CHINESE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, MONEY.
WEIGHTS
Chinese weights are mostly decimal. Although English weights and measures ar used to a considerable extent in trade with foreigners, being legalised in Hongkong for that purpose, the following are also recognised by Ordinance 8 of 1885:-
10 fan 10 tsin
1 fan, or candareen 1 tsin;
or mace
-
leung, or tael
16 leung
= 1 kan,
or catty
or picul
100 kan = 1 tàm,
0133 oz. avoir.
•1333 oz. avoir.
13 oz. avoir.* 1 lb. avoir. = 133 lb. avoir.
The words candareen, mace, tael, catty, picul, are not Chinese.
Almost all commodities, even liquids, are sold by the above weights amongst Chinese.
MEASURES
English measures are legal, but so are also the Chinese:---
10 fan
-
1 tsün,
10 tsün = 1 chek,
or inch or foot
= about 1.46 English inch.
about 143 English inch.
The Treaty of Tientsin fixes the ch'eung at 141 English inches.
10 li =
1 li, or mile
mile English. 1 pò, or league = 3 miles English (about). Land is measured by the mau or acre, equal to about
MONEY
of an English acre.
This is almost entirely represented by weights of silver, accounts being kept in leung, tsin, fan, and li (taels, mace, candareens, and cash †) as given above. Not one of these weights is represented by any coin, unless we may take the cash to represent the value of a li of silver. The value of the tael may be taken as $1.36.
Silver is used uncoined, in ingots or shoes, sometimes called sycee. Small sums are paid in what is called broken silver. At the Treaty Ports this generally consists of the fragments of Mexican or Spanish dollars, hammered to pieces by the Shroffs in their process of chopping. This broken silver is weighed by means of small steel-yards called li-tang. The silver coins issued by the Canton Mint were legalised as current throughout China by Imperial Decree in 1890.
Cash might be said before 1890 to be the coin of China. The Chinese call them tsin. They are bronze coins, not unlike thin farthings with a square hole in the centre for stringing together. The Hongkong Government cash or mils are smaller, and the hole is round. The value of cash fluctuates greatly, and is very much a matter of bargain. About 1,200 to a Mexican dollar is an average quotation.
HONGKONG MONEY
A legal tender in Hongkong consists of British or Mexican dollars; 50, 20, 10, or 5 cent silver pieces to an amount not exceeding two dollars; or bronze cents or mils to an amount not exceeding one dollar. Japanese yen, American, Spanish, and South American dollars are also in circulation, and the 10, 20, and 50 cent pieces of the Straits Settlements, the Canton Mint, and of Japan are also in General use, but the Chinese and Japanese coins are not accepted by the Government departments.
The value of the dollar during 1896 ranged from 2s. 1d. to 2s. 2§d. sterling. Mexican dollars weighed at 7.1.7. mean coins which contain 7 mace, 1 candareen, and 7 li of silver (see weights given above). Clean coins of this weight command a premium, lighter ones are taken at a discount.

11.-Circulars, Dividend Warrants, Invitations, Cards, Patterns, Bills, Almanacs, &c., for addressees in Hongkong, or the Ports of China, but not for Macao, in batches of not less than ten of uniform size and weight, may be sent to the Post Office unstamped, the postage, at the rate of one cent each, being paid in cash or charged to the sender's account. Special accounts may be opened with non-boxholders for the delivery of considerable numbers of such articles.
12. Such covers, when addressed to places other than Hongkong or China, must be prepaid two cents each in stamps.
13.--Circulars, &c., must not exceed 2 ounces each in weight. Patterns, Almanacs, &c., must be under 4 ounces each in weight. Heavier articles are charged ordinary rates.
14. Envelopes containing patterns, &c., may be wholly closed if the nature of the contents be first exhibited or stated to the Postmaster-General, as he may consider necessary, and approved by him. Printed Circulars may be inserted in such Pattern Packets.
15.-Addresses must be complete. That is to say, on such covers as are not addressed to heads of houses, the addressee's residence or place of business must be added. In- completely addressed covers are returned to the sender for address.
MAIL ROUTES AND OPPORTUNITIES.
16. All ordinary correspondence is sent on by the best opportunity of which the prepayment admits, unless especially directed or apparently prepaid for some other
route.
17.-Correspondence specially directed for any particular steamer is sent by her (failing any request to the contrary), however many times her departure may be postponed. If it is postponed sine die, the correspondence is sent on by the next opportunity.
18.--Correspondence from the Coast marked via Brindisi or via Marseilles is KEPT FOR THE ROUTE INDICATED even though that may involve a fortnight's detention. Unless this is intended, therefore, the safest direction is By first mail.
19.--- Letters from the Coast forwarded without prepayment are not delivered until the Hongkong Office has time to deal with them; paid covers are delivered at once. Unpaid papers are returned to the senders.
20.-It is not necessary to pay postage on covers from the Coast containing stamped correspondence for the homeward mails or local delivery.
21. It is sometimes possible to overtake the French packet at Singapore by means of a direct private steamer. When this can be done Coast correspondence which arrived too late is so sent on.
22.-Mails may also be forwarded to London and ports of call by the tea steamers leaving China, either direct, or to catch the next contract mail at Singapore or Suez. Except by special request, only letters are sent in these mails.
Australia.
23.-There are two routes to Australia, viz., vid Torres Straits and via Colombo. The Torres Straits route is the best for Eastern Australia as far as Sydney; for New Zealand, Tasmania and Fiji. All correspondence for these places is thus sent unless otherwise directed. Correspondence for Adelaide and Perth may be sent by this route.
24.--The route via Colombo is best for Western and Southern Australia. Each home- ward French Packet connects at Colombo with the P. & O. steamer which leaves that port for King George's Sound, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney.
Canada, the San Francisco Route, &c.
25.-The routes by Vancouver or San Francisco can be freely used for ordinary or registered correspondence for Union or Non-union countries. The making up of mails via San Francisco at Shanghai is left to the United States and Japanese Post Offices.
26.---When it is desired to forward letters to the United States by a sailing ship not notified as carrying a mail, all that is necessary is to post the letters in the ordinary way, marked with the name of the ship, and prepaid 10 cents per half ounce as usual. The Post Office then undertakes the duty of obtaining notice of departure and despatch- ing the correspondence,
MAIL TIME TABLES.
27.-Tables showing the dates of the departure of the contract mails and the dates when replies to letters are due in Hongkong are published separately.
Mail Notices.
28. The dates and hours of closing all mails in the General Post Office are also published twice daily, except on Sundays and Holidays, in a Special Mail Notice.

HONGKONG POSTAL GUIDE
FORBIDDEN ARTICLES.
29.-The following articles cannot be sent through the post :-
(a) Samples of merchandise having a saleable value.
(b) Samples and other articles which, from their nature, may expose the postal
officials to danger, or soil or damage the correspondence.
(c) Explosive, inflammable, or dangerous substances.
(d) Animals or insects living or dead. *
(e) Any indecent or obscene print, painting, photograph, lithograph, engrav- ing, book, or card, or any other indecent or obscene article, or any letter, newspaper, or publication, packet or card, having thereon any words, marks or designs, of an indecent, obscene, libellous or grossly offensive character. 30.-It is forbidden to insert in ordinary or registered correspondence consigned to the post:-
(a) Current coin.
(b) Articles liable to Customs duty.
(c) Gold or silver bullion, precious stones, jewellery, and other precious articles, but only in case their insertion or transmission is forbidden by the legislation of the countries concerned.
REQUESTS FOR REDIRECTION.
31.-Requests for the redirection of correspondence, or to have it stopped in Hong- kong, must be in writing. The precise address of the correspondence must be given.
32.-Requests should also state whether private letters or those for the writer's firm
are required, and to how many mails the request applies.
33. When the correspondence is required in Hongkong an address must be given to which it may be sent. Under no circumstances will it be delivered at the Post Office windows. If the applicant persists in applying for it instead of waiting till it is sent to him, his request will be cancelled.
34.-No notice can be taken of requests sent in after any mail is signalled with reference to that particular mail.
35.-Requests of a complicated nature cannot be entertained.
36.-Correspondence directed to care of boxholders in Hongkong must, without exception, be delivered as addressed.
37.-Every request is understood to refer to letters only; papers will not be intercepted unless special reasons be shewn to the satisfaction of the Postmaster- General.
38.-There is no charge for redirection of sufficiently prepaid correspondence 39.-The marine officers are not allowed to deliver correspondence at Singapore. 40.-Letters for a firm will not be intercepted without the written authority of that firm.
41.-Correspondence from the Continent for Northern Ports by French packet cannot be intercepted, nor can that for Yokohama by any mail.
42.-No request is acted on for more than three months, at the end of which time the correspondence resumes its usual course. The period of three months allowed will give time to have correspondence directed as it is to be delivered. Should it be desired that the correspondence should resume its ordinary course earlier, it will be necessary to inform the Postmaster-General.
43. The interception of letters is promised only when possible. Sometimes it is not possible, and the omission in any case to intercept them must not be regarded as matter for complaint.
COMPLAINTS.
44.-All complaints, or representations of matters which cannot be adjusted locally, should be addressed to the Postmaster-General, Hongkong, and, if marked On Postal Business, will be forwarded free by any Postmaster or Agent.
45. The cover of any correspondence about which complaint is made should if possible be forwarded with such complaint. Neglect of this generally renders enquiry impossible.
46.-When correspondence has been mis-sent or delayed (both of which are liable to happen occasionally) all that the complainant need do is to write on the cover, Sent to or Delivered at........., or Not received till the ...th instant, or as the case may be, and forward it, without any note or letter whatever, to the Postmaster-General. Attention to this would save much writing and needless trouble.
Live bees may be sent if enclosed in boxes so constructed as to avoid all danger and allow the contents to be ascertained.
HONGKONG POSTAL GUIDE
PRIVATE BOXES.
XXV
47.-Private boxes may be rented in the offices at Hongkong and Shanghai. The fee is $10 a year payable in advance.
48. Each boxholder is supplied with an account book free, but must himself provide at least two stout bags (Shanghai firms require four) marked with his name in English and Chinese on both sides. Chinese Nankin makes the best bags for this purpose. They should be without strings, but have a couple of iron rings at the mouth for suspending. Boxholders should insist on their coolies returning these bags to the Post Office as soon as emptied, or at any rate not later than next morning. The only safe way to empty a bag is to turn it inside out.
49.-Each boxholder's coolie must be provided with a stout ticket or badge of wood, metal, or pasteboard, bearing his employer's name in English and Chinese. This will enable him to obtain letters whenever a mail arrives.
50. The advantages of renting a box are many. It secures a quicker and more accurate delivery of correspondence. Unpaid letters are delivered to boxholders with- out the delay of demanding payment, change, &c., as they are charged to his account. The boxholders of Hongkong and Shanghai send bags down in the mail steamer to be filled by the marine officer. Boxholders are allowed to post their letters in sealed boxes*, and to mark their Postage Stamps. They receive free copies of all notices issued by the Post Office, Tables of Rates, &c. Many inconveniences are saved to them by the facility for charging their accounts with small deficiencies of postage, when there is no time to return a short-paid letter. This, however, is only done as an exception, when the letter cannot go on unpaid, no boxholder being allowed to make a practice of sending short- paid correspondence or letters to be stamped. Boxholders are also allowed certain privileges as to posting local correspondence unstamped (see paragraph 11).
51.-Boxholders' books are sent out for settlement on the first day of each month, and should be returned promptly. As a general rule no information can be given as to the correspondence charged in these accounts, where it came from, &c. There is only one way to obtain such information, and that is to file the covers of all unpaid corre- spondence received. Entries On Board are for unpaid correspondence dealt with by the marine officer on his way up from Singapore.
POSTE RESTANTE.
52.--All articles superscribed "To be kept till called for," "To await arrival," or in any similar way, and also articles addressed "Post Office," are held to fall under the head "Poste Restante.'
"J
53. Poste Restante letters, &c., can be obtained at any time during the office hours. The persons applying for them must furnish satisfactory evidence that they are parties to whom the correspondence should be delivered.
54.-Poste Restante correspondence is kept for the following periods, after which it is regarded as "Dead," and is returned to the office of origin :--
Local letters are kept for 1 month..... Letters for steamers are kept for 3 months

56.-When correspondence is received addressed to parties in "Hongkong," but without a full address, it is placed in the Poste Restante if no request has been received from the addressee regarding it, or his name does not appear in the Directory.
LETTERS.-Dimensions.
57.-There is no limit to the weight of letters, but, unless to or from a Government Office, they must not exceed 2 feet in length and 1 foot in width and depth.
Address to be complete.
58.-Addresses should be as complete as possible in order to facilitate delivery, and in order that, in the event of the letter becoming from any cause undeliverable, it may be returned to the writer unopened, it is recommended that the sender's name and address be also superscribed on the cover.
Unpaid Letters; Loose Letters.
59.-The general rule as to insufficiently paid letters is to double the deficient postage. If the despatching office has not indicated how much the deficiency is, it is taken to be 10 cents per half ounce, and the letter is consequently charged 20 cents per half ounce. Nothing can be sent wholly unpaid except letters. The prepayment of postage on local letters is compulsory.
*The boxes should be closed with some recognizable seal. Locked boxes cannot be allowed. A receipt book should be sent with each box, but as the receiving officer cannot undertake to count the correspondence sent, he only gives a receipt for One Bor. No attention is promised to anything written in the book-To be Registered. for instance.

HONGKONG POSTAL GUIDE
of the nature of a letter or not, may be written or printed, or partly written and partly printed on the other side. But no card will be forwarded on which anything libellous, insulting, or indecent has been written, printed, or drawn.
95.-Nothing must be attached to a Post Card, nor may it be folded, cut, or otherwise altered. If so, it will be charged as a letter. Thin paper, smaller than the card, may, however, be pasted smoothly on it.
96. In regard to hours for posting, late fees, &c., Post Cards are submitted to the same rules as letters.
97.-A card of insufficient value may be fully prepaid by the addition of an adhesive stamp of proper amount.
REGISTRATION.
98.-Every description of paid correspondence may be registered, except such as is addressed in pencil, or is addressed to initials or fictitious names, or is not properly fastened and secured. The fee is 10 cents to the United Kingdom and elsewhere, local 5 cents. The sender of any registered article may obtain an acknowledgment of its delivery to the addressee on paying an extra fee of 5 cents.
99.-Letters to be registered should be handed to the receiving officer at the proper win- dow, and a receipt obtained. The hour of registry will bo marked on the receipt if specially requested. Whoever presents an article for registry MUST ASK (orally) FOR A RECEIPT. Nothing written on the letter or elsewhere can replace this indispensable precaution.
100.-The Post Office is not legally responsible for the safe delivery of registered correspondence, but will be prepared to make good the value of such correspondence if lost while passing through the Post, to the extent of $10, in certain cases, provided :-
(a) That the sender duly observed all the conditions of registration.
(1) That the correspondence was securely enclosed in a reasonably strong envelope. (c) That application was made to the Postmaster-General of Hongkong immediately the loss was discovered, and within a year at the most from the date of posting such correspondence. (d) That the Postmaster-General is satisfied the loss occurred whilst the correspondence was in the custody of the British Postal administration in China; that it was not caused by any fault on the part of the sender; by destruction by fire, or shipwreck; nor by the dishonesty or negligence of any person not in the employment of the Hongkong Post Office.
101.-No compensation can be paid for mere damage to fragile articles such as portraits, watches, handsomely bound books, &c., which reach their destination, although in a broken or deteriorated condition, nor on account of alleged losses of the contents of registered covers which safely reached their destinations, nor on account of any article for which the addressee has signed a receipt.
102.--The Post Office declines all responsibility for unregistered letters containing bank notes, or jewellery, and where registration has been neglected will make no enquiries into alleged losses of such letters.
103.-A postcard enclosed in a packet of correspondence, for return to the sender by way of receipt, will not under any circumstances be admitted as evidence that any particular article reached the Post Office.
104. Registration in China extends to Hoihow, Canton, Swatow, Amoy, Foochow Ningpo, Shanghai, and Hankow only.
MISCELLANEOUS.
105.-Contrary to general usage the Hongkong Post Office will give a receipt of the kind given for a boxholder's box for an ordinary letter, to assure the sender his corre- spondence has not been stolen on the way to the Post. But this receipt is not intended to be used against the Post Office in case the correspondence goes astray. Some few Offices grant acknowledgments of posting on payment of a halfpenny or so for each letter acknowledged, and even then they decline to admit that any such acknowledgment refers to any particular letter. Others have abandoned the practice of giving receipts even on payment. It is obvious therefore that this Office cannot allow its free receipts to be used to found complaints on. If that is intended the correspondence should be registered.
106.-It is no part of the duties of the Post Office to affix stamps to correspondence, or to see that servants purchase or affix the proper amounts, nor can the officers of the Department, under any circumstances, undertake to do this.
107.-Any article of correspondence duly prepaid and posted becomes the property of the addressee, and cannot be returned to the sender, nor can it be detained, without the written authority of the Governor of Hongkong or of Her Majesty's Consul at the Port, on an application stating fully the reasons for the request.

This edition of the Postal Guide has been re-arranged in a form which it is hoped will be found more convenient for reference than that previously existing. It is requested that any difficulty experienced in using it may be notified, with a view to the improvement of future issues.
This reprint supersedes all previous issues of the Postal Guide, and is the only authorised complete summary of Postal regulations. Whilst always willing to supply information in other ways, the Department declines responsibility for errors in replies to oral applications (especially if addressed to Chinese) or notes to subordinate officers. The Chinese Shroffs at the windows are placed there to sell stamps, not to decide what is correct postage, nor to answer enquiries, for which they are not competent

EASTERN SIBERIA
WLADIVOSTOCK
This port, on some charts still called Port May, lies in latitude 43 deg. 7 min. N. and longitude 131 deg. 54 min. E., at the southern end of a long peninsula reaching into Peter the Great Bay. Of the ports in East Siberia, it is by far the most important, both as a military and commercial centre. It is a free port except that duties have to be paid on the following articles:-Alcoholic liquors, tobacco, matches, kerosine oil, varnishes, sugar, soap, and sweetmeats. Wladivostock is one of the most magnificent harbours in the East. From its peculiar long and narrow shape and the once sup- posed hidden treasures in the slightly auriferous soil of its surrounding hills, it has ot inappropriately been called the Golden Horn. The entrances to the harbour are hidden by Dundas Island, which divides the fairway into two narrow passages. This tine sheet of water first runs for about half a mile in a northern direction and then suddenly bends to the east for a distance of about one mile. On all sides it is surrounded by hills, low on the southern and higher on the northern shore, and which slope sharply down to the water's edge. These hills, once verdant with foliage, have been completely denuded of trees by reckless felling. The harbour, capable of accommodating an almost unlimited number of vessels of deep draught and large capacity, affords a safe anchorage. It is usually closed by ice from about Christmas till the beginning of April, but even then ships may safely approach the entrance by making either for Diomed Bay or some of the numerous sheltered anchorages along the castern shore of Dundas Island. The transit of cargo is then effected to Wladivostock over the ice. There is a floating dock capable of taking in vessels up to 3,000 tons, and a fine graving dock is in course of construction. The dimensions of this new dock will be:-Length over all, 625 feet; length at bottom, 555 feet; breadth 120 feet; breadth at entrance, 90 feet; depth,
30 feet.
The
The port, the chief naval station of Russia on the Pacific, is commanded by an Admiral appointed from home, and there is also a military Governor, residing at Wladivostock, who is in command of the forces spread over the South Ussuri district. The municipal affairs of the town are managed by a Mayor and Town Council elected by and from among the Russian civil community. town is built on the southern slope of the hills running along the northern shore of the harbour. The entire area, with the exception of some unoccupied lots intervening here and there, is covered by buildings; and the town is well laid out with good roads. Most conspicuous among the buildings are the government offices, the barracks, the railway station, the museum, the Russian church, the Governor's residence and that of the Admiral Commanding, which is surrounded by a Public Garden, while the houses of the more affluent merchants are well and substantially built. In the Public Garden the naval band plays twice a week during the summer. There is a Naval Club, to which civilians are admitted as non-voting members, two or three hotels, a gymnasium or school for boys, an institute for girls, and military and naval hospitals. The town has a population of upwards of 20,000, most of whom are of European extraction. A large garrison is maintained, and the total number of troops in Wladivostock and the neighbourhood is believed to amount to not much less than 100,000, but exact figures are not obtainable. In June, 1891, the Czarewitch cut the first sod of the Wladivostock section of the Siberian Railway, which section will shortly be completed.
NICOLAJEWSK
The port and settlement of Nicolajewsk, founded in 1851 by Admiral Nevelskoi, is situated on the river Amur, about 29 miles from its mouth. The Amur is here about nine miles in width, with a depth in mid stream of eight to nine fathoms and a current of three to four knots. It is navigable for vessels of light draught for more than 2,000 miles, and vessels of 12 feet draught can get up 600 miles. The town is built on a pla-

WLADIVOSTOCK
teau 50 feet above the sea level and gradually slopes down to the river to the eastward. The most conspicuous edifice is the Cathedral, round which the town is built. This struc- ture is imposing in appearance, with a large west tower, having belfry and dome, but it is built of wood and is already showing signs of deterioration. At the back of the Cathedral is a large grass grown square, two sides of which are occupied by Barracks, Governor's House, and Police Station. There are few substantial houses in the town, except those used as public buildings or stores, and there is little trade except in fish, quantities of salmon being dried and cured here. Since the naval and military head-quarters were transferred to Wladivostock the place has declined in importance. Nicolajewsk is fortified and a considerable garrison is maintained there.

