Prince Chun. 1t is safe to say that a man
like Yuan Shih Kai, when his own death
was in question, would hardly hesitate to
remove even an emperor to save his head.

The Kind Of Man Yuan Is.
I heard a story last night which illus
trates the character Of Yuan and confirms
this opinion. It relates to a rebellin which
broke out while he was viceroy of Chill.
and when the foreigners were still holding
Tientsin. The situation was delicate and
Yuan wanted to show that he could con-
troll his own people. His capital was at
Ting Flu, and the village, which had
rebelled, was off at the other side of his
province. He ordered his soldiers to march
to the quarter and round up the mob, and
If they did not submit, to wipe them from
the face OF the earth. The villagers re-
fused to put down their arms, and the
soldiers, as per directions, slaughtered
them will their Calling guns, killing one
thousand in less than an hour. The day
after this an American friend of mine,
who was. then associated with Yuan Shlh
Kal, said to him that he thought his &C
lions were rather precipitious. Yuan re-

The report of this went forth as Yuan
had intended, and 1t effectually as stopped
the uprisings among the Chinese.

The prince regent now goes about in a
fine closed carriage or brougham, with his
outriders In livery going along in front and
behind. He has given mp the Chinese cart
since his trip abroad, and like most of the
high officials he now has as good an out
fit as you will see in London or Paris.
About the time that the prince went to
Berlin there was only one brougham in
Picking, and the official who owned It was

who has done more to further western
civilization than any Chinese now living.
Yuan shih Kai saved the life of the great

The old lady appreciated the fact tina he
took his life In his hands when h refused
to DO the behests Of the late emperor,

advance his modern army to the capital

top OF his power when she and the emperor
passed away, and every one thought him
to be the man for the hour. The foreign
ers were 80 convinced OF this that they
objected to his dismissal Nevertheless,
Yuan was put out Of office within a few
weeks after the death OF Kwang su, and
It is claimed that this was because Of
an edlct which the latter wrote when in

Yuan shih Kai actually took the life Of

Prince ChGn Hfraid of Him.


I imagine that Prince Chun and his party
got rid Of Yuan because they feared his
power through his many a~ppointees of sub
ordinate officials all over the empire. He
was especially strong in the army, and the
officers worshiped him. He is naturally a
military leader, and is at his best when
at tho head of his troops. He would rather
talk to a military man any time than to a
