The Two Great Viceroys.
By ISAAC T. HEADLAND,
Professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy, diversity of Pekin
The Chinese for many centuries have
bod a proverb that “no good man will
eV ir become a soldier," and this proverb
Is m harmony with the whole make-up of
,bf Chinese people. Just before the Chi
n.se Japanese war thtre were great pre
dictions as to what would happen. Ii was
6 t rod that the world would have to reor
ganize her forces if the Chinese army were
to lake the field, that the Chinese were
among the best soldiers in the world, that
they were the most astute leaders, and
the bravest followers of any people -on
earth, besides a lot more of the same ten
or. British war experts were quoted as
raying that if China armed herself and
drilled her soldiers properly she could
swamp or trample dpwn with numbers
ony nation that would come against her,
simply because she ccfuld put so many mil
lions of soldiers on the field. To back up
their statements they pointed to the way
Gmghis and Kublai Kahn and other Mon
golians overran Europe seven or eight
centuries ago.
.Now, as a matter of fact, seven or
Tseng Kno-Far, One of China’s Greatest Viceroys, Authors and Liberal Leaders.
eight centuries ago China was at her best
and Europe was at her worst. The meth
ods of modern warfare had not j’et been
evolved, and the people who were the best
horsemen could shoot best with the bow,
throw the spear with the greatest force
and accuracy, and at the same time be
siege cities for the longest periods, were
mos • likely to win and as all uht se things
were right in line with the accomplish
ments of the Mongolian, they were able
to do what they did toward the subjuga
tion of a large part of Asia—especially
the less civilized portion—and at the same
time frighten a large part of Europe.
The Chinese Army.
From the first we who have lived in
China have had no confidence in ihe Chi
nese army. There are practically no "good
men" in it. It Is little less than a combi
nation of thieves, rascals, beggars and
hoodlums. They know nothing about dis
cipline; they know nothing about the arts
of war; they know nothing about inter
national courtesy, the taking care of the
Blck and wounded; they know nothing
about either paying or dressing their sol
diers In a way which is calculated to de
velop either patriotism or self-respect.
And as they are practically without a na
tional emblem, they have no "Old Glory"
which makes the chills run over you and
fills your throat as you see it carried by
the sons an 4 daughters of old veterans
who “died for the old flag.” Nobody ever
heard of a Chinese soldier who was ready
to die for the flag. He may fight because
he hates the enemy, or bedause there is
the hope of plunder, but he knows nothing
about the “love your enemy” principle in
time of war, if, Indeed, he does In time of
peace.
When I say this about the Chinese sol
dier let it be understood that It is with
the greatest possible respect and admira
tion for the Chinese character and peo
ple. They are a literary and not a war
like people. They are not drivers of the
sword, but of the quill—or more properly,
the brush. They are the originators of
everything that has thus far come from
Eastern Asia which has contributed to
oriental civilization. War brutalizes, but
the Chinese productions have contributed
to the development of the arts of
Peace.
Ihe Chinese ere therefore a peaceable
people. Save In their great family squab
bles. which con scarcely be termed civil
wars, thy have never conquered anybody.
They have been repeatedly conquered—first
t ' the Mongols, then by the Manchus—but
while they were thus conquered in battle,
they at once settled themselves to swal
tow. absorb, masticate, digest, anything
Vou plelse to call It—their conquerors, and
In a hundreds years there was not enough
Mongols left to "shake a stick at.” They
have been doing the same with the slan
nhus until at present the Manchu Is an
emasculated, opium-besotted nobody, who
Is ready to be vomited back on his own
mountains, woods and plains, where I e
■an live on bears, fish and fowls. Among
ell the great statesmen of China you will
l0"k In vain for a great Manchu states
tnai: There have been those who were in
fluential, but It was either because of the
elation or their relationships and not be
rat:w 0 f their statesmanship. When you
stu.iy the history of the empire you find
that her greot statesman as well as her
baders | n war aro Chinese, though no
f hlnr-se generals can be looked ii|x>n as
kt'ft save when compared with others of
nis own nationality.
