SI province was due to distressing conditions at Tat Yuen Fu There is a scarcity of food supplies In the province of Shen SI on account of the longcontinued drought and the provincial capital Tal i Yuen is almost deserted the tradespeople having left on account of the disturbances disturb-ances caused and continued for months by the Boxer rebels who had Invaded that province with the encouragement Of Gov Yu Their Majesties therefore were I obliged to proceed to Sin Yan where telegraphic communication with Shanghai Shang-hai and other parts of the empire Is t1e opened and rapid communication with their Majesties may therefore be carried car-ried on and thus court and official business may be transacted more cx lied I tioush y FEAR THE ALLIED FORCES The reasons for the

last week The only difficulty he apprehends Is in case the foreign Ministers seek to designate certain I cer-tain parsons who shall be punished In addition to those which the Government Itself may
