The intrigues and aggressions in Corea and
the consequent war with Japan were undertaken
against his earnest protests When the storm
broke, however, he was held responsible for the
conduct OF the wsr. He did his best, but the
utter rottenness Of the whole Chinese military,
naval and administrative systems were too
much for him Disasters crowded thick and
fast upon each other and he. most unjustly and
unreasonably was blamed for them all. He was
even accused by his enemies at Court of being
In the pay Of Japan. The Emperor was pre-
vailed upon to deprive him of his yellow jacket
and peacock feather and to put another In com
mand Of the imperial forces. This change, how
ever, only made matters worse, and all his
orders dgnties and authority were quickly re-
stored to L. and he was commissioned to ne
gotiate terms of peace with Japan. About

THE NICEROY.

Ii Hung Chang has often been called the Vice
roy Of China. but incorrectly. He has been
since ISL or was until recently. Vioeroy of Pc
Chilli; nominally of no higher rank greater
power than the Viceroy Of any other province In
the Empire. But PeChi-Li is the province
in which the Imperial capital, Picking. is stu
ated. he has practically had much greater power
and closer relations with the Emperor than If
he had been ruler of a more remote region.
Apart from that circumstance. his prc-eminence
in Imperial affairs has been entirely due TO his
own ability and force OF character He has
never until recently been a Minister Of the En-
pire. He has practically controlled tho foreign
affairs Of China, yet has never been Foreign
Minister even a member of the TsungLi-
Yamen. He has been the head. practically. Of
the War and Navy departments. the Home and
Colonial departments the Postal and Tele-
graphic departments; in fact. of all the bureaus
of the Government rolled into one Yet there
never has been moment when with n single
stroke Of the pen he might not have been dis
missed from all his offices, deprived of all his
power and retired to private life
