But among foreigners generally Yuan
Shi-kai was given credit for as able
an administration as could be eX-

Long before Yuar Shi-kai was
widely known abroad he had been ac-
cepted by the Manchus, the Chinese,
and the foreigners in China as a COM
ing man.
Born in 1853, the son Of a district
governor in the province of Honan,
Yuan Shi-kai aspired to an official po-
sition, but the rule was .hat official
life was open only to those who passed
in ancient classics. Yuan utterly
failed in one of those government
tests at which thousands of aspirants
are closeted for three days undergoing
examination.
He went into Korea as a secretary
with the army, and there rose rapidly
through his display OF military and
diplomatic ability. The famous Grand
Chancellor Ii Hung-chang recognized
in him man of action and appointed
him Chinese resident at Seoul This
was the highest post in the empire,
and Yuan held it when he was only
&c years old When the japanese
drove the Chinese out of Korea, .he
was one of the few to return to Pc
king still in the favor Of the court
