breast and back with double dra gems
in a circle. The Ethree-eyed peacoek
feather is the same which his excel
lency wore during the great banquet
that he gave to Mr.. John W. Foster
during my stay in China.
He had on the yellow jacket and the
peacock feather when we entered the
palace. and kept on the latter until he
sat down to the table, when it was
taken off with the hat In which 1T was
fastened. Ii Hung Chang would be
striking figure in any clothing. He
stands over six feet one inch In his
stockings, and the boots Of black
broadcloth which he wears have soles
OF white wood about an inch thick,
which make him look taller. He wears
long gown OF bright yellow satin,
which falls from his neck to his feet,
and over this he has upon state occa-
sions his yellow Jacket. During one
OF my visits to him his jacket was Of

seal brown velvet, fastened with but
tons Of gold, and at another time he
had what seemed to be a long sealsl1in
coat, with very full sleeves He keeps
his hat on while he is in the house,
and his official hat looks for all the
world like an inverted spittoon, the
brim being turned up all around The
peacock feather is fastened by a but
ton to the top of the hat, and it sticks
far out behind. When not on dress pa
rade Earl Ii wears a fine skull cap Of
black silk, with crown shaped like
hemisphere. When 1 saw him in 1894
this cap had a big solitaire diamond
In the front of it, and a big diamond
ring sparkled on one of Earl LIS long
yellow fingers. He then had on trous-
ers Of rose-colored satin, which were
tied around the ankles much like draw
ers, and I could see that these trousers
were wadded and quilted in order that
they might be warmer. During the
interview some champagne was brought
in, but Ii Hung Chang took only a
sip of this, and I afterward learned
that he did not drink, and that he
don't much believe in intoxicants. He
is great smoker, however. He uses a
Chinese water pipe, a sort of long
stemmed affair with a silver bowl
about as big as your fist, containing
water. Into this bowl is fitted a tube.
which holds the tobacco, and you draw
the smoke through the water before lit
gets to your mouth. When LII Hung
Chang smokes he does not hold the
pipe in his hand. He has a servant to
act as pipe bearer, and every minute
or so the servant pushes the stem of
the pipe into his mouth. LII Hung
Chang takes one or two whifs, and the
servant thereupon takes away the
pipe, while Ii goes on with his talking.
AT DINNER WITH Ii.
Ii Hung chang is not entirely I'M
accustomed to foreign ways and for
eign food. At banquet which I at
tended, both foreign and Chinese
courses were served, and noticed that
the viceroy partook equally of both
He can use a fork as well as chop-
sticks, and during a chat 1 had with
him he told me that he liked mix
ture Of the Chinese and European
diet. He said he believed in plenty of
vegetables, but rather thought that
foreigners ate too much meat. At this
dinner LII had two or three servants
about his chair all the time. These
were ready to obey his every motion
They assisted him in his eating ard in
keeping his dress straight, and from
time to time brought around a steam
ing white cloth for him to mop his
face during the meal. This, however,
is only the Chinese custom, and 1t must
not be understood as indicating that
the great earl was in bad health or too
old to take care Of himself. He Is,
you know, about seventy five, but he
is full Of vitality, and mentally and
physically he is as young as many q
man at fifty. He has both an English
and Chinese physician with him, and
II Is probable that the English phys
ician will continue to administer the
electric baths to his cheeks to which
Ii has been accustomed TOR some years,

Lob. This enabled me to get quite
well acquainted with Mr., 10, and
found him a man Of broal reading
and much information. At one OF our
meetings he talked of Huxley and
Darwin, and he expressed decided op,n-
ions upon the beauties of Emerson
and Carlyle. He is tail Chinaman Of
about forty years OF age, weighing, 1

taste, and, like the Chinese of the let

clothes.
HOW EARL Ii DRESSES.
Ii Hung Chang will be by all odds
the most distingu;sned-lo Chi
nese who has ever come TO the United
States. He has, you know, been again
decorated with the imperial yellow
jacket, and oH state occasions here
he will wear mis- three eyed peacock