How the Chinese Fight.
The following incident will Indicate the
fboraeter of these "great generals." ns
they appeared at the beginning of the
' hitteae-Japanese War: When a certain
general was about to go over to drive the
“*M* ese out of Korea, he was asked If
' r knew the geography of Korea. "Geog
raphy of Korea!" said he. "What do I care
about the geography of Korea? I will Just
K ' over there and have two or three rn
kfßementa with them and that will be the
f, nd of it. There is no use of my bothering
,nvt ' if about the geography of the coun
try."
Asa matter of fact, he "went over*’
f ' n *l bad the engagements, but the result
*’ a * hot whaf he had predicted. One of
bis soldiers who was laid up In nos
pl,"l after his return explained
"bat happened. He and the others In
jhh'l of the hospitals were shot In the
"®vk. ami when the doctors asked how
that happened the reply wrfs about as
follows: ,
“The Japanese,” said this soldier, "came
at us as though wild. We shot down
those who wore in front, but just as soon
as a man fell in the front ranks some
one from the next line would take his
place. You can't fight people that way.
When we shot down those, who took the
others’ place someone else would come
nnd till up the ranks, and on they would
come. You can't do anything with people
ot that kind. They did not know' when
they were whipped. Somebody had to
run, and as they would not, we did, and
then they shot us in the hack.”
During this war there were two gener
als who were prominent, one whose name
is spelled Yeh, but which the foreigners
pronounce as though it were spelled Yea.
He was in charge of the army at first,
bill, like a large majority of Chinese offi
cials, there was a certain attraction
about his hands which did not allow sil
ver to pass through them. Yeh became
rioh, but (he soldiers did not get their
pay. and so, after the great defeat at
Ping Yang lie was removed to Pekin and
placed in the board of punishment’s large
brick enclosure, where it was designed to
remove his head from the rest of his an-
atomy; and another "great general.”
Nich (the foreigners pronounce his name
ns though It were spelled Nay) supersed
ed him.
Gen. \'ieh nnd Ynan-SHih-Kai.
Gen. Nich is a large, corpulent, good
natured looking man, with crowfoot
wrinkles going from the corners of his
eyes toward his ears. He Is a good laugh
er. When sitting he reminds one of good
St. Nicholas, of whom it is said that a
certain portion of his anatomy "shook
when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.”
General Nich called on me on one oc
casion at the summer resort at Pel Tai
Ho, about 200 miles east of Pekin, on the
seashore, bringing with him one of the
other generals and a number of his sol
diers. They were extremely polite, end
the old general proved to be the beet kind
of company. I have met him on other oc
casions when he manifested the same
genial disposition. He is located at Lu
Tai, about seventy or eighty miles from
Gen. Tso Pao-Kuel, One of the Less
Known Chinese Generals of the
War With Japan.
Tien Tsin, and seems to have complete
control of his soldiers, and had be been
allowed to go on with his treatment of
the Boxers a few weeks ago it would
have saved the Chinese government a
large amount of anxiety as well as a
great deal of trouble and expense. Gen
eral Nlch has always manifesled a kind
disposition toward foreigners, and so far
as I have ever heard, there has never
been any trouble between his soldiers and
tile foreign residents In Tong Ku or Tang
Bhang, or, indeed, In any other part of
the country east of Tien Tsin and Pekin.
A disposition similar to (hat of Gen
eral Nlch is that of Yuan Shlh-kai. My
fti st meeting with General Yuan was in
Corea during the Chlnese-Japanese war.
