Today it is estimated that the amount of dirt they carry down from the highlands of Thibet and of China is so great that it forms every two months an island a mile square in the sea and at the mouth of the Yangise. I sailed by the Tsung Ming island, which is thirty-two long and about ten broad. It has been built up within 100 years or so, and has citles and villages and supports more than 1,000,000 people. The sea at the Yangtsd is filled with little islands, many of which has grown up within of men now living, and along banks of the river I can see the it has brought down At some points these t are from one to two feet re of as marked colors as The river has : of freight water-tight cars vast volume York to Chicago and Within the NALS AND DIKES.

They are about twenty feet high and from thirty to forty feet wide at the base, and their tops the roads and paths of the country. Along them you see all sorts of Chinese char- | acters trudging along, their figures sithoutted against the freight car of China. and a nativo coolie pushes it. comes another species of the same, a man carrying ends of the bow-like pole which rests upon Next you s wearing red pantaldons and carrying a parasol of paper gay as she hobbles up You note mandarins riding in blue chairs carricd between two bare-legged who trot along in front and behind and among the nobles, the common people on foot.

There ure s creeks that empty into the Yangt of these are filled with junks, it is said u can go which cut up you see the masts and boats running parailel with the river, their white salls growing smaller in the distance, until they form white specs upon the dim line of the horizon. The cost of making and keeping up this series of embankments must be enormous. The Yangtse changes its course every now and then; it cuts away the soll and new dikes have to be built. In many places there are scveral rows of earth, one behind the other, and the remains of discarded embankments are everywhere visible. In the summer the river rises and floods every- thing not so diked. Houses are often swept away, villages are destroved and the land becomes a great inland sea. All along the course are the vestiges of past floods, and lere and there you see graveyards that the river has eaten into, and you note the gap- ing holes left by the coffins. At one point about 100 miles from where 1 now am, I saw a cofin extending half way out of the bank. It undoubtedly contained a skeleton, and the wood was rotten with age. The water was then within a foot of it, and by this time it must have been washed out to sea. Here and there we could see men irri- gating the sofl by tread-mill pumps, worked ¢ by half naked Celestials, and everywhere man seemed to be waging a brave fight with nature and gotting the best of it DISPOSING OF THE DEAD. Speaking of coffins, I could see them now and again lying on the river banks. They were generally covered with a thatch of straw, and this is a common way for the pecplé to dispose of their dead. They have not enough money to give their friends a decent burial, and they lay the coffins out to wait ugtil they can earn the funeral ex- pense. Near Shanghai I saw houses for the storing of dead bodies. They were littie one-story huts, with a window or hole near the top. The fresh coffins'are put into this window and placed upon the ledge, half sticking out. The next comers push the cofins on the windows into the charnel house and put their own infant dead into their places, to be shoved in turn by those who follow them. As to the scenery along the Yangtse, however, it is a general idea that China is one vast plain, covered with grave mounds. I saw some graveyards, it is true, but they were comparatively few. The people bury near their houses when they .can, and the graveyards were probaby far back from the river. They use the elevated spots and the hills, A large part of the country is rolling, and the idea that China consists of one vast flat plain is incorrect. Where am now writing I am surrounded by mag- nificent hills, and all along this great river you find breaks of rolliug country. I saw the snow on the mountains when I came up past the city of Kiuklang, and at Ichang, above here, there are gorges which compare with the canons of the Colorado in their mag- nificent grandeur. These are 1,000 miles in- land, and the sources of the Yangtse are two miles above the sea. These gorges are narrow chasms, with a current 50 swift that the boats which pass up them have to be hauled along by gangs of men, and the water in them, it Is said sometimes rises 100 feet above ordinary lev They are comparatively short, and if they could be passed by steamers the vast region of the Yungtse could be tapped, and steamboats could travel 2,000 miles juto the interior. There is still talk of building steamers small enough and powerful gfough to . withstand the current of thi gorge! and it is not an impossibility that whole of interior China will at some time be opened up by steam A COMMERCIAL HIGHWAY. The Yangtse today is one of the greatest trade routes of the world. China is said to have more boats on her waters than there are in all the rest of the world comhined She is the best watered country in God’s green earth and has more wonderful water- ways. Suppose you could stretch a river wider than the Mississippi In an almost straight line from New York to Chicago. Suppose it to be navigable for the biggest ocean steamers for that distance from May 10 October, and let ships from Russia, Ger- many, England and other parts of the world sail through it and load at i wharves. This would be about what can be done on the Yangtse Kiang below Ichang. It y0u wish ‘0 cirry cut the comparison, how- ever, you must let the great river extend further west. If you could stretch it on a stralght line it would go to Denver, and still be navigable for large hoats and barges. You must push it on further