is based mainly upon the fact that he
has been the most highly honored of
Cinnamon abroad; but when it is
known that that famous journey of his
around the world was not the trium-
phal progress of successful general,
or even of an accredited envoy, but
rather of one who had been sent out of
China to be got rid of. as for the time
being he was very much in the way, it
will be seen that he was received with
honors to which he was by no means
entitled. And such has been LIS record
from the first. He has been the recip-
lent of wealth and honors which were
not honestly earned-particularly the
enormous riches with which he Is cred
tied. AS the Chinese put it. Every dog
that barks for Ii is fat" But time
usually brings about its revenges. The
Grand Old Man OF China" is at last
about to be subjected to the supreme
test of his life, and, with the powers to

of native shrewdness and good fortune
at court. He is credited with having
saved the life of the emperor on at
least one occasion, notwithstanding
that his sovereign had issued decree
of Punishment against him on account
of his treatment of his chief eunuch.
All Europeans who have met him agree
that he Is well informed and progress 4
i've in some respects, but few regard
him as friend OF the foreigners when
the issue at stake is the liberties of
China.
The fourth favorite of the empress
dowager for peace commissioner, Hsu
Tung, is neither Mantchoo nor Chinese.
but by birth Mohammedan, from GEN.
trail Asia, according to the army rec
ords. He was long stationed on the
frontier, where he gained reputation
for activity, though he is not consider
ed a great military man, as opposed to
any general the foreigners might bring
against him. He put down Moham-
medan rebellion in 1896 and thereby
rose to great prominence, but he has
all along been considered too turbulent
and bloodthirsty for service near the
Chinese capital. OF the Mantchoo and
Chinese commanders prominent in the
Chino-Japanese war very few are still
in command CT China's forces, but one,
General Ma. was quite conspicuous in
the late hostilities, and he may perhaps
be ranked with Hsu Tung in ability.
In reviewing the military men of the
empire, decidedly the most conspicuous
is Prince Tuan, who showed his hatred
of foreigners by persistent attempts to
destroy the unfortunate noncombatants
confined SO long within the walls of Pc
king. He is the grandson of the EN-
peror Taouk Wang, who died in 1856,
and nephew Of Emperor Hien Flung,
who died in 1861, and. like Prince Ching,
a cousin of the present Emperor
Kwang-su. 1t is not at all probable
that one of his sanguinary proclivities
will be allowed to participate in the
peace conference, even if the wary
Mantchoo should place himself within
reach of his adversaries, but it would
be consonant with the empress dow
ayers wishes, doubtless, for him to
take part. His atrocities have placed
him beyond the pale, but the singular
obtuseness of the Mantchoos, which
saw no wrong in seizing the foreign
ministers and holding them as hostages
and felt no apprehension on account of
the unspeakable outrages upon the
Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1899-1903, 1900-09-25

will keep silence, look wise enough and
sit still long enough he may gain rep
utation for great. wisdom. And this
seems to have been the case with Ii
Hung Chang. On the strength of the
battles won by Gordon and his ever
victorious" army, Ii was made govern
Or of Suchau, and afterward Yiceroy of
Chill, in which latter capacity it was
his misfortune to become involved in
the war with Japan in 1S945. Whatev-
er credit the world outside China may
have given him for his part in that
war, it was made manifest that his
services were hardly considered bril-
liant by the court, for he lost his feath-
err and yellow jacket and had to so to
Japan as plenipotentiary in order to
save his reputation, If he had not been
shot in the cheek by fanatic while in
Japan conducting the peace negotia-
lions, he might have lost his head when
he returned to Picking. for the treaty he
signed, Notwithstanding the leniency of
the Japanese on account of his wound,
was about as bad as any that could
have been made for China. But the
wound in his cheek. so to speak, saved
his face" and perhaps his head, so
that he still lives, at the age of rs, to
again lead a forlorn hope for China S
benefit. In this connection, as having
a possible bearing and casting light up
on present developments it may be re-
marked that Ii was accused of having
secret understanding with Russia, by
which that power came into possession
Of Port Arthur and the Liao-Tong as
residuary legatee after Japan had been
| ousted, owing to Russa's protest.
/ Acute observers of the present situa-
ton may detect possible parallel be-
tween the recent action of Russia in
proposing to withdraw her troops from
| Picking and occurrences precedent to
the forcing out of Japan from Port Ar
thur, and also infer therefrom that a
claim will be made by the czar for re-
muneration on account of having taken
this initiative in the matter. At all
/ events there is little doubt that Earl
Lis sympathies, as well as those of his
imperial mistress, are pro- Russian, and
! the other powers may well view. his APP
4 pointment as supreme plenipotentiary
with deep distrust.
There seems to be an opinion outside
China that Ii Hung Chang is the man
4 who stands head and shoulders above
all his contemporaries particularly as a
statesman and diplomat. This opinion

