Ii HUNG CHANG.

When Chinese Gordon led the for;
eign auxiliary troops of the Chinese
Government during the Tapping rebel
lion, in 1868, he accepted the surren-
der of the Mandarins commanding the
city of Nankin and agreed to spare
their lives. Gen. Ii Hung Chang, the
commander in chief, refused to approve
of his action and beheaded the prison
ers. He justified his action on the
ground that he simply followed the
custom of the country. Gordon re-
signed his command and retired to En-
gland. The Chinese general, however,
claimed the credit of his victories and
became from that date the military
hero of the nation. If he possessed the
genius OF Wellington he could not have
conducted any successful war against
any foreign power owing to the hope
less lack of discipline of the Chinese
troops.
AS a statesman, however, he stands
in the foremost rank Of Asiatic public
men. The true story of his life Will
never be written. unless he has secreted
the data for it and placed it beyond
the reach of living men. This is high
~ improbable He was a Chinaman
who could and did use at times Euro
pean spectacles. He led the people by
pretending 10 follow them. He practic-
ed every device and scheme known in
political life in order to maintain a
political "straddle." He was concerned
In movements of a national kind even
OF greater moment than any measure
which Bismarck prosecuted. He con-
trolled the internal affairs of three hun
bred and fifty millions of his own
countrymen, besides standing between
them and an angry foreign world. The
romance OF his life IS singularly event
ful. He was one whom the French
would call an "Opportunist." But after
all he was a mere cockle-shell
floating on the great wave of Chinese
humanity and he could not guide or
control II. The nation was bound to
pass through all OF the stages of ma
other man could shorten the process.
A true biography of such a man
would be a veritable history of China
during the last forty years. No for
eigner can write 1t and no Chinaman
dares to write II.
1t is said that he favored Russia in |
his diplomacy. If he did, he saw more
clearly than others the dominance of |
that power in the East and the need |
of its political friendship even though |
1t was not sincere. II he had entirely /
controlled the government in Picking, |
no doubt at this time the naval forces |
OF China would seriously menace the |
peace Of the world. He once said that |
Western civilization had called up a !
force IN the East which would return /

I NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Commenting
upon the French naval demonstration
in the Levant, the Tribune's London
correspondent says: A second meeting

element in England over. the French
Naval demonstration at A1itylene. The
press comments are cautious and tenn

tent with an expression of nope that

is an evident intention on the part of
the English press to minimize the Nifty

class it with recent efforts of the United
States and Austria-Hungary to obtain
tn. settlement Gf private claims. If
the ministers take the same view, 1t is
remarkable tina. they have been in SEES
sion for two successive days, although
1t is barely possible that they are hold
ing prolonged consultations over the
legislative program and are paying lit
tie attention to Admiral Caillard's
cruise with 1000 troops.
There may however be more serious
complications. There is no probability
that the British Government considers
itself liable, under Lord Beaconsfield's
Cyprus convention to defend the Otto
man empire against a French seizure
of the revenues of 81itylene. 1t is, how
ever. an open question whether the for

some secret arrangement with Ger

German Emperor has been steadily de

REAL CAUSE OF DEATH.
Autopsy Revealed Tha' the System Was
Permeated with Gangrene-Were
Bullets Poisoned ?

Gangrcne. which affected the stomach,
caused the death of the president. The
announcement was made officially by the
surgeons who attended him, reinfoEced
by DIR. Jancway, Dr. Johnson, pr. Ken
dali, Dr. Cary, DR.. Munson, DR.. Baer
and Drs. Gaylord and Metzinger. An
autopsy was performed at the Milburn
home Saturday. several hours after the
death Of the president. The bullet which
penetrated the stomach was not found.
For two hours the surgeons who per
formed the autopsy sought for it. Its
course was traced until it entered the
muscles Of the back, where search of
~ hours failed to find it. The N-Qy
apparatus WAS not conveniently at hand
to aid the search. so the autopsy was
concluded without the finding of the bul-
let.
The report Of the autopsy upon the
presidents body was issued in the form
Of an official bulletin, similar 20 those
issued during his illness. Here is the re-
port:
"The bullet which struck over the
breastbone did not pass through the skin
and did little harm.
"The other bullet passed through both
walls Of the abdomen. Both holes were
found to be perfectly closed by the
stitches, but the tissue around each hole
had become gangrenOus. After passing
through the stomach the bullet passed
into the back walls Of the abdomen, hit
ting and tearing the upper end Of the
Lidncy. This portion Of the bullet track
was also gangrenous, the gangrcne in
volving the pancreas.
"rhc bullet has not yet been found.
There were no signs Of peritontis or
disease of other organs. The heart walls
were very thin. There was no evidence

the brawny sholders of eight sailors rud
soldiers Of the republic.
The cortege passed through solid walls
of living humanity, bareheaded and grief
stricken, to the city hall, where the body
