REFoRMERS IN CHINA.
The Empires Hope Lies in the New
Generation.


]. T. lIadllnd, in Ainslccs.
Some have tendency to say that
the present troubles in China arose out
of the missionary question. This is
an extremely narrow view, and it in
dicates that the one who holds 1t knows
nothing back of what has occurred
during the past year. The present
troubles are the last efforts of the old
Conservatives to preserve the condi-
tions which have existed in China for
four thousand years.
] have number of friends among
the young scholars, first, second, third
and fourth graduates. They are
young men who have studied English,
and who have started English schools.
Thei.' schools have been destroyed by
the Conservatives. and for the past
two years they have been out Of en-
ployment. All of them, SO far as I
know. are still pursuing the same line
of study. confident that conservatism
is a thing of the past that reform
must come. and when II does come they
will be ready for it. Such men are
of the class of Minister WI Ting-fang,
10 Feng-lo, and Mr.. Yu, Minister to
l. d
days before he sailed for France. Dur
ing our conversation / alluded to the
attempt he had made to entertain some
foreigners on New Years day, and to
serve them with tea, coffee, wine and
cakes.
"The Conservatives of the Tsungli
Yamen would not allow you to enter
tain the foreigners on New Years Day
as you wished" ! said.
NO. he replied, but this will not
continue. The world is rapidly slip
ping out from under these old mems
feet. There are not any strong men
among the young Conservatives. They
are simply hangers-on, and when these
few old Conservatives die, China can
easily be reformed"
The Wife of Mr.. Yu is F,urasian wo-
man. His two daughters dress in Eu-
ropean clothing when they go calling
in Peking. They converse freely in
Japanese, Chinese, French and Eng
lish. as do also his sons On one oc-
casion some of the old Conservatives
went to the Empress Dowager and
said to her:
do you know that the man whom
you have had as Minister to Japan,
and whom you are about to appoint as
Minister to France has foreign wife,"
Has he any children?" the old
dowager asked in return.
YES. indeed, he has grown sons and
daughters"
"rhen it is late in the day to report
him to me. Why did you not report
| him before? We cannot separate a
| man from his wife and family even
| though she is a foreign devil"

 ''I don't see where you keep your eyes if you haven't noted the decera- tions."
 q keep my eyes in my head, you fool you, where do you suppose I keep them--in my stomach? You must take me for an x ray if you think can look on the inside of man and note the ar tistic effect of carnival whisky on the dining of the stomach"
 Tommy, you are not right in your head" said Willie. 'I think you had better go to bed now, and in the morn ing the decorations will be much nicer"