west to San Francisco, and you are still 500 miles from its source. It is said to be 3,500 miles long, and has its rise in the mountains of Thibet, and has tributaries all algng its course. It tops two great lakes, which give it canal communication with other provinces, and the most of the tea of the world comes from the lands south of it, and is hipped across the Poyang lake, near where 1 now am, and sent to Hankow for sale. A GREAT INLAND SEA. In coming into the Yangtse its mouth is 80 wide that it is hours after you see the muddy color of its banks before you can distinguish the banks, and for the first fifty miles of our journey we passed through what scemed to be a great inland sea rang- ing from twenty to fifty miles In width. Our first hills were passed about fifty miles inland. Seven hundred mies from the coast I found its width to be more than a mile, and it holds that width nearly all the way from Shanghal to Ichang, a distance of about 1,000 miles. It. contains many long, narrow islands, and it now and then branches out into different streams or cut- offs from the main bed of the river, which at high water materially shorten the course. It is as full of modern steamers as the Mississippi, and bhas in addition the thousands of odd boats and junks of the Chinese. I could fill this paper with the mention of the different kinds of craft and their loads, and among the ships there are many which would be a surprise to A Ti- can readers, There are Clinese life boats, for instance, everywhere. They are low junks with s and , and they watch the river during the storms and pick such sampans and fishing boats as are over- turned. T are under the control of the districts through which they go and form a sort of river police, Now and then they capture a smuggler or a pirate, and here and there outside of some of the lages I saw boats which had b N cut in half and set up on end. I asked what they were, and 1 was told that they had belonged to phiates and thieves. The cul- prits had been caught and beheaded, and thelr boats were thus put up as warnings 1o their brothers to beware of the law. Such boats are usually put wp at the places at which the crimes were gommitted. Everywhere. you megt with native and government officlals, ~ The different pro- vinces have their customs officers, and they levy a heavy tax on all the native boat each official gets his squeeze, and the tax tion is terribly heayy. The ecustoms col- lected for the gencra) govermment are in the hands of foreigners, for the emperor cannot rely upon the honesty of his own officials, and so an Irishman; Sir Robert Hart, collects his duties for him, and his boats and officials’ are st all the leading ports. You see thelr customs officers scat- tered all along the banks of the river, and at high water they sometimes use the little huts of bamboo, which are brought down in the rafts from the ugper Yang PRODUCTIVE WEALTH This valley of the ¥gmgtse Kiang is a vast garden. All along s course the grass Is as green as Egypt in winter, and two or three crops a year are everywhere grown. In looking over the lagdscape you see no fences or barns. The pgople live in villag made of thatched huts, with walls of plaited reeds, which they plaster inside and out with mud. Sometimes the huts stand alone in the town, and at other times they are Joined together in blocks. The best of them are not more than twesty feet square, and the averag: farm house,hss only one story The earth forms the §ogr. You could, I venture, build a good gme for 35. The houses stand flush with dhe slimy mud side- walk, and the filthier and dirtier this is, the better it seems to pleasa the people. Each village has a clump of grees about it, and in looking over the valley you see hundreds of these clumps, and realize the force of the statement that the whole empire is cne vast village. Many of the villages, I am teld, consist of only one family or clan, and the Chinese are said to take better care of their relatives and to work together better than any other people of the world. CITIES AND VILLAGES. The best of the towns here are close to the river, and we have passed many walled citles, with pagodas and temples rising above the other ridge-shap:d roofs. At some of the bigger centers this ship stops to take on and discharge cargo,.and I have gone through a number of cities since I came to China the names of which I had n:ver heard Take the city of Nganking—not Nanking, the old capital of China, you have all read of that—but Nganking. How many of you have ever realized that it existel Well we have just left it. It is a cf about 500,000 people and is bigger than St. Louls. It is the old capital of the state of Ganhuli, which has a population of more than one- third of the whole United States, though it is not as big as the state of New York It liss right on the banks of the Yangtse, about 150 miles above Nanking, and it has miles of walls about it. These walls are twenty-five feet high and so wide that you could drive a buggy around the city on the top of them. Nganking is well built and w, though it was nearly ruin-d during ping rebeliion, back in the fift At that time the rebels held it under siege, and food became o scarce that human flssh was used, and, it is said, was sold in_market places for its weight in silver.

It is a seven-storied tower of rose pink, rising, as it were, right from the banks of the river. about half that of th It is many-sided with a beautiful cap it in rings, like thosc in Siam, to a pi to a height, T judg Washington mon and its top is dec of bronze, which of some of the ten This tower was being repaired w it and a framework of pole sca tenled from its base upward t more than 100 feet.

I was glad to e it, for it showed me that there is at least one place in China where the monuments of the past are re- spected, and where both the religion and the temples have not gone to sced. ¢M|\ l\.
