稼江 Kiang-ning
The city owes its present name, "Southern capital," to having been many times the capital of the Empire, the last occasion being in the Ming dynasty at the commencement of the 15th century. Nanking is also known as Kiang Ning Fu, being the chief city of the prefecture of Kiang Ning, and the seat of government for the provinces grouped under the designation of Kiang Nan. In official documents it is not considered to call the city Nanking, since the Government at Peking acknowledges but one capital. Besides Kiang Ning Fu, an elegant Chinese name commonly used is Kin Ling or "golden mound." From the 5th or 6th century B.C. to the present there has been a walled city at this place. Nanking was specified in the French Treaty of 1858 as one of the Yangtze ports to be opened to trade, but was not formally opened until May, 1899.
Nanking is situated on the south bank of the Yangtze, 45 miles beyond Chinkiang and 205 from Shanghai. From the river little can be seen of it except the long line of lofty grey brick walls which encircle it. The walls have an elevation varying from 40 to 90 feet, are from 20 to 40 feet in thickness, and 22 miles in circumference. They enclose a vast area, a large portion of which is wilderness or uncultivated land. The inhabited portion lies towards the south and west, and is several miles from the banks of the river. Whatever of architectural beauty or importance belonged to Nanking perished or was reduced to a ruinous condition at or before its occupation by the Taiping rebels. The world-famous Porcelain Tower, the most beautiful pagoda in China, was completely destroyed during this period of its history, and now only broken and scattered bricks remain of the structure that was once the glory of Nanking. It stood outside the walls on the south side of the city. The celebrated mausoleum of the Emperor Hung Wu, founder of the Ming dynasty (who died in 1398), with other tombs and monuments, known as the Ming Tombs, are just outside the eastern walls. There are many other interesting ruins in or near the city, including the remains of Hung Wu's Palace. Nanking was first brought into notice among Europeans in 1842, in which year the first British Treaty with China was signed here. During the Taiping rebellion no place suffered more.
It was first taken by assault by the Taipings on the Imperial forces on the 19th July, 1864, a fatal blow to the rebels. 19th March, 1853, and after sustaining a prolonged siege was recaptured by the
Although Nanking has recovered to a small extent from the prostration which attended its ill-treatment during the Taiping rebellion, it has never yet attained any commercial importance, but a brilliant future is predicted for the port if the railway schemes are carried out. "A new and brilliant era," a Commissioner of the Chinese Maritime Customs has written, "should dawn upon the port of Nanking, on account of its excellent position as a terminus for the railways which will bring down the immense mineral and other wealth of the provinces of Anhwei, Honan, and Shansi. The distance from either Honan or Shansi is about the same to Nanking as to Hankow, and the engineering difficulties of a railway down to the river opposite Nanking are no greater than those of a line to Hankow. The great advantage, then, which should secure to Nanking its position as the outlet for these rich provinces is the fact of its being so much nearer the sea than Hankow and accessible to the deepest- draught ocean vessels at all seasons of the year. It is therefore only natural that a line should have been projected from the mineral fields of Shansi to the village of Pukow, on the other side of the river to Nanking. Work has now commenced on a third line to run from Nanking to Changsha, to be known as the Ning-hsiang Railway, connect- ing up with the Shanghai-Nanking Railway at the Nanking end and with the Canton- Hankow Railway at the other end. Yet another line, from the mineral district of Hsin-yang in Honan, through Anhwei, with its terminus at Pukow, is also in contempla- tion. These three lines should revolutionise the commercial conditions at Nanking." The line from Shanghai to Nanking does not seem to have given the impetus to commercial life anticipated. Trains are running daily from Shanghai to Nanking and a short line has been completed connecting Hsiakwan, the port of Nanking, with the southern part of the city, a distance of six to eight miles. Work was commenced on the southern section of the Tientsin-Pukow line in January, 1909. The total length of the southern section of this line is 2363 miles, which was completed in 1912. During the past two or three years there has been "quite an air of progress," especially in building, and quite a Western aspect is being given to the ancient Capital of the Mings, as the new government buildings are all in foreign style, and so also are a growing number of shops and residences recently built for Chinese. The Naval College, a large pile