NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Li Hung-shang.
The death of LI HUNG-CHANG, the Grand Old Man of China; will certainly come as a shock to the Powers at the present moment, for it was mainly to him they looked to con- duct all negotiations on behalf of China, he being the only statesman she possessed capable of understanding and dealing with foreign affairs. Capable he most undoubtedly was, as many of the European Powers know to their cost, for he was the foremost of Oriental diplomats and has probably done more to throw dust in the eyes of Europe the loss of LI HUNG-CHANG most keenly of then any other living man. Russia will feel all, for to him she looked to carry to a success. ful issue the new Manchurian Agreement and this his strong Russophile leanings would un- doubtedly have led him to do. In fact his ill- ness was supposed to have been merely a diplo matic indisposition, induced by the refusal of the Empress Dowager to overrule the protests Manchurian Agreement despiteall opposition. of the Southern Viceroys and conclude the But if Li was acting in this instance he acted too well, for there does not seem to be the least doubt that the arch-diplomat has at last gone the way of all flesh, and has done so at 2 most inopportune moment for the Powers. -It is thus hardly to be wondered at that our Tientsin Correspondent regards the situation with anxiety, for LI HUNG-CHANG's successor may.throw the whole state of affairs into chaos, either by failure to grasp the details of the situation, by, over confidence or, as our American cousins would put it, from sheer cussedness. :

This was over the China- Japan War, and Li continued to sink in the Imperial estimation until we find him in December deprived of his rank but still allowed to retain his post. About the same time, too, he was found guilty of trespassing in the Imperial hunting park and was fined a year's pay which, as it only amounted to eighty taels, could not be said to be a very heavy fine from the European point of view. But the Empress Dowager soon found that she could not do without the old statesman, and, in 1895, his services were requisitioned to sue for.

But though the Southern Chinese respected him as Viceroy they do not appear
