that at the very time when the Triple Alliance

years of Prince Bismarcks administration. and

POWER AND HONOR FOR Ii.

The Grand Old Man of China has returned
home In triumph. In his unique progress
around the world he received such attention
as few men Of any rank have enjoyed. He
now receives the highest honor and is invested
with the greatest power any man In China
can have, apart Of course. from the Emperor.
He used TO say half-bitterly, alphabetically,
that with all his power. he was not a Minister.
but might be dismissed from every place he
occupied at any moment by single Ministerial
word. That complaint can be made no longer.
He has become not only a Minister, but the
greatest Of all the Ministers. filling a place
hitherto reserved for a near kinsInan Of the
Emperor himself. He has reached the zenith
Of his career. from which, il Is earnestly to be
hoped, he will not for many a year go to his
setting.
The announcement that he has been made
Minister for Foreign Affairs means, nndonbt-
edly that he has been made President Of the
Tsung-li Yamen. There are, strictly speaking,
no Ministers or Secretaries Of State In China
as In most other countries: or else there are
many more of them The Government Is man
aged by number OF Boards, or Yamens each
consisting Of about half n dozen members
Thus there Is the Board Of Imperial Archives,
which sees to II that nothing is done con
trary TO the traditions Of the dynasty There Is
the Board Of the Imperial Household. and there
Is the Council OF State. or all the best known
10 the outside world. and. indeed. the most
important. so far as China's progress In do
nestle development and external relations are
concerned. is the Tsung-li Yamen or Board Of
Foreign Afrairs. or il Prince KunG. the En-
perors uncle, was made President In 1894
while the Vice President. Chang Ylon Houan,
was chosen to be- peace envoy to Japan-on n
fruitless missiOnin tn middle of the war. and
while il Hung Chang was in temporary dis
grace. All the members Of these Boards are
Ministers Of State. But the President OF each
Is somewhat more influential than the other
members. and II Is confidently to be expected
that Lii with his great knowledge Of the world
aud with his tremendous force OF personality
will make himself supreme ove- the Tsungl
Yamen, and be. indeed far more than any one
else has ever beeD Foreign Minister Of the En-
pire
/ This is a pleasing fact for more reasons than
one. II IL an honor well deserved by the ablcst
statesman China has produced In the present
