UNKNOWN BUT POWERFUL.

In a recent interview at Seattle, Prof,
Joseph Bailie, an instructor in the I'M
perial University at Pekin, tells of a
crinaman whom he considers one Of
the most powerful anuforeign leaders
in that country yet his name has sell
dom or never appeared in the press
dispatches.
Lii Hung Chang is not the power in
China that Americans believe him.
said Prof. Bailie. He has fallen from
lmperial favor and his day of control
is past. For many years one of the
most influential men has been Hsu
Tung. and with the beginning of the
present troubles he became greater than
ever He now exerts power second
only to that Of the empress dowager'
a fact that is not favorable to the for
eigners, as he is one of the most bitter
extremists in the country When the
Boxer riots first started he publicly de-
clared that he would rad his chair with
the skins of foreigners.
1T often appears strange to me that
Hsus name is never mentioned in con-
nection with the Chinese war upon the
foreigners. The truth is that the en-
press dowager Prince Tuan and Hsu
have headed the movement and to their
door can be laid every outrage.
"Hsu Tung is the head of the Hanlin
academy. the greatest Chinese educat-
ional institution in the empire II is in !
this academy that the princes and /
high-class Chinese receive their educa- /,
tion. All the leading officers and diplo- |
mats of the country are graduates of
this institution. Occupying such po-
sition the academy is great influence /
in the upper circles of China and con-
seauently in the whole country
'The control of this influence lies
with Hsu Tung, a man of great learn
ing. but bitter enemy of all things
foreign. He hates foreigners so f1src=ly /
that he win walk several. blocks out Of |
his way TO avoid passing the house of
one
The empress dowager, who's power
with the masses of the people is su-
preme, has been planning the anti-for-
eign movement for years She thinks
Hsu Tung the greatest man the world
has ever seen, and in everything. is
guided by his advice Ii Hung Chang
today exerts little influence. His own
life and position are none too secure.
For long time he stood in fear of the
wrath of the empress. having lost favor
with her because of his tendency to-
ward reform. Ii is a great man and
believe a good one but his present in
fuence with China is not to be COM
pared with that of Hsu Tung"
