fortune by occupation. His career is
curious and checkered. Educated for the
bar, he developed Il taste for politics ami
finally achieved the position of minister
of the interior i'll the Belgian cabinet.
Deposed from Office by political revcrses,
he took up the study of international
that speciality. Financial difficulties
drove him from Belgium, and he went to
Egypt, where he had brief and unsatis-
factory career as an international jurist.
He then disappeared, and his European
friends heard no more of him for several
years, when he suddenly turned up as
minister of foreign affairs at Bangkok.
Had it not been for the possibility of
foreign interference and for the respect
which is due to foreign commercial inter
ests in Siam, France need not have made
much ado over enforcing her claims on
the peninsula. President Carnot has mt
his command one of the finest navies III
the world and q military force that is
well nigh invincible In view of the ever
imminent European war, it is interest
ing to note the warlike resources of
France.

with IL gendarmerie of about 90 900 men,
On war footing the army numbers
nearly 100000 men, with 13S, 301 horses
and 5000 guns AT the same date the
ironclad navy consisted of 1856 vessels
40 ironclads, 40 cruisers, Al dispatch
boats and 6 gunboats-besides large
number of unarmored cruisers ard troop

The military and naval equipment is Of
the best, and of the discipline and cour-
age of the French forces it is unneces-
sary to speak.
Rear Admiral Edgar Human, i'll COM

mands. The fagshipis the Triomphante,
a single screw armored cruiser of 4,176

Admiral Human was born in Paris
in 1888 and has had brilliant career
in both the diplomatic and naval service.
In. 1887 he commanded the French fleet
at Newfoundland and bore Il conspicu-
Gus part in the settlement of the fisheries
dispute with England i'll that year.
The English fleet in Asiatic waters is
much more powerful than that of France
and is particularly strong in small gun
boats for river service.
1t is curious fact that France was
the first European nation to establish
diplomatic relations with the land of the
white elephant. Louis NV in the sew
enteenth century sent thither an embas-
sador and received u Samese embassy
with great honors ut Versailles. Louis
sought to convert the king of Siam to
Christianity. Unfortunately the present
mission Of the French III Bangkok is less
philanthropic. c. G. HUNT.

THE FRENCH IN SIAM.
THE FIRST NATION TO ESTABLISH
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS.

China's Interest In tho Present Situation
Ii Hung Chang IL Progressive Statesman.
The Siamcsc Minister of Foreign Affairs
and the French Admiral.
The intense interest which China has
manifested in the Franco-Siamese i'm
broglio may be attributed largely to tho
influence of Lii Hung Chang, the viceroy
and practically the ruler of the Celestial
empire. China herself has suffered cori-
ously from French aggression, and
Chang is not the sort of statesman to
forget past injuries. Moreover, China
has cause to dread any augmentation of
French power and influence i'll south
east Asia.
When, nine years ago, France invad-
ed Tonquin and with the modern appli-
ances of war nearly annihilated the
forces Of the middle kingdom, it was a

case of warfare between the nineteenth
and seventeenth centuries. In such o
contest France had an unreasonable ad-
vantage. Now, however, the situation
is changed, and in the event of active
hostilities China would cut no mean fig
ure in the fray
The war in Tonquin was very humi-
iating to the Chinese viceroy, but it
opened his eyes. He saw that it was
idle for mere human strength to con-
tend with the forces of nature which
have been harnessed and directed by
science. Ii Hung Chang is progress

about undermining the military and ma
val equipments of the nation. AS is
usual in such cases, he sought the ship
yards of Great Britain, which have fur
nished war vessels to nearly all the less
er powers of the world. German dock
yards were also patronized, and under
the instruction of European naval off

AS a result China now has navy
which, though it cannot be compared to
the formidable fleets of France, would
prove quite effective for defensive pur-
poses, particularly in the shallow waters
of the Chinese and Siamese coasts. There
are now in active service g ironclads, z
cruisers, 35 ironclad gunboats and tor
pedo vessels of the modern types, be-
sides about 100 other war vessels. many
of which were built i'll Shanghai and

and i'll it's full strength would number

when the yellow flag will float defimtly
in waters remote from the Celestial
Kingdom.
Ii Hung Chang, who has for many
years been the power behind the Chinese
throne, was born in the province of
Anu-Huei Feb. 16, 1928. He was govern
Or of the Thiang-Sin province in 1860
and assisted actively in the suppression
of the Taping rebellion. From that
time he advanced rapidly in Office until
after the Tier-Tsin massacre i'll 1870,
when he was deposed from power on the
charge of failing to assist the general in
command. Two years later he was re-
stored to the Office of grand chancellor
and has since retained the royal favor.
The defensive resources Of Siam are
insignificant compared with those of her
northern ally. She has a standing army
OF 12,0OOmen, which might be augmented
to 100000 in an emergency. The mill
tary and naval establishments have for
several years been in the charge of Euro
pean drill masters, and fair degree of
efficiency has been attained. The navy
consists of two screw steamers of 1000
tons and eight guns each, few gunboats
in Indifferent condition and q number Of
steam yachts.

of the kingdom of Siam are under the
