ONE OF cHINA's BIG MEN.
Chang ChIh TuBg, Who Is Held IN
Higher Repute Than Ii
Hung Chang.

Chang as the foremost representative
OF China, but many of the educated
class in that country have given high
er place TO Chang Chin Tung, long a
foremost statesman and author, and
viceroy Of the two great central prov
inces of Human and Hupeh. Perhaps
Chang is not so astute and able as ii,
but his ideas, though advanced and pro-
1 gressive, find greater favor among the
Intellectual classes Of the Chinese. Ia

that favors western nations and the
introduction of their ideas into China.

tive, though he is far in advance Of the
! ultra-Chiuese party who believe that
their empire is the greatest country on
earth and that China has nothing 10

/ ton is the best and be is a devout dis
ciple Of the doctrines Of Confucius, but
he also believes that China may learn
from others and favors the adoption Of
many foreign ideas on commerce and
science. To this extent he has use for
the teachings of the western nations.

sources of their country themselves.
He wants foreign ideas, but not for