CONSTITUTION AND GOVERNMENT.
The government of the Japanese Empire was until lately that of an absolute monarchy. In the year 1868 the now ruling sovereign overthrew, after a short war, the power of the Shogun, together with that of the Daimios, or feudal nobles, who, on the 25th June, 1869, resigned their lands, revenues, and retainers to the Mikado, by whom they were permitted to retain one-tenth of their original incomes, but ordered to reside in the capital in future. The sovereign bears the name of Emperor; but the appellation by which he is generally known in foreign countries is the ancient title of Mikado.
Mutsu-hito, the reigning monarch, was born at Kyoto, on November 3rd, 1852; succeeded his father, Komei Tenno, 1867; married December 28th, 1868, to Princess Haru-ko, born April 17th, 1850, daughter of Prince Itchijo. The reigning Emperor is the 121st of an unbroken dynasty, which was founded 660 B.C. By the ancient and regular law of succession the crown devolves upon the eldest son, and, failing male issue, upon the eldest daughter of the sovereign. This law has often been disregarded in consequence of the partiality of the monarch or the ambition of powerful ministers, which was one of the principal causes that culminated in the dual system of Government in Japan. The Throne has frequently been occupied by a female. A new law of succes- sion was promulgated in February, 1889, which excludes females from the Imperial
Throne.
+
The power of the Mikado was formerly absolute, but its exercise was controlled to some extent by custom and public opinion. His Majesty, in 1875, when the Senate and Supreme Judicial Tribunal were founded, solemnly declared his earnest desire to have a constitutional system of government. The Mikado has long been regarded as the spiritual as well as the temporal head of the Empire, but although the Shinto faith is held to be a form of national religion, the Emperor does not interfere in religious mat- ters, and all religions are tolerated in Japan. The Ecclesiastical Department was in 1877 reduced to a simple bureau under the control of the Minister of the Interior. The Mikado acts through an Executive Ministry divided into nine departments, namely :- Gwaimu Sho (Foreign Affairs), Naimu Sho (Interior), Okura Sho (Finance), Kaigun Sho (Navy), Rikugun Sho (Army), Shiho Sho (Justice), Mombu Sho (Education), Noshomu Sho (Agriculture and Commerce), and Teishin Sho (Communications). In 1888 a Privy Council, modelled on that of Great Britain, was constituted. The new Constitution, promised by the Mikado in 1881, was proclaimed on the 11th February, 1889, and in July, 1890, the first Parliament was elected and met on the 29th November. The Parliamentary system is bicameral, the House of Peers and the House of Representatives constituting the Imperial Diet. The Upper House is partly elective, partly hereditary, and partly nominated. The Lower House consists of 300 members, to be elected by ballot, and its duration is fixed at four years, but in case of necessity the term may be prolonged. The Emperor nominates the Ministers forming the Cabinet and there is no recognition of the responsibility of the Cabinet to the Diet.
The Empire is divided for administrative purposes into three Fu, or cities (Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka), and forty-three Ken, or prefectures, including the Loochoo Islands, which have been converted into a ken and named Okinawa. The island of Yezo is under a separate administration called Hokkaido-cho. These fu and ken are governed by prefects, who are all of equal rank, are under control of the Naimu Sho, and have limited powers, being required to submit every matter, unless there is a precedent for it, to the Minister of the Interior. Nor have they any concern in judicial proceedings, which come under the cognizance of the forty-eight local Courts and the seven Supreme Courts at Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Miyagi, and Hakodate, over which the Daishin In presides at Tokyo.

Previous to the last change of Government, which restored the ancient Imperial régime, the administrative authority rested with the Shogun (Military Commander) whom foreigners were at first led to recognise as the temporal sovereign, and with whom they negotiated treaties of peace and commerce. The Shogunate was founded in 1184 by Yoritomo, a general of great valour and ability, and was continued through several dynasties until 1869, when the Tokugawa family were dispossessed of the usurped authority. Under the Shogun three hundred or more Daimios (feudal princes) shared the administrative power, being practically supreme in their respective domains, conditionally upon their loyalty to the Shogun; but their rank and power disappeared with the Shogunate. On the 7th July, 1884, however, His Majesty issued an Imperial Notification and Rescript rehabilitating the nobility, and admitting to its ranks the most distinguished civil and military officials who took part in the work of the Restoration. The old titles were abolished, and have been replaced by those of Prince (Ko), Marquis (Ko), Count (Haku), Viscount (Shi), and Baron (Dan).
REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.
Owing to recent events, the Budget for 1896-97 is very different from its predecessors. The revenue, including an instalment of the war indemnity, is estimated at about $138,000,000 and the expenditure at $152,000,000, being an increase of $17,000,000 in revenue and of $62,700,000 in expenditure over the previous year. The increased expenditure is due to interest on war loan and temporary loans, and to increases in the army, navy, and public works. Thus the expenditure for the extension of the navy has been voted at $94,000,000 to be spent in the next seven years, and $43,000,000 for the expansion of the army. Excluding the indemnity and subsidy for the occupation of Wei-hai-wei, the revenue is $97,200,000, or an increase of "only $7,000,000 over the previous year. To meet the deficit of $14,000,000 (after including over $40,000,000 of the war indemnity in revenue) new taxes have been imposed which are estimated to yield over 52 million dollars, and the net increase in revenue is estimated at 26 millions. The increase in the war department for the current year is $19,261,180, and in the navy department $29,392,750. The large appropriation of nearly 95 million dollars, during seven years from April, 1895, for naval extension is exclusive of ships in course of construction. Of this sum 47 million dollars are for new vessels, nearly 34 millions for armament, and about 14 millions for buildings. For the increase of the army the extraordinary expenditure, spread over five years, is more than 43 millions of dollars, of which 17 millions are for construction and equipment," 14 for forts and their armament, 8 for manufacture of arms, and about three millions for extension of existing arsenals. This expenditure is expected to be exceeded. There are supplementary budgets for Formosa and Wei-hai-wei, which bring the total estimated expenditure to $196,999,165.
The public debt of Japan amounted in 1896 to $520,753,119, of which only $1,203,408 was a foreign loan, and this latter is to be extinguished in 1897. It is intended that the existing national debt shall be paid off by annual appropriations extending to the year 1934.
ARMY AND Navy,
The armed force of Japan is divided into the Standing Army, the Reserve, and the Militia, and the troops into five classes. When on a peace footing the Army numbers 69,090 men, and on a war footing 267,896 men. They are stationed in various parts of the Empire, which is divided into six military districts, having headquarters at Tokyo, Sendai, Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Kumamoto. Each of these military districts contains in time of peace 4 battalions of Infantry, I regiment of Cavalry, 2 batteries Artillery, 1 regiment of Engineers, and 1 regiment of Transport Corps. Camps are estab- lished in 56 places. Not included in the above are the Imperial Guard composed of 5,336 picked troops, which bring up the strength of the regular army, in time of peace, to some 74,426.
The navy of Japan consists of one barbette ship, one ironclad frigate, three steel coastguard ships, ten steel cruisers, nine steel gunboats, three composite sloops, one torpedo gunboat, a number of wooden vessels, and fifty-five torpedo boats. There are also in course of construction in England two first-class ironclad battle ships each of 13,411 tons, to steam 18 knots, carrying four cannon and thirty-four quick-firing guns; and in Japan one steel despatch boat of 1,800 tons, with a speed of twenty knots, and carrying twelve quick-firing guns, and one steel cruiser of 2,800 tons, with a speed of 19 knots, and carrying twenty quick-firing guns and four machine guns. The most powerful vessel at present in the navy is the barbette ship Chinyen, formerly the Chinyuen, captured from China in 1895; her displacement is 7,335 tons, her speed 14 knots, and her armament, which is now undergoing some alteration, consisted
10
JAPAN
formerly of four 30% c.m. Krupp guns, two 15 c.m. Krupp guns, and eight machine guns. The steel coastguard ships Itsukushima and Matsushima, built in France, and Hashidate, built in Japan, are sister vessels; they have a displacement of 4,278 tons with engines of 5,400 horse-power, and their armament consists of one powerful gun (65 tons) and twenty-nine quick-firing guns in the case of the Itsukushima and twenty- seven in the others. The next largest vessel, the ironclad frigate Fuso, has a displacement of 3,779 tons with engines of 3,932 horse-power. The armour is from 7 inches to 9 inches in thickness, while the armament consists of four 15-ton and two 5-ton steel breechloaders by Krupp, so arranged as to command every point of the horizon, and five machine guns. The ironclad corvette called the Kongo has a displacement of 2,800 tons, with engines of 2,500 horse- power, and a belt of armour 4 inches thick. The armament consists of 11 Krupp guns, capable of throwing steel shells of 124 pounds. The Hiye is a sister ship to the Kongo. The protected cruiser Haiyen, of 2,108 tons and carrying three Krupp, six quick-firing, and six machine guns, was captured from China in 1895. The steel cruiser Tsukushi steams 16 knots an hour, and carries two 25-ton breechloading guns, one in the bow and stern respectively. The Naniwa and Takachiho, having each a displacement of 3,709 tons, built by Messrs. Armstrong & Co. in England in 1886 are fast and powerfully armed cruisers. They steam 18 knots an hour and carry two 25-ton breechloading guns besides machine guns. Another steel cruiser, the Chiyoda, built on the Clyde, arrived in Japan in 1890. She is a vessel of 2,450 tons, and carries 25 guns and three torpedo tubes. The first class steel cruiser Yoshino, built in England, is of 4,200 tons displacement, with engines of 5,500 horse power, and steams 224 knots.
POPULATION, Trade, and Industry,
The total area of Japan is estimated at 156,604 square miles, and the population, According to census returns taken in December, 1891, was 40,718,677, namely, 20,563,416 males and 20,155,261 females. The increase during the last ten years has slightly ex- ceeded one per cent. per annum. The empire is geographically divided into the four islands: Honshiu, the central and most important territory; Kiushiu, "nine provinces," the south-western island; Shikoku, "the four provinces," the southern island; and Yezo, the most northerly and least developed. The former three islands are sub-divided into eight large roads, containing sixty-six provinces, and the latter (Yezo or Hokkaido) is divided into eleven provinces. Administratively, as before mentioned, the Empire is divided into fu and ken, each ken containing more than one province.

There has been a very large increase in the export of Silk Piece Goods. The export of Tea varied little during the last four years and amounted to 38,826,661 catties in 1895. The export of Coal and Coal Dust in 1895 was 1,376,068 tons and 468,747 tons for ships' use, against 1,265,501 tons and 435,626 for ships' use in 1894, an increase of 8 per cent. in quantity and 13 per cent. in value over that of 1894, which was about the same in amount and value as for the two previous years. The export of Matches steadily increased till 1894 when there was a slight check by the war with China. It was 16,914,027 gross in 1895, against 13,843,022 in 1894, 13,541,287 in 1893, 9,242,035 in 1892, 8,029,932 in 1891, and 6,724,585 in 1890.

The total Customs Revenue for the same year consisted of-Export Duties yen 2,273,102; Import Duties, yen 4,238,842; Miscellaneous, yen 172,639; Total, yen 6,684,583. The revenue has more than doubled since 1885.
By treaties made with a number of foreign Governments the Japanese ports of Kanagawa (Yokohama), Nagasaki, Kobe, Hakodate, Niigata, and the cities of Tokyo (formerly called Yedo) and Osaka were thrown open to foreign commerce. In 1894 a new treaty was signed with Great Britain by which extraterritoriality is abolished and the whole country opened to foreign trade and residence, but it does not come into force for five years, nor then, unless similar treaties be effected with the other Powers. Similar treaties have been concluded with the United States, France, Italy, Holland, and Russia, and others are in course of negotiation.
Railways in Japan are now being rapidly pushed forward. The first railway constructed was the one connecting Yokohama with Tokyo; it is 18 miles long and was opened for traffic as a single road on the 12th June, 1872, and was completed as a double line throughout on the 8th May, 1880. The total mileage open on 1st March, 1895, was 2,118. The principal line in point of importance is what is known as the Tokaido Railway, which unites Tokyo with Kobe, vid Yokohama, Shizuoka, Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka. The North-Eastern Railway runs from Tokyo to Aomori, a port on the northern coast, and is 454 miles in length. The last section, from Morioka to Aomori, was opened to traffic on the 3rd September, 1891. Other lines are in course of construc tion, some of which will ultimately complete the chain of communication from the extreme north of Hondo to Nagasaki in the south. In 1892 the Diet passed a law giving power to the Government to construct a network of state railways which will ultimately connect all the important towns in the Empire, and to issue bonds in the first instance to the extent of Yên 60,000,000 to meet the expenses. Most of the present lines are owned by private railway companies of which there were in 1896 twenty-nine in existence, their paid up capital amounting to $63,928,669.
The ports of Yokohama, Kobe, Osaka, Nagasaki, and Hakodate are connected with each other, and with Europe, by lines of telegraph, and the telegraph system, extending over 8,500 miles, connects all the important towns of the Empire. Japan has joined the Universal Postal Union, and for the past fifteen years has conducted the international as well as domestic postal service. The telephone has been introduced into Tokyo and other large cities.
EDUCATION.
Education is very general in Japan, and is making great progress. There are numerous Middle Schools, Normal Schools, and Colleges for special studies, such as Law, Science, Medicine, Mining, Agriculture, and Foreign Languages, and several Female High
TOKYO

Schools have been established, and are carefully fostered by the Government. In order to facilitate the prosecution of foreign studies the Government of the Mikado has engaged many European professors, and also sent, at the public expense, a large number of students to America and Europe. An association called the Romaji Kwai, for promot- ing the adoption of the Roman alphabet in Japan, was formed in 1885, but is not making much progress.
TOKYO
The capital of Japan (until the Restoration called Yedo] is situated at the north of the Bay of Yedo, has a circumference of 27 miles, and covers a surface of nearly 36 square miles. The Sumida, or Okawa (Great River), runs through the city, dividing Tokyo proper from the districts on the east side called Honjo and Fukagawa.
Tokyo as viewed from the bay is a pleasant-looking city, being well situated on undulating ground, and possessing abundant foliage. The city is divided into fifteen grand divisions, and its suburbs into six divisions. It is in fact more like an aggregation of towns than one great city. The Castle of Tokyo occupies a commanding position on a hill a little to the westward of the centre of the city. It is enclosed in double walls, and surrounded by a fine broad moat. Within the Castle formerly stood the Imperial Palace and several public offices, but the destructive fire of the 3rd of April, 1872, levelled these ancient and massive buildings, leaving only the surrounding lofty turrets and walls. A new Palace on the old site has been constructed, and the Mikado took up his residence there, in January, 1889. The Imperial Garden called Fukiage is situated within the enclosure of the Castle. It is tastefully laid out in the pure native style, and contains fine forest trees, rare and beautiful plants of all kinds, a large pond, cascades, &c., and is most carefully kept. This fine garden well repays inspection, and admission can be obtained by visitors with orders granted by the Department of the Imperial Household.
Between the Castle and the outer walls, a large area was formerly occupied by the numerous palaces of the Daimios, but nearly all these feudal erections have now given place to smart brick or stone buildings, used as Public Offices, Barracks, Government Schools, &c., so that at the present time very few of the Daimios' palaces remain to illustrate what old Yedo was like in the time of the Shogunate. Some of those that remain, near the Castle, have been converted into Government Offices. They are large long buildings of a single high storey, plain but substantial, with no pretensions to architecture, but interesting as reminiscences of feudal Japan.
The remaining portion of the city outside the walls is very densely inhabited, and may be called the commercial district of Tokyo. It has a circumference of 24 miles and covers an area of about 29 square miles. The most important part of the business quarter is on the east of the Castle, and is traversed by a main street running from the north to the south-west under different names. A considerable length of this thoroughfare, which is called Ginza, is lined with newly built brick buildings in the European style; the road is wide and well kept, the pavement broad and planted with trees on either side. As it is in close contiguity to the principal railway station, it is always very animated and thronged with vehicles and foot passengers.
The north end of the main street leads to the new public park or garden named Uyeno, which was formerly occupied by the magnificent Temple founded and main- tained by the Shoguns, and which was destroyed by fire during the war of Restoration in July, 1868. In these grounds the Industrial Exhibition of 1877 was erected, when the gardens were converted into a public pleasure resort by the Government. Several exhibitions have since been held here and have proved very successful. In Uyeno is also situated the fine Imperial Museum (Haku-butsu-kwan).
Among the places much resorted to by visitors is the ancient temple of Kwannon, at Asakusa, not far from Uyeno, one of the most popular and most frequented temples in Japan. The temple is elevated about 20 feet from the ground. A flight of steps gives access to the interior. There is a chief altar at the extreme end of the temple, with side chapels at its right and left, containing a great number of wooden images and ex votos. The interior is not very large, and is not so conspicuous for cleanliness as most of the
14
TOKYO
public buildings in Japan. At the right of the temple there is a fine old Pagoda, and near it two colossal stone statues. A new park was also opened close to the temple about the same time as that of Uyeno. Thus, with Shiba, in the south-west, where are to be seen some of the splendid shrines of the Shoguns, among the chief glories of Tokyo, there are three large public gardens within the city. The buildings which are called the Temple of Confucius were formerly the University of Tokyo, but this has been superseded since the Restoration by the Teikoku Daigaku and other schools in which Foreign instructors are employed. There are altogether 1,275 temples in Tokyo, some of which are fine edifices. The building in which the Imperial Diet meets is a plain edifice, and is only intended for temporary use.
The districts of Honjo and Fukagawa form the quiet portion of the capital. This quarter is connected with Tokyo proper by five great bridges, some of which are constructed of iron and some of wood. They are called, commencing on the north, Adsuma-Bashi, Umaya-Bashi, Ryogoku-Bashi, O-Hashi, and Eitai-Bashi respectively. The quay on the banks of the Sumida forms a spacious and handsome street, and may be especially recommended to a traveller who has only a few days to spend in Tokyo. In passing along the quay he will see across the stream several fine temples and great buildings which stand on the western banks of the Great River, and he may get at the same time a very good idea of the animated river-life of the Sumida, whose waters are always covered with junks and boats of all descriptions.
A great part of the remaining area forming the district north of the Castle is covered by paddy fields, in the midst of which rise picturesquely situated houses. There are also extensive pleasure gardens, such as Asuka-yama, and neat little villages. The part west of the Castle contains fifty temples, and a number of nobles' palaces. The district on the south of the Castle, with an area of about 17 square miles, contains about sixty temples. The most remarkable among them is Yutenji in Meguro.
Several great fires have during the last two decades or so swept Tokyo, and these have led to great improvements and widening of the streets. Rows of good houses in brick and stone, and new bridges, in many cases of iron or stone, have been built and the city has in many portions been thoroughly modernised. Tramways have been laid and the cars are usually crowded with passengers. The main streets and those adjacent to them are lighted by electricity, and the remainder by gas and oil lamps. A race course has been formed close to Uyeno. Lines of telegraph, amounting in all to 200 miles, connect the various parts of the city with one another, and with the country lines. The main streets are broad and well kept, and improvements attend the work of reconstruction after each conflagration. But as the city is in a transition state, it necessarily presents many strange anomalies. Side by side with lofty stone buildings stand rows of rude wooden houses. As with the buildings so with the people; while the mass still wear the native dress, numbers appear in European costume. The soldiers and police are dressed in uniform on the Western model.
The environs of Tokyo are very picturesque and offer a great variety of pleasant walks or rides. Foreigners will find much to interest them in the country round. The finest scenery is at the northern and western sides of the city, where the country is surrounded by beautiful hills, from which there is a distant view of the noble mountains of Hakone, while beyond rises in solitary grandeur the towering peak of Fuji-san covered with snow the greater part of the year. The population of Tokyo, according, to the official census of 1895, was 1,342,153; this does not include the suburbs. The foreign residents in June, 1891, numbered 807, of whom 214 were British, 204 American, and 133 German. Many of these residents are in Government or Japanese employ.
The native Press is represented by more than a hundred newspapers, several of which are dailies. There are 1,225 schools of different classes, including one university. A large and handsome hotel designed for foreigners and called the Imperial Hotel, was opened in 1890. There is also a first class hotel called the Metropole, under foreign management, worked in connection with the Club Hotel of Yokohama.

