THE TSUNG-LI-YAME
How it Lost It's Original Arrogance
The Most Powerful Tribunal in

How it Lost It's Original Arrogance
The Most Powerful Tribunal in
China.
1t is only natural, considering the
Chinese contention. officially stated by
Prince Kung in 1860 that there is but
one Emperor who rules over all lands, y
that any administrative provision for
dealing with foreign countries as equals
is of subsequent origin. China, indeed
had a Colonial OfTice--the Linfanyuen--
not. however, one Of the six boards, and
England, France Germany and the
other powers had long been inscribed
on it's books as mere vassals and de-
tendencies.
But the capture Of Picking changed
such humiliating procedure: to meet
the necessities of foreign intercourse
under new conditions a new tribunal
was called into existence, and upon 1t
was bestowed, at Prince Kung's sug-
gestion, the name of Tsung-Li-Yamen.
1t was regarded by the mandarinate as
an evolution from the Linfanyuen, the
second syllable in the title of the new
Foreign Office signifying control, and
serving thus to connect it with the old
department in a fashion soothing to
Chinese pride 1t began with no high
pretenslons, either as to numbers or
prestige, although Prince Kung himself,
the brother of the Emperor, became the
first president. Under him, in 1851 were
only three Ministers, and the accounts
Of some of their early interviews with
the "barbarans" make at this late day
very amusing reading. An instance of
an ordinary interview between the man
darins and foreign emmisary is furn-
ished in the report of Mr.. afterwards
Sir Harry Parkes to Sir Hope Grant.
Mandarins-State the name of your
head man.
Answer-Which one do you mean; the
Ambassador, General or Admiral?
Mandarins (angrily)-You have no
such functionaries. Don't presume to
use such titles. Give us the name of
your head man.
Answer-Which one?
Mandarlns-The head of your soldiers.

New Orleans drummer, land attempted
to commit suicide. He put a pistol to
his head and pulled the trigger, but the
cartridge failed to explode, and before
he could try it again the weapon was
taken away. However, he swore he
would do the deed the first chance he
got, and he was, no doubt really of
that intention, when he was talked out
of it by little itinerant preacher, who
was a reformed gambler. The argu-
ment used by the parson was so pecu-
liar and ingenious that it made deep
impression on my mind
