The schet-'e which has as f tonishe( the financial autocrats had its scr: rth in the brain of an American colored Wii an, George A. Butler. The father of this qui gautic banking scheme is the son of negao dis( treuts and was born in Washington, 1). bei ., in 1835. He became a linguist of con- han derable ability, lie had a brother attached par the French legation at Pails in a humble sev ipscity, and to him the future linancier lea ent twenty years ago. When Ansoi urlingame was appointed to represent the nited States at l'ekin he visited Paris on is way and took a liking to Butler, w th ad acquired quite a Parisian polish. utler spoke French and German Ii nently id had had soie knowledge of Chinese C c went with the American Ambasadotr pur Pekin, where he held a position as less lichee to the United States Legal ion cha is aptitude for acquiring foreign tongue. con as so great that after a short residence in in Lekin he mastered the mtandlarin Chinese.in ''Vhen Burlingame lft Perkin, Butler cia ;clded to remain in the country, where he uut id managed to obtain iiiluence amon' by mucial magnates. lie was appointed to sue Le position of warehouse keeper for the P a ell-known firm of lussell & ('o., on oit ianghal, owners of the fleet of merchant lish earners called the 'Shanghai Navigation troi ompany.' The position occupied 1)3 utler was most responsible, and the high- O t coufilence was reposed in his business ilities. The Bussell steamers were sohi Chinese business men, and the compainy i as subsequently known as the 'Chinese erehants' Steamship Company.' The new w >mpany did not retain the services of thu utler, but in a short time they found that me ey were being plundered by their own I. antrymen. At last they called in the siz >lored manager. Butler soon straightened t.he it the intricacies in which the accounts of lan Ce firm had been involvedl. nill When the war between I'rauce and nut lina was imminent, Butler succeeded in wi wing the fleet of steamers transferred to al! American company, hutrriedly organizcd sho ir the pittrpose, atnd with stars and stripes the iug, the ships contimued unmolested by fus e French to ply between other ports aidl eat .ianghai. At the close of the war the cia camers were retransferred to a company Chinese merchants, and the busine s ont putation of Butler was further enhanced. atl he Chinese government was hard up, and co rough the negotiations of Butler, a loan at a million taels was suecesstitlly iloated, coO ith the aid of foreign banks at Shanghai. iot uitler made an American and European COtl ur. lie went to London, where lie Ws dig ell received by the Marqiis Tseng, ni liinese ambassador at the court of St. to ties, up "In the course of that visit to London ,j is hatched the gigantic scheme whicli h:a^ nca rprised the financiers of the world.
