counsel for Admiral Schley,

three hours with a peroration

LI HUNG CHANG-
Sketch of the Great Chinaman Who
Has Just Died,
St. Louis Ulolifc—Democrat.
Li Hung Chang, the great Chi
nese statesman, who is now dead,
first rose to prominence as the
leader who suppressed the Tai
Ping rebellion. Although 'it is
pretty generally understood that
the ach evemeuts of the American,
Ward, and the Englishman, ‘‘Chi
nese” Gordon, in this war were
really what turned the tide against
the Tai Pings, Li Hung Chang got
most of the glory and the rewards.
He was 31 years old when the
Tai Ping rebellion broke out in
1853. His father was a small
offee holder under the government,
and renowned, in the Chinese
sense, for his scholarship. Li
himself received a good primary
education and soon passed to the
front as one of the great scholars
of China. He passed three of those
appalling Chinese public examina
tions, which means that he was
three time the one of the 200 suc
cessful men out of the 15,000 com
petitors, and at his last examina
tion he took the highest degree of
the entire 200. His scholarship
gave him the position of military
secretary to Gen. Tseng Kuo
Fan, one of the most famous
Chinese statesmen of the time, and
with that appointment began his
great career.
In the Taiping rebellion, with
his army drilled and officered by
Americans and Englishmen, he
swept all before him, storming and
capturing in quick succession the
cities of Loo Chow and* Nankin.
Like all Orientals, Li Hung Chang,
then, whatever he may have been
in his later years; cruel and treach
erous, and he ruthlessly slaugh
tered leaders of the rebellion to
whom pledges of security had been
given. This piece of villainy
aroused the wrath of “Chinese'
Gordon, who set out, armed with
a revolver, with the avowed pur
pose of killing Li himself on sight,
but the crafty Chinaman kept cut
of Gordon’s way until the first fife
of the Englishman’s anger had
cooled. Asa reward for his ser
vices in suppressing the Taipings,
Li Hung Chang was made in suc
cession governor of the provinces
Fuhkien and Kiangsu.
In 1867 the Shantung rebellion
broke out and Li again took the
field and again defeated the rebels.
111 1878 he was elevated to the vice
rovship of Chi Li, the most impor
tant viceroyalty in China, because
it lies between the capital and tlie
sea —in other words, between the
capital and the outer barbarians.
In 1876 Li Hung Chang again dis
tingaished himself by his effoits to
cope with the great famine, and
four years later he was madegrai.d
secretary of state, and became the
virtual head of the Chinese empire.
At the time of the outbreak of
the war with Japan, Li Hung
Chang was at the height of his pow
er, and, although the Chinese dis
asters, or rather the absuid route
of all the Chinese armies, re ulted
in some outward signs of disgrace
visited by the court upon him, it
nevertheless, was Li Hung Chang
who negotiated for China the terms
of peace with Japan.
In 1896 Li Hung Chang made a
tour around the world, visiting the
principal capitals of Europe, where
ne was received with great honors,
notably in Russia, to which coun
try it was believed he went on a
special mission having to do with
Russian’s possessions and ambi
tions in the lar East. It was not
until the time of Gen. Grant’s
memorable tour from west to east
aiouud the world that much was
generally known in America about
Earl Li. He had herrd a good

exceptional, and, in some instances.

’ Li felt for Gen. Grant was fully

between China and the powers, Li
Hung Chang was summoned to

to which he had been sent as gov

favor. He was one of the plenipo

rel, superviser of Muhlenberg
Township, for injuries alleged to
have been received while she was
resisting his effort to kiss her, is 17
years of age, and in de cribing tht
incident which led to the suit,
said.
“It happened last June, I had
just returned from the store and
found Mr. Borrel at our house.
We exchanged greetings and then
he said he was going to kiss me. I
objected. He caught hold of my
arm and I struggled hard to gei
away. In the tussle I fell off the
porch and landed on a low- picket
fence on my side. I was carried
into the house and couldn’t talk for
several weeks They say one of
my ribs was broken and you could
see the imprint of the sharp pales
on my side for a long time. It was
two months before I was able to be
about, and I still feel the efhcts of
my injuries.”
Borrel lives alone. He is 50
years old and a widower, His wife
died about ten years ago.
