In 1868, in quick succession, he was
made acting and then full Imperial
Commissioner for Foreign Trade. In
1864 be was appointed Imperial Ex-
aminer for the NJ. A. degree in King
nan. The next year saw him pro-
NOTED from the rank of general to that
of Sole Imperial Commissioner over
the army in his province. Other
office followed. He put down insur-
rections in Shantung and Husan and
the Mohammedan rebellion in Kwei
Chow.
In 1870 ne was made Viceroy of
Chih- lie, which important and lucra-
tive office he has held ever since. The
Chinese civil service restricts an OIL
cial to one term of three or four years
in one Office, excepting in cases of con-
spieuous merit, when two consecutive
terms ore allowed. The law has been
suspended in regard to Ii in order that
the ablest man in the empire should
retain the most important position.
Since then his duties as Viceroy and
Major General have been increased by
his appointment as supreme advisor
to the throne, trade Commissioners,
resident of coast defense, vice-2resi-
dent of the Board of Admiralty, direc-
tor general of railways and Minister
of Foreign Affairs, not to speak of
teIIigibIe to American readers. He is
said to hold fifty offices and to keep up
his literary studies as distinguished
scholar of the Hanlin class.
In addition to the prodigious work
necessitated by these numerous hon
ors he has found time TO institute and
organize arsenals, a naval school,
torpedo school, military institute,
telegraph school, "a medical college

of opposition from the conservatives,
so excited as to threaten his life, be
put through the measures by which
the telegraph was introduced into
China and thereafter aided in its ex-
tention, until, sitting in his palace at
Teintsin, he could communicate by
wire with every leading city in the
empire and even with such insignifi-
cant places as the cities in Formosa
and the miserable little capital OF the
Pescadores.
In the opposition TO the telegraph
lots of queer things occurred. Much
trouble was experienced by people
stealing the poles and wire, and more
trouble by old men who hanged them
selves to the poles in order that their
ghosts might haunt the people sup
porting this devilish Innovation. Spe-
cial laws or ordinances were passed,
. whereby any one 1Ounu Win Ieie-
graphic material in his unlawful pos
session should be beheaded, and ''any
one found in the neighborhoo0, with
intent to commit suicide on tele-
graph pole or with a wire, or by
means of telegraph material" shou Id
be decapitated as criminal offender
of the first claas. Some thirty old
persons were treated in this simple
( but effective style, and then the teie-
/ graph became as sacred as the tomb
/ OF an ancestor.

of Chang Chih Tung, the famous Gov
ernor- General of Human and Hupeh,
no other public man in the empire has
the knowledge, ability and energy re
quired by the appointment. That this
new office should be created is sur
prise to both natives and foreigners. 1t
is unknown to Chinese pslitics and Ju-
risprudence. There have been dlcta-
tors before, but they became so by
force of circumstances in times of civil
war or invasion by foreign armies,
when the monarch was a fugitive, a
prisoner, or an infant Incapable OF
holding the reins of government.
The dictatorship means much more
than appears on the surface. 1t I'M
plies that the ruling family acknowl-
edges itself incapable of meeting the
present crisis. The T-sung lie Yamen,
or imperial cabinet, of which at least
one half are inimical to the great
Premier, have no confidence In thelr
| army and navy, so that the Wonderlul
structure of MOngolian civilization de
pends today upon the genius OF sin
gle man.
In his new post Ii Hung Chang has
reached the highest position possible
| in his country. He becomes the su-
perior of his Emperor, the Son of
Heaven. The later, despite his SEEM
| inc, autocracy, is tied and bound by
| law and custom Half the expert
ences of ordinary mOrtals are inter
| dicted to him. If he should trans
| eress the rules which bind him be can
| be deposed and another man placed
on the golden throne, but the dictator
| has no restrictions nor limitations. La
| the hands of an average mandarin,
! such a promotion, by prompting his
! ambition, might endanger tn" Imper-
! iaI scepter, but in those OF Ii Hung
| Chang no such danger exists. He has
| been tried and tempted before, and on
| each of the two occasions he passed
| through the fire unscathed. Even
! his enemies trust him in this regard.
Lii Hung Chang is "a good illustra-
| ton of how a man can rise step toy
I step in China as in the New World.
| He comes of q good family, but not a
! distinguished one. Two biographers,
who played the part of Boswell to his
! Johnson, failed to find any great
names in mis- pedigree, from which we
may safely infer that there never
were any. He was born February Il,
! 1922, and is, therefore, y years old.
! He bears his age well, and in appear
| ance, working power and general ac-
| tivity, might pass for man OF Do or
| 30. He is of medium height and build
| and has face and features IDaI ap-
! proach the Caucasian type much
! more than do those of the average
! Mongolian. IL manner he IS unfaIl-
/ iDgly polite and suave.
! What his real feelings are he seldom
! discloses. He covers everything with
an urbanity and gentleness that are
| famous throughout his country.
When he took his literary degree, q
sort of Chinese master Of arts, he was
nearly 25, but at the same time he
had already established a reputation
for erudition and power. He received
a small office and there applied The
same principles that ne had 10 his
studies. He progressed slowly, but

irresistibly. 1t was not until he was
80, in 1861, during the Taiping rebel
lion, that his merits were perceived
by bis superiors. He was appointed
a Taotai or Prefect of district in
Kiangsu. This province was then a
hotbed of revolt. The new official
saw the importance OF the situation
and worked increasingly until his dis
trict seemed pacified. His success
was so remarkable that in 1862 he was
appointed Acting General of the forces
in and about Shanghai and Sung
kiang.
There he first applied his knowledge
of European affairs by ret aiming for
eigners in his military services. he
began with the Ameri can, Captain
Ward, and others, and, before the re-
bellion was over, had a great staff, OF
which Gordon, Maca artuey, Giguel
aud Bungoveine were the more pro-
minent members. His success during
the rebellion of 1862 and 1868 brought
! him ever growing honors, and with
| these an extraordinary amount of
hard work a splendid worker him
| self, he possessed the rare talent OF
! picking out men of tie same sort as
! lieutenants. In this way he was en-
/ abled to do quickly and thoroughly
| the duties OF a score of officials. In
the summer of 1862 he was male Act
! ing Governor, and three months after
ward full Governor of Kiangsu.

as some new and original figures In fancy
skating.
The "cushlon-bearing" skate Is an
American club skate. with a rubber cush-
ion between the runner and the foot-rest.
by which the rigidity OF the skate Is re-
lieved and the movements OF the wearer
much facilitated. IL is on the same prin-
ciple as the rubber-tire Of bicycle. ana
gives an agreeable elasticity and does
away with clatter and jar when on rough
ice. All skates have lever and clamp
attachments Straps are seen only on
children's skates or FOR girls with weak
ankles.
A pair Of skates with all the latest i'm
movements OF welded steel costs 81, and
when electroplated cost 50.
