TO OPEN UP CHINA.
The Objects of Ii Hung Chang Tra-'s
vel Around the World

SHANGHAI, Sept. 4.-Reports are in
circulation here among people of
the highest authority which, il cor
rect, show that the travels of Ii
Hung Chang in Europe are likely to
have in the immediate future most
important effect upon the policy Of
the Chinese Government, and that
the Chinese Empire will shortly be
thrown open to free trade with the
rest of the world.
When the great Chinese states.
man was in England an official at
tached to his staff said the main OBJ
ject of the Viceroy's tour was to
sound European Governments re-.
garding an increase in the customs
tariff of China.
He added that it was understood
that Russia, Germany and France
were favorable to the increase, but
the Marquis of Salisbury wanted
time to consider it, and had brought
forward several important counter
propositions.
What the proposals OF Lord Sails
bury were probably was known to
but few people.
On the other hand, it is asserted
here by people in position to have
accurate Information regarding the
policy of the Chinese Government
that the latter is inclined to concede
the conditions set forth by Lord
Salisbury, and that as preliminary
agreement there will be an increase
in the tariff, all transit dues in the
interior of China will be abolished,
and later on free trade will be es-
tablished throughout the Chinese
Empire,

CONSULATE FOR VICTORIA.

Ii Hung Chang's Plans as Described
to Seattle Chinese-New Minister
to Waship gton
SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 16.-Mark
Ten Suie, Chin Gee Hee and Lee
Yew Glue, constituting the COM
mittee selected by Chinese residents
OF Seattle to wait upon Ii Hung
Chang at Vancouver, have returned.
They were given social welcome
by the Viceroy, who also told them
something Of his plans and purposes
which have not been made public.
AT the close OF Cleveland's admins
trstion, Ii informed them, it was his
purpose to make one of his sons, Ii
Cling Fong, successor to the present
Minister at Washington. Lii Cling
Fong is about 45 years old, is said
to be something Of diplomat and
speaks the English language fluent
ly, often acting as interpreter for
his honored parent.
just before his departure from
American shores, LII told Mark Ten
SUE and Chin Gee Hee that of the
many countries entertaining him on
his around-the- world tour, Russia has
extended to him moro courtesies
than any other nation, the United
States treating him with second
greatest consideration and England
being third in order.
Many efforts were made to obtain
information from Earl LII relative to
Chinese consulates in the North
west, but to Chin Gee Hee, civil
engineer and American railroad
builder, whom the Viceroy stated
would be in short time summoned
to China to aid the Government in
its great scheme OF railroad build
ing, he announced his purpose Of
establishing consulate at Victoria
and possibly, later on, one at
Seattle.
Before his departure from Van
couver, Ii Hung Chang called upon
several leading Chinese who
had journeyed there to pay him
homage and gave them advice.
They were admonished to as far as
possible prohibit opium-smoking
and gambling among their country
meu here; to lead honest lives, abide
by the United States laws and es
pecially to learn to speak the Eng
lish language, on the ground that it
would not only be Of great service
to them while residents OF this coun
try, but would materially benefit
them upon their return to China to
live, which should be the constant
aim and cherished hope of every
good Chinese.

Parliament Clerks and Civil Service.

Popular situations and desirable ones
are clerkships in either house of parlia-
ment. In 1887 the clerk of the house of
commons, Sir Reginald Palgrave, in
troduced the system of limited competi-
tion. There are usually one or two va
cancies annually, and the obligatory
part Of the examination, besides the
usual subjects, embraces constitutional
history and Latin, while the optional
subjects include Greek, French, German
and mathematics, of which subjects the
candidate may attempt two only. The
examination fee is Sc, and the limits of
age are 9 and % years. Clerks between
the ages of 10 and "a, whose parents do
not reside in London or the vicinity,
must be provided with such place OF
residence as shall meet with the APP
prevail of the clerk of the house of COM
mons.
The whole clerical staff in this house
numbers "a, and the salaries run from
e100, the figure at which q junior be-
gins, to e1, 900, at which the remunera-
ton of the principal clerk eliminates.
The staff of clerks in the house of lords
is smaller, but is recruited in similar
way, the only important difference in
the examinations being that French is
in this case compulsory, Italian taking
it's place among the optional subjects.
In the house of lords staff there are Is
clerks, with salaries running from e1O0
to that of the chief, who yearly draws
200. Besides these, many have extra
allowances which run from e25 to e450.
Vacancies occur but seldom. There has
been no appointment made since 1890.

The total number of drunkards in
this country is estimated by the
"Quarterly Journal of Inebriety" to
be 100000. AS there are about 25,-
100000 adults in this country, this
means that one person out of every
fifteen drinks Intoxicating liquors to
excess, that is to say drinks to drunk
enness, and may be, therefore, class
ed as more or less a drunkard. The
Journal thinks that this estimate is a
very modest one, and rather under
the mark than above it.

If VIM. Mckinley is our next presi-

will be the case, the next administra-
ton will not be, from social point of
view, very brilliant one. Mrs. Nc
Kinley, according to sketch in the
Sunday Globe, has been an invalid for
years and necessarily excluded from
all participation in social gaities. But
the devotion of her husband, and her
qualities of mind and heart have made
their married life of 25 years thor
oughly happy one. They have no
children, two having died in infancy.
Their home life is described as simple
and unpretentious, and every hour
that Mr.. Mckinley can spare from
business or politics is devoted to his
patient, suffering wife. Mrs. McKin-
ley is a great reader of the newspa-
pers, and has been sagacious advis-
er of her husband, and valuable aid
in his political life.

cular portion of the intcstines of ami.

portion IL then permitted TO remain for
a suitable time i'm u solution OF pcpsin,
when the fbcrs are found to- be semi
digostcd. Tho substance Is then treated
with gallic acid and tannin. Large
surfaces from which the skin has been
removed by disease or accident
may be healed In a short time by means
OF this tissue. II Is prepared and laid
upon the raw surface. which has pre-
viously been stcrilizcd and l. vcry light

tissue and the surface takes place In a
little while, and the tissue forms "a
coating that answers the purpose of the
skin to n degree better than any known
substance, and IL likely. when still
further perfected. entirely to remove
the necessity for skin grating.
