Peking, 21st March.
Prince Ching strongly advocates economy and retrenchment and has memorialised the Empress Dowager to abandon her pilgrimage to the Eastern Mausolea, suggesting the appointment of some high Minister to sacrifice there in her Majesty's stead, The Prince has also strongly opposed the repairing at the present time of the Eho Park Palace on the ground that it is not an urgent matter. All this has greatly angered the Empress Dowayer against Prince Ching, in consequence of which the Grand Secretary Yung Lu's influence with her Mujesry is now greater than ever.—Our correspondent.
