CHINA'S GRAND LB MAN.,
In U Hans Chang:' Death the Orient
Loses Its Greatest Man.
In tbe death of Li Hung Chang the
ancient empire of China has lost its
most powerful and greatest citizen and
oriental civilization its most distin-'
guished exponent Our own Gen. Grant
ranked him with Bismarck and Glad
stone, and in return for the compliment
Li compared Grant to himself. The
great Chinaman bad an unbounded ad
miration for the hero of Appomattox,
whom be entertained when the latter
was making a tour of tbe world, and
every year after Gen. Grant's death
hi had a wreath placed on his grave.
When Li visited this country on a tour
of the world he planted a tree by Gen.
Grant's tomb in Riverside Park, New
York.
Li Hung Chang was not a leader of
his people by birth or hereditary rank.
He was not even of the blood of the
ruling caste, the Manchus. He was of
old Chinese stock and was born in
1822 the same year as Gen. Grant. He
first came into prominence during the
awful Taeping rebellion, which deso
lated China -for fourteen years, costing
20,000,000 lives and lucalculable finan
cial loss. Li raised a regiment of mili
tia and attacked the rebels on their
march toward Pekin. He gained notice
by this and was promoted. First with
the aid of Gen. Ward, an American,
and next with Gen. Gordon, who sub
sequently met a tragic fate in the Sou
dan, he organized and disciplined an
army and ultimately crushed out the
rebellion For this service he was pro
moted to be governor or the metropoli
tan province of Pe-chi-li, and here he
ruled with autocratic sway for a quar
ter of a century. He was the buffer
between the Invading foreigners on
one side and a reactionary court off the
other, and It was his fate to be frown
ed upon and smiled upon by the latter
in turn.
Through his contact with foreigners
LI became impressed with the advan
tages of western methods and these be
introduced in his own province of Pe-chi-li.
To do so he had to run counter
to the rooted customs of centuries and
often his work was retarded. As grand
secretary of the empire, which he be
came in 1875, he was the negotiator
of treaties with foreign nations and
thus his name became well known In
all civilized countries having commer
cial relations with China, Li's work
was indefatigable. He introduced the
telegraph and the railroad into China,
founded a military and naval academy,
created a navy, established arsenals,
built forts and gave to the empire a
wonderful Impetus.
And then came the war with Japan,
which proved the rottenness of Chi
nese methods. The unwieldy giant
was whipped, both.army and navy, ow
ing to the ignorance of the Chinese,
being practically worthless. Li became
the scapegoat of that war, which he
neither counseled nor countenanced,
and suffered degradation by an ignor
ant and stupid court on account of it
He negotiated the terms of peace, how
ever, and gained the best possible. He
was transferred to the obscure prov
inces of Kwang-Sl and Kwang-Tung
as viceroy, where he remained until
called to Interpose his Influence and
offices between the enraged Christian
world and those responsible for the
Boxer outrages. The subsequent nego
tiations on behalf of the Imperial
court were carried on by him.
LI has been reckoned as one of the
wealthiest men in the world, but this
statement may be doubted. , In this
country LI will be long remembered
for his inqulsitlveness. He was an un
tiring and at times Impertinent ques
tioner. He was shreyd, cunning, sly,
diplomatic In a word oriental. When
In Germany the Kaiser asked him,
"How do our women compare with
those -In China?"
"I really Cannot tell," said LI, slyly,
fastening his eyes on the corsage of a
lady who was present "We never see
half as much of our women as you do
of yours."
Sharp answers such as this frequent
ly fell from the lips of the wily orient
al and these, together with his numer
ous questions, will long perpetuate an
interesting phase of his many-sided
character.
TRAPS FOR MEN OF SCIENCE.
Bid for a Trip to Africa A Mexican
Fortrery Bogus Relics.
In order to keep out of trouble nowa
days men of science have to be detec
tives to some extent. Traps are con
stantly being laid for them.
Soon after Sir Harry Johnston an
nounced the discovery of the okapi an
animal having points of resemblance to
' t
fill 1,1 HUNG CHANG. ; '.1
both the xebra and "tbe giraffe In -he
Semllika forest region of Central Af
rica, a letter was received at the Na
tional museum In Washington from a
man Id New England, who said that for
many years be was stationed as a
trader in the region named. He de
clared that tbe okapi were exceedingly
common. His knowledge of zoology
was then very limited, and as a result,
he had labored under tbe impression
that the okapl was known to science.
Tbe announcement of Sir Harry's dis
covery was tbe first intimation of tbe
scientific Importance of this animal.
This much of tbe letter is all well
enough, but be spoiled the whole by
offering for a "modest consideration,"
to return to Africa and secure for the
institution a dozen or more live speci
mens of this animal.
Side by side with the advance of an
thropological science, the great relic In
dustry has kept pace, and, as a result,
a very large part of the time of the
government anthropologists in tbe lab
oratory as well as In the field Is occu
pied by ferreting out frauds. At pres
ent only seven or eight of the sacred
books or codices of tbe Aztecs are
known to exist, these being scattered
about in the libraries of Rome, Paris,
Madrid, Berlin and London. Archeol
ogistt have long entertained hopes of
finding a few more of these strange
books bidden away In some obscure
corner of Mexico, and the Joy of one of
the leading archeologlsts of America
may be imagined when two months ago
he received information of a rather
vague character that a work of this
sort had turned up in a remote quarter
of Mexico.
