naval defence has Ii, contrary to the
most violent prejudices and established
traditions, attempted 10 introduce west
ern inventions and appliances, but he
founded, and is the leading spirit of, the
China merchants fleet created with the
view of introducing European business
management generally Into the Chinese
system. Far from being a brilliant sue
cess, compared with what has been &C
complished in Japan, still it has been of
service TO China.
Mainly owing to the influence of Lii the
Chinese. government were induced to adopt
the telegraph, which now covers the en-
pire in an directions, to permit the con-
struction of railways, which have been
started whenever and wherever opposition
could DO overcome, and to encourage min
ing enterprise. In the field of education
TOO, he has done good work. The various
schools established by him-military, ma
val, torpedo, telegraph, railway, and last
but not least, medical-are all surely
though silently, unobtrusively and slowly
Erecting a change. And, in all this work
of reform, he has stood a solitary figure
If he has not attempted any sweeping re-
form, he has not taken in hand the re
generation of China" he has at least, in
his opportunist way, introduced the thin
end of the wedge which will shake to the
foundation the abysmal self-conceit and
slavish submission to tradition of the Chi
nese mandarinate. Already the strongest,
ablest, and a one time also most bigOted

A commercial traveller at Liverpool has
taken rise" out Of the clerk at a GER
tain leading commercial hotel, says the
London Telegraph. One day last week he
entered the office. and. banging his fist on
the desk, demanded, angrily:
"Why didn't you have me called at 6
O'Clock"
Il did" calmly replied the clerk.
"You did not, sir"
Il tell you 1 did"
you did not, sir, and I can prove It,"
"All right go ahead; but you can't
prove it,"
Yes, ! can"
Prove it, then"
well, you did not have me called at 6
O'Clock because / did not leave word to
be called at ALL" and the commercial man
grinned, and looked for the clerk to blush
and apologize.
But he looked in vain. A little thing
like that wouldn't bother hotel clerk.

[ treaty and the Fournier convention, Ii did
well for his country, and it would have
been to China's advantage If either had
been accepted and maintained. Neither
pleased the Chinese Jingoes, and the lat
ter treaty was by them wantonly broken
involving China in a years war, an ex-
penditure of sixty million taels, and the
loss Of her feet in the Min (Which 1 wit
neSSed), after which the original terms
obtained by Ii were perforce accepted.
1t is commonly believed, in this country,
that LIS measures of reform" were
largely influenced by the opportunities
offered for ACKNOWLEDGMENT in power
and wealth; that ne only differed from his
brother colleagues in doing thing on a big
ger scale, and that his combination Of
business with craftsmanship has made
him one of the worlds millionaires How
ever he may have acquired the greater
portion of his means, there is no doubt
he is wealthy; but it is doubtful II his
fortune would compare with several
South African millionaires, not to speak
Of dozens is->Europe and America It
seems unnecessary to dwell further on
this subject; we have to examine both
sides Of the medal, and it is the balance
of services we have to arrive at.
As regards LIS military failure in the
Chino-Japanese conflict, il must be re-
nem'bered that the war was forced on
China. He alone, unsupported, had at
tempted anything, and when the old-time
Chinese system failed, and failed misera-
bly,, the whole blame was laid on Ii, and
not NATURALLY, for we all know that
nothing fails like failure.
More might certainly have been accom-
plished by Lii but also less. In estimating
the degree Of success which has attended
his efforts, we must bear in mind that the
temper Of the timesin China has not been
favorable. Had that been kinder the re-
suit would have been very different