YOKOHAMA
Yokohama is the principal Treaty port of Japan, and was opened to foreign trade in July, 1859. It is situated on the Bay of Yokohama, a small bay on the western side of the Gulf of Yedo, in lat. 35 deg. 26 min. 11 sec. N., and long. 139 deg. 39 min. 20 sec., in the island of Honshiu, and is distant about eighteen miles from the capital, with which it is connected by a line of railway. The settlement stands on what was originally a swamp, and the town having sprung up from a poor fishing village only since the site was selected for a treaty port instead of the little town of Kanagawa--possesses few attractions for the visitor. The scenery around, however, is hilly and pleasing, and on clear days the snow-crowned summit and graceful outlines of Fuji-san, a volcanic mountain 12,370 feet high-celebrated in Japanese literature and depicted on innu- merable native works of art is most distinctly visible, though some seventy-five miles distant. Yokohama is compactly built of low houses with tiled roofs. The town is divided into two nearly equal parts, the western half being occupied by the foreign settlement. Beyond the plain on which the town is built rises a sort of semicircle of low hills called "The Bluff," a special concession made to foreigners subsequent to the founding of the Settlement, which is now thickly dotted with handsome foreign villas and dwelling-houses in various styles of architecture, all standing in pretty gardens. From these dwellings charming prospects are obtainable. The Bluff is about 150 feet higher than the Settlement, and is much more salubrious. Along the water-front of the foreign settlement runs a good road called the Bund, on which, facing the water, stand many of the principal houses and hotels and the United Club. The streets in the foreign settlement are fairly paved, kerbed, and drained. There are Anglican, French Catholic, Union Protestant, and native Mission Churches in the settlement. A fine Cricket and Recreation Ground exists in the Settlement, and there are well laid out Public Gardens on the Bluff. There is a fairly good Race Course situated about two miles from the Settlement. A good Boating Club also exists, which has provided facilities for deep sea bathing. The Public Hall, containing a theatre and assembly rooms, neatly built of brick, is situated at the top of Camp Hill, and was opened in 1885. The chief public buildings in the native town are the Kencho, opposite the British Consulate, the Town Hall, which has a clock tower, and the Custom House. The Railway Station is also a creditable structure, being a well designed and commodious terminus. The
32
YOKOHAMA
town is now in the enjoyment of an excellent water supply, large Waterworks having been completed in 1887. The harbour is much exposed, but two breakwaters, of an aggregate length of 12,000 feet, have been built and are so projected as to practically enclose the whole of the anchorage, leaving an entrance 650 feet wide between their extremities. There is a pier 2,000 feet long at which vessels may load or discharge. A graving dock will probably be constructed by private enterprise. Yokohama is well supplied with hotels. There are four English daily papers published in the port, namely, the Japan Gazette, Japan Herald, Japan Daily Mail, and Japan Daily Advertiser; the Mail and Gazette also issue weekly editions.
The population of Yokohama numbered, on the 31st December, 1895, 170,597. The number of foreign residents was 3,553, of whom 1,808 were Chinese, 806 British, and the rest of various nationalities.

HAKODATE
51
This, the most northerly of the treaty ports of Japan, is situated in the south of Yezo on the Straits of Tsugaru, which divide that island from Honshiu. The port lies in latitude 41 deg. 47 min. 8 sec. N., and longitude 140 deg. 45 min. 31 sec. E., and the harbour is nearly land-locked. The town clusters at the foot and on the slope of a bold rock known to foreigners as Hakodate Head, 1,106 feet in height. The surrounding country is hilly, volcanic, and striking, but the town itself possesses few attractions. The foreign concession has never been built upon, the few foreign residents in the port having taken up their quarters in Japanese buildings. A row of fine temples, with lofty picturesque roofs, occupying higher ground than the rest of the town, are the most conspicuous buildings. There are some Public Gardens at the eastern end of the town, which contain a small but interesting Museum. Waterworks for supplying the town with pure water were completed in 1889. The climate of Hakodate is healthy and bracing. The hottest month is August, but the therinometer then rarely rises above 90 degrees Fahr.; in the winter it sometimes sinks to 18 degrees. The mean temperature throughout the year is about 48 degrees. The population of Hakodate in 1895 was 68,594. The number of foreign residents in 1895 was 85, of whom 53 were Europeans and Americans, and 32 Chinese.
The foreign trade of the port is small. The value of the imports declined from $676,534 in 1890 to $12,101 in 1892, but had risen to $160,362 in 1895. The exports for 1895 amounted to $748,388, which was about the average for the past ten years. The agricultural resources of Yezo have been to some extent developed under the auspices of the Kaitakushi or Colonization Department. The rich pasture lands are well adapted
52
HAKODATE
for breeding cattle. In the valuable and extensive fisheries on the coast, however, the chief exports of the future from Hakodate are to be looked for. Increasing quantities of dried fish and seaweed are exported annually, mostly to China. The mineral resources of Yezo are large, and may also some day yield a valuable addition to the exports of this port. There are now three large coal mines in operation, one in Poronai, one at Ikushunbetsu, and a third at Sorachi. Hakodate is connected with the capital by telegraph. A railway from Otaru to Sapporo, 22 miles long, was opened to public traffic on the 28th November, 1880, and has since been carried on to Poronai, where are some large coal mines, the total length of the line being 56 miles. A branch to Ikushun- betsu, seven miles, has since been made, and another line from the coal mines to Mororan, a port on the south-east of the island, a distance of 143 miles, has been completed and was opened to traffic in July, 1892.

NIIGATA
Niigata is situated on the west coast of Japan and in the southern part of the province of Echigo, at the mouth of the river Shinano. Though well located for trade it has yielded the most disappointing results of all the Treaty ports of Japan. Foreign goods find their way to Niigata in considerable quantities, but since the opening of the port no direct foreign trade has been developed there. The imports in 1895 amounted to $33,429 and the exports to $23,811.
The town, which is one of the cleanest and best laid-out in Japan, covers an area of rather more than one square mile, and consists of five parallel streets intersected by cross streets watered by canals which communicate with the river. It has been materially improved within the last few years by the widening of the canals and streets, the latter of which are now lighted with petroleum obtained in the district. New Law Courts, Post-office, and Schools have been built, and the town is connected by telegraph with Tokyo and other cities of the Empire. A Government Hospital and a Medical School, as well as a large English School under English and American masters, have been established here. A handsome building for the local assembly was completed in 1884. A steam rice mill has been started and some fresh industries have been commenced. Niigata is famed for the beauty of its women. The population of the town in December, 1895, was 49,910.

OSAKA
Osaka is the second city in Japan in point of size and commercial importance, and has not inaptly been termed the Venice of the Far East, owing to the manner in which it is intersected by canals. The city is compact and well laid out, the streets being regular, clean, and animated. Osaka is essentially Japanese, though a go-ahead and progressive city, and possesses much of interest to the foreign visitor. It is situated in the province of Settsu, and is built on the banks of the river Ajikawa, about five miles from the sea. The river is only navigable for small vessels, and on the opening of the railway to Kobe the foreign trade of Osaka commenced to decline. Almost all the foreign firms in the latter city have removed to Kobe. The most imposing and at the same time the most interesting object to be seen in Osaka is the Castle, erected in 1583 by one of the Shoguns, the famous Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Though less extensive than that of Tokyo, it is a much grander and more striking edifice, and is indeed, next to that of Nagoya, the finest example of the ancient feudal castles of Japan. It is now occupied by the Osaka garrison, and forms the headquarters of one of the six great military districts, and it has also within its inclosure an extensive military arsenal. The city is the seat of the provincial government, which is called Fucho, in contradistinction to the other provincial governments, which are termed Kencho. Osaka is the seat of numerous industries, including cotton spinning mills, shipbuilding yards, and iron works, and the Imperial Mint is located there. This establishment is in active operation and turns out a coinage not surpassed by any in the world. The imports in 1895 amounted to $2,621,261, and the exports to $1,134,700 against $1,014,813 imports and 8764,367, exports in the previous year. The population of Osaka was 490,009 in December, 1895. The number of foreign residents was 103, not including Chinese. The British and American residents are, with few exceptions, missionaries.

KOBE-HYOGO
Kobe was until 1892 the foreign port of the adjoining town of Hyogo and was opened to foreign trade in 1868; in October, 1892, Hyogo was also declared by the Japanese Government to form part of the open port. The port is finely situated on the Idzumi-nada, at the gate of the far-famed Inland Sea. The harbour is good and affords safe anchorage for vessels of almost any size. The two towns face the landlocked water covered with white sails, while behind, at a distance of about a mile, rises a range of picturesque and lofty hills, some of which attain an altitude of about 2,500 feet, and the steep sides of which are partly covered with pines. Kobe and Hyogo stretch for some three miles along this strip of land between the hills and the water. The Foreign Concession at Kobe is well laid out, the streets are broad and clean, and lighted with gas. There is a Municipal Council consisting of the Governor, the Foreign Consuls, and three elected members of the community. The Bund has a fine stone embankment and extends the whole length of Kobe. The foreign houses are neatly built, and the Sannomiya railway station, within three minutes' walk of the Concession, has a very English look. The railway terminus is at the other end of Kobe, where it meets Hyogo, and there are extensive carriage works adjoining the station. A rice-cleaning mill was started here in 1885. The foreign concession at Kobe is the "model settlement" of Japan. There is a good Club and a spacious recreation ground at the East end of the settlement. The Union Protestant Church and a French Roman Catholic Church are in the Concession, and there is also a native Protestant Church in Kobe town. The two principal Hotels are the Oriental and the Club Hotel. Three foreign daily papers, the Hyogo News, the Kobe Herald, and the Kobe Chronicle, are published in Kobe, and there are one or two native papers. The population of Kobe-Hyogo in December, 1895, was 161,406. There were 819 foreign residents in Kobe in 1895, exclusive of Chinese, who numbered 988.
The old town of Hyogo is only divided from Kobe by the river Minato, which is spanned by a substantial stone bridge. Hyogo contains few features of interest, and the streets and shops are inferior to those of Kobe, its population being much smaller and nearly stationary. The Temple of Shinkoji, which possesses a large bronze Buddha, is worth a visit; and there is a monument to the Japanese hero Kiyomori, erected in 1286, in a grove of trees in the vicinity of the temple, which claims some attention from its historic associations. On the Kobe side of the Minato-gawa also stands a temple dedicated to Kusunski Masashige, so famous in Japanese history for loyalty and valour, who died on the spot in 1336 during the unsuccessful wars for the Restoration of the Mikado's power. In connection with the Imperial Shipbuilding Yard at Hyogo is a Patent Slip, which will accommodate vessels up to 2,000 tons. Its total length is 900 feet; length above water, 300 feet; breadth, 38 feet; declivity, 1 in 20. The slip is worked by hydraulic power.
Kobe is connected with Osaka by rail, the distance between them being twenty miles. This line, which was subsequently extended to Kyoto (the ancient capital of Japan), a distance of 27 miles from Osaka, was formally opened to traffic by the Mikado on the 5th February, 1887. It was further extended to Nagoya in 1888, and thence by degrees to Yokohama and Tokyo, and is now known as the Tokaido Railway. It was opened through its entire length (376 miles) in July, 1889. The connection of these important places with Kobe by rail has naturally tended to centralise trade at this fast rising port. The Sanyo railway is also now open as far as Hiroshima, and is being vigorously pushed on to Shimonoseki, its ultimate terminus, 320 miles from Kobe.

NAGASAKI
Nagasaki is a city of great antiquity, and in the early days of European intercourse with the Far East was the most important seat of the foreign trade with Japan. It is admirably situated on the south-western coast of the island of Kiushiu. A melancholy interest attaches to the neighbourhood as the scene of the extinction of Christianity in the empire and the extermination of the professors of that religion in 1637. At the entrance to the harbour lies the celebrated island of Pappenberg, where thousands of Christian martyrs were thrown over the high cliff rather than go through the form of trampling on the cross. Not far from Nagasaki is also the village of Mogi, where 37,000 Christians suffered death in defending themselves against the forces sent to subdue them. When the Christian religion was crushed and the foreigners expelled, to the Dutch alone was extended the privilege of trading with Japan, and they were confined to a small plot of ground at Nagasaki called Deshima. By the treaty of 1858, Nagasaki was one of the ports opened to British trade on the 1st July in the following year.
On entering the harbour of Nagasaki no stranger can fail to be struck with the admirable situation of the town and the beautiful panorama of hilly scenery opened to his view. The harbour is a landlocked inlet deeply indented with small bays, about three miles long with a width varying from half-a-mile to a mile. The native town is on the eastern side of the harbour, and is about two miles long by about three-quarters of a mile in extreme width. The foreign settlement adjoins the native town on the south side, The chief mercantile houses are situated on the bund facing the harbour, behind which are a few streets running parallel with it, and there are a number of private residences on the hill side. There are English Protestant and Roman Catholic churches, two clubs, and a Masonic Lodge. The Belle Vue Hotel affords fair accommodation for visitors, The Nagasaki dock was lengthened during 1894 to admit vessels of 500 feet in length on a draught of 26 feet. Attached to the dock are extensive Engine Works, most completely equipped and fitted. These works were originally built by the Japanese Government, but they now belong, as does the dock, to the Mitsu Bishi Company, Waterworks have recently been completed. The reservoir holds 90,000,000 gallons, and there are three filter beds and a service reservoir. The Kiushiu Railway is now partly constructed, the line between Moji and Kumamoto, a distance of one hundred miles, being opened. A branch line to Nagasaki has been completed as far as Saga, and the section between Saga and Sasebo is to be pushed on at once, when there will be only a short section wanting to establish through communication between Nagasaki and Moji. The climate of Nagasaki is mild and salubrious, and there are several very popular health resorts in the neighbourhood, the most famous being Mount Unzen,
After the opening of the port the trade for several years steadily developed, but it subsequently declined, owing to various causes, but chiefly perhaps on account of its gradual attraction to Yokohama. During the last eight years, however, there has been a steady improvement in the foreign trade, which has more than doubled itself in that period The chief articles of import are cotton and woollen manufactures. The principal exports are coal, tea, camphor, rice, vegetable wax, tobacco, and dried fish. There are several very productive coal mines near Nagasaki, of which the Takashima mine is the most important. The total quantity of coal exported from Nagasaki in 1895 was 374,862 tons, and from the special ports of export (Shimonoseki, Moji, Karatsu, and Kuchinotsu) 1,290,587 tons.
The value of the import trade of Nagasaki during the year 1895 was $6,370,689 against $5,413,748 in 1894, and that of the export trade $4,244,198 against $3,558,711 in 1893. Coal is the staple article of export.
The population of Nagasaki in 1895 was 71,619. The number of foreign residents, as given in the Consular report for 1895, was 1,049, of whom 543 were Chinese, 121 British, and 385 other Europeans and Americans. A small foreign weekly paper entitled the Rising Sun, which also publishes a daily shipping list, is published in the oprt. There are also two native papers.

FORMOSA
This island, one of the largest in Asia, is situated between latitude 22 and 26 degrees N., and longitude 120 and 122 degrees E., and is separated from the coast of Fukien, China, by a channel about one hundred miles in width. It is a prolongation of the Japanese and Loochoo Archipelagoes and in 1895 was incorporated in the Jap- anese empire. Its name Formosa, signifying "beautiful island," was conferred by the Portuguese, the first Europeans to visit it, but it was called Taiwan (Great Bay) by the Chinese, to whom it belonged from 1661 to 1894. It is said that the Japanese endeavoured to form a colony in the island in 1620, but large numbers of Chinese were settled there prior to that date. The Dutch arrived in 1634, and founded several settlements, and traces of their occupation are still to be found in the island, but they were compelled in 1661 to retire by the Chinese pirate chief Koxinga, who then assumed the sovereignty of western Formosa. His grandson and successor, however, was induced, twenty-two years later, to resign the crown to the Emperor of China. By the treaty of Shimonoseki the island was ceded to Japan as one of the terms of peace, and on the 1st June, 1895, the formal surrender was made, the ceremony taking place on board ship outside Kelung. The resident Chinese officials, however, declared a republic, and offered resistance, and it was not until the end of October that the opposing forces were completely overcome, the last stand being made in the south by Liu Yung-fu, the Black Flag General, of Tonkin notoriety. Takow was bom- barded and captured on 15th October, and Anping was peacefully occupied on the 21st of the same month, Liu Yung-fu having taken refuge in flight.
Formosa is about 210 miles in length, and from 60 to 70 miles broad in the widest part, with a circumference of some 450 miles. It is intersected from north to south by a range of mountains, which forms a kind of backbone to the island, the loftiest peak of which, Mount Sylvia, is 11,300 feet high. On the western side of this range the slope is more gradual than on the eastern side, and broken by fertile valleys which lose themselves in the large undulating plain on which the Chinese are settled. The whole of the territory east of the dividing chain is peopled by an aboriginal race who acknowledged no allegiance to the Chinese Government and made frequent raids on the outlying Chinese settlements, but they have proved themselves friendly to the Japanese. They are a savage and warlike people, allied to the Malays and Polynesians, and live principally by the chase. The Chinese population of Formosa is estimated at about 2,500,000; the number of the aborigines it is, of course, quite impossible to estimate. The productions of Formosa are numerous, vegetation being everywhere most luxuriant, testifying to the richness of the soil. Rice, sugar, tea, and camphor are largely cultivated and exported. The fauna includes bears, monkeys, deer, wild boar, badgers, martens, the scaly anteater, and other smaller animals. Birds are not very numerous, and snakes are not so common as might be expected where vegetation is so abundant. It is believed that the mineral wealth of the island is very considerable. Gold has been found and worked in the beds of the streams; valuable coal mines are in work near Kelung, and sulphur springs also exist in the north of the island. The interior of the island is, however, still practically unexplored. One great drawback to the island is its want of good harbours, which is more especially felt on account of the strength of the monsoons in the Formosa Channel. Those on the eastern side are few and neither commodious nor accessible, while on the west coast most of the harbours are little better than open roadsteads. Taipeh is the capital of Formosa, but Tainan-fu is the chief city in point of trade and population. The open ports are four in number- Takow and Tainan-fu in the south, and Tamsui and Kelung in the north. The latter was held for some months in 1884-5 by the French, under Admiral Courbet, but was evacuated on the 21st June, 1885. The rivers of Formosa are few, shallow, and winding, only navigable to small flat-bottomed boats. The scenery is delightful, and the climate is very pleasant in the winter, but hot and malarious in the wet season. There is a railway from Kelung to Tekcham, and the Japanese are extending it southwards to
Takow.

