EMPEROR'S FEARS
CHINESE EX-RULER. SHELTERS IN LEGATION. CONFLICTING INTERESTS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received Dec. 1, 11.25 a.m. PEKING, Nov. 30. The ex-Emperor Hsuantung has taken refuge in the Japanese Legation, where he is remaining. There does not seem to have been any cause for him to fear immediate danger, and his own action probably is due to recent persistent rumours of impending trouble in Pekin, at the instance, of ling Yuh Siang, according to whom the safety of Chang Tso Lin and Tuan Chijui was imperilled through Feng Yuh Siang’s disappointment at not securing an important post in the new Government. Obviously Hsuangtung had not the slightest reason to fdar danger at the hands of Chang Tso Lin or Tuan Clii Jui, but if a clash occurred between Feng Yuh Siang and Chang Tso Lin the immediate result would be Feng Yuh Siang’s resumption of the control of Peking, as his troops largely outnumber the Fenlctieners. The situation would then represent one of the gravest peril to Hsuantung. The Legations were quickly made acquainted with this development, which seems .to have been carried out solely on Hsuantung’s initiative.
