YOUNG PERFORMERS IN CHINA.
The Nations Only Hope of ProxreM Lies In the New Gen.
 eratIOn.

Some have a tendency to say that the present troubles in China arose out of the missionary question. This is an ex- tremely narrow view, and it indicates that the one who holds it knows noth- ing back of what has occurred during the past year. The present troubles are the last efforts of the old conserva- tlVes to preserve the conditions which have existed in China for 4,OOO years. says l. T. Headland in Ainslee's.
 have number of friends amono tba young scholars, first, second, third and fourth graduates. They are young men who have studied English and who have started English schools. Their schools have been destroyed by the con- servatives, and for the past two years they have been out of employment. All of them, so far as l know, are still pur- suing the same line of study, confident that conservatism is a thing of the past, that reform must come, and when it does come they will be ready for It. Such men are of the class of Minister Wu-Ting-fang, Lo-Feng-lo and MT. Yu, minister to France, who called upon me few days before he sailed for France. During our conver- sation l 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 tsung-li- yamen would not allow you to enter tain the foreigners on New Years day as you wished said.
 "No," he replied, but this thing 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 Mir. Wu is a Eurasian woman. His two daughters dress in European clothing when they go call ing in Peking. They converse freely in Chinese, French and English, as do also his sons. On one occasion some of the old conservatives went to the empress dowager and said to her:
 
 you have had as minister to Japan, and whom you are about tol appoint as min ister to France, has foreign wife?"
 Has he any children ?" the old dow ager asked in return.
 "Yes, indeed; he has grown sons and 
 Then 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 foreign devil.'"
 It could not add much of interest to the readers of tAis paper to describe in detail the other leaders of the con- party. They are Prince Yuan, Li Ping Heng and Tung Fu-Hsiang. | Prince Yuan is the son of the fifth is, the son of the fifth brother of the husband of the empress 1owager. This husband was never heard of until her son was selected to 'e the successor to the son of the em- press dowager instead of Kuang Hsu. His greatest virtue is his conservatism, which is vice. Also his ability as a warrior has been greatly overestima- ed,

IT seems strange that in making
the apportionment of county road
funds, the commissioners about
Duluth should get such large
chunks. 1t is claimed that the
farmers in the Duluth district
have good roads on every section
line and that the amount of money
expended for them exceeds the
amount due them by over two
thirds. These road funds are
apportioned according to the
amount of taxable property in the
district. Commissioner Morcom
who has the larger district secures
the least. 1t seems very much as
if the four commissioners from
Duluth had everything their own
way by reason of their majority
and that they show very little
Judgment in the distribution of
the funds.
