The horseshoe wall forming the ancient gate was crowded with Europeans diplomats, army otllcers, missionaries, ladies, photographers and correspond ents. When the emperor and the dowager empress arrived at the temple, the pro cession halted, and their majesties alighted from their chairs, which were covered with imperial yellow silk and lined with sable. The emperor pro ceeded to the Temple of the God of War. on the west side of the plaza, with hundreds of foreigners peering down only forty feet above him, and dozens of cameras were focused upon the son of heaven. Then the chair of the dowager em press was brought to the doorway of the Temple of the Goddess of Mercy, on the east side of the plaza, and the dowager empress appeared. Amid a great scuffling of attendants she pro ceeded into the temple on the arms of two officials, followed by a company of Buddhist priests bearing offerings. The spectators then heard the booming of the temple bell. After an interval of Ave minutes the dowager empress reappeared. Stand li2 in the doorway of the temple, she looked upward. Directly overhead Were the German minister, Pr. Mumm Von Schwartzensteln, and the secreta ries of the German legation and the dfflcers and ladies from the American garrison. The dowager empress saw the foreigners and bowed low. She advanced a few steps and bowed again In acknowledgment of the salutations of the foreigners. She returned to her Irtialr, looking upward to the semicircle of foreign faces and bowing repeat edly. The expression of the dowager em press seemed almost appealing as she uced those who had humbled her from fcer former arrogance and confirmed tho Impression that she Is returning to Peking with anxiety for her safety. In the meantime the Chinese sol diers, Mantchoo bannermen and minor Officials who had crowded the plaza Were reverently kneeling. The two arches at the sides of the ancient gate way framed hundreds of faces of Chi nese coolies who, emboldened by the presence of foreigners, ventured to gaze upon their rulers. This incident constituted n most sharp contrast with the old regtmo, when neither diplomats nor natives were permitted to view the Ijassage of royal personages along the Streets. The streeta from the Machlapo stn Hon to the gateway of the Forbidden City, a distance of four miles, were swept and garnished early In the morn ing. The great plaza between the tern pies of Heaven and Agriculture were sprinkled with yellow sand. Residents Were compelled to remain indoors. The soldiers and the police formed a close cordon along both sides of this entire distance. Lockjaw From Vaccine Vlrns. BELVIDEUE, N. J., Jan. 8. Dr. Frank P.

SAN FKANt'ISCO. Jau.4-0. T French bark Max. which collided with the steamship Walla Walla early on Thursday morning, has been towed to this city' in a badly disabled condition by the steamer Acme and the United States revenue cutter McCulloch. Tho Max's bowsprit was canted away, nnd her bow was stove In both above and below the water line. Her water tight compartments alone were keeping her afloat. Ninety-two survivors of the Walla Walla arrived here yesterday from Eu reka on the steamer Pomona. There Is still some discrepancy in the list of dead and missing. This discrepancy is duo to the fact that several passengers bearded the vessel just as she was leaving port. Others who were travel ing second class gave assumed names In order to hide their Identity. By striking out what are possible dupli cates the number of lost stands at forty-two, classed as follows: Known dead, 0; missing, passengers, 13; crew.

Mr. Morgan offered and secured the adoption of a resolu tion which Indicated his purpose to have the committee on interoccanlc canals inquire Into the relations al leged to exlBt between the transconti nental railroad companies of the Unit ed States and Canada and the Panama Canal company. In explanation of the resolution Mr. Morgan declared mat the alleged relations were a "wicked monopoly" which already bail cost the people oi the Pacific coast millions of dollars. The relations Involve the con trol by the Panama Canal company of the Panama Uallroad company and the agreement existing between cer tain railroads of the United States and the Pacific Mail Steamship company. At the conclusion of business the senate paid n graceful compliment to Senator Forakerof Ohio by adjourning until 2 o'clock today In order that sen ators might attend the marriage of Miss Foraker at noon without Inter fering with their legislative duties. The debate on the Nicaragua canal bill in the house was opened In lively fashion by Mr. Hepburn, chairman of the interstate and foreign commerce committee, which reported the bill. For two hours he held the floor, reply ing to a volley of questions concern ing the recent offer of the Panama Canal company to sell its property and franchises to tho United States for $10,000,000. The Interest In the de bate centered almost entirely in this new phase of the subject. Mr. Hep burn maintained that the alleged new offer of the Panama company was part of the plan of delay. All his ut terances along that line were liberally applauded. He pointed out what he claimed was the suspicious circum stance that the Panama company held out for $100,000,000 until it was decid ed before the holiday recess to con sider the Nicaragua bill and then sud denly dropped the price to $40,000,000. Mr. Morris (Minn.) gave notice that at the proper time he would offer an amendment to authorize the president ed to pay off the troops of Gen. Pur- covne in 17. The gold was shipped from Quebec in a small sloop, with crew and guard of ten men, the expedition being un der the command of one ( apt. John eon.

How Hubs1iT Prevents Illots, Riots and disturbances are prac tically unknown in all the vast em pire of the czar, stretching, as it does, in an unbroken line from the llaltic to the Paeijjlc. The reason for this is the wise precaution arising from the pop ulation fraternizing with the military, says Pearson's Magazine. The gov pnt distributes the troops in such a way that they have nothing In common with the population. Tar tars are sent to district where there are no Tartar compatriots, the Poles and Little Russians go to St. Peters burg, the Caspian regiments to Kron stadt thousands of miles from home and the purely Russian troops are stationed in Poland, Caucasia, Finland or any other district that might pos sibly cause the government trouble.