of buildings, was opened in 1890. It was closed during the Revolution, but has since been reopened. The Nanking University was founded in 1888 by the Central China Mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and is now an imposing and well-appointed school, with a large roll of scholars. The Arsenal and Powder Mills, for many years in charge of foreigners, are now entrusted to native direction. They are situated just outside the South Gate. A macadamized road has been built from the steamer landing clear through the city to the Tung-Tsi Gate in the south wall, a distance of eight miles, and many similar roads in other parts of the city have been added during the last few years, so that it is now posssible to go "almost anywhere" in carriages. The carriages and jinrickshas which have been introduced are much appreciated by the people. British, American and German Consulates were opened in 1900, and since then a Japanese Consulate has also been established. The net value of the trade of the port has averaged for some years between ten and eleven million taels, but the figures for 1912 show a considerable increase over those of previous years. A grand industrial exhibition-the first of its kind in China-was held in 1910, the principal buildings being devoted to liberal arts, foreign exhibits, agriculture, fine arts, education, Chinese exhibits from foreign countries, a model hospital and an arsenal
Nanking as the scene of much fighting in the revolutionary campaign during October and November, 1911. The whole city was occupied by the revolutionaries in the early days of December, the Tartar City was sacked and burnt and Nanking became the seat of the Provisional Government with Dr. Sun Yat-sen as President. Here the Republican Constitution was drawn up and promulgated and the Revolutionary leaders sought and still hope to make Nanking the capital of the Republic.
In July, 1913, a military outbreak occurred which rapidly developed into an armed rebellion against the Central Government, and from the 15th August until the 1st September the city, until it capitulated to the Government troops, was under a severe bombardi ment. All of Hsia-kuan was burnt, and Nanking was looted. Advantage is being taken of the destruction of Hsia-kuan to widen the existing streets and build new ones, and the Chinese are showing, to the fullest extent, their wonderful powers of recupera- tion from catastrophes that would seem fatal elsewhere in the world. A very large garrison of Northern troops is now maintained in the city.

湖蕪 Wú-hú
This port (the name of which signifies grass and lakes," ie., swamps) was opened to foreign trade, by the Chefoo Convention, on the 1st April, 1877. It is situated on the Yangtsze, in the province of An-hwei, and is a "half-way port between Chinkiang and Kewkiang, though nearer to the former. It has the appearance of a thriving and busy town, and is admirably located for trade. This is mainly owing to the excellence of its water communication with the interior. A large canal, with a depth of five to six feet of water in the winter and ten to twelve feet in the summer, connects the port with the important city of Ning-kuoh-fu, in southern An-hwei, fifty miles distant. Another canal runs inland for over eight miles in a south-westerly direction to Taiping-hsien, an extensive tea district. This canal, which is only navigable in the summer, passes through Nan-ling and King-hsien, where the cultivation of silk is carried on, and may some day be of importance. The silk districts of Nan-ling and King-hsien are situated within fifty miles of Wuhu. Besides the canals leading to Ning-kuch-fu and Taiping-hsien, there are two others communicating with Su-an and Tung-po.
It will be seen from the above enumeration of the facilities for water carriage from Wuhu that it is calculated to prove an emporium for commerce. The value of the trade of the port for the year 1913 was Hk. Tls. 20,223,604, as compared with Tls. 29,506,289, a notable decrease in 1912. Coal may some day become a considerable article of export from Wuhu, both native and foreign capital having been directed to the great coal fields of the province. The China Merchants' Steam Navigation Company are interested in several coal districts and have expended large sums in the opening of their mining property; the output has thus far been small, owing to the lack of proper machinery and management. The Chin Kang Company, a wealthy native syndicate, have a Government permit to open mines in several districts and have been prospecting with a view to developing their property in the near future. A number of smaller companies are operating at present with the sanction of the above Corporation, to whom they pay a royalty. Two companies representing foreign capital-the Yangtsze Land and Investment Company, Limited, and the I Li Coal and Mining Company, Limited--have purchased a number of the most valuable mining properties in the immediate neighbourhood of Wuhu.
