THE DIARY OF LI HUNG CHANG.
(Continued from page 3.)
And so with Essen. Herr Krupp has established a great industrial plant there and provided bread and beer to theu- sands. Even if not one of his guns was ever fired he would still be a great base- factor of his country. But, as it is, ho is still groater from the Gorman point of view. He has won many victor es for his country, victories that the public know nothing about. The noise of Essen to-day is the song of peace; to-morrow it may be the voice of a united Germany speaking through thousand Essen mouths to an enemy."
Captain Ruffbach accompanied me here: by the request of Bismarck, and I am glad he did, for he seems to know about everything and is able to tell what ke knows. The captain was for many years employed at Peking and Canton in Con- sular capacities, and writes well in Chinese. I think I shall ask the Kaiser to send bim back with me.
TOY CANNON AND A MORAL,
Herr Krupp presented me with a fine steel-framed painting of himself yester day. I asked for it because of my great admiration for him. He said that Muller had painted the picture for his wife, Mme. Krupp, but that she was delighted to let me have it. Herr Krupp also made me a present of a complete miniature battery of artillery of a nice size for children to play with. In fact, he had them drawn into my room by six little schoolgirls all dressed in yellow and haul. ing the little cannons by yellow ailk ribbons,
One of the little girle thought, it was real war, I imagine, for she was vory much frightened, and after a while began to cry. And she was the one that "drovo" the others, too, and probably was captain of the battery. I could not help thinking that that was often the way, for I remem. ber that once, while fighting the Tongs in Senchi, we had officers that were mere cowards, while the common men would fight bravely,

others were present when the gift of the battery of artillery was made and accepted. I spoke in reply to Herr Krupp's brief speech, and Captain Ruff- bach translated it excellently. But he overlooked my last sentence, and I called his attention to it. He grew very red in the face, and it was evident that he was somewhat embarrassed, but I only re-j peated my statement, and he in turn gave it to the little company. Poor fellow, he thought it was going to offend the party!
But as soon as Ruffbach's words were out of his mouth, the whole company burst into laughter, and Horr Krupp actually slapped me upon the shoulder and acted like a merry brother.
You shall have one; yes, a real battery," he said a couple of times..
You see, I had told him that while I appreciated highly his compliment to myself as the representative of the Chinese Throne and people, I believed his great gun works would be made better Known in Eastern Asia by a battery of big guns!
