: at ice mistakes Of his sovereign.
When the jacket and the feather were
given back ne rode OFT from PekiEg to his
home, ninety miles away and frolicked a
whole evening with his grandchildren in
the pain little home ne occupies.
Since the war Ii Hung Chaug has taken
up civilized. or, as he calls them. Western
customs. with a zeal he never supposed
himself capable of before. He has tasted
Western cooking and he likes it. He has
had German soldiers in his command, and
he finds them ciear-headed. He has had
French worimen directing his factories,
and never such work was turned out be
fore. His watches are equal to Geneva
works. He hld tried seamen from Eng
land, a-d such seamen he never saw before.
These foreign predictions have made him
unpopular al home, and II is doubtful II he
could now muster such 4 personal calling
as used to be mis-. Chinese Gordon wanted
Ii Hung Chang TO head rebellion and
overthrow the Chinese dynasty. Then ne
could have done it, Now It is doubtful.

''Hcw can | act like a Westerner?"
he asks, when my ancestors have so
richly endowed me with the ancient and
honorable attributes"
In the past few years Il Hung Chang
has built a hundred factories in China.
He has put silk looms there, so that Chi
nese silk. which used TO be so dear, has
become inexpensive, and ne has employed
artists who can work by stencil as well as
by brush SO that Chinese decoration has
been reduced to a mere song.
he candlestick which cost Ii Hung
Chang nine cents to make and which sold
to an importer for 50, is declared no idle
story. This takes place every day. Ii
likes the United States, but he also likes
China If he can get good American 6)l-
lars for himself and his Industries he will
not refuse them. But the Americans are
learning the cost of things, and Ii viii
find his reign of immense profits must
chage to one of fair profit only.
MAKING CYCLES.
Tt is said that Lis last and greatest mer-
camille investment is the making of bicy-
cles. Rumor has it that a hundred thou
sand bicycles made in Japan will shortly
arrive here. They were made on the grant
ed land of Ii Hung Chang. It is untaxed
property and he pays no rental for his
buildings, which were put up by granted
servants at no expense. The materials in
the bicycles cost song and the labor even
less, for Chinese workmen willingly work
for a turnip a day and a dinner of rice.
Those machines, say this rumor, can be
sold here for $13 apiece, such as they are.
That is the way the Ii Hung fortune was
made.
The personal characteristics OF this
statesman are great good humor He is
always good natured, always laughing. 1t
is two years to a day since the Emperor
took away that yellow riding jacket and
deprived him of the priced peacock feather,
and for six months Ii had to appear in
public and direct the army without these
decorations. His soldiers hardly knew
him. His title of Prince. bestowed upon
him a few years ago, was threatened. and
he was TO be deprived Of the guardianship

BUILDING UP CHINA.
China. when Ii Huns Chang rose from
the masses and attended a college, was
an unprogressive country. 1t had
neither railroads. telephones, nor hos
pitals Now it has three, most OF them
owned by Ii Hung Chang.
In China the fact that a man can re-
neat the 10000 verses and can recite
history admits him TO any station OF
Dreferment. All the Emperor's court
would be drawn from such men il there
were enough Of them to supply the de-
m9nd. In the sixties. when China had
IFS embroglio. Ii fought and was speed
ilv raised from enc rank 10 another.
When The var ended he was given a
vbi-s button and a black feather. Thir-
~ years later he got his yellow Jacket
ard his two-eyed peacock feather. That
: tbe greatest example OF quick rise in
chinese history. 1t is always done by
ilIustrious ancestors. Ii is from the
common people.
When Ii Hung Chang comes to this
country in few days he steps foot upon
= soil which it has been his long wish
N visit When he first knew America
he was a poor man, and this country
enriched him. He says: America is
