« THE EMPEROR ALIVE. It is reported from Pekin that Chang Van Huan, a member ef the Imperial Council and a rival of Li Hung Chang, has been charged with harbouring Kang Yui Wei (the adviser of the Emperor who prompted the reforms whioh were promised before the present coup Hi'at) and punished by deprivation of offioe,
Kang, .who is under British protection, went on board the steamer Ballarat, bound from Woosung to Hongkong. He left Pekin at the instance of the Emperor, who gave a friendly warning. He ascribes the coup d'iUfi to the Manchu party, led by tbe Dowager Empress, and says it has been agreed that if Russian interests are supported at Pekin Manchuria shall be the seat of the dynasty. The Emperor of China, who was reported to be dead, is in excellent health. He is eager that Great Britain should intervene to restore him to power. There are indications that the British fleet will oocupy Taku, the port at tbe mouth of the Peiho river, which leads from the Gulf of Peohili to Pekin.