There is a large trade in timber in Wuhu, but that, like all other trades, is in the hands of the Chinese. There is a steam flour mill and a soap factory. The soap does not sell well. The preservation of egg yolk and albumen is an industry which was started in 1897, and has been carried on with several changes of proprietorship. A brick and tile manufactory is being erected.
The town is fairly well built, with rather broader streets than most Chinese cities possess, and is tolerably paved. The tract of land selected 30 years ago for the foreign settlement was definitely ceded in 1906, and sites were allotted to the Anhwei Railway Company and to various shipping companies, each lot having a river frontage of 600 to 1,100 feet. Bunding operations have progressed satisfactorily, and the place has taken on a decided air of prosperity. The roads in the Foreign Settlement have now been completed and are well laid out, forming a good promenade for those who care to avail themselves of walking exercise. Four large godowns have been built by Messrs. Butterfield & Swire on their ground in the New Settlement for storing rice, and Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., have also acquired property in the vicinity. Everything in and about the New Settlement seems to be in a state of abeyance, waiting for, it is said, the Customs to build and move down to the site adjoining it, and a plot of ground has been purchased by the Customs for this purpose. Work the railway also appears to be at a a standstill. On the plots of ground acquired by the Asiatic Petroleum and the Standard Oil Companies below I-Chi-Shan, a hill which forms the lower boundary of the Foreign Settlements, the former company has erected oil godowns and the latter has premises in course of erection. The Electric Light Co. appear to be doing well, for electric lighting has superseded that of oil to a great extent. A railway is projected to Kwangtehchow, but funds are said to be lacking, and the only work noticeable at the Wuhu end is that piers have been erected for a bridge across the creek. The population of Wuhu is estimated at 100,000.

KEWKIANG
Kiú-kiang
Kewkiang (now more generally written Kiukiang) is situated on the river Yangtsze near the outlet of the Poyang Lake, and is a prefectural city of the province of Kiang-si. It is distant about 142 geographical miles from Hankow and 454 miles from Shanghai. Kewkiang was, before the Rebellion, a busy and populous city; but it was occupied by the Taiping rebels in 1853, and before it was given up to the Imperial troops was almost entirely destroyed. When the Foreign Settlement was established there, how- ever, the population soon returned, and has continued to increase rapidly: it is now estimated at 60,000.
The city is built close to the river, the walls running along the banks of it for some 500 yards. Their circumference is about five miles, but a portion of the space enclosed is still unoccupied. The city contains no feature of interest. There are several large lakes to the north and west of it, and it is backed by a noble range of hills a few miles distant, among them being Kuling, some 3,600 feet high, which has become a well-known summer resort, especially of missionaries. The foreign settlement lies to the west of the city and is neatly laid out. It possesses a small bund lined with trees, a club, a small Protestant church, and a Roman Catholic Cathedral.
The idea which led to the opening of Kewkiang was, no doubt, its situation as regards communication by water with the districts where Tea is produced. But the hopes entertained respecting the port have never been wholly realised, Hankow having become the market for Black Teas. The general trade of the port, however, has in- creased considerably in recent years, a large development of inland steam navigation in the loyang Lake contributing to this result. Its connection by rail with the provincial capital, Nanchang (begun in 1906 and of which about 33 miles have been completed), may further improve matters. The total trade of the port for the year 1913 amounted to Hk. Tls. 32,351,405. Kewkiang is the port from whence the ware made at the far-famed porcelain factories at Kin-té-chen is shipped. The specimens sent to the Paris Exhibition in 1900 secured a silver medal, in competition with European porcelain. Beans and peas, hemp, indigo, paper, melon and sesamum seeds, and tobacco leaf are also important exports.

