lie clear to his visitor that %
matter of social custom and convenience
tho voung men had adopted the prevailing
"~.,om Of ,hsir fellow students. But the
~,sndices and traditions of the civiliz d
pss,n could not be more overcome at such
sh6r notice and forthwith he dispatched to
Pskin a letter in which he condemned IN
nnmpasured terms the methods and iftiu-
snccs of the mission. Ha declarad
hat the effect of their sojourn was
10 ALLEVIATE the boys from their
country and its customs, to undermine Tue
most sacred traditional rpciples OF govern

The ambassador Was, however. II huanced
by other reasons, the force of which Yung
Wing was compelled to admit. The letter
above referred to also informed tho home
government tLst the scientific schools and
colleges of America did not furnish prsc'i.
cal industrial education. One of the princi-
pal designs of the Chinese authorizes IN
establishing the mission was to thoroughly
train corps of engineers who would DO aole
10 intro uce and manage complete system
oftex,ile machinery. China is anxious to
compete in the markets of the world in cot,
ton, wooden and other fabrics-a fsld
in which cheap coolie labor "oulc
enable the Chinese to become active
competitors. 1t is claimed, snc
must be to q certain extent admitted, tn,
nowhere in the United States eau suct
practical instruction in these SPECIFIC III
dustrial branches be obtained as is given in
number of European insti IONS The as
sertion, also made by the Chinese emistary
in the early part of his visit, that American
machinery and manufacturing products t'
be seen in the great mills of this country
were inferior to what may be found on th'
other sids of the water will OF course Oh
Indignantly denied by every well informed
American manufacturer. Or his error II
this respect the commissioner has been fully
convinced. He greatly regrets nsVlnt
informed his government that th'
Students we're being crammed with dead Ian
gusges and theoretical science, and he has en
desyored to remove the false impression hrs
created. But IN this he has been almost en-
trely unsuccessful. Tho mischief has beer
dons, and it is doubtful if the effects OF nj
inconsderate action can be removed. In
Chinese authorities have become conVince'
that their special commissioner has beef
tainted with the same dangerous notions tina
has taken possession of Yupg Wing END tn
others The request that the first and unta
vorsble report might be Withdrawn from tn
archives has been refused; the government
perssting in the belief that tgives the rea
act in the case.
SUPERIORITY OF AMERICAN MACHINERY.
10 order to c)unteract, as far as possible
the false i'm oresslon conveyed to his govern
meet the officer has spent some weeks II
collecting evidence OF the superiority o
American fsbrlcs and textile and other ma
ebinery. He this week visited Newbury
port Massachusetts. where several wealth
mill owners have during the past year ex
perimented with Eogish machines an
methods, at an expense of 100000. 1t ha
there been clearly demonstrated that Amerl
ca is twenty-five per cent ahead OF Eoglls
Competitors in producing capacity of tn
mills and in relative cost OF manu-
fscture A lsrge1 mill was equippe
throughout with English machinery an

for Ave years and superintend the further e'
Enlistment of industrial enterprise. Spec
mems of American hsndiwork In watch ms

BY the chief commissioner to be taken wit
him on his return to China and corrobors'
evidence of industrial progress in tn
country.
