The adroitness of Yung Lu is acknowledged, but his political morale does not rank so high, He is accredited with loving display; it is a ❘ saying in Peking that he sels the style. His display must be met by large revenue; it is also a saying in Peking that he accepis only big gifs. He prefers the Chinese system of securing official revenue to the methods of more advanced countries. It is reported that

A PRECIOUS COTERIE.

It is to be feared that this is so. With the Empress Dowager as recognised Ruler, with the eunuch Li Lien-ying, and the First Grand Secretary Yung Lu, as means of approach to

her and to favour, there is not much likelihood of any very great moral regeneration in the Chinese body politic, Yung Lu is the only Premier China has to-day.

There was a period in the modern history of China, when Hung chang, the First Grand Secretary, and the Viceroy of the Metropolitan province, was spoken of in the foreign' Press as the Premier of China. This was not due to the fact that he was First Grand Secretary, which was then as it is now nominal position, though highest in civil rank, but to the fact that he was the strongest man in the Govern ment and, the most capable in the settlement of foreign affairs. Though living outside the capital, he was more powerful than any who appeared daily at Court.