General Y’uan was the Chinese represen.
tative at the Corean capital at that ttm>',
and I happened to be there for a summer
vacation. When the war broke out be
tween the governments the vessels were
oil token ofr the line between Tien Tsin
and Chemulpo, ami we were stranded in
Corea. Bu* alt offer came from the eap
ta.n of a British cruiser to carry all for
eigners over to Cho FVto, and General
Yiumn was included among this number,
lie is like General Nlch in his good na
ture, and like him in his general under
standing of the power of westren gov
ernments. When ex-Gove-rnor Yu Hslcn
was recalled General Yuan was appoint
ed to take his place. He appointed hie
brother to tuke charge of hla troops,

Boxer movement, but no sooner had this
begun than the brother was recalled by
the Em press Dowager. This, of course,
was proof positve that the Dowager was
in sympathy with the Boxers. Notwith
standing this. General Yuan has steadily
gained control of things and is spoken of
very highly by those who ore in those
disturbed regions. Some of the leading
missionaries write that “It is evident that
the military officiate are doing ali they can
to put the movement down, but in this
they are not very heartily seconded by
the civl authorities.”
All Anti-Forrlgn General.
The most anti-foreign general, and one
who presents a direct contrast to the two
just described, is Tung Fuhslang. This
general won his reputation in Kansu, the
northwestern province, a few years ago in
his battles with the Mohammedans then
in revolt. All hie life he has been shut
off from Intercourse with foreign govern
ments and knows absolutely nothing about
their power, the nature of their arms, and
the character of their fighting ability. Be
cause his army was able to put down tlie
Mohammedan rebellion, which was practi
cally a war between two rabbles, he sup
poses that all this trouble with "foreign
devils" is because of Christianity, and so
he is not only anti-foreign, but especially
anti-Christian. His rabble incites fear
among the natives, whether Christian or
non-Christian, wherever he goes. Only a
year or two ago when it was known that
he was about to come down about the re
gion of Pekin there was ft general quak
ing among the country people, and the
most awful stories were told about the
cruelty of his men, and their disposition to
loot, to rob and to outrage the women of
the sections through which they passed.
The difference between his rabble nnd the
armies of Nich and Yuan is an indication
of the salutary influence their contact
with foreign soldiers and the represen
tation foreign governments has had upon
them.
It was formerly the custom in times of
war for the Chinese to put to death any
general who was defeated in battle. Not
only was he beheaded, but all the mem
bers of his family suffered the same fate,
so that history is full of incidents in which
the general when defeated took his own
life rather than return and subject all
his friends to such a sad fate. It was
also the custom in times of war to loot,
rob and outrage at the will of the soldiers,
so that during the Chinese-Japanese war
many of the better class of women had
their poison all ready to take in case the
Japanese came Into the city, and many of
them called upon my wife to Inquire ae* to
the customs of foreign soldiers at such
times. In which case we were able to as
sure thwn that there was no reason to be
afraid of the Japanese, that they had
nothing to fear unless it was from the
rabble or from Chinese soldiers.
Prince Tuan.
There is one other general who has re
cently become prominent. This Is Prince
Tuan, who has charge of the imperial
Manchu troops at Pekin. He is the fa
ther of the heir apparent, and the son of
the fifth prince, as he has always been
called. He Is said to be one of the most
warlike of all of the Imperial princes, If
not the most warlike, but the stand he
has taken with the conservative party,
which, of course, was forced upon him
by the fact that his son was chosen by
the Empress Dowager as the successor
of Kuang Hsu, has placed him in a very
unfavorable light before the world. It is
said that the large majority of his troops
Joined the Boxers in the neighborhood of
Pekin, and it was this fact that made the
Boxer movement so strong and so suc
cessful in that neighborhood. There Is
no doubt that he was like the Empress
Dowager, in sympathy with them, and It
was probably through hts Influence that
Gen. Nlch was rebuked when his soldiers
killed 600 of the Boxers between Tien Tain
and Pekin. His army sets the Manchu
soldiers in a very bad light before the
world.
There are two other men who rank high
er among China's military leaders than
any or all the others put together. And
yet they are not generals. They are the
two viceroys. They are LI Hung Chang,
whom everybody knows, and Chang
Chlh-Tung, who Is almost unknown In
this country. I simply mention their
names, as 1 have not space to even indi
cate what they have done. It is ! some
what singular that these two men should
have the names they have. They are the
Smith and Brown, or the Brown and
Jones of China, as indicated by the fol
lowing Chinese proverb. In the Chinese
primer for girls we have this couplet:
••'Tls that you may never listen to the
talk of Chang and IJ.”
