THE RESIGNATION OF ADMIRAL
LANG.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1890.
the
on the ancient ways" has got the upper hand, The indifference that the Viceroy Li displayed the other day at the destruction of a large part of the railway is a sigu of the times. Since the Marquis Tseng died, there is no one to urge t country forward; he himsell was afraid to do much, but his influence was on the right side. The outlook now is as unpromising as it can be. Even the most ardent admirers of the Viceroy of Chibli must be a little shaken by the duplicity he has shown in Admiral Lang's case; a duplí city which he and his Admiral Ting will both not improbably regret before very long.
EDITORS PERILS.
The popular idea as to na editor's life is that It has most of the sweels, and very few of the bitters which fall to the lot of other beings. How far this is the case only those who have had an extended practical experience of editorial work can form a just conclusion. Even the editor of a small country weekly journal-a man who sometimes, in his own person, combines the parts of proprietor, editor, reporter, and general overseer of the concern has his perils, and to his mind, the pleasures are very few and far between. In a word his experience is often the exact reverse of what, happens to be the popular belief.
An "inspired "Chinese apologist; who adopts the nom de plume Nameless, writes to the N. C. Daily News as follows, on the above subject Your article of the 31st of July on the resignation of Captain Lang from the Pei- yang avy is very able and excellent, and it is only fair that the Chinese side is also heard from before final judgment is passed on the case. That the Captain is an efficient, honour- able and capable officer in every way, I do not, for a moment, dispute; but what his rent position in the Chinese navy, was is what I propose to bring forth. In Viceroy Li's
It will probably be a surprise to be told that memorial to the Throne of his engagement of a foreign officer as naval adviser to the editors have, an unusually large proportion of Pei-yang squadron Captain Lang was called perils to face. Some have a distinctly humorous That a B-igadier si e, though whether the scribe so regards them Brigadier-General Lank General is not an Admiral is plain, and that a is open to questiar, For instance, the writer, naval adviser is not Commander of the navy is while connected a few years ago with a leading
How Captain Lang, became
local newspaper in a northern county, was equally plain. generally addressed as Admiral Lang is inex-suspected of having written a sketch, which was held to be to the detriment of some hundreds plicable, perhaps through courtesy, but it is cer- tainly carrying courtesy too far. Being only a of men engaged in making a new dock in the Brigadier-General in rak and naval adviser neighbourhood. As a matter of fact, the real in position, Captain Long could not have culprit was not even suspected, been the equal of Ting, who was appointed by Imperial Decree as the Admiral of the Pei-yang naval forces. True, the literal translation is Major-General, but it being the highest military rank of both the army and the navy in China the term of Admiral is not inapplicable. People, as a rule, underrate the powers of Admiral Ting and believe he is under the thumb of Viceroy Li. Far from belog so, Admiral Ting can memorialise the Thrase independently of the Viceroy and can offer his humble opinion to his most august Majesty with- out consulting the Board of Admiralty. The engagement of Captain Lang as naval adviser to the Pei-yang squadron was really a concer- son on the part of Admiral Ting, who, knowing his own deficiencies, acquiesced complacently in the wishes of Viceroy L. Had he objected from the first, the Viceroy, great and powerful as he is, would have thought thrice before daring to farce an adviser on him. It is obvious, then, that Captain Lang bore the same relation to Admiral Ting as Mr. Denny did to the Prime Minister of Corea !
Bearing these ficts in mind let us review again the Hongkong incident in a new light-in the Chinese light, if one likes to call it to. Ad- miral Ting set out for Hainan with four cruisers, and the Admiral's flag was hauled down because the Admiral had gone. Suppose the Admiral's flag were left flying the public would have been led to believe there were two Admirals on board the Pel-yang squadron, and there was only one. Capinin Lang thought otherwise and complained: the Vice ay, valuing his services, tried to please bim without coming into conflict with Admiral Ting, so he ordered the flying of a flag with four, instead offive, colours. Viceroy Li can do many things, but he could not make Captain Lang an Admiral without the Throne's sanction, and the Throne had already appointed Ting as the Admiral. Captala Lang chose to consider the attempt on the part of the Viceroy to please blin as an offence and being so offended be resigned. At all times orders were issued in Admiral Ting's name, so Captain Lang bad really no authority to be deprived of. Asa naval adviser Captain Lang did his duties faithfully, be brought the fleet into shape, be disciplined the, men well, be mancavred the squadron in perfect manner, and in all these he was well seconded by the Captains and officers, some of whom had received their education at home and had served in the British navy. True, the valuable services of a very valuable officer are lost to the Chinese navy, nevertheless the navy will stand. I do not say it can, at once, be matched against the powerful navies of Europe, still under her present Admiral, captains and officers she will grow strong and mighty. A navy is not built in one day: China can afford to wait."
|
A number of the navvies were told off by their commades to watch for the writer is the streets after dark, and in the event of succeeding therein, they were to give him a thorough sousing in the harbour as a punishment for having hinted that the wielders of the pick-axes and shovels did not earn their wages. Fortunately the scheme be came known outside, and the intended victim could not be caught. He was, however, informed by letter, by one of the foremen of the gang-the leader of the aggrieved party-that if he dared to show himself on the dock works again the navvies would wreak summary vengeance on him,
The laws of England provide a host of perils which have to be faced by the editor-how many the wisest cannot tell. Libel is the most prolific source of anxiety, it being well know that some of the shadier solicitors are always on the watch for statements or references which may possibly provide material for a case if the persons referred to can only be persuaded that they have been injured thereby. This class of peril is often too serious to be made the subject of mirthful comment. While in America or in France an editor would he called upon to justify, by lethal weapons, statements made in bis journal, bere the business is conducted by legal process to the great enrichment of the lawyers, the discom- fiture of the defendant, and generally to the financial benefit of the plaintiff especially if the awarding of damages rests with a jury,
Commenting on the letter the editor very pertinently remarks:-Our correspondent's letter is founded on a complete misconception. Captain Lang was neither a naval instructor nor naval adviser to Admiral Ting. Indeed in a quite recent number of the Peking Ganitis he is called the. "Deputy Commander-in-Chief" of the Peiyang squadron. When at Lord Salisbury's solicitation he consented to rejoin the Chinese service, he stipulated and agreed distinctly with the Viceroy Li that he was to be in all respects Admiral Ting's equal, with "the say," as it is called in commercial pariance. The whole executive was to be in his hands, but Admiral Ting, to save the face of the Chinese, was to be his nominal equal. All orders from the govern- ment, or from. Li to the squadron, were to be addressed jointly to Admirals Ting and Lang, and all despatches signed by them Jointly; and these stipulations were carried out until the Incident in Hongkong. The ignorance and utterly unnallor-like bearing of Admiral Ting, who to this day hardly knows the bow of one of his ships from the stern, were cheerfully borne by Admiral Lang in his zeal for the task he had been persuaded to assume, of licking the Reiyang squadron into shape, and he would be the first to allow that he was "well seconded by the captains and officers" who had received their education at home and had served in the British navy." If he were merely naval adviser, he would not require any rank at all; it was because he was the executive of the squadron, responsible for it, that he and our government insisted that he should have equa! rank with his colleague Major-General Ting, The suggestion that Captain Lang must have been called Admiral through courtesy" is altogether too childish.
There, is a more demonstrative side to the. question of editors' perils, but happily for the wearied Journalists, it is rarely practised in England, though one does occasionally hear of editors of alleged comic papers getting thrashed for impertinent and distasteful remarks which find a place in their columns.