He went Immediately to the region
where, according to report, the codex
was found, sought out tbe shrewd Mex-
lean, who pretended to he the finder
looked at the work, became satisfied
that it was genuine, and nurchased
for a large sum. But he had no more
than secured the work when he began
to grow susdIcIous.
His suspicions increasing, he deelrlert
to stop over. In Washington and sub
mit nis una to Professor William FT
Holmes, curator of the Department of
Arcneology or the National museum
This he did. Professor Holmes held
the COdex UD to his nose, and remnrlrerl
that it "smelled new." In short, the
story was this:
When a certain French archeologist
was in Mexico he employed as a
draughtsman the Mexican from whom
the duped archeologist secured the
codex, and durine his serviee rhl Mot.
lean learned all about Aztec antiquar
ies. When his employer left the
draughtsman devoted himself to manu
facturing bogue antiquities, his mas
terpiece being the fraudulent codex, for
even such It proved to be.

OMENS OF ROYAL DEATHS.
When Belle Bins Thirteen and Phan
torn Chip Appear.
A grewsome story came from London
of the appearance of the "phantom
barge of the Thames" for three succes
sive nights preceding the death of the
queen. This phantom barge of the
Thames appears - when a member of
the royal family Is about to die, just
as the celebrated "white lady of the
Hohenzollerns" gives warning of the
death of a monarch of that family. And
when this phantom barge appears glid
ing through the low-lying shadows and
night mists of the river the great clock
of Westminster, Big Ben, gives thir
teen strokes at midnight instead of his
ordinary dozen. Just now any num
ber of Thames watermen can be found
who say they have seen the phantom
barge and heard Big Ben strike his
ominous number.
There are well-authenticated In
stances of Big Ben having struck thir
teen at midnight Once a soldier on
sentry duty at Windsor was charged
with having slept on post and was sen
tenced to be shot runs a story in the
Portsmouth Times. It was charged
that he was asleep there at midnight
of a certain night His defense was
that he was not asleep and that he had
heard Big Ben in London strike thir
teen at the moment he was charged
with having been sleeping on duty. It
was proved that on that night Big
Ben had struck thirteen and had been
heard In Windsor. The man was par
doned. " This is a recorded case, but
the record does not say that ary catas
trophe happened to the royri; family
the next day.
It is said that the phantom barge ap
peared on the Thames at midnight and
Big Ben- struck thirteen on the night
before the death of the prince consort
and that the same things happened the
night preceding the death of the Prin
cess Alice and of the Duke of Clar
ence. When the phantom barge ap
peared on Jan. 13, 1892, the night be
fore the death of the Duke of Clar
ence, Another boat, pulled by four men,
gave chase. The phantom boat glided
swiftly toward the terrace of the
House of Commons and vanished. The
pursuing boat dashed against the stone
embankment and was wrecked.
A warning which applies to the death
of sovereigns only is the fall of one
of the stones at Stonehedge, the great
Druid relic on Salisbury Plain. A
stone certainly did fall there on the
night of the death of the late queen.

CHOOSING A CAPTAIN.
Tne Rongb. and Tumble Custom of the
' Japanese Fishermen of Hawaii.
Where several years ago the fishing
for tbe supplying of tbe Honolulu mar
ket was done almost exclusively by the
natives In their canoes and a few
Chinamen, now tbe bulk of the work is
done by tbe Japanese, who are at it in
great numbers.
The boats which they use are built
here after patterns used In Japan, and
once in a while an Oriental steamer ar
riving from the west brings an import
ed fishing boat which tbe fishermen
think is superior to those of local manu
facture. The boats are of a peculiar
shape and are of different sizes, some
able to accommodate but three men.
which is an ordinary crew, and others
are large enough for seven or eight
men.
Up to tbe time that the vessel is
launched there is no captain selected
for tbe boat Tbe choosing of this im
portant factor in every case is left un
til the boat is in tbe water. It is known
who the members of the crew are, and
from them tbe captain Is selected.
When the boat is In the water and
moored securely, the members of the
crew, who are generally the owners of
the boat strip themselves and get into
the boat Then the fun of making tbe
selection of the commander begins
There is no voting or drawing of lots
to settle the matter. At a given signal
from one of the crowd on shore, who
are watching, the men in tbe boat be
gin with all their might to try to throw
each other out Into the water. Each
man is against the other, and so the
struggle, as a usual thing, lasts a long
time and is remarkably exciting. All
the time the play goes on the friends
of the contestants yell words of cheer
to the struggling men In the boat and
throw buckets of water on them and
Into the boat, seemingly with the idea
of making the battleground more slip
pery as well as refreshing to the men
at work. As soon as a man is thrown
out of the boat he must stay out, but
may assist with water if he so desires.
The man who stays in the boat longest
or rather who is able to put all the
! others out of the boat, has by his prow
' ess shown himself competent to be cap
tain, and so he is greeted with much
applause and showered with congratu
lations at the termination of the scuffle,
i There Is no appeal from the selection
so made, and the man so chosen con
tinues to be captain1 until he voluntarily
I retires or sells out his share in the boat
is due to the originality and simplicity of the
combination and also to the method of manu
facture, which is known to the California Fig
Syrup Co. only, and which ensures that per
