YUAN SHIH KAI.
Yuan Shih Kai, the new President of the Chinese Republic, is said to Ixaye done more for his native land than any Chinaman living, yet at one period he failed to win the confidence of his countrymen, nad was dismissed from office. This powerful man. advanced gradually from iho -iiost obscure origin to a post of supreme
power. He is in. China what Cardinal Wolsey was in England before tho Pope's refusal to divorce Henry VIII., what Bismarck was in Germany after the battlo of Sedan. A will of iron, the gift of foresight, an intellect r.aturally searching and subtle, and the firmest grasp of the essentials of administrative and diplomatic policy have been elements in his uplifting from poverty almost to kingship.^