Hankow is situated on the river Han at the point where it enters the Yangtze, and is in lat. 30 deg. 32 min. 51 sec. N., and long. 114 deg. 19 min. 55 sec. E. It was formerly regarded as only a suburb of Hanyang, which it immediately adjoins, and which is a district city of the province of Hupeh, but Hankow has outstripped the older city in wealth and importance. These two towns lie immediately facing the city of Wuchang-fu, the capital of the province, which is built upon the south bank of the Yangtze. Hankow is distant from Shanghai about 600 miles.
Attention was first drawn to Hankow as a place of trade by Huc, the French missionary. Captain Blakiston, in his work "The Yangtsze," gives the following correct description of the place and its surroundings:-" Hankow is situated just where an irregular range of semi-detached low hills crosses a particularly level country on both sides of the main river in an east and west direction. Stationed on Pagoda Hill, Hanyang, a spectator looks down on almost as much water as land even when the rivers are low. At his feet sweeps the magnificent Yangtze, nearly a mile in width; from the west and skirting the northern edge of the range of hills already mentioned, comes the river Han, narrow and canal like, to add its quota, and serving as one of the highways of the country; and to the north-west and north is an extensive treeless flat, so little elevated above the river that the scattered hamlets which dot its surface are without exception raised on mounds, probably artificial works of a now distant age. A stream or two traverse its farther part and flow into the main river. Carrying his eye to the right bank of the Yangtze one sees enormous lakes and lagoons both to the north-west and south-east sides of the hills beyond the provincial city.'
The port was opened to foreign trade in 1861. The British Settlement is located at the east end of the city. It is well laid out, the roads being broad and all lined with well grown trees. The Bund affords a very fine and pleasant promenade, and has an imposing appearance from the river. There are a large Roman Catholic and small Protestant and Greek churches, the latter a rather handsome structure built by the Russian residents. Several brick tea factories owned by Russians are located in the Settlement. The river steamers go alongside hulks moored close to the shore; ocean steamers anchor in mid-stream. The current is very strong in the river. The native city of Hankow was burnt by the Imperialist army in Octo ber, 1911, and a population of about 800,000 were thereby rendered homeless. The city is to be reconstructed according to designs which will make it a model Chinese city. Cotton cloth mills established by the Viceroy Chang Chih-tung commenced run- ning in 1892, and the ironworks at Hanyang have developed into a large and import- ant enterprise employing about 3.500 men. Hangyang iron is now being placed on the American market at a price which enables it to hold its own against the Steel Trust product. In August, 1895, the Wuchang Mint was established. The Mint has had to be considerably enlarged in recent years to enable it to keep pace with the demand. The machinery was greatly damaged in the Revolution.
The local manufacturing industries include, besides the Government ironworks and arsenals, cotton and silk weaving. A carriage and wagon works to supply rolling stock to the Yuet-Han Railway, closely allied with the Hanyang Ironworks, which is turning out bridges and girders for railways, has been established on the Hankow side of the river. There is a quasi-official coal-mining company in connection with the ironworks, the pits being at Ping-hsiang in Kiangsi. The coal is brought down in lighters from the railhead, fifteen miles above Changsha. The Wuchang Cotton and Hemp mills, together with the silk filature, were leased by the Viceroy in 1902 to a company of Chinese capitalists for 100,000 taels a year, for a period of 20 years. Apart from the Hemp mill, which began operations in 1904, under Japanese management, the concern is doing a flourishing business. A tannery was start ed in 1906, and three flour mills. Other flour mills have since been erected, and the bean oil milling industry is also well established in the port.
