To the Editor of the "Nort Catsa Daty News, Sim,—The creation of a new Emperor in the place of Kuang Hsii will force the whole Empire to rebel. The removal of Kuang Hsii will just suit the Empress Dowager and her advisers. They can then ut once take their revenge on the Emperor and kill him, and they can say that it is nut the Empress Dowager who now desires to depose the Emperor, but foreigners. The only way to prevent general rebellion throughout the Empire and also preserve the life of Kuang Hsii from his enemies, would be for the Foreign Powers to threaten to put the young Prince Ch'un, the Emperor's younger brother, on the Throne unless the Emperor himself comes to Peking. Prince Ch'un is at present in Peking under the protection of a foreign army, and if he is pnt on the Throne, the Empress Dowager and her _reactionist advisers will never dare to hurt a hair of the head of Kuang Hsii, the elder brother of Prince Ch'un. The people would firmly believe that whenev-r Kuang Hsti gets to Peking, his younger brother (Prince Ch'un) the new Emperor, would immediately resign in favour of the true Emperor, belief which would prevent the Empress Dowager from killing the temporarily deposed Empetor, for ifshedid s", the new Ewperor would never rest until he killed all his brother's enemies to avenge his death, The appointment of Prince Ch'un as Emperor would be considerd by the great masses as equivalent to Kuanz Hyii himself being on she Throne in te meantime. Prince Chun himself would not fail to resign to Kuang Hsii when he and the Latter met, and this belief would pacify the Empire at lsrze; the appointment of any other person as Emperor would urge the whole country to start up to rescue their sovereign. In fact not only the people hut the brothers and kinsman of Kuang Hsii would rebel. Tt is believed amongst enlightened Chinese that the proposed prochintstion of a new Emperor has been instigated by Li Hung-chang, in order to curry favour with Prince Ching—Li's present colleague at Feking—as the proposed new Emperor, grandson of Prince Kung, is intimately related to Prince Ching; ax T have said such a step would only bring about a general rebellion, in comparison with which the recent troubles and fighting throughout the North would be a trifle, Tam, ete., 12: h December.