TAMSUI AND KELUNG
The port of Tamsui lies in lat. 25 deg. 10 min. N. and long. 101 deg. 26 min. E. on the north-western side of the fertile island of Formosa. It is an uninteresting place. The harbour, like all others in Formosa, has a troublesome bar, which greatly retards the growth of the port. Dredging would do much to render it more accessible. The town, called Hûbei, is situated on the north side of the river, about two miles from the bar. In October, 1884, the French ships under Admiral Courbet bombarded Tamsui, but were unable to take the place. The Japanese took possession on the 7th June, 1895. The population of Tamsui is estimated at 100,000. The trade is not extensive. Tea grows on the hills in the locality, and the production of Formosa Oolongs is annually increasing. In 1872 the export only amounted to 19,513 piculs, while in 1894 it reached 154,003 piculs. The total value of the trade of the port in 1894 was Tls. 8,305,948 and in 1893, Tls. 7,849,951.
The port of Kelung lies to the north-east of Tamsui, in latitude 25 deg. 6 min. N. and longitude 121 deg. 47 min. E. It is situated on the shores of a bay between the capes of Foki and Peton, some twenty miles apart, amidst bold and striking scenery, hacked by a range of mountains. It was once a Spanish Settlement, but was subsequently captured and held by the Dutch until they in turn gave place to the Chinese under Koxinga, a pirate chief who caused himself to be proclaimed King of Formosa. Though a mere village, it has long carried on a considerable native trade with Amoy, Chin-chew, and Foochow. Its staple product is coal, the mines of which could be made very productive; one colliery at Coal Harbour has been worked by the Government, with modern English machinery, but the output has never been very great. Sulphur also abounds in a valley in the neighbourhood, but the Authorities would not allow it to be worked. Kelung was opened to foreign trade at the same time as the other
78
TAMSUI AND KELUNG
Formosan ports. The foreign trade at this port is chiefly confined to the shipment of coal. The export in 1894 was 24,243 tons as compared with 21,748 tons in 1893. The limits of the port are defined to be within a straight line drawn from Image Point to Bush Island. On the 5th August, 1881, the port was bombarded by the French under Admiral Léspes, when the forts above the town were reduced to ruins, and the place captured. It was then garrisoned by the French, who held it until after the Treaty of peace had been signed at Tientsin in June, 1885. The place was occupied by the Japanese on the 3rd June, 1895. A railway connects Kelung with Taipeh, the capital, and will be ex- tended thence to Tainan-fu.

TAINAN-FU, TAKOW, AND ANPING
The city of Tainan-fu [until 1889 known as Taiwan], situated in lat. 23 deg. 6 min. N. and long. 129 deg. 5 min. E., is the commercial capital of Formosa, and has a population of 250,000 inhabitants. It is for an Eastern city moderately clean and well paved. The walls are some five miles in circumference. The shipping port of Tainan-fu is Anping, situated on the coast about three miles to the eastward of the city and connected with the suburbs by a creek. The port is an open roadstead, vessels having to anchor a mile or so from the beach. From the 1st November to the end of May the anchorage is a perfectly safe one, but during the S. W. monsoon a heavy swell sets in, rendering it difficult, and at times impossible, for vessels to load or discharge. Anping has of late risen greatly in importance, the foreign firms making it their head quarters instead of Takow, which port in former years was considered of more significance. Tempered by sea breezes, Anping during the summer months can boast of a cool and healthy climate. From 1st October to the end of April there is little or no rain, and the temperature leaves nothing to be desired. Sugar is the principal export of South Formosa, shipments in 1880 having reached 997,690 piculs; but they declined in 1883 to 362,826 piculs. In 1894 the export was 671,974 piculs. The import of Opium during 1894 was 2,130 piculs against 2,608 piculs in 1893. The value of the whole trade of the port in 1894 was TIs. 4,388,547 as compared with Tls. 3,295,869 in 1893.
Takow is a port twenty-four miles to the southward of Anping. It takes little or no share in the import trade, and is rarely visited by the foreign merchants, excepting for a few months in the winter.
The last stand against the Japanese was made at Tainan-fu, Takow, and Anping, by Liu Yung-fu, the Black Flag General. Takow was bombarded on the 15th October and the resistance collapsed without any serious fighting, and Tainan-fu and Anping were occupied on the 21st October.

COREA
Corea, or Chosen (the native name), is a peninsula situated to the north of China which hangs down between that Empire and Japan, separating the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea, between the 34th and 43rd parallels north. It is bounded on the north by Manchuria, on the north-east by Siberia, on the east by the Sea of Japan, on the west by the Yellow Sea, and on the south by the Channel of Corea. It has a coast line measuring 1,740 miles, and with its outlying islands is nearly as large as Great Britain. The name Corea is derived from the Japanese Korai (Chinese Kaoli); and the Portuguese, who were the first navigators in the Yellow Sea, called it Koria. Chosen is translated into "Morning Calm." The eastern half of the peninsula is a sinuous range of mountains of which Western Corea is the slope. The chief rivers of importance are naturally to be found on the western side, and most of the harbours are situate on that coast. Corea is divided into eight do or provinces, named Ping-an, Whang-hai, Kiung-kei (which contains the capital), Chung-chong, Chulla, Kiung-sang, Kang-wen, and Ham-kiung. The climate is healthy and temperate, bracing in the north and milder in the south, where it is more exposed to summer breezes. The Han river at Seoul is often frozen for two months in the year. The fauna includes tigers, leopards, wild deer, wild hogs, and in the south monkeys are to be found. A stunted breed of horses exists, and immense numbers of oxen are raised as food; goats are rare, and sheep are only imported from China for sacrificial purposes. The pheasant, eagle, falcon, crane, and stork are common. A great portion of the soil is fertile and the mineral wealth of the kingdom is believed to be considerable. The history of Corea, like that of its neighbours, is lost in the mists of obscurity, but according to native and Chinese tradition a Chinese noble named Kishi or Ki-tsze, who migrated with his followers to Corea in 1122 B.C., was the founder of the Corean social order and the first monarch. His descendants are said to have ruled until the fourth century before the Christian era. The present dynasty is descended from Ni Taijo, a young soldier who was the architect of his own fortunes, and who succeeded in deposing the Wang dynasty. It was at this time, in the 14th century, that Han-yang, known as Seoul, was selected as the national capital. His Majesty King Li Fin is the twenty-eighth sovereign of the present line. The kingdom is governed, under the King and three Prime Ministers, by six boards or departments-namely, Office and Public Employ, Finance, Ceremonies, War, Justice, and Public Works. The general method of procedure is modelled on that of Peking. The State revenue is derived from the land tax, and it is estimated to amount to about £200,000.
For many centuries the Coreans successfully resisted all efforts to induce them to hold intercourse with foreigners. The King was formerly a vassal of the Emperor of China, and the Emperor of Japan also claimed his allegiance, but by the Treaty of Kokwa, concluded with Japan in 1876, the independence of the country was acknow- ledged, though China, which assented to Corea's conclusion of this and other treaties with foreign Powers as an independent kingdom, inconsistently continued to claim suzerainty. Upon the establishment of Japanese in the ports of Fusan and Yuensan, the prejudice against foreign intercourse gradually abated, and on the 22nd May, 1882, a treaty of friendship and commerce was signed by the Corean Government at Jenchuan with Commodore Shufeldt on behalf of the United States. A Treaty with England was signed by Sir Harry Parkes on the 26th November, 1883; in 1884 Treaties were also concluded with Germany and Russia, and later with France, Italy, and Austria. The population of Corea, according to the last Government census, was 10,518,937. The value of the foreign trade of Corea in 1895 was $12,884,231 as against $11,057,892 in 1894. The principal articles of import are cotton manufactures, and of export, rice, hides and bones, beans, and gold.
In 1894, owing to a rebellion in the Southern provinces, application was made to China for assistance, and Chinese troops were sent to restore order. Japan also sent troops and invited China to co-operate in reforming the government of the country, but China declined, and war resulted, Japan driving the Chinese out of Corea and carrying the war into China itself. The administration has since been under Japanese, and latterly also under Russian, influence.
SEOUL

The capital city of Han-yang, better known to foreigners as Seoul (which is merely the native term for capital), is situated almost in the centre of the province of Kiung-kei, on the north side of and about three miles from the river Han, about thirty- five miles from its mouth. It lies in 37 deg. 30 min. N. lat. and 127 deg. 4 min E.
long. Han-yang means "the fortress on the Han. The city is enclosed by crenellated walls of varying height, averaging about twenty feet, with arched stone bridges spanning the water-courses. It is in the form of an irregular oblong, and stretches lengthwise in a valley that runs from north-east to south-west. The houses are about eight or nine feet high, built of stone or mud, and mostly roofed with tiles. Internally they are clean, for the Coreans, like the Japanese, take off their shoes before entering their houses. A long main street, about 100 feet wide, running east and west, divides the city into two nearly equal portions. In the northern half are the walled inclosures containing the King's Palace and the more important public buildings. A street about 50 feet wide intersects the main street at right angles, dividing the northern half of the city into eastern and western quarters. At the point of intersection stands a pavilion called Chong-kak (the "Bell Kiosk "), from a large bell about seven feet high which is placed there. This spot is regarded as the centre of the city; and from it another street, as wide as the main street, branches off to the south-west. The four wide streets which thus radiate from the "Bell Kiosk" are known as the four Chong-ro or
"Bell roads." Another conspicuous feature of this central part of the city is the row of large warehouses two storeys high, the lower portions of which are divided off into little shops, opening into a small court-yard instead of facing the street. The width of the main streets is much reduced by the construction in front of nearly every house of a rude wooden shanty used for a workshop or for business purposes, which gives the streets a poor and squalid appearance. The city, like most eastern towns, is very dirty, heaps of filth being allowed to accumulate, and the open drains on each side of the streets are the receptacles for all sorts of abominations. The shops are small and unattractive, and contain no articles de luxe or curios. The population of the city is variously estimated at from 150,000 to 240,000 persons; official returns give the number of houses as 30,000. Great changes in the appearance and administration of the city will. necessarily result from the reorganisation of the Government which commenced in 1894

CHEMULPO,
Port of JENCHUAN, called also JINSEN and INCHIUN
This port, known to the Japanese as Jinsen, is situated in lat. 37 deg. 28 min. 30 sec. N. and long. 126 deg. 37 min. E., at the entrance to the Salée river, an embouchure of the Han-kang close to and immediately east of Roze island, on the west coast of Corea, in the metropolitan province of Kiung-kei. Though only ten years ago a mere fishing village, and now still in its infancy, many buildings of a substantial character have been erected and the port is rapidly rising into importance as a commercial centre.
86
CHEMULPO
The sub-prefectural town of Jenchuan is situated 10 i distant from the port, which latter is locally known as Chemulpo. Fut-bing on the Han-kang is the nearest prefectural city, and is distant some 35 l, near which place is situated, also on the Han-kang, the rising town of Mapu, which lies on the main road to Hanyang (Seoul) some 75 li distant from the port (Chemulpo), or 30 li from Seoul. The whole of the land forming the Japanese Settlement at Chemulpo was sold publicly early in 1884; and the first land sales in the general Foreign Settlement took place on the 7th November of the same year. There is a Municipal Council at Chemulpo composed of the Foreign Consuls, one Corean official, and three representatives of the landholders. The settlements have been neatly laid out, with broad well metalled roads, some of which are planted with trees, and the lots are all built upon. The outer anchorage is accessible to ships of all sizes, and the inner one to coasting vessels and steamers ordinarily employed in the local trade. The river is navigable for vessels not drawing over 10 feet up to Mapu; but seeing that at certain seasons there are a few places where the fall in the river is very considerable, owing to the existence of sand banks, it is desirable that river steamers, intended to run regularly, should not draw over six feet. An overland telegraph line from China to this port and the city of Seoul was opened to traffic in November, 1885. The climate is healthy and may be compared to that of Chefoo. The foreign population was 4,675 (including 4,148 Japanese and 482 Chinese) in 1895; the natives were estimated at 5,340.
The port was opened to Japanese trade on the 1st January, 1883, and to foreign trade on the 16th June of the same year. The value of the imports from foreign countries in 1895 was $5,017,086, and that of the exports to foreign countries $1,232,276. The total value of the trade of the port in 1895 was $6,623,325 compared with $5,370,384 in 1894.

GENSAN, WONSAN, OR YUENSAN
This port, situated in Broughton Bay, on the north-eastern coast of Corca, is in the southern corner of the province of Ham-kiung, about half way between Fusan and Wladivostock. It was opened to Japanese trade on the 1st May, 1880, and to other nations in November, 1883, but with the exception of a Russian steamship agency Japan and China are the only countries commercially represented at present. It is called Gensan by the Japanese and Wonsan by the Coreans. The native town has grown considerably since the port was opened to trade and contains now a population of fully 20,000 inhabitants. The town is built along the southern shore of the bay, and through it runs the main road which leads from Seoul to the Tumen river. Markets are held five times a month for the sale of agricultural produce and Foreign imports. The Custom House is situated in the heart of the Foreign Settlements about a mile distant from the Native town. The Japanese have a well-kept settlement containing about 200 houses, with nearly 1,500 inhabitants. The Chinese settlement, which was deserted during the recent war, has been reoccupied. The European and American resid- ents number about 40. The harbour is a good one, being spacious, easy of access, well sheltered, with excellent holding ground, and convenient depth of water. January is the coldest month, and one corner of the harbour-that before the native town is sometimes frozen over, but the part used by shipping is never covered with ice of such a thickness as to interfere with navigation. The country around Yuensan is under cultivation, and the soil is very rich. Within a short distance of the port are mines producing copper and other minerals, and gold is found amongst the neighbouring mountains. The cattle at port, as nearly all over the country, are very fine and plentiful, and can be bought at this very low rates; they are used as beasts of burden and for agricultural purposes. A telegraph line from hence to Seoul was opened in July, 1891.
The trade is carried on by regular lines of steamers running to Japan, Shanghai, and Wladivostock. The net value of the trade in 1895 was $2,816,306 as compared with $2,298,687 in 1894 and $1,477,429 in 1893. The exports consist chiefly of hides, beans, gold-dust, dried fish, and skins. The imports consist chiefly of cotton and silk manufactured goods, metals, and dyes.

FUSAN
Fusan, or Pusan as it is also called by the Corcans, is the chief port of Kiung-sang- the south-eastern province of Corea, and lies in lat. 35 deg. 6 min. 6 sec, N. and long. 129 deg. 3 min. 2 sec. E. It was opened to Japanese trade in 1876 and to Western nations in 1883. The native town is a collection of thatched cabins with a population of about 2,000 inimbitants. The Japanese settlement is situated a little distance from the native town, opposite the island of Cholyongdo (Deer Island), and is regularly laid out, clean, and well kept. It is under the control of the Consul, who is, however, assisted by an elective Municipal Council. Order is maintained by a Police Force in uniforms of European pattern. The streets are lighted by kerosine lamps, and water, conducted from the neighbouring hills, is distributed through the Settlement by pipes and hydrants. The Foreign residents numbered 4,985 in 1895, of whom 4,953 were Japanese, 7 Chinese, and 25 Europeans. The Corean town of Fusan is a walled city, situated at the head of the harbour; it contains the Royal granaries for storing rice, a few wretched houses, and the residence of the small military official in charge. The harbour is good and capacious, with a sufficient depth of water to accommodate the largest vessels. The climate is very salubrious and the place is considered extremely healthy. Sea bathing may be had in perfection. The district city Tong-nai Fu, which is distant about eight miles, is the local centre of trade. It contains a population of about 32,000. A branch of the Foreign Customs Service was established in July, 1883. Regular lines of steamers connect the port with Japan, Shanghai, Chefoo, and Vladivostock. Fusan was connected with Japan by a submarine telegraphi cable in November, 1883.