During the last few years foreign interests at Hankow have undergone a marked development, the chief factor in producing the growth being the construction of the Lu Han Railway, a trunk line connecting Hankow with Peking, the contract for which was let to a Belgian syndicate in 1897. It was opened in November, 1905, when trains passed over the Yellow River Bridge, which was immediately closed again as unsafe. Since December, 1905, through traffic with Peking has continued without interruption. Early in 1906 trains de luxe" were started. The line has diverted much of the traffic that went by water to Chinkiang. Germany, France, Russia, and Japan have since 1895 acquired concessions, and the British concession has been extended. The French, German, Russian, Japanese and British have Municipal Councils. Thus while there was formerly a bund of only half a mile in length, in front of the British concession, there is now a continuous line of concessions measuring in all over two miles of river front ige. Houses and godowns have been springing up fast of late and for some years yet Hankow will have to divert large sums out of all proportion to the value of its trade for converting swamps into building sites and destroying old buildings to make room for others more suitable to the requirements of a great city. The English Church was re-built, and consecrated in May, 1904. Antimony, lead and zinc ores are crushed by machinery on the Wuchang side and exported. A large busi- ness is also done by a match factory, as well as by albumen factories. Several miles below the Foreign Concessions the Shell Transport Company, Limited, of London, have oil tanks for storing bulk oil, to be tinned on the premises. Two tanks have a capacity of 2.500 tons of oil each. During the low-water season small tank-steamers bring the oil from Shanghai, The Royal Dutch Petroleum Company, Langkat, also has an installation. The Standard Oil Co. had three large tanks erected at the end of 1904. Each installation added another tank in 1906. An English Company commenced an export trade in frozen pork, eggs, poultry and game in 1909, the refrigerating plant costing upwards of £30,000.
Tea is the staple export, representing about one-sixth of the total. The net value of the trade of the port in 1913 amounted to Tls. 154,029,939 as against Tls. 135,032,179
in 1912.
The Hankow Race Club and Recreation Ground were incorporated in 1904, and since then has undergone a phenomenal development. At present it has more than 300 members who enjoy facilities unrivalled in any other club in China. The property of
the Club, which at present is sufficiently extensive for a race course, an eighteen hole golf course, football and cricket field, and in fact room for every branch of sport indulged in by the members, is about to be enlarged, to permit the construction of a swimming pool and possibly a new grand-stand and stabling. Apart from this club, which is chiefly devoted to sport, there are the Hankow Club, the Russian Club and the French Club, which have splendid libraries, billiard rooms, bowling alleys, etc. The Hankow Golf Club, which was instituted in 1878 and is certainly the oldest club in the port, stills holds its own and boasts of a membership of considerably over 100. It is almost entirely devoted to golf and has well laid out links. There is also a Chinese- Race Club with a course as good as any in China. Meetings are conducted under New- market rules, and the management is entirely in the hands of Chinese.

Yochow, with a population of 15,000 to 20,000, is situated in latitude 29° 23′ N., and longitude 113° 8′ E. (Greenwich), at the outlet of the Tungting Lake. Past it ebbs and flows practically the whole of the trade of Hunan, which, however, adds nothing to the prosperity of the place, as it simply passes by after having paid its inward and outward taxes. The city is the gateway of the province and nothing more. Efforts are being made by British, German and Japanese firms to maintain regular communication with Changteh, the trade centre, whose opening to foreign trade was talked of in 1906. The opening of Changsha took away much of Yochow's transit trade, but as the Hankow- Canton Railway will pass through Yochow it may hope to experience better times. The total net value of the trade of the port for 1913 was Tls. 6,919,066 as compared witht Tls. 6,285,267 for 1912.
The province of Hunan used to be to foreign commerce what Tibet has been to the explorer-a Forbidden Land-and it is only a few years ago that foreigners were stoned out of Yochow. In 1904, the people were described as showing a "friendly attitude' to all foreigners. The anti-foot-binding crusade has done well in Hunan, which was once the most anti-foreign province in all China. They are intensely patriotic, but their patriotism is rather for Hunan than for the Empire at large.
The province is rich in many forms of wealth, though the inhabitants say it consists of "three parts mountain, six water, and one arable soil." One of the main staples is rice, of which nearly a million piculs are sent out of the province to Hupeh and Kueichow in an average year.
