brought about one Of the numerous de-
gradations of Ii Hung Chang.
One of the great objects Of Hangs
policy was to bring about honesty in the
financial affairs OF the mepire. The En-
press Dowager was the greatest thief of
public moneys, and it was Hangs bold
ness in this direction that led TO mis- final
downfall.
In 1S7 the sum of S42. 900 900 was set aside
aside for the creation of a navy. After
five battleships had been partly paid for
the Empress Dowager appropriated the
rest. spending Il large sum on the repair
of the Eho Garden. Later another $i2,-
900, 600 was set aside for the construction
of railroads, which she also largely mis-
appropriated.
The Empress Dowagers right hand man
was a sham eunch named Ii Luen Yen.
This remarkable person was a bitter enc
my of MI Kang. No one could get any
| thing out OF the Dowager Empress with
out greasing Lis palm very literally, and
when she reeained supreme power he be-
came practically The Prime Minister Of
! the Empire.
At every step Kang was impeded by the
Empress Dowager. aided IS he says, by
| Russian Vaccinations. At the very mo-
ment when the principles for which ne
/ had fought seemed triumphant she pre-
| cipitated his downfall.
He realizes now. although blissfully ig-
norans at the time, that for weeks ne
was living on volcanoes brink, but 50
! secretely and silently were the antagoh-
! lists forces directed that he had suspected
no approaching climax. He says that ne
had just succeeded in checkmating Russia
! by securing Britain in the possession Of
| Weihawei and was preparing for yet
/ holder stroke Of pro-British policy when q
! servant placed in his hand q secret mes
sage from the Emperor, advising him 70
leave Picking al once, because his per-
sonal safety was in eminent danger
This was no new experience for him and
/ he paid little head 10 the warning, except
I 10 strengthen his personal guard Three
/ days later there came a second private
message from the Emperor urging him 10
ay without delay. as he himself was IL
/ the hands of his enemies and would be
/ deposed. while for Kang W wei deata
! would be the portion.
\ glance about the court convinced the
| astute reforner that his enemies we're
many and his friends few. and he vas

hour after he had caught British steam
er bound down the coast
None Of these things were known TO him
until of Woo Sung the steamer on which
BANDS launch (acting Consul General
Brennan at ShanghaD, and he and his
party were transferred 10 the Ballarat,
with an armed British escort for Hong
Kong Then it was he learned death
would have received him at Shanghai;
that six of his associate reformers mad
already been beheaded, and that his clos
est friend, Chung Yum How. Ambassador
to the Queens jubilee and ex-Minister TO
the United States. had been exiled to the
interior mines under life sentence
It was then, too, he learned the whole
truth about the ingenious plot Of the En-
press Dowager and her associate eonspir-
ators. This was to charge him with pio-
ssning the Emperor. his best friend. 10
arrest and execute him. and then 10 pol
son the Emperor and produce the body
with public mourning, The affection of
the Empress Dowager's party for the
throne would thus be arrested. thei-
prompt administration of justice iIlustrat-
ed, while Hangs name and plans would
go into history covered with dishonor. and
family and immediate supporters would
be extermina ted. The plan, he admits,
was superlatively ingenious. Its success
would have been certain but for the quiet
interference of Britains diplomats on the
scene.
1t was the Asetaoin taonao tinivbgk
AS it was, the Empress Dowager sue
ceeding in having every one of the re-
form edicts revoked, while she made the
Emperor virtually a prisoner.
Concerning his personal movements,
Kank was inclined to be reticent. His
policy, however he discussed freely. 1t is
the gospel OF thorough reorganization
through the adoption Of European and
American methods. He would have rep
resentative government, national banks,
railways and mine operation by the most
modern methods; free education extending
through all the universities; State-main-
tanned colleges and hospitals; State mints
and d proper system OF graduated COIN
age
With such reform as he projects,
especially in the matter of mine workinfi.
ne predicts that in twenty-five years
China would be the richest 2J we'll as
the most popular county IN the world.
His present hope IS centred solely IN
British Interference. without which he
sees no nope for the bound ana blind
giant of nations" save partition among
the nations built by modern civilization.
On his travels the reformer is accom-
panied by several interpreters, secretar-
les ard guides who combine with these
duties and functions of body guard.
The methods of the Picking Government
are closely akin to those of the Malta, and
the traveller does not know at what mo-
ment the knife of the ASSN may find his
heart

lasted eight hours, exciting intense enger
and jealousy among the high officials.
Under Hangs influence the Emperor
Kwang Su issued a series of eXtraordinl
airy edicts. One of them granted the right
of petition to the throne for everybody,
and said that 1.-The Board of Censors will
hereafter be delighted with the special
duty of receiving and presenting to his
Majesty all petitions that may be pre-
scented by scholars not in office or men
Of the people. persons hitherto not allow
ed to address the throne, except through
their respective Viceroys 9r Governors.
/ The Board of Censors is warne1 not to
put obstacles in the way Of the people
who wish to communicate with His Ma
iesty. for only through such sources can
the Emperor learn the exact state OF al
fairs throughout the empire
This proceeding was regarded as equal
to a revolution by the Conservatives. MI.
! Kang was in great danger, but, never
| theess, he went ahead. He persuaded the
Emperor to sign another edict recogniz-
/ ing the freedom of the press, which was
! issued on Augest 9, 1898. BY it the editors
! of newspapers were granted the special
! privilege of writing on political subjects
