where are now the greatest changes Of all
Asia. The whole nation is in a turmoil,
and innovations Of every sort are being
introduced.
Among the striking things advocated and
instituted are the wiping out of the opium
evil and the doing away with foot-binding.
1t is even proposed to tax all women who
have small feet. and the late empress
dowager sent out an edict that those who
enter the new schools for girls must come
with their feet unbound.
AS to opium, the government at Picking
has demanded that all the opium dens
shall be closed within six months, and
that the sale of this drug shall be gradually
reduced during the next ten years, after
which no more can be sold. School teach
ers are forbidden to use opium, and the
cultivation of the poppy will be eventually
stopped. The government has a sort of
Geloid or Kelley cure. and It is furnish
ing antidote opium pills. China has more
than 100, 5000 opium smokers and this
movement promises to surpass in its mag
nitude that Of temperance in the United
States.

but their garb was not wholly of that
funeral hue which is supposed to squelch
all possibility of levity in the dignified at
mosphere of justice.
Judge Barker was presiding, and Mr..
Robert Murray, K. c., of Chatham ap-
peared to make an application. Mr.. Muir
ray wore a white vest. White vests look
as we'll on him as he does in them, but
looks do not count in the court, and Judge
Barker mildly observed that Mr.. Murray
knew quite well the style Of costume to be
worn. Mr.. Murray gracefully admitted his
possession of this knowledge, and begged
to be excused while he procured a more
fitting though perhaps not a better fitting
vest.
The other members of the fraternity who
were present were inclined to smile at
the incident, but the gleeful expression on
one gentleman's face changed very sud-
denly as his eye caught the color Of his
own trousers. They were light gray. His
neighbor was in an even worse predica-
ment, for he had a whole suit without a
vestige of black anywhere, and another
man had a colored tie.
Four lawyers passed silently out of
court, but when the hall was reached they
made a rush for friendly offices, there

During my past visits to the great Chi
nese cities 1 nave seen the examination halls
in which 10000 or more students were being
examined at once, with a view to giving
the most successful contestants official
positions. Their studies were the Chinese
classics, and according to their old geogra-
phies the earth was flat. Within the last
two or three years the government has
abolished that system and tens of thou
sands of new schools are now being estab-
lished. There are 5000 new public schools
in Chibli alone, and the emperor has Or
dered them started in every Chinese VIII
lage. A quarter of a million new text books
are wanted, and hundreds of millions will
be required before the organization is
completed. The great Viceroy Chang-Chi-
Tung Is at the head of this movement. The
new schools are to be modelled after ours
and are TO teach the western sciences.

onizing 1t. There are now 1000 Of them in
Mukden, S.OO0 in Antung, 10000 in Dalmy
and 1900 in Newchwang. They are swarm
ing over the country and gobbling up every
thing in the way of mines.
l expect to visit Mukden and to spend
some time at that capital. This is a walled
city Of 100000 Chinese and Tartars, and 1t
is a military and business center. 1t has
10000 yellow Mohammedans. l shall visit
their mosques and shall describe the other
queer religions. Mukden is the chief fur
market Of Asia, and it has farms where
dogs are raised for their skins.
Manchuria's new railway will form the
subject Of another letter. l expect to go
over the whole system, and to travel by
rail to the Chinese wall and thence on to
Picking. The roads are equipped with Bald
win locomotives and with American steel
rails. Those of southern Manchuria are in
the hands of the japanese and by them 1
shall go to Dalmy and Port Arthur.
We are now shipping a vast quantity of
flour into north China and Manchuria.
Nevertheless that country has a wheat
soil as good as that of our Red river val
ley, and the people are building flour mills
to grind the grain raised there. The Jap
ar ese are putting up mills north of Muk-
den, and the mills lat Hardin turn out
enough flour every twenty-four hours to
make a loaf of bread for every soul in Chi
cago. The output is about 1900, 900 pounds
per day. The Lao valley now produces
100000 0 worth of grain annually, and this
is just the beginning.
During my ride on the railroad to China
/ am told that l will be in danger from
the Hunghutsi. This is an organization of
outlaws who live in the mountains and prey
upon the people. They have their secret
agents in every town and demand toll of

road stations to protect the passengers. 1t

China's New Army.

The Chinese are preparing to have q
great army and they are hiring the Ger
mans and the Japanese to drill their troops.
All the new schools are to have military
exercises and it is thought that every boy
will soon be forced to serve in the army.
There are now 100000 soldiers who are
more or less trained and when the present
arrangements nave been completed and are
in full force China will be on the way to
an army numbering 100000.
The Chinese have been establishing gun
works. They have such now at Shanghai.

Mauser rifles, smokeless cartridges n

In coming here I feel somewhat like Du-
mas must have felt when he wrote the later
volumes of the great series known as the
Three Musketeers." You will remember
that he describes the adventures OF
D'Artagnan, Athos. Porthos and Aramis
when they were young men of twenty, and

lures at the ages of forty or more. l first
came to Asia in 1883, twenty years ago, to

on to China and India, continuing my trip
around the globe.
In 1894 l came again to chronicle the pro-
gressive movements in China, and got out
of that country on the heels of the Japan
csc war. / then crossed Corea, using a bull
to pack my baggage over a route which is
soon to be traversed by a railroad, and my

the Philippines, and wrote also Of the

and waking up in the Land of the Morn

that will take me to the evry top of Corea,
q distance as great as from New York to
Cleveland, and thence shall travel by rail
on through Manchuria.
1 want to tell you how Corea is being
opened up by railways. The trunk lines
are Of American steel and they are using
American rolling stock. 1 shall visit the
big Corean cities, including Songdo, PEN
yang Aaiku and Seoul. At Seoul l hope
to meet the old emperor. who was deposed,
and his son, who is now on the throne. 1
had audiences with both when l visited the
country just before the war between China
and Japan.
I am told tina Corea is now on OF the
most rapidly changing parts of Asia. The
Japanese have taken possession of II and
are introducing our civilization. They are
planning new schools and are reorganizing
the courts. 1t is claimed by some that
they are depressing the people and are
cheating them cut of their lands and
money. 1t is charged that they force the
natives to work at the point of the re-
volver, and that nude Japanese rush into
the Corean women's quarters in order to
make their husbands leave the houses and
sen their property.
Another interesting subject of my in
vestigation will be the Association Of AS
sassins, which is pledged to drive the
Japanese out of the country. The men,
bers of this are to be found everywhere.
They wait in ambush with their guns to
pot such Japanese as get away from the
