Our way for two or three miles was up the mighty river, past the business houses of the foreign setilements of Hankow We took ship in Japanese concession, and steamed the German quarter with its fine banks and tl branch offices of the North German Lloyd and the Hamburg- A We next passed the immense brick te factory owned by the Russians, and (hen went on beyond the great ex- porting houses of the Americans, French and British, After that we skirted the native city of Hankow, which is bigger than Boston, seeing the people looking like gigantic blue ants as they climbed up the steps from the river to the streets which line the bluff, During the voyage our captain us through shipping such as can be nowhere outside of China. There were seean liners whic had come up the Yangtsc-Kiang for tea; Chinese, Japane: Britleh and French river steamers, and hundreds of great Chinese junks, with smaller ft of all sizes. As we passed the HMun river, which flows into the Yangtse between Hankow and Han Yang, looked up through a long thicket of makts of such craft a{ anchor, enabling us to bellevo the statoment that China has moro beats than all the rest of the world put together, On the opposite side of the Han we could seo the Immense steel works of the vice- roy and the smokestacks of hix arsenals.

The city stands high over the river, and we came to anchor at one of the granite stairwuys which lead up to the bund. In State Through Wuchang. The viceroy had fixed the hour of our coming, and had sent two of his carriages to bring us to the palace. One would have sufficed for the consul and myself. for neither is fat; but it was more courteous to send two, and 50 two we had Each riage had its liveried coachman and footman, and each was preceded by two officials on horseback, who wore crystal buttons as big around as a walnut on the top of their caps, and carried long whips to clear the common people out of the way., Our carriages were of the kind which the anti-foreign Chinese call “devil- carts.” They were rubber-tired coupes imported from Europe. They were aphol- stered in fine Russia leather and equipped with little mirrors that the passengers may primp themsalves as they go. Qur way to the palace was through the busiest parts of the city, and we saw everywhere the signs of China’s awak:n- ng. The streets had bern widenel In most places the, were clean and well drained, and I saw stone gutters along the #ides of the chief business avenues. Uniformed policemen with clubs stood at every corner to handle the crowd, and every now and then passed soldlers. His excellency Chen Kwel-Lung has an army half as large as that of the United States, and It is equipped with forelyn guns and has been drilled in foreign style We went by a large drill grounds and barracks, on the banks of the river, and farther on were guarded by troops in blue uniforms, As neared the palace we aw more and soldlers and found © panies of them on guard in the vari- ous| courts, the by rican steered seen we we more the Vicecoy's Yamen. 1 wish 1 could show you the where the viceroy received us.

He spoke kindly of the United States, teen inches back of the hat, and it bobbed up and down as he shook :l\ head while he talked. Out of the bagk of the hat hung a long queue of an olly black hue.

At this point the consul remarked that I was an author of school books and had written some textbooks on geographical subjects. IEW OF HANKOW. This évidently improved my standing in the viceroy’s eyves, and he talked of the modern educational movement in China, saying that it had come to stay and that there would eventually be up-to-date public schools in every city and town. I asked as to the new constitution, excellency replie ““There is no doubt that China will have a constitutional government. Our plans for it are well established, and the preparations are now going on. It is & great task to re- organize a government like ours. We have been moving along our present line for over & thousand years, and. we have to Intro- duce our new administrative methods step by step. We have a fixed plan for edu- cating the people to the new government, nd this is already In operation over the empire. Our educational plan runs through elght years, and at the end of that time we shall have a Parliament at Peking and shall have become a constitutional monarchy The prince regent is in favor of the scheme and since the deaths of the emperor, Kwang-Su, and the great dowager a num- ber of Imperial edicts have been publishec urging that_the work be carried on along the lines upon which It has been started.” o iy anton-Hankow Hailway. 1 here referred to the Canton-Hankow railway, for which Americans had the con- cession and asked whether that road would be bullt. His excellency replied that the matter had been given over to other of- ficlals, but that he thought that it would be rapidly pushed on to a completion. I understand that the road ls resurveyed, and that the rails for it are already being made at the Han Yang iron works. The viceroy tells me he is anxious to have railroads built throughout his prov- inces, and that their industrial resources will probably make Wuchang and Han- Kow great railroad centers. He then re- ferred to the fact that one can now go from Hankow to Parls by rall.

The town of Fairfleld, in Freestone county, Texas, is dry, though it is entitled to saloons and wants them. This is because of the provisions of the state liquor law, limiting the number of saloons in each precinet to one for every 50 Inhabltants This dry town went wet a few weeks ago and almost immediately applications for permits were filed with the comptroller for the maximum number of saloons al- lowed. The comptroller approved the appli- cations. No saloons have been opened, however, because the applications were taken out by prohibitionists. e/ “Troubles of a Humorist.