might puzzle the great Bismarck of
China" himself to give his proper title,
he has been SO many times elevated to
high rank and as often degraded, by
being deprived of his valued yellow
Jacket and peacock feather.
1t has been Lii Hung Changes boast
that he was instrumental in putting
down one of the greatest uprisings of
modern times; but when it is recalled
that the men most in evidence in sup
pressing the Chinese rebellion, the Tai
ping, were an American, Frederick G.
Ward and an Englishman, Chinese"
Gordon, and that the latter searched
high and low for the deceitful Ii at one
time, intending to shoot him for double
dealing, Changes statement will have to
be taken with a grain of salt.
The Arabs have a saying that If a man

called "heir apparent" of China. who
was chosen to succeed the present en-
peror, Kwang-su is the son of a royal
prince attached to the cause of the en-
press dowager. The succession is alto
gether a family and not an Individual
affair, and that is what makes it SO pc
culiarly interesting.
The Chinese have also been very
chary in bestowing their patents of no.
bility, and they are never perpetually
hereditary. In each succeeding genera
ton the rank diminishes, until at last
the ennobled ancestor becomes mere
memory, as the family joins the COM
mon herd again, and if there are in the
future any mobiles they must gain their
titles by their own deeds.
There is one exception to the rule,
and that is in the family of the revered
Confucius, whose dukedom has de-
scended to each direct heir for more
than 1000 years, and the Duke Kung Of
today lives on the same land his great
ancestor once occupied.
Even in the royal family the imperial
descendants lose one degree in each
generation, until in the fourth they
have reached the level of the common
people. But thereafter. while they may
not have official titles, they are per-
mitted to wear the yellow girdle and
are known as huang daizas, or yellow
girdlemen of royal descent, the capital
city being well supplied with them.
Some of the Chinese boast of their de-
scent from the house of Han, which
ceased to reign LOO years ago, but the

HIS LAST MESSAGE.

Mr.. Treves, the celebrated English
surgeon who went to South Africa to
look after Tommy Atkins, tells some
curious stories of his experience, mostly
illustrating the stoicism of the common
soldier. One day he found soldier In
hospital, wounded to death, his nurse
kneeling, with pencil and paper, by his
side Wouldn't you like to send
message to anybody in PARTICULAR" she
asked. I'D like to send one to my
girl" said the soldier. What shall /
say?" asked the nurse, with pencil
poised For few moments his emo
lions struggled for literary expression.
"Give her my kind regards" he said.

had the pleasure of melting out punish
ment to the unfortunate "reformers"
whom the empress dowager so cruelty
suppressed. He promptly beheaded all
he could catch. and upon the leader,
Kang Yu Wei, who escaped, he passed
the sentence of "ling-chee," or "slic-
ing" which has never been revoked.
He was the Weyler of the Boxer upris-
ing, it is said, and hesitated at no kind
of atrocity that human fiendishness
could suggest.
