EARL LIS SUCCESSOR

Pekin, Nov. 9.-The special edict has
arrived here appointing Yuan Shi Kai
governor of Shan Tung province) to
be governor of the province Of Chi Lii,
and appointing Wang Wen Shao, who
is vice president OF the foreign office
and member of the cabinet, to sue
ceed Ii Hung Chang as plenipotenti-
ary. They are both ordered to come to
Pekin forthwith.
The name of the new governor of the
province of Shan Tung is Chang Yen
Chun, and the name of the town where
he has been grain commissioner. is
Tsingkiangfu.
Another edict creates Ii Hung Chang
n marquis and bestows on him the new
name Of Ii Wen Chung. by which he
will be known TO history.
Washington, Nov. 9.-Yuan Shi Kai,
who succeeds Ii Hung Chang as vice
roy of Chi Ii is the best appointment
that could have been made from all
China. according to Mr. Rockhill. the
special commissioner of the United
States TO Pekin. He is about forty-five
years of age and came originally from
the province of Hu Nan, where he be
gan his public career as a military Of
fcer. He was made minister TO Korea
and for many years ably defended the
Chinese interests in that troubled coun-
try. As a military man Yuan showed
his ability by the organization of what
is undoubtedly the best military force
in China, and they were his troops that
occupied Pekin last summer when the
foreign forces were withdrawn. They
are thoroughly disciplined and well Of
ficered, and, considering Chinese con-
servatism. they form magnificent dis
play OF Yuan's ability.
Wang Wen Shao, who is made dep
uty viceroy of Chi Ii, is also man of
marked ability. The records show that