The Hunan tea sent to Hankow amounts to about six hundred thousand half-chests a year. The timber passing down past Changteh is valued officially at six million taels a year, and is probably worth more. There is also a large production of cotton. The mountain districts contain large fields of coal, both anthracite and bituminous; iron also is known to exist. Sulphur, antimony, nickel, and other minerals are even now exported, and great possibilities of development are undoubtedly to be found.
Steam launches and steamers run through from Hankow to Changsha with cargo and passengers, under River passes; and from Yochow to Inland places under Inland Steam Navigation Rules.
The city of Yochow is perched on a bluff in a very picturesque way. Its site is, however, not adapted for a transit trade, and it offers no shelter for small craft. The port has, therefore, been opened at Chenglin, five miles to the north and only a mile from the Yangtsze, where a small creek provides the needed shelter for cargo-boats, though the steamer anchorage is bad, being fully exposed to the frequent northerly gales while the bottom affords bad holding ground. Here the Chinese Government has set aside a place for a cosmopolitan settlement, for which they themselves will provide roads, police, etc.; the site contains level ground for business purposes, well raised, but not too high, above flood limits, while higher ground gives good and healthy sites for foreign houses. Work on the formation of the settlement and bunding operations were commenced in 1900, and a new Custom-house and quarters have been built, Yochow
YOCHOW-SHASI
is described by the Customs Commissioner as “doubtless the healthiest town in the Yangtse Valley, considering the insanitary conditions." In 1900, really the first open year of the port, the net value of the trade was Tls. 143,827. In 1903 it amounted to Tls. 3,473,241, but in 1905 the value was Tls. 490,058 only, and in 1910 the returns show a net value of Tls. 1,941,869 as compared with Tls. 3,015,913 in 1909. The noticeable decline since 1904 was the result of the opening of Changsha as a Treaty Port.
The noteworthy feature of 1907 was the connection of Changteh by steamer during the high-water season-June to October the resulting trade being valued at Tls. 617,000. Connection with Changteh is now maintained practically throughout the year by special tugs and lighters, and the value of the trade amounted to over Tls. 1,370,000 in the year 1913 of which amount over Tls. 1,225,000 represented the value of native exports. Buoys and lights were established in 1907 to mark the channel across the lake. The difficulties and risks of this route are considerable, and it is probable that it will be found advisable to adopt the somewhat longer route via Lulintan, though, on account of the sharp bends of the River Yuan in its lower reaches, specially adapted steamers will probably have to be used. The principal products exported from Changteh are native cloth wood oil, vegetable tallow and lotus nuts.

Shasi (the “market on the sands") is one of the ports opened to foreign trade under the Japanese Treaty of 1895, the official declaration of the opening being dated the 1st October, 1896. The port is about 85 miles below Ichang and is situated at the crossing point of two most important routes of commerce in Central China namely, from east to west and from north to south and vice versa. from the river and the sea by a magnificent system of dykes and canals, and is "a monument of ancient commerce, and witness to native perseverance and engineering skill." The district suffers periodically from the flooding of the Yangtze In July, 1908, the river rose to 30 ft. 9 inches, and caused the destruction of all the earlier summer crops. The population is estimated at about 80,000, and the floating
population, of which no account is kept, may be estimated at 10,000 more. siderable amount of washing for gold is done between Shasi and Hosueh, chiefly on the Tukkechow. Formerly Shasi was an important distributing centre, but the opening of Ichang to foreign trade diverted much of the traffic to the last-named port. It was hoped that when Shasi itself was opened it would regain its importance as a point of distribution, but the experience now gained shows that the development is likely to be slow. On the 9th and 10th May, 1898, a serious anti-foreign riot occurred at Shasi.
