Macaronl seed from Russia is now on
the way to the United States, and Is
expected by the agricultural depart
ment to prove the beginning Of a new
industry. Experiments already made
90 to show that in some parts Of the
country these wheats may be grown
to better advantage than anywhere
else in the world. The first thing,
however, must be the erection Of maca-
roni factories to handle the crop; and
It is expected that several will be built
in st. Paul and Minneapolis.

Ii. Hung Chang.

Ii Hung Chang, Whose death occurred
at Pekin the Oh i'm. WAS without
doubt one of the creates natives of the
fowery kingdom in recent years. Long,
long ages ago there may have been
greater men, in some Of the famous dY-
nastes OF the early centuries when there
were great lungs, Tsins ana Wang,
but he was certainly the greatest person
age 10 that country Of the present cen
fury. He was not only statesman,
soldier. millionaire. scholar, traveller dip
lomat and political factor in the ad-
ministration OF the Chinese empire, but
he WAS great ia all these branches and
what is most remarkable in his career he
had risen from The common people. in Il
country where iLls little short OF mira
Gle for a man TO rise from low condi.
ton TO the almost supreme position which
he had for many years occupied, up
through nearly all the twelve degrees of
rank distributed to the princes of the
empire to the great station which he oc-
cupied as viceroy of foreign affairs in
the administration.
One of the things which Ii enjoyed
was travelling and after having visited all
the important capitals of Europe where
he was universally received with distin-
gushed honors, he visited the United
States in 1896, during which he was re.
ceived at Washington by President
Cleveland. and also visited Chicago,
Philadelphia, New York and other lead
ing cities, being everywhere received
with the highest consideration. On this
tour he landed In New York and making
the journey across the continent, sailed
for home from SaR Fraacisco. During
President Grants tour around the world
he was entertained in the most royal
manner by LII Hung Chang at Pekin.
Hon. John w. Foster being our minister
to China at the time, and it was mark
of singular and distinguished honor that
Ii made Mr.. Foster one of his eonfiden-
tial advisers during the Chnese-Japan-
ese war.
The death of this great diplomat is
likely to produce some uneasiness as to
the relations of China with Russia, al
though none will occur in our own rela-
tions with China. Ii Hung was ex
ceedingly friendly To Russia, and when
on his visit to st. Petersburg had praised
every thing Russian, as he did everything
German when in Berlin, everything
French when in Paris, and everything
American when in the United States.
This, however, was only his Chinese idea
of courtesy. 1t may be possible that his
death and the coming into power in
China as director of foreign affairs of
one less friendly to Russia, may relax
her hold upon Manchuria AID allow the
country to be opened up to the com
merce of the world.
Ii Hung Chang was believed to have
been IS years of age.

Trade Review.

leading manufacturing industry in the
matter of transporting facilities. In
fact the situation ON the whole Is less
satisfactory, since inability to secure
coke has brought about the banking of
furnaces. This in turn tends to harden
the market for pig iron, though no ac-
tual alteration in prices has occurred,
except at Philadelphia where % cents
more ton is readily paid.
As this industry is considered the best
business barometer, present conditions
and future prospects are certainly most
encouraging, for orders are abundant
and plants charging capacity in order to
handle the growing business. Material

work in the spring aud additional con-
tracts are seeking acceptance. Railway
