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, and at one* ha began to put down tha THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 22, 1900. Sweet butter can’t be made in a sour churn. The stomach is a churn. A foul stomach fouls the food put into it. When the food is fouled the blood made from it is fouled also. Foul blood means dis ease.

The far reaching action of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is due to its effect on the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition. Diseases that begin in the stomach are cured through the stomach. "Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery* has proved a great blessing to me," writes Mrs. Ellen E Bacon, of Shute-ebury, Franklin Cos., Mass. "Prior to September, 1897, I had doctored for my 9tomach trouble for several years, jfoina through a course of treatment without any real benefit. In September, 1896 I had very sick •pells and grew worse; could eat but little.

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. GEI*. ALEXANDER AT MANAGUA. Boundary Arbitrator Is Receiving Mnrh Attention. , Managua. Nicaragua. July 21.—Oen.

Williams, Faster Than South ern Could Secure Seaboard. 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.