Now, as a matter of fact, if the Chinese
had listened to the advice of Chang Chih-
Tung and LI Hung Chang, China would
be far on the road to progress at the
present time. Li Hung Chang, as Is Well
known, Is the viceroy of the two Kuangs,
and Chang Chlh-Tung Is the viceroy of
Hupeh and Hunan. It Is the la'ter who
Is telegraphing to urge the Powers not
to send troops to China.

Will oil Hus Ten Years to Run—Sea

>lr. Williams, Faster Than South

Portsmouth, Vo., July 21. President
John Skelton Williams and Vice President
St. John were in Portsmouth) to-day and
were asked what they had to say in re
gard to the newspaper story to the effect
that J. P. Morgan & Cos., or the Southern
Railway, had purchased a controlling in
terest in the Seaboard Air Line System.
They replied that the report was utter
ly false and was doubtless being circulated
with malicious intent and originated with
the same parties who have been conduct
ing the fight against the Seaboard Air
Line system for the past few years.
To show how absolutely ridiculous the
story is they authorized the statement
that the entire capital stock of the Sea
board Air Line system has been deposited
In a voting trust, which has ten, years to
run, and, in addition to this, a large
majority of the voting trust certificates
are also ow ned by the voting trustees and
their immediate associates.
President Williams also added:
"The public* can safely brand a false
any rumors of this sort, which are being
and probably will continue to be set In
motion from time to time by certain rail
way interesto inimical to the new Sen
board and for the evident purpose of ad
versely affecting the business of this sys
tem. If the Seaboard wanted to purchase
the Southern Railway it could do so with
much greater ease than the Southern
could buy the Seaboard.''
HER EYE ON POTATOES.
Mina Haborg, of 5. P. C. A., the Vic
tim of n Wily Driver.
From the Baltimore Sun.
A petite, handsome and well-dressed
young lady, with a stylish parasol In her
hand, sat for two long hot hours yester
day morning close to a barrel of Irish po
tatoes at Park avenue and Saratoga
street.
On either side of her were other barrels
of potatoes, upon which she kept a watch
ful eye. The blazing sun beat down upon
her through the flimsy parasol and cuplous
people gazed at her in surprise.
But It did not daunt the young lady.
She serenely sat and sat.
She Is Miss Raborg, of 2201 North
Charles street, and the story of her ex
p;rience Is one to make strong men weep.
Miss Raborg Is a lady with an unusually
tender heart and a strong feeling for all
dumb biutes. Naturally, she belongs to
the Society for the prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, and her membership In that
organization led to her taking her seat
on the barrel of potatoes.
Yesterday morning Miss Raborg was
downtown, and while walking slowly up
Park avenue her attention was attracted
to a weary-looking horse struggling up
the hill with a wagon upon which lowered
15 large barrels of potatoes. A street car
behind the wagon had stopped and the
conductor and motorman were helping the
horse up the hill by pushing.
“The sight of the poor horse,” said Miss
Raborg last night to a reporter for the
Sun. "pulling such an awful load and In
such weather was too much for me. I
knew that eight barrels of potatoes were
quite as many as one horse should have,
especially in such terribly hot weather as
this.
"So I spoke to the colored man on the
wagon. "Driver,’ I said, 'you have too
heavy a load for that horse. You are kill
ing him.'
•' 'Do you think so. mum,' he replied.
•' 'Yes; I do,' 1 said. Then the white man
who was In charge of til# outfit came
around and I explained to him that the
load waß too heavy. He asked what he
could do in a case like that. I told him
to unload some of the barrels. He said ho
would take off four of them, but ask'-d
what would happen If he didn't. I told
him I should have him arrested.
•• ‘AH right.' he said, ‘I will take four
barrels off, but how do you know they
will let you put them on the pavement?'
“I pointed out to him that he could put
the barrels on a pavement In front of a
vacant plumber shop, and finally he and
the colored man took off four barrels and
put them in a row on the pavement.”
He Was a Wily Man,
Up to this point matters had gone
emodhly with Miss Raborg, but the next
move of the driver was a puzzler, until
later, when his meaning was made only
too clear.