REIGNING SOVEREIGN AND FAMILY.
Kuang Sü, Emperor of China, is the son of Prince Ch'un, the seventh son of the Emperor Tao Kuang. He succeeded his cousin the late Emperor Tung Chi, who died without issue on the 12th January, 1875, from small-pox.
"}
The proclamation announcing the accession of the present sovereign was as follows:- "Whereas His Majesty the Emperor has ascended upon the Dragon to be a guest on high, without offspring born to his inheritance, no course has been open but that of causing Tsai Tien, son of the Prince of Ch'un, to become adopted as the son of the Emperor Wêng Tsung Hien (Hien Fung) and to enter upon the inheritance of the great dynastic line as Emperor by succession. Therefore, let Tsai Tien, son of Yih Huan, the Prince of Ch'un, become adopted as the son of the Emperor Wên Tsung Hien, and enter upon the inheritance of the great dynastic line as Emperor by succession. The present sovereign is the ninth Emperor of China of the Manchu dynasty of Ta-tsing (Sublime Purity), which succeeded the native dynasty of Ming in the year 1644. There exists no law of hereditary succession to the throne, but it is left to each sovereign to appoint his successor from among the members of his family. The late Emperor, dying suddenly, in the eighteenth year of his age, did not designate a successor, and it was in consequence of palace intrigue, directed by the Empresses Dowager, in concert with Prince Ch'un, that the infant son of the latter was declared Emperor. The Emperor Kuang Su, now in his twenty-sixth year, assumed the reins of Government in February, 1887, was married, on the 26th February, 1889, to Yeh-ho-na-la, niece of the Empress Dowager, and his enthronement took place on the 4th March following.
GOVERNMENT AND REVENUE.
The fundamental laws of the empire are laid down in the Ta-tsing Huei-tien, or Collected Regulations of the Great Pure Dynasty, which prescribe the government of the State as based upon the government of the family. The Emperor is spiritual as well as temporal sovereign, and, as high priest of the Empire, can alone, with his immediate representatives and ministers, perform the great religious ceremonics. No ecclesiastical hierarchy is maintained at the public expense, nor any priesthood attached to the Confucian or State religion.
The administration of the empire is under the supreme direction of the Interior Council Chamber, comprising four inembers, two of Manchu and two of Chinese origin, besides two assistants from the Han-lin, or Great College, who have to see that nothing is done contrary to the civil and religious laws of the empire, contained in the Ta-tsing Huei-tien and in the sacred books of Confucius. These members are denominated Ta Hsio-sz, or Ministers of State. Under their orders are the Li Pu or seven boards of government, each of which is presided over by a Manchu and Chinese. They are:---(1) The board of civil appointment, which takes cognisance of the conduct and administration of all civil officers; (2) The board of revenue, regulating all financial affairs; (3) The board of rites and ceremonies, which enforces the laws and customs to be observed by the people; (4) The military board, superintending the administration of the army; (5) The board of public works; (6) The high tribunal of criminal jurisdiction; and (7) The board of admiralty. To these must be added the Tsung-li Yamên, or board of foreign affairs. Independent of the Government and theoretically above the central administration, is the Tu-cha Yuan, or board of public censors. It consists of from 40 to 50 members, under two presidents, the one of Manchu and the other of Chinese birth. By the ancient custom of the empire, all the members of this board are privileged to present any remonstrance to the sovereign. One censor must be present at the meeting of each of the six government boards.
The estimates of the public revenue of China vary greatly, and, while they are stated by some to exceed 100 millions sterling, are held by others not to come up to half that amount. Official returns of the Chinese Government, published in 1844, stated the annual revenue at that time at Tls. 191,803,139, or £63,934,713. According to the memorials from officials published in the Peking Gazette, it would appear that there are almost constant deficits, which tae governors and high officials of provinces must cover

by extraordinary taxation. The public revenue is mainly derived from three sources namely, custom duties, licences, and a tax upon land, but the receipts from the foreign customs are alone made known. This was in 1895 Tls. 21,385,389.
China had no foreign debt till the end of 1874, when a loan of £627,675, bearing 8 per cent. interest, was contracted through the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, under Imperial authority and secured by the customs' revenue. Afterwards a number of other loans, of comparatively moderate amount, were contracted, mostly through the agency of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, and several of them have been paid off. Up to 1894 the total Foreign debt of China was inconsiderable, but since then extensive borrowings have had to be made to meet the expenses of the war with Japan and the indemnity. The exact figures are not available, but the total existing debt is between £40,000,000 and £42,000,000, including the Russian loan of £10,000,000 con- tracted in 1895 and the Anglo-German loan of the same amount contracted in 1896. As the total indemnity payable to Japan is Tls. 200,000,000 under the Shimonoseki Treaty, with a further Tls. 20,000,000 for the retrocession of the Liaotung Peninsula,
further borrowing will have to be resorted to.
AREA AND POPULATION.
China proper, extending over 73,093 geographical, or 1,534,953 English square miles, is divided into eighteen provinces, the area and population of which are given below:-

The above population, giving 263 souls per square mile throughout China
proper, although partly based on official returns, is not at all reliable. An estimate given by the Board of Revenue of the population in 1887 made it 303,241,969, which is probably much nearer the mark.
The total number of foreigners in China in 1894 was 9,350, of whom 3,989 were subjects of Great Britain, 1,291 of the United States, 807 of France, 767 of Germany, 356 of Sweden and Norway, 206 of Italy, 380 of Spain, 253 of Japan, and 780 Portuguese, almost entirely natives of Macao, all other nationalities being represented by very few members. Of 552 mercantile firms doing business at the treaty ports, 350 were British, 85 German, 31 American, and 32 French.
The principal dependencies of China are Mongolia, with an area of 1,288,035 square miles, and some 2,000,000 people; and Manchuria, with an area of 362,313 square miles, and an estimated population of 15,000,000. The latter is being steadily and rapidly colonised by Chinese, who greatly outnumber the Manchus in their own land. Thibet, which is also practically a dependency of China, has an area of 643,734 square miles and a population of 6,000,000 souls. It is ruled by the Dalai Lama, but subject to the Government of Peking, who maintain a Resident at Lhassa.
ARMY AND NAVY.
The standing military force of China consists of two great divisions, the first formed by the more immediate subjects of the ruling dynasty, the Manchus, and the second by the Chinese and other subject races. The first, the main force upon which the Imperial Government can rely, form the so-called troops of the Eight Banners, and garrison all the
CHINA
93
great cities, but so as to be separated by walls and forts from the population. According to the latest reports, the Imperial army comprises a total of 850,000 men, including 678 companies of Tartar troops, 211 companies of Mongols, and native Chinese infantry, a kind of militia, numbering 120,000 men. The native soldiers do not as a rule live in barracks, but in their own houses, mostly pursuing some civil occupation.
The Chinese navy consisted, prior to the Franco-Chinese war of 1884, mainly of small gunboats built at the Mamoi Arsenal, Foochow, and at Shanghai, on the foreign model, but was afterwards greatly strengthened. Five ships were lost, however, in the battle of the Yalu, when the Japanese inflicted a severe defeat upon the Chinese, and the remainder of the fleet was captured or destroyed at the taking of Weihaiwei in February, 1895.
TRADE AND INDUSTRY.
The ports open to trade are:-Canton, Hoihow (in Hainan), Pakhoi, Swatow, Amoy, Foochow, Wênchow, Ningpo, Shanghai, Chinkiang, Wuhu, Kiukiang, Hankow, Ichang, Chefoo, Tientsin, and Newchwang. The additional ports opened under the Treaty of Shimonoseki are Soochow, Hangchow, Shasi and Chungking. The import trade, exclusive of the Colony of Hongkong, centres chiefly at Shanghai, Canton, and Tientsin, while the bulk of the exports pass through the ports of Shanghai, Hankow, Foochow, and Canton. The annual value of the trade of China coming under the supervision of the Imperial Maritime Customs was as follows:-

The increase in the last nine years is partly accounted for by the Native Customs stations outside Hongkong and Macao having been placed under the Foreign Inspectorate. The trade passing these stations was not formerly included in the returns.
Trade in 1894 and 1895 was adversely effected by various exceptional causes, the further declins in silver owing to the failure of the Indian Government to keep up the artificial price os the rupee, the bubonic plague in Canton and Hongkong in the sum- mer of 1894, a drought in the southern and disturbances in the central provinces, and the war between China and Japan, which continued from June 1894 till April 1895 and resulted in the occupation of Newchwang during 1895 and the cession of Formosa to Japan.
The following was the net value of commodities imported direct from and exported direct to Foreign Countries in 1895. These figures do not include the trade carried on with neighbouring countries in Chinese junks, which does not come within the control of the Foreign Customs:-

CHINA
95
Although China is traversed in all directions by roads, they are usually mere tracks, or at best footpaths, along which the transport of goods is a tedious and difficult undertaking. It was owing to the imperfect means of communication that such a fearful mortality attended the last famines in Shansi, Honan, and Shantung. A vast internal trade is, however, carried on over the roads, and by means of numerous canals and navigable rivers. The most populous part of China is singularly well adapted for the construction of a network of railways, and a first attempt to introduce them into the country was made in 1876, when a line from Shanghai to Woosung, ten miles in length, was constructed by an English company. The little rail- way was subsequently purchased by the Chinese Government and closed by them on the 21st October, 1877. The Kaiping Coal Company's line, at first intended only to carry coal to the Canal bank, has been extended to Tientsin, and is open to passenger traffic. In 1889 Imperial sanction was given to a project for a line from a place some ten miles from Peking to Hankow, but the work has been postponed. An extension of the Tientsin line to Shan-hai-kwan has been completed, and a line from Linsi to Newchwang and thence to Kirin has been sanctioned. A line is now in course of construction from Tientsin to Peking. A telegraph line between Tientsin and Shanghai was opened in December, 1882, and lines now connect all the important cities of the empire.
NEWCHWANG
Newchwang is the most northerly port in China open to foreign trade. It is situated in the province of Shing-king, in Manchuria. It is called by the natives Ying-tz, and lies about thirteen miles from the mouth of the river Liao, which falls into the Gulf of Liao-tung, a continuation of the Gulf of Pechili.
Before the port was opened, comparatively little was known of this part of the Central Kingdom. Manchuria has since, however, been largely colonised by the Chinese, who now outnumber the natives. The word Ying-tz means military station, and that was the only use formerly made of the port. Between the years 1858 and 1860, the British fleet assembled in Ta-lien-wan Bay, and early in 1861 the foreign settlement was established. The town of Newchwang itself is distant from Ying-tz about thirty miles, and is a sparsely populated, uninteresting, and unimportant place.
the
The country about the port of Newchwang is bare and desolate, and in sailing up river a most cheerless prospect greets the traveller's eye. Ying-tz is surrounded by dreary marshes, and the land under cultivation produces principally beans. The river is closed by ice for more than three months every year, during which period the residents are entirely cut off from the outer world. The climate, however, is healthy and bracing. The construction of a railway to connect this port with the province of Kirin has been sanctioned, but the work has not been commenced. The population of the place is estimated at 60,000.
The chief articles of trade at the port are Beans and Bean-cake; 3,736,141 piculs of the former and 2,660,241 piculs of the latter being exported in 1894, as against 3,339,826 piculs and 2,327,214 piculs respectively in 1893. The net quantity of Opium imported in 1894 was 71 piculs, compared with 2,453 piculs in 1879. The import of Opium has of late years shown an almost continuous decline, the poppy being largely and successfully cultivated in Manchuria. The total value of the trade of the port for 1894 amounted to Tls. 16,418,604 as against Tls. 17,659,854 in 1893. For nine months of the year 1895 the port was in the possession of the Japanese and the Customs returns for that year are incomplete.

PEKING
The present capital of China was formerly the Northern capital only, as its name denotes, but it has long been really the metropolis of the Central Kingdom. Peking is situated on a sandy plain 13 miles S. W. of the Pei-ho river, and about 110 miles from its mouth, in latitude 39 deg. 54 min. N. and longitude 116 deg. 27 min. E. or nearly on the parallel of Naples. A canal connects the city with the Pei-ho. Peking is ill adapted by situation to be the capital of a vast Empire, nor is it in a position to become a great manufacturing or industrial centre. The products of all parts of China naturally find their way to the seat of Government, but it gives little save bullion in
return.

PEKING
From Dr. Dennys's description of Peking we quote the following brief historical sketch:--"The city formerly existing on the site of the southern portion of Peking was the capital of the Kingdom of Yan. About 222 B.C., this kingdom was over- thrown by the Chin dynasty and the seat of Government was removed elsewhere. Taken from the Chins by the Khaitans about 936 A.D., it was some two years after- wards made the southern capital of that people. The Kin dynasty subduing the Khaitans, in their turn took possession of the capital, calling it the 'Western Residence.' About A.D. 1151, the fourth sovereign of the Kins transferred the court thither, and named it the Central Residence. In 1215, it was captured by Genghis Khan. In 1264, Kublai Khan fixed his residence there, giving it the title of Chung-tu or Central Residence, the people at large generally calling it Shun t'ien-fu. In 1267 A.D., the city was transferred 3 lí (one mile) to the North of its then site, and it was then called Ta-tu- 'the Great Residence.' The old portion became what is now known as the 'Chinese city' and the terms Northern' and 'Southern' city, or more commonly nei-cheng (within the wall) and wai-cheng (without the wall), came into use. The native Emperors who succeeded the Mongol dynasty did not, however, continue to make Peking the seat of Government. The court was shortly afterwards removed to Nanking, which was considered the chief city of the Empire until, in 1421, Yung Lo, the third Emperor of the Ming dynasty, again held his court at Peking, since which date it has remained the capital of China.
C
The present city of Peking is divided into two portions, the Northern or Tartar city and the Southern or Chinese. The former is being gradually encroached upon by the Chinese, and the purely Manchu section of the capital will soon be very limited. The southern city is almost exclusively occupied by Chinese. The general shape of Peking may be roughly represented by a square placed upon an oblong, the former standing for the Tartar and the latter for the Chinese city. The whole of the capital is, of course, walled. The walls of the Tartar city are the strongest. They average 50 feet in height and 40 feet in width, and are buttressed at intervals of about sixty yards. The parapets are loop-holed and crenelated. They are faced on both sides with brick, the space between being filled with earth and concrete. Each of the gateways is surmounted by a three-storied pagoda. The walls of the Chinese city are about 30 feet in height, 25 feet thick at the base, and 15 feet wide on the terre plein. The total circumference of the walls round the two cities slightly exceeds twenty miles.
The Tartar city consists (Dr. Williams tell us) of three enclosures, one within the other, each surrounded by its own wall. The innermost, called Kin-ching or Prohibited City, contains the Imperial Palace and its surrounding buildings; the second is occupied by the several offices appertaining to the Government and by private residences of officials; while the outer consists of dwelling-houses, with shops in the chief avenues. The Chinese city i the business portion of Peking, but it presents few features of interest to sight-seers, while the enclosure known as the Prohibited City is, as its title denotes, forbidden to all foreign visitors. The numerous temples, the walls, the Imperial Observatory, the Foreign Legations, and the curio shops are the chief attractions to the tourist. The streets of the Chinese metropolis are kept in a most disgraceful condition. In the dry season the pedestrian sinks deep in noxious dust, and in wet weather he is liable to be drowned in the torrents that rush along the thoroughfares, where the constant traffic has worn away the soil. There is an air of decay about Peking which extends even to the finest of the temples. The population of Peking is not accurately known, but according to a Chinese estimate, which is probably slightly in excess, it is 1,300,000, of whom 900,000 reside in the Tartar and 400,000 in the Chinese city. There is no direct foreign trade with Peking, and the small foreign population is made up of the members of the various Legations, the Maritime Customs establishments, the professors of the College of Peking, and the missionary body. In August, 1884, the city was brought into direct telegraphic communication with the rest of the world, by an overland line to Tientsin via Tungchow. A railway line to Tientsin is now in course of construction.

Tientsin is situated at the junction of the Yun Ho or Hwae River, better known as the Grand Canal, with the Pei-ho in Lat. 39 deg. 4 min. N., Long. 117 deg. 3 min. 56 sec. E. It is distant from Peking by road about 80 miles, but the bulk of the enormous traffic between the two cities is by the river Pei Ho as far as Tungchow (13 miles from Peking) and thence by carts and wheelbarrows over the once magnificent but now dilapidated stone causeway. Tientsin was formerly a place of no importance and till recently had few historic associations; till the end of the Ming dynasty (1644 A.D.) it was only a second rate military station, but as the northern terminus of the Grand Canal it gradually assumed commercial importance, and by the end of the seventeenth century had become a great distributing centre. The navigability of the Pei Ho for sea going junks ceases at Tientsin and this made it the emporium for the very large quantities of tribute rice yearly sent up to the capital, after the Grand Canal shoaled up so as to be unfit for carriage in bulk. The expeditions of the allies in 1858-61 greatly enhanced the importance of the city as it then proved to be the military key of the capital and an excellent base. It was here on June 26th, 1858, that Lord Elgin signed the treaty which was to conclude the war but which unhappily led to its indefinite prolongation. The temple in which the treaty was signed is about a mile distant from the West gate, and is now inclosed in a small arsenal (Hai Kwan Tze) and surrounded by factories for the manufacture of small arm ammunition. It is worth a visit if only to see the large bell which, as usual, has an interesting tradition associated with it.
During the long satrapy of Li Hang-chang the trade and importance of the city have developed exceedingly. Li, by the vigour of his rule soon quelled the rowdyism for which the Tientsinese were notorious throughout the empire, and as he made the city his chief residence and the centre of his many experiments in military and naval education, it came to be regarded as the focus of the new learning and national reform. The foreign affairs of China were practically directed from Tientsin during the two decades 1874-94.
The city will ever be infamous to Europeans from the massacre of the French Sisters of Mercy and other foreigners on June 21st, 1870, in which the most appalling
TIENTSIN
103
brutality was exhibited; as usual the political agitators who instigated the riot got off. The ruins of the Roman Catholic Cathedral Church still tower up on a commanding site on the river bank, but the entire mission has been transferred to the French Concession, a mile lower down the river. This was the last outbreak of Chinese fanaticism and mob law in the North foreigners may now traverse the entire native city in perfect safety at all hours with no inconvenience beyond that of verbal insult from the lowest classes. All the missions and many of the foreign hongs have agencies in the city.
The population is reputed to be 950,000, but there is no statistical evidence to justify such large figures. The area of the city is far less than that of the Portsmouth boroughs with their 160,000, and the houses without exception are one storied. The suburbs, however, are very extensive and there is the usual vagueness as to where the town begins and ends. The city walls are quadrate and extend about 4,000 feet in the direction of each cardinal point. The advent of foreigners has caused a great increase in the value of real estate all over Tientsin, and as new industries are introduced every year, the tendency is still upward.
Li Hung-chang authorised Mr. Tong Kin-seng to sink a coal shaft at Tong Shan (60 miles N.E. of Tientsin) in the seventies; this was done and proved the precursor of a railway, which has since been extended to Shan Hai Kwan for military purposes and is now being pushed on towards Peking. About 200 miles are open to goods and passenger traffic. As usual the railway has brought all sorts of foreseen and un- foreseen contingencies with it. Farmers up near Shan Hai Kwan are supplying fruit and vegetablesto Tientsin, coal has come extensively in to Chinese household
1150, whole ship loads of ground-nuts were sent here last year, the foreign residents are developing a first-rate watering place at Pee Ta Ho on the Gulf of Pe-chi-li, and all the various industries of the city have been stimulated. Brick buildings are springing up in all directions and the depressing looking adobe (mud) huts are diminishing.
The Foreigners live in the two Concessions, British and French, which fringe the river below the City and cover an area of less than 200 acres. The Germans in 1895 acquired an extensive concession adjoining and below the British, but have not yet begun to develop it. The Japanese are desirous of acquiring one and measures are in hand to largely extend the existing British Settlement in a direction back from the river. Very extensive building operations are going on throughout the two existing concessions, which have excellent roads, with police, oil-gas lamps, etc., etc. The British Municipality has a handsome Town Hall, completed in 1889 adjoining there is a well kept public garden opened in the year of Jubilee and styled Victoria Park. An excellent recreation ground of ten acres is also being developed, and three miles distant there is a well-formed race course. There are two hotels (the Astor House and Globe), two clubs (Tientsin Club and Concordia, the latter chiefly German), a theatre, an excellent library, three churches (Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Union), and no public-houses.
Distilling is one of the largest local industries; it is chiefly from kowliang (sorghum) or millet. Although a spirit it is called "wine" and is exported to the south in large quantities. The manufacture of coarse unrefined salt by the evaporation of sea water is also carried on near Taku; the produce is stacked along the river bank just below the native city and sometinies gives off very offensive smells, rendering life a burden. The trade in salt is a Government monopoly. Carpets, shoes, glass, coarse earthen ware, and fire-works are also made in large quantities in the city, but Tientsin is essentially a centre for distribution and collection rather than for manufacture. The exports include coal, wool (from Kokonor, Kansuh, etc.), bristles, straw braid, goat skins, and a few furs, wine, etc. The export trade is a recent creation and is largely due to foreign initiative. Wool cleaning and braid and bristle sorting are the chief industries in the foreign hongs except those of the Russians, who are exclusively engaged in the transit of tea. The imports are of the usual miscellaneous nature; tea for the Desert and Siberia, mineral oil, matches, and needles figure next to piece goods. The fine arts are unknown to the Tientsinese except in the shape of cleverly made mud-figures: these are painted and make really admirable statuettes, but are difficult to carry away, being remarkably brittle.
The export coal trade is rapidly expanding, 96,775 tons having been cleared in 1895, while but for the war these figures would have been much larger. The general trade is increasing by leaps and bounds, and no wonder, as Tientsin is practically the only sea outlet for the entire trade of the provinces of Chibli, Shansi, Shensi, Kansuh, and part of Honan, with a population not far short of 100,000,000. The total value of the trade in the years 1893-4-5 was Tls. 38,570,147, Tls. 44,277,050, Tls. 58,668,928; the gross

foreign imports in 1895 being valued at Tls. 23,382,549 and the gross native imports at Tls. 26,065,475. The export trade, which twenty years ago was practically nil, was last year Tls. 9,158,924. The duty collected was Tls. 762,552, an increment of Tls. 13,502 on that of the previous year. Opium tends to a vanishing point, from native competi- tion. The figures for 1893-4-5 are piculs 1,616, 1,462, and 1,281.

