Aiken, written at Tientsin, China, Oct. 10, 1808: “We are about leaving Tientsin for this Winter, at least, going some 800 li or Chinese miles, about 300 English miles, up the Grand Canal to Lin Ching, where the Wei river joins the Canal in western Chantung. We travel in one or two “house-boats,” a smaller one carrying our goods and freight, and one or two servants, the larger accommodating YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY. ourselves and two servants and as much of our goods and chattels as we need or can stow away; to say nothing of the four or five boatmen on each boat. Out boat is divided into three or four little compartments inside, the one next the stern—though separated from it by a space of open deck—being a very small, narrow one which answers for our little traveling kitchen, the next larger, and having a high raised surface of boards on which we can put our mat- tress and springs and sleep very com- fortably, the next having a little table with stools on one side which answers nicely for a dining table; we can sub- stitute our own ordinary chairs for the . stools, and a small-sized stove in the opposite corner with pipe running out through the side of the boat promises to keep us comfortable when the weather is cold, as it is likely to be at night on the river at this season. Still another compartment with wide boards for benches on either side brings us up to the open forward deck, the bench being a convenient sleeping place for one of our little boys. I should have another item for our class report, were you getting up one at present, as a little daughter has been added to our family since writing you, who is now six months old, and as well and happy as possible. I should say that our jour- ney up the Canal will take some ten days or two weeks, so it becomes a question -of some importance as to where we are going to live, with our -three small children, all this time. We are in the midst of a violent con- servative reaction in the Chinese government at the present time, as the cablegrams will already have informed you, the Emperor’s plans for rapid re- form having been overruled with a strong hand by the Empress Dowager. The Emperor undoubtedly had not taken. sufficient pains to prepare the way and insure support. for his reforms; still everything he did, nearly, was in the right direction, and the current for change in the direction of western ideas and progress, not to say also Chris- tianity, is setting so strongly in China that it will take more than the Em- press Dowager to stop it, great as may be her power. However, she herself is well known to be in favor of the new ideas, in a number of respects, in spite of the position in which she is at pres- ent.” ’81—The partnership formed April 1, 1808, by J. R. McKee, ‘81, and F. D. Helmer, ’81, as advisory brokers in New York City, has been dissolved. On Dec. 1, 1898, Helmer re-entered the em- ploy of the Vacuum Oil Co., of Roches- ter, N. Y., and he expects to sail with his wife from San Francisco, Dec. 15, 1898, for Kobe, Japan, where he will represent that company as manager of its business in Japan.