“Will you please give mo your card,
lady?” he asked Miss Raborg.
”1 have not got one with me," she re
plied.
"Well, then, lady,” he said, “what Is
your name and address?”
Without realizing the awful depravity of
this particular driver Miss Raborg gave
her name and address.
The driver's manner suddenly changed.
“Now,” he said, "you have got to be re
sponsible for them there potatoes. If one
of them gets away while I’m gone, why,
you’ll get arrested. You have got to si ay
here and watch them until I get back, and
it’s going to take me two hours to unload
this wagon. You made me take them bar
rels off, and now yotr’ve got to be respon
sible.”
Miss Raborg says she was not scared at*
all, although the man was lmi>ertinent.
After delivering his ultimatum he drove
off and left her with the potatoes, taking
the colored man with him.
Some curious persona gathered about
and Mies Raborg did not feel as if she
could leave. Something might happen to
the potatoes, ami she felt that she would
be held responsible. She stood near and
watched them for awhile and then went
Into a neighboring store and telephoned
to the society. She asked Secretary Han
sel 1 to come to her at once, all the while
keeping an eye on the potatoes. She went
back to the barrels and rested on one in
an anxious frame of mind.
The comer grew hotter every moment,
and the four barrels were exposed to the
rays of the sun.
A friendly German storekeeper tendered
Miss Raljorg a chair and ahe resumed her
watch and waited anxiously for Mr. Han
cell.
One hour had almost passed before she
caught sight of the secretary, who leis
urely swung around the corner to the
scene of action. He was arrayed in light
summer attire, his collar was Immaculate
in Its stiffness, and he had l)out him a
general air of being cool end comfortable.
In this he differed from Miss Raborg.
The latter told her troubles to Mr. Han
sell, who pulled out his Utile notebook
and entered under different heads the va- 1
rious points of the story. When the re- <
cital was over the cool and comfortable !
secretary looked at Miss Raborg, glanced
at the sun, and let his eyes rest for a
moment on the four barrels. He took out
his handkerchief and lightly wiped his
forehead.
He told Miss Raborg to stand by her
post.
He told her to be faithful to her duty.
He cautioned her to let no one trifle with
the potatoes.
He said he would go for an agent to
have the driver arrested when lie re
turned.
Then the secretary coolly hopped on a
car and sped away. For another hour
'Miss Raborg held her stand and was
finally Joined by the agent. At the end of
the last hour the horse and wagon,
driven by r colored man, came back and
took away the other four barrels of pota
toes.
The driver could not, or would not, tell
the name of his employer and no arrest
has been made yet. A warrant will, how
ever, be sworn out for the arrest of the
colored driver, and the society hopes
through him to get at the man who it is
charged Is guilty of the cruelty.
Miss Raborg said last night that if he
Is arrrated she will take great pleasure
In appearing against him.
Folly’* Comment on a Wildcat Scrap.
From the Denver Republican.
The two wildcats in a box in a baggage
room at the Union Depot had glared at
each other for a couple of hours lust even
ing before the trouble begun. All the fore
noon they had growled and the supposi
tion Is that they had said things to each
other that were not complimentary. Tho
larger of the two had spilled the water
belonging to the smaller one. Ho had
switched his tail Into the other’s face and
In various ways had given the youngster
to understand that there was apt to be
trouble. Toward evening the Two sat in
opposite corners and glared at each other.
The latter animal about 8 o’clock thought
It was time to make ihe Interior of the box
interesting for one of the occupants. He
was successful.
No sooner had the big rat attacked th
smaller one than the latter was ready for
business. There was a mass of tangled
fur % inside the box, the sides of which
groaned with the struggle. Growls and
flying fur came out from between the
cracks and those who were looking on
could not tell which was the winner. Sev
eral of the baggage men caught up sticks
ami through the silts In the box succeed
ed finally in poking the beasts into sub
mission. As the two wild cats cowered
down In opposite corners a South Afri
can parrot swinging in a cage nearby
called out:
