CHINESE AFFAIRS. China —
Causes of the Revolution.
Dowager Empress of
Qvesec, Sept 29.—John W. Foster, ove of the American commissioners, said vesterday of Chinese affairs: ‘Che situa tion at Pekin appears to be grave, but my conjectures are based on newspaper reporis and knowledge of Oriental character. The Dowager Empress has for years been the real ruler of China. I regard her as one of the most remarkable women of the century. Four years ago, in accordance with Chisese custom, she retired from public lifeon at- taing her sixtieth year. There were grand ceremouials, and great was the satisfaction of the nations who had incurred ber hos- tility.
‘Now it would appear that the situation resulting from tl:e war had led her to as- sert herself once more. She has abiding
faith in Li Hang Chang, and their joint in. }
fluence will be in the future etill further
exercised for the advantage of Russia. It is difficult to conjecture the real fate or position of the Emperor, who leads a life of prison-like seclnsion. His personality is generally known to be weak,and he either showed no inclination to govern or was re-~ garded by greater individuals as a mere puppet.
Pexiy, Sept. 27 (via Shanghai Sept 29) —The developments of palace affairs con- firm the belief that the emperor, by the radical reforms which he had decreed, prepared himself for the blow struck by the Dowager Empress,the successive edicts furnish a history of the trend of affairs. The emperor’s chief adviser, Kang-Y uwei, obtained unbounded infiuence over him and inspired the reforms. The official classes Opposed. him and consulted the Empress as to means to nullify these re- formes.
The current story is that the immediate cause of the emperor’s downfall was that be appeared one day in European clothes. This offence, it appears, was aggravated by the arrival in China of the Maquis Ito, the Japanese statesman which élarmed the palace officials as foreshadowing Japanese dontination in the empire’s councils.
Thereupon the Dowager Empress acted with wonderful promptuess and deposed ber nephew before the Pekin people were aware she had left the summer palace.

NEWs NOTES.
November 24:h next is Thanksgiving day.
The Pope and his friends are distressed because of the difficulty of keeping bis avartwwent warm enough for bim in his old age. Various devices have been tried. Furnace heat has been suggested, but when the Pope heard shat it would cost $180,0(0 to introduce itin the Vatican, with its thousands of rooms, be dismissed the pro- ject with a motion of his hand.
Prince Maximilian of Saxony, who has jast been appointed to the see of Kulm, is the youn zest living bishop. He was born on November 17th, 1870, and is according- lv not yet 28. Duriug his missionary wor ia Whitechapel, London, he acquired a great reputation as an eloquent preacher, and this he has sustained by his recent sermons at the Royal chapel in Dresden. His present appointment is directly due to a sermon he preached last Leot, when the whole court was profoundly affected. His friends predict that he will one day fill the Papal chair.
The Hon. George M. Bowers, U.S. Fish Commissioner, has presented to the Cor nell University a collection of fresh water and salt water fishes nambering between four and five hundred thousand specimens.

It is understood that duplicates of this collection are to be presented to other institutions.
