onINA.s GRAND OLD MAN.
In Ii Hung Chang's Death the Orien
Loses Its Greatest Man.

In LII hung Changes Death the orient
Loses Its Greatest Man.
In the death of Ii Hung Chang the
ancient empire Of China has lost its
most powerful and greatest citizen and
oriental civilization it's most distin-
guished exponent. Our own Gen. Grant
ranked him with Bismarck and Glad
stone, and in return for the compliment
Ii compared Grant to himself. The
great Chinaman had an unbounded ad-
miration for the hero of Appomattox,
whom he entertained when the latter
was making tour Of the world, and
every year after Gen. Grants death
he had a wreath placed on his grave.
When Ii visited this country on a tour
Of the world he planted a tree by Gen.
Grants tomb in Riverside Park, New
York.
Ii Hung Chang was not leader of
his people by birth or hereditary rank.
He was not even of the blood of the
ruling caste, the Manchus. He was of
old Chinese stock and was born in
1S22-the same year as Gen. Grant. lie
uFSt came lnto prominence curing the
awful Taeping rebellion, which desc
lated China for fourteen years, costing
20,000,000 lives and incalculable finan
cial loss. Ii raised a regiment Of mill
tia and attacked the rebels on theil
march toward Pekin. He gained notice
by this and was promoted. First with
the aid of Gen. Ward, an American
and next with Gen. Gordon, who sub
sequently met a tragic fate in the Sou
dan, he organized and disciplined al
army and ultimately crushed out the
rebelliona For this service he was pro
NOTED to be governor of the metropoli
tan province of Pe-chi-li. and here ht
ruled with autocratic sway for a quar-
ter Of century. He was the buffer

looked at the work, became satisfied
that it was genuine, and purchased it
for large sum. But he had no more
than secured the work when he began
to grow suspicious.
His suspicious increasing, he decided
to stop over in Washington and sub
init his find to Professor William II.
Holmes, curator Of the Department of
Archaeology of the National museum.
This he did. Professor Holmes held
the codex up to his nose, and remarked
that it ''smelled new" In short, the
story was this:
When a certain French archeologist
was in Mexico he employed as a
draughtsman the Mexican from whom
the duped archeologist secured the
| codex. and during his service this Mex.
lean learned all about Aztec antiuuar-
les. When his employer left, the
draughtsman devoted himself to manu-.
featuring bogue antiquities, his mas.
terpiece being the fraudulent codex, for
even such it proved to be.

between the invading foreigners on
one side and reactionary court on the
other, and it was his fate to be froWn-
ed upon and smiled upon by the latter
in turn.
Through his contact with foreigners
Ii became impressed with the aoVan-
tages of western methods and these ne
introduced in his own province OF Pe-
chilli. To do so he had to run counter
to the rooted customs of centuries ana
often his work was retarded. AS grand
secretary of the empire, which he be-
came in 1875, he was the negot1ator
of treaties with foreign nations and
thus his name became well known in
all civilized countries having CONNER
cial relations with China. LIS work
was indefatigable. He introduced the
telegraph and the railroad into CHINA,
founded a military and naval academy,
created a navy, established arsenals,
built forts and gave to the empire
wonderful impetus.
And then came the war with Japan,
which proved the rottenness of Chi
nese methods. The unwieldy giant
was whipped, both army and navy, ow-
ing to the ignorance Of the Chinese,
being practically worthless. Ii became
the scapegoat of that war, which he
neither counseled nor countenanced,
and suffered degradation by an ignor-
ant and stupid court on account Of it.
He negotiated the terms of peace, how
ever, and gained the best possible. He
was transferred to the obscure prov
inces of Kwang-Si and Kwang-Tung
as viceroy, where he remained until
! called to interpose his influence and
offices between the enraged Christian
world and those responsible for the
Boxer outrages. The subsequent nego-
tiations on behalf of the imperial
court were carried on by him.
Ii has been reckoned as one Of the
wealthiest men in the world, but this
statement may be doubted. In this
country Ii will be long remembered
for his inquisitiveness. He was an un.
firing and at times impertinent ques-
toner. He was shreyd, cunning, sly
diplomatic-in a word oriental. When
in Germany the Kaiser asked him.
''How do our women compare with
those in China?"
81 really cannot TELL" said Ii, slyly
fastening his eyes on the corsage of a
lady who was present. 1--WE never see
half as much Of our women as you dc
of yours"
Sharp answers such as this frequent
ly fell from the lips of the willy orient
al and these, together with his numer
GUS questions, will long perpetuate ar
interesting phase Of his many-sided
character.

Semilika forest region Of Central AZ
rica, letter was received at the Ma
tional museum in Washington from
man in New England, who said that for
many years he was stationed as
trader in the region named. He de-
clared that the okapi were exceedingly
common. His knowledge of zoology
was then very limited, and as a result,
he had labored under the impression
that the okapi was known to science.
The announcement of Sir Harry's dis
covery was the first intimation Of the

finding few more Of these strange
books hidden away in some obscure

may be imagined when two months ago

sort had turned up in a remote quarter
of Mexico.
