghai, the court will be near for
purposes of negotiation with the out
side work.
It is said that there are no Boxers in
the newly chosen territory. As the
dispatch was dated four days ago, it is
taken that the trip of the imperial
party began prior to that time. It
will be slow and tedious, overland
most of the way, with a short stretch
of river navigation.
Singan was formerly the place of
imperial residence, and the ancient
palaces are still there. The only dis
quieting feature of the move comes
by Spanish advices that the new point
of location is strongly fortified, which
is some indication that the imperial
family is still in flight, and is seeking
a stronger defense; but the friendly
viceroys and Minister Wu do not share
iu this view.
The minister considers the question
of punishments practically disposed of
by edict of the emperor and the Ger
man and American notes exchanged
last week. The only difficulty he ap
prehends is in case the foreign minis
ters seek to designate persons who
shall be punished in addition to those
which the government itself marks
for punishment. Snoh a course by
the ministers, he says, would be hard
to comply with.

The common hen lays about 500 or
600 eggs In ten years. In'the first
year the number Is only 10 to 20; In
the second, third and fourth 100 to

to 10 In the last year.
What Will Become of China?
None can foresee the outcome of the quar
rel between foreign powers over the divis
ion of China. It is interesting to watch the
going to pieces of this ancient but unpro
gressive race. Many people in America are
also going to pieces because of dyspepsia,
constipation, blood, liver and stomach dis
eases. We are living too fast, but strength,
vigor and good health can be retained if we
keep off and cure the above diseases with

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
bv local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is cniy one
way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is In
flamed you have a rumbling sound or Imper
fect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflam
mation can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an In
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for

Notes Front the Paris exposition.
‘‘The Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, ol 149 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very creditable exhibit
located in Group XIII., Class 79, at the
Paris International Exposition, where
they show to great advantage the cel
ebrated Singer Sewing-Machine which
is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac
turing purposes. The writer was
highly pleased with this display and
observed with much satisfaction that
it was favorably commented upon by
visitors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by
the International Jury to Singer Sew
ing-Machines for superior excellence
in design, construction, efficiency and
for remarkable development and adap
tion to every stitching process used
in either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action of
the Internatioual Jury at the World’s
Columbian Exposition, In Chicago,
where Singer Machines received fifty
four distinct awards, being more than
were received by all other kinds of
sewing machines combined.
Should It be possible that any of
our readers are unfamiliar with the
celebrated Singer Machine, we would
respectfully advise that they call at
any of the Singer salesrooms, which
can be found in all cities and most
towns in the United States.”
