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.

Grant was fond of (Escribing Li as the Bismarck of the east, a title which clung during all the time Bismarck was in pow er. For the recent peace negotiations between China and the powers, Li Hung Chang was summoned to Pekin fioni the southern province, to which he had been sent as gov ernor after his partial restoration to favor. He was one of the plenipo tentiaries, though second in all things, to Prince Ching. Reliable and Gentle 1 . ‘‘April’s a pill,” says the saw 1 . But there are pills and pills.
