The court yard of the Yaâ€" men is filled with lifeâ€"sized _ paper horses anmd chairs with coolie bearâ€" era which his friends are sending in accordance with Chinese custom, to be buried in order to carry his soul to Heaven. Several of the Minâ€" isters of the powers have called to express sympathy. _ The Chinese officials are somewhat uneasy â€" concerning the effect his death will have on the populace and to guard against & possible antiâ€" foreign demonstration â€" the Chinese |â€" generals have disposed their troops about the city in such a way as to command the situation. _ Trouble, however, is extremely improbable. | Prince Ching in Charge, | The wife of Earl TA and bis two wons and diughter were with him. Thoy are groatly distressod.. Chinese officlals throng the Yamen.Telegrams ; have been sont summoning Prince Ching, who is now on his way to' meet the court, and Chou Fu, Proâ€" vincial Treasurer, from Pac Ting Fu. The former will assume the general charge of governmental aifairs, and the latter will act as governor of | Chili until Li Hung Chang‘s successor | In that office, who will provably be Yuan Shi Kai, is appointed. Attended by an American. Robert Coltman, an American, who is one of the physicians attending Ear! Li, told the corrcapondent of the Associated Pross that, when he was ealled to act with Dr. Velde, of the German Legation, Nov. 1st, he found the patient very weak from a severe hemorrhage due to uleeration of the‘ stomach. "The hemorrhage was readily conâ€" trolled," said Dr. Coltman, "but owâ€" Ing to the underlying condition â€" of chronic gas!{ritis with persistent nauâ€" sea, only the mildest liquid food could be digested. Yesterday he was cheerâ€" ful and without pain, but at 2 o‘elock this morsing he became unconscioug and was no longor able to get rid of the collection of mucous which he had been freely expectorating. Death was expreted, owing to the sympâ€" toms supervening upon gradual carâ€" bolic acid poisoning." Throughout the evening diflb2}7 was frequeatly administered. Earl Li‘s persistent refusals to refrain from attending to government busiâ€" ness acgravated his malady, while the refusal of the family to permit certain measures customary in westâ€" ern moedical practice for relieving the stomach contributed to bring his end.

He was ranked with Bismarck, Gladestone, Gambetta and DAisraeli. His ideas of official morality were hardly up to the European standard, as he was able to amass the greatest forâ€" tune owned by one man in the world by levying tolls for his own benefit the big winners were John W.

Washington, Nov. 11.â€"A change in the Manchurian situation is expected from Li Hung Chang‘s death, and the United States has a very considerable interest in the outcome of the matter. Li Hung Chang was regarded here as strongly proâ€"Russian, and it is possiâ€" ble that his death and the coming into power in China as the Director of Foreign Affairs of another Prince, less friendly to Russia, will hasten the day when Russia must relax her hold upon Manchuria and allow the country to be opened up to the comâ€" merce of the world.

Members of the offending power on the court of arbitration may be erased thereâ€" from, and should the majority of nations signing the treaty approve, «a note of censure may be addressed to the said power.