The Customs Office and the residence of the Commissioner, the Customs boats, the premises of the China Merchants' Company and their hulk, the office of the Foreign Board, the Japanese Consulate, the premises occupied by the native agents of Messrs. Butterfield & Swire and Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., and a number of newly-erected Chinese houses were burnt by the mobs, kerosene oil being used to feed the conflagration, and the foreign residents were driven out of the port, narrowly escaping with their lives. The Custom-house was re-opened on the 1st July of the same year. In August, 1898, an area of 3,800 Chinese feet in length, by 800 to 1,200 in breadth, lying along the river side below the town, was assigned to Japan as a Japanese concession. The foreign commerce is mostly in Japanese hands.
The British Consulate was withdrawn in January, 1899, British interests being placed under the care of the Consul at Ichang. Calling steamers anchor in the river, very swift during the Summer, as well as discharging and loading at pontoons, but some bunding work, commenced in December, 1904, and finished in April, 1905, provided berths for three hulks, with jetties. Unfortunately in 1908, this bund for over two-thirds of its length went bodily into the river owing to the action of the water coming from inland carrying away sand from beneath the stone work. The net value of the trade of the port coming under the cognizance of the Foreign Customs was in 1913 returned at Tls. 4,392,385. The bulk of the carrying trade is, however, carried on by junks, which do not come under the control of the Foreign Customs. In December, 1913, a contract was entered into between the Chinese Government and the British firm of Pauling & Co. for the construction of a railway from a point opposite Shasi to Singyifu in the province of Kweichow via Changteh and Kweiyang, with a branch from Changteh to Changsha.

CHANGSHA
Chang-sha
Changsha ("Long Sands"), the capital city of Hunan, situated on the right bank of the Hsiang River about 100 miles South of Yochow, became a Treaty port under the China-Japan Commercial Treaty of 1903, a Customs House being established on 1st July 1904. The surrounding country is hilly and very picturesque, affording delightful walks and picnics. Opposite to the city rises Yolushan hill to the height of about 800 feet. On it is a large stone tablet (Yu Pei) recounting the mastery of the floods that once covered an enormous tract of Central China. It was placed there by order of the Great Yü, founder of the Hsia Dynasty, B.C.. 2205. (See Williams' Middle Kingdom, Vol. II, pp. 149-151). The magnificent timber on the South of the hill, extending from the Yolushan High School, enclosing the Confucian and the Buddhist temples, and extend- ing to the Taoist temple at the top-whence a beautiful view to the South can be obtained-is well worth a visit from travellers. The school dates back many hundred years and was once one of the most famous in this land of scholars, and under its present excellent management it promises once more to do excellent work for the province. Among the cities of China, Changsha ranks only second to Chengtu; the fine buildings, well laid-out gardens, the wide and clean streets, the good shops, render a walk pleasant experience. The stone bunding work, extending from the West Gate to the New River," beyond the North extremity of the city, a distance of about 3 miles, is making good progress; it is expected that a 50-foot-wide carriage road now in course of construction will soon be completed. An up to date electric light plant has been ia- stalled and is working under the management of a foreign engineer, the Chinese, especially shops, availing themselves more and more of this way of lighting. The value of the trade for 1913 was Tls. 23,719,762 as against Tls. 22,033,368 in 1912, Tls. 17,690,355 for 1911 and Tls. 13,030,030 for 1910. These figures show a steady though gratifying increase which augurs well for the future prosperity of the port. Owing to its comparatively close vicinity to Wuchang, the cradle of the revolution, the city of Changsha quickly passed over into the hands of the New Party. This change was effected without practically any bloodshed, only the heads of the more important officials, refusing to join the republicans, being sacrificed on the altar of Anti-Manchuism. The Governor, however, managed to escape in the nick of time. After having overcome the few first difficulties in the form of serious disunion between the leaders and representa- tives of the various parties, the new Government seems to be fairly firmly established in Changsha and the whole province. A most gratifying feature throughout this critical period has been the extremely friendly, not to say courteous, attitude shown to foreigners. Still, not knowing what the course of events may be and not to run any unnecessary risks, all foreigners in Pinghsiang, many missionaries in out-stations and most foreign women and children, as well as many men in Changsha, left for Shanghai.