THE GREATEST NOVELTY TRAVELLING IN THE EAST.
America, that fand which has a record for everything sensational, furnishes numerous instances of editors being lynched and assassi- nated. One of the most striking features in the history of American newspapers, indeed, in the danger to which those connected with them aro exposed when they offend the public. Some of the exciting incidents connected with this phase of American life are related by Mr. Hud- son in his History of United States Journalism.' In 1789 a band of armed Federals took postes- sion of the office of the 'Aurora,' in Philadelphia, TROUPE OF PERFORMING ANIMALS, and beat the editor and his son within an inch

of their lives. During the war of 1812, between | LAST FEW DAYS. England and the United States, the m-b twice demolished the offices of the Baltimore Re publican, which was opposed to the con- tinuance of the war.
In more recent days, Colonel Webb, the editor of the New York Courier, found it necessary to bring his West Point education into practice; he turned his building into a fortress, armed his porters, editors, clerks, printers, and friends, and quietly waited an attack. The mob marched down Wall Street, prepared to demolish the establishment. They halted before it, but all within was still and silent. The mob was packed in a narrow street, expecting the signal to begin the assault, when someone told thein of Webb's preparations. In a short time the street was empty.
During the "draft riots" of 1863 the office of the New York Tribune' was surrounded by a mob of five thousand people, some of whom had got within the walls and had begun to set it on fire, but the courage of the police and a timely
care drove off the rioters.

Another form of editors' perils used to be far from uncommon in America, in the shape of assassination or attempts at that form of out- rage, but no case is on record as having occurred within recent years. In 1868 the editor of the Richmond Southern Opinton was shot at bis office door. The assassin was captured and tried for the offence, but was acquitted.