TAKU
This village is situated at the mouth of the Pei-ho, on the southern side of the river, about sixty-seven miles from Tientsin. The land is so flat at Taku that it is difficult for a stranger to detect the entrance to the river. There are two anchorages, an outer and inner. The former extends from the Customs Junks to three miles outside the Bar, seaward; the latter from Liang-kia-yuan on the south to the Customs Jetty, Tz'chu-lin, on the north. The village is a poor one, possessing few shops, no buildings of interest except the forts, and the only foreign residents are the Customs employés and some pilots. A railway from the adjoining town of Tungku (two miles river) to Tientsin was completed in 1888.
up the Taku is memorable on account of the engagements that have taken place between its forts and the British and French naval forces. The first attack was made on the 20th May, 1858, by the British squadron under Sir Michael Seymour, when the forts were passed and Lord Elgin proceeded to Tientsin, where on the 26th June he signed the famous Treaty of Tientsin. The second attack, which was fatally unsuccessful, was made by the British forces in June, 1859. The third took place on the 21st August, 1860, when the forts were captured, the booms placed across the river destroyed, and the British ships sailed triumphantly up to Tientsin. The water on the bar ranges from about two to fourteen feet at the Spring tides. At certain states of the tide, steamers are obliged to anchor outside until there is sufficient water to cross.

CHEFOO
;
Chefoo, in the province of Shantung, is the name used by foreigners to denote this Treaty Port; the Chinese name of the place is Yentai, and Chefoo proper is on the opposite side of the harbour. Chefoo is situated in latitude 37° 33′ 20′′ N. and longi- tude 121° 25′ 02′′ E. The port was opened to foreign trade in 1863. The number of foreigners on the books of the various Consulates is about 400, but more than half of them--missionaries-live inland. Chefoo has no Settlement or Concession, but a recognised Foreign Quarter, which is well kept and has good clean roads and is well lighted. A General Purposes Committee looks after the interests of the Foreign Quarter and derives the revenue at its disposal from the sale of stamps at the Local Post Office (started in 1893). The natives are most orderly and civil to foreigners. There are three good hotels, and at least three excellent boarding houses, all of which are full of visitors from July to end of September. The climate is bracing. The winter, which is severe, lasts from the beginning of December to end of March; April, May, and June are lovely months and not hot; July and August are hot and rainy months and September, October, and November form a most perfect autumn, with warm days, cool winds, and cold nights. Strong northerly gales are experienced in the late autumn and through the winter, and the roadstead gives but an uncomfortable, though safe, anchorage for steamers. During the summer and autumn amusements are varied-sea bathing, lawn tennis, picnics, &c. and there is a good club. races take place towards the end of September. Chefoo is two days' journey from Shanghai, and in the summer tourist tickets (Tls. 25)from Shanghai and return are issued by the Indo-China S. N. Co., the China Merchants' S. N. Co., and the China Navigation Co. Since the declaration of war (August, 1894) between China and Japan the port has been much frequented by vessels of the different foreign navies, and its close proximity to Corea will cause these visits to be continued; the result is that Chefoo has become a coaling station, and large stocks of Cardiff coal are kept to supply the foreign men-of-war. During the winter of 1894-95 the port was in a state of excitement owing to the close proximity of, and possible occupation by, the Japanese. Wei-hai-wei, which is

only 40 miles from Chefoo, was attacked in February, 1895, and the forts and most of the Chinese Fleet destroyed by the Japanese, who still hold Liu Kung-tao (the island opposite the mainland) under the terms of the Li-Ito Treaty, which was ratified at Chefoo in May, 1895. In 1876 the Chefoo Convention was concluded at Chefoo by the late Sir Thomas Wade and the former Viceroy of Chihli, Li Hung-chang. The bundling of the Western shore has recently been commenced by the Chinese authorities, and this, when completed, should remove many of the difficulties at present attending upon the shipping business of the port.
The trade of Chefoo, which is increasing, is principally in Beancake and Beans, of which large quantities are annually exported to the southern ports of China. In 1895, the net export of Beancake amounted to 817,675 piculs and of Beans to 132,126 piculs, as against 1,238,132 piculs of the former and 125,001 piculs of the latter in 1894. Silk, Strawbraid, and Vermicelli are the other chief exports. The import of Opium was 454 piouls compared with 3,536 piculs in 1879, the trade having gradually dwindled. The total value of the trade of the port for 1895 was Tls. 18,180,183 and for 1894 Tls. 15,347,853

SHANGHAI
The most northerly of the five ports opened to foreign trade by the British Treaty of Nanking is situate at the extreme south-east corner of the province of Kiang-su, in latitude 31.15 north and longitude 121.29 east of Greenwich, at the junction of the rivers Hwang-po and Woosung (the latter called by foreigners the Soochow Creek), about twelve miles above the village of Woosung, where their united waters debouch into the estuary of the Yangtsze. The soil is alluvial and the country perfectly flat, the nearest eminence that can be called a hill being distant about nineteen miles. The river opposite the city and foreign settlements, once a narrow canal, was, some twenty years ago, 1,800 feet broad at low water, but has been rapidly narrowing till it is now only 1,200 feet. The Soochow Creek, which was, judging by old records, at one time at least three miles across, has now a breadth of less than a hundred yards The average water on the bar at Woosung at high water springs is nineteen feet, the greatest depth of late years being twenty-three feet. The bar is the cause of heavy loss to shipowners and merchants through the detention of ocean steamers. After repeated efforts to induce the Chinese authorities to deepen it, an effort was made to cope with the evil by dredging, but after a few months' work it was found that the experiment must prove ineffective, and in September, 1892, it was abandoned as useless. A sum of Tls. 17,350 was subscribed in 1894 to obtain the opinion of a European expert, but nothing was done up to the close of 1896.
Shanghai-the name means "upper sea" or "near the sea"-is mentioned as existing in 249 B.C. It was a place of some importance in the eleventh century, when it was made a Customs station, and became a hsien or third rate city in the fourteenth century. The walls, which are three and a half miles in circuit, with seven gates, were erected at the time of the Japanese invasion, in the latter part of the sixteenth century. It had been an important seat of trade for many centuries before the incursion of foreigners, and even two thousand years ago was celebrated as the seat of an extensive cotton manu- facturing industry. It was visited in 1832 by Mr. H. H. Lindsay, head of the late firm of Lindsay & Co., and the Rev. Chas. Gutzlaff, in the Lord Amherst, with a view of opening up trade. Mr. Lindsay says he counted upwards of four hundred junks passing inwards every day for seven days and found it possessed commodious wharves and large ware- houses. Three years later it was visited by the Rev. Dr. Medhurst, who confirmed the account given by Mr. Lindsay. On the 13th June, 1842, a British Fleet under Vice- Admiral Sir William Parker, and a military force of 4,000 men under Sir Hugh Gough, captured the Woosung Forts, which mounted 175 guns, and took the city of Paoshun. On the 19th after a slight resistance they gained possession of Shanghai, the officials and a large proportion of the inhabitants having fled the previous evening, although great preparations had been made for the defence, 406 pieces of cannon being taken possession of by the British. The people, however, rapidly returned and business was resumed. The same force afterwards captured Chinkjang and Hankow, when the treaty was arranged, and the ports of Swatow, Amoy, Foochow, Ningpo and Shanghai were opened to trade. The city was evacuated on the 23rd June.
The ground selected by Captain Balfour, the first British Consul, for a Settlement for his nationals, lies about half a mile north of the city walls, between the Yang-king- pang and Soochow Creeks, and extends backward from the river to a ditch connecting the two, called the Defence Creek, thus forming what may be called an island, a mile square. The port was formally declared open to trade on the 17th November, 1843. Some years were occupied in draining and laying out the ground, which was mostly a marsh with numerous ponds and creeks. The foreigners in the meantime lived at Namtao, a suburb between the city and the river, the British Consulate being in the

city. In two years a few houses were built in the Settlement, and by 1849 most foreigners had taken up their residence in it. By that time twenty-five firms were established, and the foreign residents numbered a hundred, including seven ladies. In that year an English Church was built, and on 21st November the foundation of the Roman Catholic Cathedral at Tongkadoo was laid. The French were in 1849 granted the ground between the city walls and the British Concession on the same terms, and, in exchange for help rendered in driving out the rebels who had seized the city in 1853, got a grant of the land extending for about a mile to the south between the city walls and the river. They have since by purchase extended the bounds of the Concession west- ward to the "Ningpo Joss house," a mile from the river. Later on the Americans rented land immediately north of Soochow Creek, in the district called Hongkew, so that the ground now occupied by foreigners extends for about four miles on the left bank of the river. The land in the British Settlement was assessed in 1890 at Tls. 12,397,810, and that in Hongkew at Tls. 4,806,448; in 1882, at Tls. 10,340,650 and Tis. 3,550,660, and in 1880 at Tls. 6,118,265 and Tls. 1,945,325 respectively, an advance since 1880 of one hundred and thirteen per cent. A great rise in values took place during the later months of 1895 and continued rising during last year, chiefly caused by the influx of native capital, seeking safe investment under foreign protection. The rental assessment in 1895 of foreign houses in the British Settlement was Tls. 448,048 and in Hongkew Tls. 224,170, and that of native houses Tls. 1,384,167 in the former and Tls. 650,754 in the latter, a total annual rental assessment of house property of Tls. 2,707,139. The assessed value of land in the French Concession was Tls. 3,309,684 in 1895; the rental assessment of foreign houses Tls. 65,000 and of native houses Tls. 405,000. Chamber of Commerce in 1882 valued the land in the three Settlements at Tls. 24,355,000 and the merchandise in stock at Tls. 32,645,000, together equal to fourteen and a quarter millions sterling. Both have been greatly increased in value since that date and the boundaries of Hongkew have been enlarged. The British and French Concessions are now practically all built over, and the vacant spaces in Hongkew are being rapidly covered. A petition has now been sent to Peking praying for a greatly enlarged boundary for the Settlement. Most of the land along the outside roads, and at Pootung on the opposite bank of the river, is now also rented by foreigners, but natives have recently been considerable purchasers of landed property within the Settlements. All ground belongs nominally to the Emperor of China, but is rented in perpetuity, a tax of fifteen hundred copper cash, equal to about a dollar and a quarter per mow, being paid to the Government annually. It was bought from the original proprietors at about $50 per mow, which was at least twice its then value. Some lots have since been sold at $10,000 to $16,000 a mow. About six mow equal one acre.
The
The approach by sea to Shanghai is now well lighted and buoyed, and the dangers of the ever shifting banks and shoals as well guarded as can be expected. Under the superintendence of the Engineering department of the Customs, lighthouses have been erected on West Volcano, Showeishan, North Saddle, Gutzlaff, Bonham, and Steep Islands, and at Woosung. There are also two lightships in the Yangtsze below. Woosung.
As a port for foreign trade Shanghai grew but gradually until it gained a great impetus by the opening in 1861 of the Yangtsze and Northern ports, secured by the Treaty of Tientsin, and a further increase by the opening up of Japan. In March 1848, owing to an assault on some missionaries near Shanghai, Mr. Alcock, then Consul, blockaded the port and stopped the passage outwards of eleven hundred grain junks. After sending a man-of-war to Nanking the matter was arranged. The first event of importance since the advent of foreigners was the taking of the city by the Triad rebels on 7th September, 1853, who held it for seventeen months, although repeatedly besieged and attacked by the Imperialists. This caused a large number of refugees to seek shelter within the foreign Settlements, and the price of land rose very considerably. At that time a Volunteer force was formed among the foreign residents, under the command of Captain, afterwards Sir Thomas, Wade, which did really good service. The battle of "Muddy Flat" was fought on 4th April, 1854, when the Volunteers, in conjunction with the Naval forces, consisting in all of 300 men with one field piece, drove the Imperialists, numbering 10,000 men, from the neighbourhood of the Settlements and burned their camps. Two of the Volunteers and one American were killed, and ten men wounded. Owing to the occupation of the city the authorities were powerless to collect the duties, which for a short time were not paid, and it was in consequence agreed in July 1854 between the Taotai and the three Consuls (British, French, and United States), that they should be collected under foreign control. This was found to work so much to the advantage of the Chinese Government that the system was extended, subsequently to the Treaty of Tientsin, to all the open ports. The Foreign Inspectorate of Customs was established
120
SHANGHAI
in 1861, the head-quarters of which were for some years, and according to the original regulations ought still to be, at Shanghai. In 1861 the Taipings approached Shanghai, occupied the buildings of the Jesuits at Sicawei, and threatened the city and settle- ments. The taking of Soochow on 25th May, 1860, had driven a large number of the inhabitants of that city and the surrounding districts to Shanghai for protection, so that the native population increased rapidly. It was variously estimated at from four hundred thousand to a million, but the smaller number is probably nearer the truth. So immensely did the price of land rise that it is stated ground which had originally cost foreigners fifty pounds per acre was sold for ten thousand pounds. At this time the old Race Course and Cricket Ground was sold at such an enormous profit that after the share- holders had been repaid the original cost there was a balance of some forty-five thousand tacls, which the owners generously devoted to the foundation of a fund for the use of the public, to be applied to the purposes of recreation only. Unfortunately thirty thousand taels of this amount was lent by the treasurer on his own responsibility to the Club, in which institution he was a shareholder. As the shareholders were never able to repay this loan out of the profits on the Club, the building and furniture were taken over in 1869 by the trustees on behalf of the Recreation Fund, to which the building still belongs. This fund has proved very useful in rendering assistance to some other public institutions, besides having purchased all the ground in the interior of the Race Course, which is now leased by the Municipality and, with the exception of the steeplechase course, set aside as apublic recreation ground. By 1861 provisions had increased in price to four times what they had been some years previously. Efforts were made to keep the rebels at a distance from Shanghai; a detachment of British Royal Marines and an Indian Regiment garrisoned the walls, while the gates on the side towards the French Settlement were guarded by French Marines. In August, 1861, the city was attacked, and the suburbs between the city walls and river were in consequence destroyed by the French, the rebels being ultimately driven back. In December the rebels to the number of one hundred thousand again threatened the Settlements. The approaches were barricaded and the Defence Creek constructed and fortified at an expense of forty-five thousand taels. Before the close of 1862 the rebels had been driven by the British Forces beyond a radius of thirty miles around Shanghai.
At the time the local native Authorities were severely pressed they availed themselves of the services of an American adventurer named Ward, who raised a band of deserters from foreign ships and rowdies of all nations who had congregated at Shanghai, with whose help he drilled a regiment of natives. After Ward was killed the force passed under the command of another low caste American of the name of Burge- vine, who subsequently transferred his services to the rebels. The Imperial Authorities finding it impossible to control these raw and undisciplined levies, at their earnest request Admiral Sir James Hope consented to the appointment of Major, afterwards General, Gordon, R.E., to the command. Having by him been made amenable to disci- pline, this force now rendered the greatest service in the suppression of the rebellion; in- deed it is generally believed that the Taipings would never have been overcome but for the assistance of "The Ever Victorious Army," as this hastily raised band was named. Amongst other services they regained possession of the important city of Soochow on 27th November, 1863, which virtually ended the rebellion. There is, however, much room for doubt as to the wisdom of foreigners aiding in its suppression, many of those best capable of judging being of opinion that the civilization of the empire would have had a much better chance of progressing had the decaying dynasty been overthrown. Certainly European nations, merely in exchange for the promise of neutrality, might have made almost any terms. A monument in memory of the officers who fell stands at the north end of the Bund. From 1860 to 1866 one British and two Indian Regiments and a battery of Artillery were stationed at Shanghai.
Since that time there have been few historical events worthy of record in a brief summary. On Christmas eve, 1870, the British Consulate was burned down and most of the records completely lost. In May, 1874, a riot occurred in the French Settlement, owing to the intention of the Municipal Council to make a road through an old graveyard belonging to the Ningpo Guild. One or two Europeans were severely injured, and eight natives lost their lives. A considerable amount of foreign owned property was destroyed. An extensive fire in the French Concession in August, 1879, destroyed 221 houses; the loss was estimated at Tls. 1,500,000. The foreign Settlements celebrated their Jubilee on 17th and 18th November, 1893, when, it is estimated, 500,000 strangers visited Shanghai. A medal was struck as a memorial of the occasion.
As at all the open ports foreigners are in judicial matters subject to the immediate control of their Consuls, British subjects coming under the jurisdiction of the Supreme
SHANGHAI
121
Court, which was opened in September, 1865. Subjects of Her Britannic Majesty have to pay a poll tax of two dollars, for which they have the privilege of being registered at the Consulate, and heard as plaintiffs before the Court. There is enforced registration at several of the other Consulates, but it is free of charge. Chinese residents in the Foreign Settlements are amenable to their own laws, administered by a so-called Mixed Court, which was established at the instigation of Sir Harry Parkes in 1864, and originally sat at the British Consulate. It is presided over by an official of the rank of Tung-chi. The cases are watched by foreign assessors from the different Consulates. The working of the Court, especially in regard to civil suits, is far from satisfactory, as the judge has not sufficient power to enforce his decisions. The matter has for some years been suppose to be engaging the attention of the authorities at Peking. For the French Concession there is a separate Mixed Court, which sits at the French Consulate. There is a Court of Consuls which was established in 1870, the judges of which are elected by the Consuls annually, its purpose being to enable the Municipal Council to be sued.
In local affairs the residents govern themselves by means of Municipal Councils, under the authority of the "Land Regulations." These were originally drawn up by H.B.M. Consul in 1845, but have since undergone various amendments. In 1854 the first general Land Regulations-the city charter, as they may be called-were arranged between the British Consul, Captain Balfour, and the local authorities, by which persons of all foreign nationalities were allowed to rent land within the defined limits, and in 1863 the so-called "American Settlement" was amalgamated with the British into one Municipality. The "Committee of Roads and Jetties," originally consisting of "three upright British Merchants" appointed by the British Consul, became in 1855 the Municipal Council," elected by the renters of land, and when the revised Land Regulations came into force in 1870, the "Council for the Foreign Community of Shanghai North of the Yang-king-pang," elected in January of each year by all householders who pay rates on an assessed rental of five hundred taels and owners of land valued at five hundred taels and over. The Council now consists of nine members of various nationalities, who elect their own chairman and vice-chairman, and who give their services free. A committee of residents was appointed in November, 1879, to revise the present regulations, and their work was considered and passed by the ratepayers in May, 1881. Many important improvements have been proposed, but they have yet to receive the sanction of the various governments. The "co-operative policy," under which a voice is given to small powers having practically no interests in China, equal to that given to Great Britain, has caused a delay of fifteen years. The Ministers at Peking have suggested some radical alterations, but these are so opposed to the necessities of the city that the residents for their own preservation are bound to offer a strenuous resistance, and from that cause and owing to the changes which have taken place since 1881 it is probable that the Regulations will have to be again revised and will not come into force for some time. At the time of the Taiping rebellion it was proposed by the Defence Committee, with the almost unanimous consent of the landrenters and residents, to make the Settlenients and City with the district around a free city, under the pro- tection of the Treaty Powers. Had this proposal, which was thoroughly justifiable owing to the Imperial Government having lostall power in the provinces, been carried out, Shanghai would have become the chief city in China, and it is safe to say would have acted as a leaven, to the ultimate immense benefit of the whole Empire. A separate Council for the French Concession was appointed in 1862, and now works under the "Réglement d'Organisation Municipale de la Concession Française," passed in 1868. It consists of four French and four foreign members, elected for two years, half of whom retire annually. Their resolutions are inoperative until sanctioned by the Consul- General. They are elected by all owners of land on the Concession, or occupants paying a rental of a thousand francs per annum, or residents with an annual income of four thousand francs. This, it will be noticed, approaches much more nearly to "universal suffrage" than the franchise of the other Settlements, which, however, will be considerably reduced should the new Regulations ever become law. The qualification for councillors north of the Yang-king-pang is the payment of rates to the amount of fifty taels annually, or being a householder paying rates on an assessed rental of twelve hundred taels. For the French Concession the requirement is a monetary one of about the same amount. Several efforts have been made to amalgamate the French with the other Settlements, but hitherto without success. A revision of the Réglements for the French Concession has for some time been under consideration. Meetings of ratepayers are held in February of each year, at which the budgets are voted and the new Councils instructed as to the policy they are to pursue. No important measure is undertaken
122
SHANGHAI
without being referred to a special meeting of ratepayers. The Council divides itself into Defence, Finance, Watch, and Works Committee. This cosmopolitan system of government has for many years worked so well and so cheaply that Shanghai has fairly earned for itself the name of "The Model Settlement."