CHANGSHA
The low level of the river during the winter months preventing the regular steamers from plying for nearly three months is an obstacle to trade. From the records it would appear that there is now more water over the shallows than was formerly the case, probably owing to the largely increased launch traffic preventing the accumulation of silt, therefore it is not improbable that a regular towing system will be introduced before long to take the place of steamers during the winter. A short section of the Canton-Hankow railway, from Changsha to Chuchow-about 30 miles was opened to traffic on 10th September, 1911. The export of coal and coke is becoming an important feature in the trade of the district. The coke, which is said to be of excellent quality, is used almost exclusively by the Hanyang Iron works the coal is finding an extending market for bunker use. The colliery is under excellent management, and the supply is said to be almost limitless.
With its fertile plains, mountains seamed with mineral wealth, and its sturdy population, there would seem to be a brilliant future before this province. Until, however, modern machinery is applied, railway communication extended, and capital introduced, no great expansion can be anticipated. The climate of Changsha is excellent. There is no great heat here, the summer is short, and there is no malaria, the poisonous inosquito not existing here. When the railway is open the scenery traversed will make this journey the most popular in China.

昌宜 I-Chang
Ichang is one of the four ports opened to foreign trade on the 1st April, 1877, in accordance with Clause 1, Section 3, of the Chefoo Convention. It is situated in lat. 30° 44′ 25′′ N., long. 111° 18′ 34′′ E., on the north bank of the river Yangtze, about 393 miles above Hankow, and some ten miles below the entrance to the great Ichang Gorge, or just about a thousand miles from the coast. The navigation of the river to this port is comparatively easy for vessels of light draught, but great care is necessary for all vessels when in the neighbourhood of Sunday Island, owing to the shiftings and banks. The anchorage is off the left bank, opposite the foreign residences, and is good, except in freshets, when the anchors should be sighted every two or three days. The port is the centre of a hilly country, the productions of which are rice in the valleys, cotton on the higher grounds, winter wheat, barley, and also the tungtzu trees, from which the ordi- nary wood oil is obtained by pressing the nuts gathered from the trees. In the sheltered valleys, amongst the mountain ranges west of the city, oranges, lemons, pomeloes, pears, plums, and a very superior quality of persimmons are grown, and find a ready market in the city and at Shasi. The importance of Ichang is chiefly that of an emporium for goods in transit to and from Chungking. All cargo for the latter port is landed here and transferred to steamers or chartered junks. In the same way cargo brought down in steamers or chartered junks from Chungking and intended for the lower river and coast ports, is transhipped here on steamers, which make regular voyages to and from Hankow. During the year 1914, the number of steamers plying between Ichang and Chungking was increased from one to five, viz., the Shu-tung and Shu-hun of the Szechuan Steam Navigation Co., the Tah-chuen and Lee-chuen of the Szechuan Railway Steam Navigation Co., and the Ching-yue of the Cha-I-Jui- Ching S. S. Co. In view of the enhanced traffic, aids to navigation and rules of the road through the gorges have become urgent. The upward voyage to Chungking now takes about 5 day, and the returm trip about 23 days. The survey of the railway to Chengtu has been completed, but construction has been delayed consequence of the great European war. The foreign passenger fare is from $100 to $75 to Chungking. This does not include meals, for which a charge of $3 per diem extra is made. The steamers do not run when the River is down to 6 feet on the Ichang Water Gauge, owing to the difficulty in negotiating the rapids between Ichang and Chungking, but a scheme for portage is under consideration.
The climate of Ichang is drier than that of the lower river ports-summers very warm, winters dry and pleasant. The native population is estimated at some 40,000. The net value of the trade of the port in 1913 was Tls. 5,719,556 as against Tls. 5,552,895 in 1912, Tls. 4,805,787 in 1911, Tls. 13,385,356 in 1910, Tls. 14,847,495 in 1909 Tls. 7,613,218 in 1908 and Tls. 6,557,173 in 1907.
