It will he remembered that during 'the nervous days when I'oUIiik wns entirely cut oil from the outside world the uinti who mine In for the bUckest oiavo cnm-TfNO, of adjectives the world over was Slieug, tlio Imiierlul director of tele graphs nnd railways. On the other llinnd, CoiihuI Cenernl Gooduow, who I was In communication with tlmt oftl clnl almost dally, holds him In highest regard. Mr. CJoodnow goes further and Weclnres tlmt while Slicng wns being Ibltterly attacked by tlio foreign press bo wns nctunlly In danger of being as sassinated for the proforelgn vlewn he wo liberally expressed. Mr. Goodnow 'Jinn a lenvo of absence covering TO lays, but expects to return to tils post Home time before the expiration of tlmt period. ; ""Despite the reports to the contrary." wild Mr. Ooodnow tlio other morning when Interviewed on the subject by a reporter of the Washington Star, "there was never ntiy Immediate danger of an outbreak In Shanghai. There was, however, n seriously tense feeling ex 'i!ns during tlio days Peking was a closed chapter. Wo were 7,000 foreign crs. Including women mid children, In the midst of three-quarters of u million Chinamen. The foreigners felt n little uneasy, but did not manifest It In any way. The Chinese, numberless though they were, also hail a secret fear of the foreign settlement. Such a feeling Momctlmes loads to trouble, but nothing enmo of It In tills Instance, happily. "Tun foreigners drove out among the Chinese dully just ns If nothing had happened In the north. My reception the llh of last July was attended. nB usual, by till the Chinese olllclals, and overythlng passed on without the slightest embarrassment or annoyaucu -on the part of ntiy one. "1,1 Hun.? Chang came to Shanghai curly In August. Those who saw hi in during hi visit to the United States several yen ago would be surprised at 'the feeblercss which has overtaken the distinguished old umu. lie Is now about 78 years cf age nnd never walks out without tie assistance of two coolies, ono on eld er arm. Ho still carries the pane given film by Mrs. (irntit. It was used by President Grant, and I.I taken great care of It. Ills once tall, erect stature Is now stooped, but mentally be Is as keen, ns astute as ever, nnd that moan-l be Is one of the most brll 'limit of minds In the world's affairs to day. "My last visit to I.I was a most pleasant (me. We bad learned lu -Shanghai that eight Kugtlsli mission .nrlus were Imprisoned In Chi II prov ince, of Allien I.I was viceroy. Ths Itrltalns were In desperate sauilts. we were tohi, nnd nothing short of tb NIKisllest action could save them. Tlio Kugllsb consul general. It so happened, wuh not eti the best of terms with I.I Hung-CliPUg at the time, nnd so 1 was Jtskcd to intercede. I asked I.I to teU grnph Immediately to Chi II that ho would bold the captors of the lJiigllsh. (iiicn personally responsible with l.VIr bends If anything befell the mission, jules. I.I sent the telegram gladly. The condition of the missionaries was nt once relieved and lu due time they were scut to Tleu-tsln. So my last impression of LI was that bo had sav pd the Uvea of eight white men. "This wits my last Interview with I.I. -and, by the way, It was the consult:!. tlou which led to the wild story tele graphed to the United States to the effect that the American government had made a bargain with I.I whereby 'lie was to be escorted to 1'cklug with an American guard and warships and afforded till protection. Such iv matter was never discussed betweeu us. Dip lomatic courtesies prevented my saying .anything nt the time ns to tlio purport of my visit with tho eminent viceroy. So you seo how erroucously history Is sometimes made." Speaking of tho much maligned Shout', Mr. Goodnow said: "Tho tuna who Is most deeply, con I corned In th" wefnreof tho ChlncM empire nnd who tins the, most nt stake Is Huong Tajon, the last name or tltln being pronounced 'Darfen.' In Chinese pronunciation the Tuai,a sound nearly like D, mid the J lias tho sound of It. Khetig Is the son inlaw cf LI Hung Cluing nnd Is tho vloomy's financial nd vlser. lie Is director general of rail ways nnd telegraph. Is president of th Chinese Merchant' Steam Navigation compnny, niierntlnic many lines ol fitentnem; owns lnre cotton mills nnd, In Miort, bus more to do with the semi foreign enterprises than any other man In the umpire. He represents the great est Investment of Chinese money lu on trrprlses Imported from the west. He Is the nmn upon whom all Chi new business people lean and Is sort of tin olllt'lnl financial adviser to the entire empire ni well ns to his distinguished fntlier-lu-lnw. "Sheng Is a man of almut 50 yenrs ol uge, strong In physique and nlilo of brain. He Is nnd has always been par tleulnrly friendly toward all American! nnd during the trouble of last summer was distinctly pro-American. He was so free In expressing his views to that end tlmt there wns constant fetir of III assassination by order of tho nntlfor clgn lenders. Some of the papers of the world attacked Shetig most bitterly nml accused him of lying and suppress ing the dreadful news of wholesale mawwero In Peking. It may bo true tlmt Shettg dll not tell us nil he knew, but MibseqiiHiit events have proved that wlmt Information ho did give out wns correct In almost every detail. He is n nmn 1 think very, very highly of. "Another man of whom I would speak In highest terms In the viceroy of N. :'ln, Liu Kun-YI. At the tint of the Tnlplug rebellion l.lu wns n clerk In tl lumber yard In Hankow, In 1 1 unit n province, most powerful nml warlike province nf the time. Liu talsed ti compnny for the Imperial gov ernment nnd came, through u serle of well defined military successes, to be one of the most prominent general t In tho tinny. In China military rani; nlso carries civil rank, so at the close of the rebellion Liu wns n civil govern or, although he had never held uu oflice before that time. He wns govern or for about a year. For tho Inst 35 years ho has ruled as viceroy. He is now about -SO years old. "Liu was viceroy at Canton when General Grant visited tho city. Liu iemomb.rs the general very well In deed. He eutertnlned Nollle Grant ot his home and she had an opportunity of observing the domestic conditions of In mandarin's household better than tiny other American woman perhaps. Liu Is n pro-American, Indeed, nnd does not hesitate to express himself ns such on all nnd any occasion. Liu and Shcng are the greatest factors In the friendliness that Is felt toward foreign ers In China today. "Chang Clilh-Tiing, viceroy of Han kow, Is another excellent man. He Is nbout 05 yenrs of age and has beon viceroy for a long period. He Is il protnl netit reformer mid has written many books on Chinese nfTalrs. Ho Is known ns ono of the greatest living exponents of the doctrines of Confucius. These men I have mentioned, together with the viceroys of Fu-Kow nnd Szechuen provinces, held quint HI out of 19 prov inces In China mid prevented the spread of the Iloxer movement. They are the men to whom nil honor mid consideration are due. They tool: tho course not through any special love for tho foreigners, but through tin enlight ened view of the best Interests of their country. "I endeavored to have the corre spondents In Shanghai meet these men nnd talk with them In regard to the crisis at Peking mid vicinity. I'.ut the newspaper men did not seem anxious to do so. I nsked them why It was, mid they replied that tho people of the United States knew no ono In China other than LI Hung Chang, nnd It was not their place to hunt up a new character to write about nnd from whom nn expression of views would have little weight with their readers. It was becnuso the correspondents did not know the men about whom they tlnnlly came to write that so many mis representations resulted." Mr. Goodnow Is satlstled that If the course laid down by the United States Is followed pence tonus may speedily ba arranged with Justice to all. Uucitlon AniMcrril.