The Foreign population increased rapidly up to 1865, but declined considerably during the next ten years. The census of 1865 gave the number of foreign residents in the three Settlements as 2,757, army and navy (British) 1,851, shipping 981, a total of 5,589. In 1870 the total in the Anglo-American Settlement was 1,666; in 1876, 1,673; in 1880, 2,197; in 1885, 3,673; in 1890, 3,821. By the census of 24th June, 1895, there were in the Settlements north of the Yang-king-pang a total of 4,684 foreigners; 1,295 in the English division, 2,903 in Hongkew, 486 in outside roads and Pootung. Of these 2,068 were males, 1,227 females, and 1,489 children, against 1,086 males, 296 females, and 291 children in 1876; and 1,775 males, 1,011 females and 887 children, in 1885. The fluctua- tions in the foreign population have been very remarkable. Between 1870 and 1880 the number of adult males decreased, while in the next five years it increased by over fifty per cent. In the nine years 1876 to 1885 the whole foreign population more than doubled, but in the next five years it showed an increase of only 148, of whom 144 were children. The increase has been greatest in Hongkew, where the population is five times what it was in 1876, whereas that of the British Settlement is less than in 1885. The foreign population of the French Concession on the same date was 190 males, 78 females, and 162 children, a total of 430 against 444 in 1890. A curious fact is that of children under, fifteen only 26 were males while 136 were females. The proportion of different nationalities in all the settlements was in 1895, 2,002 British, 7-41 Portuguese, 357 American, 399 German and Austrian, 281 French, 154 Spanish, 89 Danish, 88 Italian, 82 Swedish and Norwegian, 31 Russian, 111 of various other European nationalities, 322 Eurasians, 268 Japanese, 127 Indians, and 62 Manilamen and other Asiatics. While the adult Foreign male population has increased only 61 per cent. since the census of 1870, the number of women has been multiplied six and of children nine times. These figures do not include the population afloat, which at the date of the census was 1,306 against 1,009 in 1890 and 893 in 1885. Although the Chinese have no right of residence within the Foreign Settlement, and indeed were expressly prohibited by the original Land Regulations, some twenty thousand sought refuge within the boundaries from the rebels in 1854, and when the city was besieged by the Taipings in 1860 there were, it is said, at least four hundred thousand natives within the Settlements. As they found some amenities from "squeezing" when under the protection of foreigners, and foreigners themselves being able to obtain a much higher rental for their land, and finding native house property a very profitable investment, no opposition was made to their residence. In 1870 there were in the three Settlements 75,047; in 1880, 107,812; in 1890, 168,129. The numbers by the last census (June, 1895) were, in the British Settlement 116,204, in Hongkew 103,102, in Foreign Hongs in both Settlements 6,991, villages and huts within the limits 8,429, in shipping and boats 6,269, total 240,995; an increase of 433 per cent. in five years. The native population. of the French Concession on the same date was 45,758, against 34,722 in 1890, and the boat population about 6,000; say a total for the three Settlements and afloat of about 293,000, more than half of whom are adult males. The majority are immigrants from other provinces who followed in the wake of foreigners. The population of the native city is supposed to be about 125,000. The large congregation of natives in the Settlements is kept in admirable order by a Police force of 54 Europeans, 69 Indians, and 379 natives for the north of the Yang-king-pang, and 40 foreigners and 71 natives for the French Concession, or about one constable for every 600 inhabitants. As the natives have to be tried by their own authorities, and bribery doubtless works its effects in Shanghai as elsewhere in China, the difficulties of organizing and efficiently working such a small force are considerable. In few places are life and property more secure.
The climate of Shanghai is generally allowed to be fairly healthy. The death rate amongst foreigners ashore and afloat during the past seventeen years has ranged from 17.2 per thousand (in 1884) to 30.8 per thousand (in 1881). The rate in 1895, calculated on the basis of the census taken in June of that year was 19.3 per thousand. It was given as 23.5 in 1894 and 18.4 in 1893, but these figures are too high, having been based on the population in 1890. Partial outbreaks of cholera have occurred at intervals, but a large proportion of the cases were among the ships in harbour. The highest recorded number of deaths from this cause among foreigners was 32, in 1890. Of these, 18 were amongst residents. In 1891, 92, and '93 there were no deaths from cholera among foreign residents, but it reappeared in 1895 when 20 deaths were recorded, of which 11 were those of residents. On the basis of the shore population the death rate was 15.6 per thousand in 1895, and has varied, so far as can be estimated in the absence of an annual census, from 23 per 1,000 in 1891 to 14.2 per 1,000 in 1884, a rate which compares favourably with that of large towns in Europe. The Health Officer in a late report says that "out of the seventy-five deaths registered, there were but nine

which can in any sense be termed climatic." The Chinese authorities reported 4,053 deaths amongst the natives in the "Anglo-American Settlement" in 1895, which would make the rate 16.8 per thousand, but that is no doubt considerably under the real proportion: 928 of these deaths were registered as from cholera and 138 from small-pox. The thermometer ranges from 25 deg. to 100 deg. Fahrenheit, the mean of eight years having been 59.2 deg.; winter being 39.1, spring 50.9, summer 78.2, and autumn 62.6. Shanghai approaches nearest to Rome in mean temperature, while the winter temperature of London and Shanghai are almost identical. In October and November there is generally dry, clear, and delightful weather, equal to that found in any part of the world; but when the winter has fairly set in the north-east winds are extremely cold and biting. On January 17th, 1878, the river was frozen over at Woosung. The heat in the summer is sometimes excessive, but generally lasts only a few days at a time. In late years very severe gales have become more frequent. The annual average of rainy days in Shanghai during eight years was 124, the annual rainfall 32.464 inches; 55 wet days occurred in winter, and 69 in summer; the heaviest shower was on the 24th October, 1875, when 7 inches fell in 33 hours. Earthquakes occasionally occur, but have not been known to inflict any serious injury.
The streets of the English and French Settlements all run north and south and east and west, mostly for the whole length of both settlements, crossing each other at right angles. They were when first laid out 22 feet wide, but have since at very great expense been mostly made much wider. Notwithstanding the soft nature of the soil they are now kept in remarkably good order, at least those near the river, the district chiefly occupied by Europeans. Owing to the nature of the ground, expensive piling or concrete foundations are necessary before any foreign buildings can be erected, and all stone has to be brought from a long distance. The Soochow Creek, between the English Settlement and Hongkew, is now crossed by six bridges, three of which are adapted for carriage traffic, and the French is connected with the other Settlement by eight bridges. There are several good driving roads extending into the country, two leading to Sicawei, a distance of about six miles, and one to Jessfield by the banks of the Soochow Creek, for about seven miles. Another broad road, more recently con- structed, runs by the side of the river for six miles. It is intended ultimately to extend it to Woosung. Several other roads have been proposed, but although foreigners are prepared to pay high prices for the land the opposition of the officials has hitherto prevented their construction. At the time the Taipings approached Shanghai some roads for the passage of artillery were made by the British military authorities at the expense of the Chinese Government, one of them extending for seventeen miles into the country; but, excepting those close to the settlement, they have now been turned into ploughed fields. An inland carriage road to Woosung, made at the expense of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co. and others, has now also been reduced, to a narrow footpath. The foreshore in front of the settlement has been raised, turfed and planted with shrubs. The trees planted some years ago having now attained a good height, and several more imposing buildings having been completed, the English and French Bunds form as magnificent a boulevard as any in the East.
Many foreign houses, nearly all of them with several mow of garden ground, have been erected near the outside roads, especially on that leading to the Bubbling Well, which is the main outlet from the settlement, and from which most of the other roads branch off. This road and its extension to Sicawei is planted with trees on both sides, forming a fine avenue of over five miles in length. A small but well laid out and admirably kept Public Garden was formed about 1868 on land recovered from the river in front of the British Consulate. It is now proposed to considerably extend its area by reclaiming the foreshore. A general Public Garden, eight now in extent, by the bank of the Soochow Creek was opened in December, 1890.
Immense sums have been wasted in various attempts to drain the settlements, principally from the want of skilled direction; but the great difficulties in this matter, arising from the low lying and level nature of the ground, have now been fairly overcome. The settlements are well provided with telegraphic fire alarms. The desire of the Municipal Councils to keep the monopoly in their own hands retarded for many years the inauguration of water works, but a public company is now established, which furnishes a continuous supply of filtered water at moderate rates. The electric light was introduced in 1882, and lamps have been erected on the principal thoroughfares and wharves. In 1893 the Municipality purchased the property and business of the Electric Company.
Shanghai can boast of several fine buildings of various and varied stylees of architecture. Trinity Cathedral, erected from a design by Sir Gilbert Scott, is one of
SHANGHAI
125
the finest specimens of modern ecclesiastical architecture to be found out of Europe. The foundation stone was laid on 16th May, 1866, and the Church was opened for public worship on 1st August, 1869. It is Gothic of the thirteenth century, 152 feet fong, 58 feet wide, and 54 feet from the floor to the apex of the nave. The structure was not completed, however, until 1892, when the spire was erected, the cross being placed on the top on the 4th October of that year. It attains a total height of 160 feet, and, like the body of the edifice, is built of red brick, with stone dressings. The founda- tion of the spire was laid by the Bishop of Mid-China on the 19th August, 1891. There is a fine Roman Catholic Church in the French Concession called St. Joseph's, built in 1862, and another in Hongkew known as the Church of the Sacred Heart. There are also the Union Church on the Soochow Creek, a Chapel belonging to the London Mission and one to the American Episcopalians, and a very pretty and prettily situated Seamen's Church at Pootung, besides several Mission Chapels for natives. The Jesuit Fathers have an extensive mission establishment and orphanages at Sicawei, where a mission has existed for over a hundred years. The present Church was built in 1851. To the mission is attached a museum of natural history, etc., and a valuable scientific observatory. In connection with the latter there is a time-ball on the French Bund. Under the direc- tion of this institution, a complete system of meteorological observations, embracing the whole of the China Seas, is now carried out. The Shanghai Club occupies a large and elaborate building at one end of the English Bund. It cost Tls. 120,000, and at that is said to have ruined three contractors. It was opened in 1864 and has passed through a varied and peculiar history. The present buildings of the British Consulate and Supreme Court at the other end of the Bund were opened in 1873. Near to them there is a really fine Masonic Hall. Amongst the other conspicuous buildings may be mentioned those occupied by the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, and the Chartered Bank of India. The Lyceum Theatre, situate in Museum Road, is a fair building seating 700 persons, opened in January, 1874. The members of the German (Concordia) Club have also a handsome little Theatre attached to their premises in the Canton Road. A new Custom House was completed in 1893 on the site of the old building on the Bund. It is in the Tudor style, of red brick with facings of green Ningpo stone, and has high pitched roofs covered with red French tiles. The buildings have a frontage on the Bund of 135 feet and on the Hankow Road of 155 feet. In the centre of the main building a clock tower rises to a height of 110 feet, and divides the structure into two wings. The elevation is a very handsome one, and the new building adds an imposing feature to the Bund. Å monument to the memory of Mr. A. R. Margary, of the British Consular service, who was murdered by Chinese in Yunnan, was unveiled in June, 1880, and a statue of the late Sir Harry Parkes, British Minister to Peking, was erected in 1890. The principal buildings on the French Concession are the Municipal Hall and the Con- sulate. A bronze statue of Admiral Protet, who was killed when directing an attack on Nan-yao on 17th May, 1862, stands in front of the Municipal Hall.
Among the institutions of the place may be mentioned the Volunteer Defence Force, consisting of Field Artillery, Light Horse, Engineers and Rifle Brigade, the latter, comprising a battalion of five companies. Originally formed in 1861 it gradually went to decay, until the fear of attack after the Massacre at Tientsin in 1870 caused its revival with considerable vigour. It again dwindled in numbers, but the last re-organisation under Major Holliday proved successful, there being now three hundred and nine members, almost all of whom are effective. This is exclusive of the Home Guard and Band. The infantry is armed with the Lee-Metford rifle. The Fire Brigade, which is entirely volunteer, consists of seven Engine and two Hook and Ladder Companies. It is pronounced to be the most efficient Brigade out of the United States. There is a Hospital for foreigners, the building for which, although only completed in 1877, is already found inadequate and so badly situated that a new one is proposed. There are also several Hospitals for natives. The other public institutions may be enumerated as, a Subscription Library containing about 14,000 volumes, a branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, with the nucleus of a Museum, a Masonic Club, a Sailors' Home, a Polytechnic Institution for Chinese, a Seamen's Library and Museum, a well supplied Gymna- sium, a Wind Instrument Band, paid by the Municipality, which gives concerts in the Public Gardens every day during the summer months, a Race Club, possessing a course of a mile and a quarter, a Country Club on the Bubbling Well Road, Parsee, Portuguese, and Customs Clubs, also Pony Paper Hunt, Cricket, Rifle, Yacht, Racquet, Golf, and various other Clubs for recreation. There are ten or eleven Masonic bodies, with over 500 members. In 1876 a District Grand Lodge for North China was constituted, with Shanghai as its head-quarters.

SHANGHAI
There are four Docks at Shanghai, the one at Tungkadoo, opposite the city, having a length of 380 feet over all, with a depth at spring tides of 21 feet; the Old Dock at Hongkew is 400 feet long and 18 feet deep at springs; and the New Dock at Pootung, at the lower end of the harbour, measures 450 feet on the blocks, with a depth at high water springs of about 21 feet. A public company was formed last year to build another dock. All steamers and most sailing vessels now discharge and load at the various public and private wharves. The premises of the Associated Wharf Companies have a frontage of about three-quarters of a mile. The Chinese Government has an Arsenal, Dock, and shipbuilding establishment at Kaou Chung Mow, a short distance above the city. It commenced as a small rifle factory in 1867. The Great Northern Telegraph Company's cable was laid to Shanghai in 1871, and that of the Eastern Extension Company in 1884, there being now three distinct lines of communication with Europe. An overland line to Tientsin was opened in December, 1881, subsequently extended to Peking, and in 1894 connected with the Russian land lines through Siberia to Europe. There is also a line west to Hankow and south as far as Lungchow, on the Kwangsi border. A railway constructed by a foreign company was opened to Woosung in June, 1876, but after running for sixteen months it was purchased and taken up by the Chinese Authorities. During the short time it was running the passenger traffic alone covered the working expenses, leaving sufficient profit to pay a small dividend. Towards the close of 1895 consent was given by the Throne for the construction by the provincial authorities of a line of railway from Shanghai to Soochow, a distance of about eighty miles. When completed it is to be extended to Chinkiang and Nanking. A scheme for Tramways in the settlements was sanctioned some years ago, but they have not yet been commenced. There are four locally owned lines of steamers running on the coast and the river Yangtsze. Several manufactories under both native and foreign auspices have sprung up of late years, and would have done so in large numbers long ago had it not been that the native authorities offered strong opposition to any manufactures under the control of foreigners and prevented the importation of foreign machinery. Although the right under the Treaty to import machinery is quite clear, the British Government hesitated to enforce it, but the Japanese, in the treaty of 1895 which closed the war, obtained the insertion of a clause specially authorising its importation. The consequence is that the Mill-owners Union of Japan intend to build a mill of 50,000 spindles at Shanghai, and four companies have been floated, one under the auspices of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., one under those of the American Trading Company, one under the management of Messrs. Ilbert & Co. and one by Messrs. Arnhold, Karberg & Co., to build mills of 40,000 or more spindles each. It is understood that other mills, to be under the control of foreigners, are being projected. But cotton manufacture has already made great strides in Shanghai, and with the number of mills working and the still larger number in course of construction, the place is rapidly assuming the appearance of a thriving district in Lancashire. The most extensive of these establishments is the magnificent mill of the Shanghai Cotton Cloth Administration on Yangtszepoo road, which was completed early in 1895 on the site of the former building, destroyed by fire in October, 1893. The new building is considerably larger than the old one, and contains 35,000 spindles, provision being made for largely increasing the number. It is owned chiefly by officials. Another mill, in which there are to be 20,000 spindles, has been planned for a Chinese syndicate on Yangtszepoo road, and it is intended to build another a little further up the road, which will also contain 20,000 spindles. Mr. Tong's ginning mill beside the Waterworks contains 100 Japanese gins. The cotton treated is used chiefly in the Chinese New Cotton Spinning Mills, an establish- ment containing 20,000 spindles. At the Kwong Tuk-chong ginning mill, near the Rifle Butts, there are 17 Japanese gins producing 90 piculs of cotton per day, which is all shipped to Osaka. On the Pootung side of the river there is the Footung Cotton Cleaning and Working Company's mill, containing 32 McCarthy gins, with four openers. The cotton turned out of this establishment is also sent to Japan. Then there is Messrs. Mackenzie & Co.'s ginning mill in Amoy road, with 60 Japanese gins, producing 90 piculs of clean cotton per day, which is sent away to Japan. The same firm runs another large ginning mill on the Soochow Creek, while the owners of the Kwong Tuk-chong mill have also an extensive establishment of the same kind on the Creek. On Alpha Farm a Chinese company is erecting a large spinning mill, which is to contain 20,000 spindles, and on the other side of the Creek a ginning mill, with 72 Japanese gins. A little below the Sing-chang Filature on the north side of the Creek a cotton ginning mill is to be erected by Chinese. It is to contain 72 gins

of the McCarthy pattern, but manufactured in Shanghai. The silk filatures are twenty- five in number with 8,040 spindles. The export in 1895 was 6,276 bales of one picul (133 lbs.) each, which it was expected would be doubled in 1896. The Hing Chong Silk Filature at Jessfield consists of 300 basins. It is intended to increase the concern until there are 900 basins working. Then there is the extensive filature belonging to Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., at Sinza, at which 400 basins are worked. Messrs. Bavier & Co. work a filature on the Soochow Creek, in which there are 150 basins. On the opposite side of the Creek there is a very extensive establishment known as the Sing-chang Filature, which is the property of the Shanghai Silk Filature Co., Limited. There are 500 basins in this factory. The Shanghai Silk Filature Company own also a large factory in Lee Hongkew, contain- ing 500 basins. Another large filature on the Soochow Creek is owned by a Chinese company called Chung-kee, who have also started a factory of a similar kind in the extensive building lately occupied by the Empire Brewery in Yangtszepoo road. Messrs. Lintilhac & Co. own a large filature on the Soochow Creek, while Ching Chong has a similar establishment in North Fohkien road, in which there are 300 basins. In addition to these factories, Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co. have a large waste-silk filature on Yangtszepoo road. There are also a paper mill, match factories, chemical and soap works, and various other industries, which are fast increasing in number. Shanghai bids fair to soon outrival Bombay as the largest manufacturing centre in Asia.
The "Astor House" in Hongkew, the "Central" in the British, and the "Hôtel des Colonies" in the French Concession, besides many second class inns, give hotel accom- modation equal to that of any port in the East. There are five daily newspapers, the North China Daily News and Shanghai Daily Press, morning, the Shanghai Mercury, the China Gazette, and the Shanghai Times, evening; also three weeklies, the North China Herald, Celestial Empire, and The Union. There are three native daily papers, the Shun-pao, the Hu-pao, and the Sin-wan-pao. These are sold at the prices of ten and eight cash, equal to a farthing and have a very large circulation.
In one matter, that of Postal accommodation, Shanghai is perhaps over-supplied, there being British, French, American, Japanese, German, Local, and Customs Post-offices. Shanghai was made a port of Registry for British ships in 1874. All foreign hongs and even private houses have to give themselves fancy Chinese names, by which only they are known to the natives. The system is, however, found to have its conveniences. No less than 3,248 jinrickshas, 3,563 passenger wheelbarrows, and 470 horse carriages ply for hire in the Settlements, besides large numbers outside.
The currency of Shanghai is the tael weight (equal to one and a third ounces avoirdupois) of silver cast into "shoes" of fifty taels, more or less. The foreign banks issue notes of the value of one dollar and upwards for both taels and dollars. Smaller transactions are conducted in clean Mexican dollars and copper cash. There are seven foreign and numerous native banks in the Settlement.
Shanghai is the great emporium for the trade of the Yangtsze and northern ports, and to a considerable extent for Japan and Corea. The export of Tea from 1846 to 1850 averaged sixteen million pounds, and Silk during the same period seventeen thousand bales. The total import and export trade of 1868 was sixty-five million taels.
It steadily increased each year until 1881, when it reached Hk. Tls. 141,921,357, but afterwards showed a great decline, the total for 1884 having been twenty per cent. less than that of 1881. It has since, however, shown a rapid recovery, the total trade in foreign bottoms, import and export, for the last six years, as given by the Customs Statistical Department, being :-

