REAL NEWS FROM CHINA.

Archibald C~0iqunouns views auoue
China generally repay consideration,
says the Springfield Republican
and often his information is news to
some other people. 1t Is to what may
be called. perhaps, the news OF his
article on China and the war; IN
the July number of the North Ameri.
can Review, that a moments atten.
tion Is invited.
Fact 1.-The great man Of China,
according to Mr.. Colquhoun, is now
Yuan Shih Kai. 1t may be well to
remember the name-Yuan Shih kai
Having betrayed the native reform.
ers on a certain memorable occasion
and thus gained the confidence Of the
empress dowager, this nan turns on
10 be something OF a r%enovator him.
self. He supports the more practical
reforms, and his present great effort
is to train and equip properly a mod,
fern army in northern China, for he
has become a convert to the idea that
q policy without force to back 1t is
useless. Yuan Shin Kai Is making
use Of Japanese military methods,
and his purpose to create a strong
Chinese army is based primarily upon
The doctrine, '.Ciina for the Chinese.
Fact Fin the far-lamed Chinese
civil service examinations, which
open the way to official station, a
revolution occurred last year. Hith.
erto the examinations had been rigid
ly confined TO that antique Chinese
eiasslcism which seems to oceidentals
But now the examinations include
questions as to the significance Of the
Monroe doctrine, the value of the
Panama canal and the Siberian rail
road, the meaning Of free trade ana
protection, the chief points in the edu.
cational systems 81 different countries
l5& E2
and the modern development Of Japan.
Fact 3.-Chinese workmen are now
crowding japanese %arsenals and fac.
tories to be taught the use Of moders
machinery and manufacturing meth
DDS.
Fact 1.-The Japanese influence in
China is being widely extended by
means Of a native press, controlled and
directed by Japanese. which extends
70 the remote interior of the Chinese
empire. One of the early results o.
: this form Of agitation for moderniza.
ton was an exodus of Chinese stud
ents to Japanese colleges, OF whom in
Toxic alone last year there were oyei
! LOO enrolled.
Fact ga network Of postal ser
vice has been spread the length anl
breadth OF the eighteen provinces,
! which makes the dissemination of the
newspapers and literature possible.
Mr.. Colquhonn, iii summing vi
these points, remarks: who can
doubt that China il on thu
! eve of u new era, and that the new
reform movement, OF which Japan Ii
the prime instigator, will be success
ful, because IL does not center in any
one district, class of society or politi
cal party. but has centers Of activity
In the army, the mandarin class, the
literati and the industrial class. All