The value of foreign Opium imported in 1893, 1894, and 1895 was, owing to the fall in exchange on India, much over that of 1892, but the quantity in 1893 was 5,775 piculs less, in 1894 only 551 piculs more, and in 1895 was 31,589 piculs or 4,274 less than in 1892, while for several years previously there had been a falling off, owing to increased production of and demand for native opium, the quality of which is now much superior to formerly and the taxes very much lighter than on the foreign drug. The import of foreign opium in 1881 was 51,522 piculs. The import of native
128
SHANGHAI
opium in 1894 totalled 5,046 piculs, or more than twice, and in 1895 reached 10,413 piculs or more than four times that of 1893. An export of the native growth to foreign countries has now commenced. Owing to the increased silver cost the import of Cotton Goods and Yarn, which for several years had shown an annual increase in quantity of over 25 per cent., fell greatly in 1893, but the value in 1894 was 20 per cent. over that of 1893 and there was a further increase of 5 per cent. in 1895. Woollens increased by 36 per cent. in value in 1891, with a further increase of about 7 per cent. in 1892, but declined 3 per cent. in 1893, and 25 per cent. in 1894 rising again by 9 per cent. in 1895. Metals imported increased by 10 per cent. in value in 1891, remained about stationary in 1892 and 1893, increased 11 per cent. in 1894, but declined 5 per cent. in 1895. The import of Kerosine Oil was 35,179,205 gallons in 1891, 21,027,848 gallons in 1892, 28,751,050 gallons in 1893, 43,314,254 in 1894, but fell to 29,716,480 in 1895, American having declined to less than half of the import in 1894, namely from 36 to 16 million gallons, while Russian case oil increased from 4 to 7.85 and Russian tank oil from 3 to 5.85 million gallons. The importation of Sugar was 247,894 piculs in 1892, 1,137,353 in 1893, 1,284,414 in 1894, and 1,083,257 piculs in 1895; of this 488,353 was refined, almost entirely from Hongkong. The value of machinery imported in 1892 was Tls. 231,937, in 1893 Tls. 651,453, in 1894 Tls. 1,029,670, in 1895 Tls. 1,674,288, and the returns for 1896 are expected to show a further large increase. Trade in 1894 and 1895 was seriously hampered from various exceptional causes, referred to under the heading of China.

SOOCHOW
Soochow, the capital of the province of Kiangsu, lies about seventy miles west and a little north of Shanghai, with which it is connected by excellent inland water- ways. The city is a rectangle, its length from north to south being three and a half miles and its width from east to west two and a half. It lies not far from the eastern shore of the great Taihu lake. Past its walls runs the southern section of the Grand Canal, which joins Hangchow to Chinkiang; and in every direction spread creeks or canals, affording easy communication with the numerous towns in the surrounding country. It is an important manufacturing centre, with a population of over half a million. Its two chief manufactures are satins and silk embroideries of various kinds. In addition, it sends out silk goods, linen and cotton fabrics, paper lacquer ware, and articles in iron, ivory, wood, horn, and glass. Before the Taiping rebellion Soochow shared with Hangchow the reputation of being the finest city in China, but it was almost entirely destroyed by the rebels, who captured it on 25th May, 1860. Its recovery by Major (afterwards General) Gordon on 27th November, 1863, was the first effective blow to the rebellion. Since that disastrous period it has recovered itself greatly and is once more populous and flourishing, though it has not yet attained to its former pitch of prosperity. It was declared open to foreign trade on the 26th December, 1896, under the provisions of the Japanese treaty.

HANGCHOW
Hangchow, the capital of the province of Chekiang, is situated 110 miles south- west of Shanghai, and 100 miles south of Soochow, on the Chien-tang River at the apex of a bay which is too shallow for the navigation of steamers. The mouth of the river is, moreover, periodically visited by a bore, or tidal wave, which further endangers the navigation. Before the Taiping rebellion Hangchow shared with Soochow the reputation of being the finest city in the Empire, on account of its wealth and splendour, but it was almost destroyed by the rebels. It has since rapidly recovered and is once more populous and flourishing, though it has not yet regained its former pitch of prosperity. The population is estimated at 750,000. As a manu- facturing centre Hangchow takes place even before Soochow. Its three great trades are silk weaving, including several kinds of crape and gauze, the production of fans of all kinds, and the making of thin tin foil, from which are formed the imitation ingots of silver, burnt in such immense quantities by the Chinese.
In addition, it sends out thread, string, colours, drugs, lacquer, and many other articles in small quantities. The communication by water with Shanghai is particularly good, and might be much improved with very little trouble by a small amount of dredging at a spot in the Grand Canal twenty miles from Hangchow. Ningpo, about eighty miles distant, can also be reached by boat from Hangchow, but the canals are not so large and convenient. Hangchow was declared open to foreign trade on the 26th September, 1896, in accordance with the terms of the Japanese treaty. Steam launches ply regularly to and from Shanghai and to and from Soochow with passengers, boats in tow making the trip in from 18 to 24 hours.
The site selected for the Foreign Settlement extends for a mile along the east bank of the Grand Canal; it covers over half a square mile and is about six miles due north of the city of Hangchow. The Custom House, now under construction, is the first building erected thereon. On the west side, opposite the Settlement, a silk filature, owned by Chinese and built and worked on western lines, is in operation. Two mills are also being built in a foreign style,

CHINKIANG
The port of Chinkiang (or Chên-kiang-fu), which was declared open to foreign trade by the Treaty of Tientsin, is situated on the Yangtszę, about 150 miles from its mouth! and at the point where the Grand Canal enters the river.
The history of Chinkiang possesses but few features of interest. The town, as a translation of its name implies ("River Guard"), was at one time a post of considerable importance from a military point of view, when all the rice-tribute from the south of China was transported to Peking by the interior route. The British forces captured the place in July, 1842, and as the cutting off of supplies always operates with great effect, the commanding situation thus secured was not long in producing the desired result upon the Central Government, for the Treaty of Nanking was signed a month afterwards. The Taiping rebels entered the town in April, 1853, and continued to occupy it till 1857, when they had to evacuate it from the same cause which had made the Government yield fifteen years before.
The city lies between one of the mouths of the Grand Canal and the right bank of the Yangtsze. Most of the houses are built on level ground, but the surrounding hills lend a pleasant appearance to the locality, which is considerably enhanced by the bluff scenery of the island of Ts'io-shan. When the city was abandoned by the rebel forces, its destruction was very nearly complete, and it has even now hardly recovered its former prosperous aspect. The city is enclosed by walls and defended by rather formidable looking batteries commanding the river approaches. The foreign settlement occupies a tract of land extending from the mouth of the Canal along the bank of the river. The little settlement has a neat bund, is provided with a club, and has small Protestant and Catholic churches. It was the scene of a formidable riot on the 5th February, 1889, when about half the foreign houses and buildings were destroyed by a native mob. The population of Chinkiang is estimated at 140,000.
Considerable commercial importance was attached to the port when it was first opened. The largest vessels can approach it, and hopes were high as to the position it would occupy in the development of inland trade with China; but the trade on the Yangtsze seems to have centred at Hankow, farther up the river. The net value of the foreign imports for 1895 was Tls. 12,622,423 as compared with Tls. 10,629,167 in 1894. The import of Opium into Chinkiang in 1895 was 3,893 piculs, against 4,172 piculs in 1894, and 10,900 piculs in 1884, the trade having declined owing to the competition of the lighter taxed native drug. The total value of the trade of the port for 1895 amounted to Tls. 29,850,648 and in 1894 to Tls. 19,292,491.

NANKING
This 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. It 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 proper to call the city Nanking, since the Government 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 is not yet an open port, although it is specified in the French Treaty of 1858 as one of the Yangtsze ports to be opened to trade, and its formal opening can doubtless be claimed at pleasure by the French Government.
Nanking is situated on the south bank of the Yangtsze, 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 cultivated 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 19th March, 1853, and after sustaining a prolonged siege was recaptured by the Imperial forces on the 19th July, 1864, a fatal blow to the rebels.
Although Nanking has recovered to a small extent from the prostration which attended its ill-treatment during the rebellion, it has never yet attained any commercial
178
NANKING
importance. A Naval College was opened here in 1890 for which a large pile of buildings. was erected. A dozen teachers and instructors are employed, including three foreigners. 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. The missionaries support three hospitals and a number of schools. A macadamized road has been built from the steamer landing clear through the city to the Tung-Tsi Gate in the south wall. The carriages and jinrickshas which have been introduced are much appreciated by the people and it is proposed to construct similar roads to other parts of the city. As the seat of the viceregal government and by virtue of its historic associations Nanking still possesses some importance, and will, no doubt, when opened to foreign trade, regain a degree of its lost prestige.

WUHU
This port was opened to foreign trade, by the Chefoo Convention, on the 1st April, 1877. It is situated on the river 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-kuoh-fu and Taiping-hsien, there are two others communicating with Su-an and Tung-pó.
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 net value of the foreign imports for the year 1895 was Tls. 3,733,303, compared with Tls. 3,416,889 in 1894. 2,523 piculs of Opium were imported in 1895, as compared with 2,893 piculs in 1894. Coal may some day become a considerable article of export from Wuhu, the mines at Chihchou, near Ta-tung, being worked with Western appliances and machinery. The export in 1895 was 3,857 tons as against 802 tons in 1894. There is a large trade in Timber in Wuhu, but that, like all other trade, is in the hands of the Chinese. The total value of the trade of the port for 1895 was Tls. 7,959,482 as against Tls. 10,224,540 in 1894.
The town is fairly well built, with rather broader streets than most Chinese cities possess, and is tolerably paved. The tract of land selected for the British Settlement, though admirably suited for the purpose, with good deep water frontage, has not yet been availed of, and there are few foreign houses in the place. The population of Wuhu is estimated at 77,000. This city was the scene of formidable anti-missionary riots in June, 1891.

KEWKIANG
Kewkiang (also 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 187 geographical miles from Hankow and 445 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 it was almost entirely destroyed. When the foreign settlement was established there, however, the population soon returned, and it has continued to increase rapidly: it is now estimated at 53,000.
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 not occupied. 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. 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, and small Protestant and Roman Catholic Churches.
The idea which led to the opening of Kewkiang was, no doubt, its situation as regards communication by water with the districts where the Green Tea is produced. But the hopes entertained respecting Kewkiang have never been wholly realised. The total quantity of Tea exported in 1895 was 266,055 piculs, of which 53,423 piculs were Green
KEWKIANG
181
the export for 1894 being 211,117 piculs. Opium was imported to the extent of 2,885 piculs in 1895, and 3,221 piculs in 1894. Kewkiang is the port from whence the ware made at the far-famed porcelain factories at Kin-tê-chên is shipped. In 1895, 34,625 piculs of this ware were exported. The total value of the trade of the port for 1895 was Tls. 14,232,354, and for 1894, TIs. 11,617,476.

HANKOW
Hankow is situated on the river Han at the point where it enters the Yangtsze, 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 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 Yangtsze. Hankow is distant from Shanghai about 600 miles.
Attention was first drawn to Hankow as a place of trade by Huc, a 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
HANKOW
183
are low. At his feet sweeps the magnificent Yangtsze, 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 highway 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 Yangtsze 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, which it joins, and is, together with the Race Course, included within the city walls, which are quite modern, having been built at the time of the Taiping Rebellion. It is well laid out, the roads being broad and all lined with well grown trees. The Bund, which is exactly half a mile in length, 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. A capital club, with tennis and racquet courts, bowling alley, billiard and reading rooms, library, &c., is kept up. A French Settlement was also fixed upon, but it has never been occupied. 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 presents no distinctive feature. Like all Chinese cities it is a crowded agglomeration of narrow lanes. The population of Hankow is estimated at 800,000. Cotton cloth mills established by the Viceroy Chang Chih-tung commenced running in 1892, and large ironworks at Hanyang have also been established.
Great expectations as regards trade were entertained respecting the opening of Hankow. Foreign commerce would, it was thought, be brought into immediate contact with the large internal population of China, and a port be established in the locality of the great tea producing districts. These expectations, however, have been but partially realised. Tea is, of course, the staple export, and it is at Hankow that the first steamers for home take in their cargoes. The total export of Tea from Hankow (including re-exports of Kewkiang tea) amounted in 1895 to 576,631 piculs, as compared with 504,353 piculs shipped in 1894. In 1895 Opium was imported to the extent of 577 piculs as against 721 piculs in 1894. It is computed that 70 per cent, of the opium used at this port is native grown drug; the import of the foreign article is declining. The trade under the transit pass system is larger at Hankow than at any other port; its value in 1895 was Tls. 5,555,905 as compared with Tls. 3,974,546 in 1894. The net value of the trade of the port in 1895 amounted to Tls. 44,507,502, and in 1894 to Tls. 39,134,793.

SHASI
Shashi 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 situated 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. The population is estimated at 80,000, and the town itself is much like other native towns of its size. It lies below the level of the river, from which it is protected by a huge embankment which runs for miles above and below the town. Besides being an important distributing centre Shashi is the seat of a rather extensive manufacture of native contto cloth.

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.
4
Ichang is situated in lat. 30° 44′ 25′′ N., long. 111° 18′ 34′′ E., on the left bank of the river Yangstze, about 393 miles abové Hankow, and some ten miles below the entrance to the great Ichang gorge. The navigation of the river to this port is com- paratively easy for vessels of light draught, but great care is necessary for all vessels when in the neighbourhood of Sunday Island, owing to the shifting sand banks. The anchorage is off the left bank, opposite the foreign residences, and is good, except in

ICHANG
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 ordinary 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, pomelos, pears, plums, and a very superior quality of persimmons are grown and find a ready market in the city and at Shasi. Ichang continues to increase in importance since the opening of Chungking. All cargo for the latter port is landed here and transferred to chartered junks. In the same way cargo brought down in chartered junks from Chungking and intended for the lower river and coast ports is shipped here on river steamers, which make regular voyages to and from Hankow.
Native opium is largely grown from here westwards, and is increasing in quantity and improving in quality. 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 about 35,000. The foreign residents are few in number, educated native.. agents representing the four or five foreign hongs doing business here. Fine new Consular and Customs buildings have recently been erected and have improved the appearance of the setttlement very much.
The net value of the trade of the port, excluding transhipment cargo, was in 1895 TIs. 1,496,031 and in 1894 Tls. 1,263,624. The foreign imports amounted to Tls. 625,157

CHUNGKING
The city of Chungking, situated in lat. 29 deg. 33 min. 30 sec. N. long., 107 deg. 8 min. E., may well be described, as not only the commercial capital of Szechuen, but of the whole of Western China. The foreign import trade centres here, and is then distributed by a smaller class of trading junks up the various rivers of the province. All exports--yellow silk, white wax, hides, leather, feathers, bristles, rhubarb, musk, opium, and the large assortment of Chinese medicines are received, assorted, repacked, and shipped to Ichang, Hankow, and Shashi, consignments to the latter port being transhipped there into smaller junks, and forwarded to the southern provinces, via the Tung Ting lake.
The city occupies the end of a high and rocky bluff forming a peninsula, at the junction of the river Kia-ling with the Yangtsze, 1,400 miles from the mouth of the latter. The principal streets of the city, in which are many fine shops, are on the side of the Yangtsze. It is surrounded by a crenelated stone wall in good repair, which is some five miles in circumference, pierced with nine gates. This wall was built in 1761, replacing an older one. The climate of Chungking is very depressing, perhaps the worst in China, the summers being hot and damp, the winters raw and chilly, with thick fogs from November to March. Spring and autumn can indeed hardly be said to exist. The ordinary rise of the river is about 70 feet; in 1892 it rose 96 feet, the water not being able to force its way fast enough through the gorges. On the left bank of the Kia-ling and facing Chungking, extending below the junction of the two rivers, is the walled city of Kiang-Peh-ting, formerly within the district of Li Min Fu, but now incorporated in Chungking Fu. These two cities, and the large villages in their immediate neighbourhood are estimated to contain a population of about 300,000. The population of Chungking itself is 109,100.
The port was declared open to Foreign trade in March, 1891, but business did not actually commence until the 18th June, since which date a large trade has been done both in imports and exports, carried in foreign chartered junks. The net value of the trade for 1895 was Tls. 13,253,772 as against Tls. 10,780,389 in 1894.
The Yangtsze is navigable for steamers from Ichang, not only to Chungking, but as far as Suchau-fu, where the Min river joins the Yangtsze, but hitherto steamers have not been allowed to ascend above Ichang. By the Japanese treaty of 1894, how- ever, the right of steam navigation to Chungking has been secured.

NINGPO
Ningpo is situated on the river Yung, in the province of Chekiang, in lat. 29 deg. 55 min. N., and long. 121 deg. 22 min. E. It was one of the five ports thrown open to foreigners in 1842. Foreigners had, however, visited Ningpo at an early date. Portuguese traded there in 1522; a number of them settled in the place in that and succeeding years, and there was every prospect of a rising and successful settlement soon being established. But the lawless acts of the Portuguese soon attracted the attention of the Government, and in 1542 the Governor of Chekiang ordered the settlement to be destroyed and the population to be exterminated. A large force of Chinese troops soon besieged the place, destroying it entirely, and out of a population of 1,200 Portuguese, 800 were massacred. No further attempt at trade with this port was made till towards the close of the 17th century, when the East India Company established & factory at the island of Chusan, some forty miles from Ningpo. The attempt to found a trade mart there, however, proved unsatisfactory, and the factory was abandoned after a very few years' trial. The port was deserted by foreigners for many years after that. When hostilities broke out between Great Britain and China in 1839, the fleet moved north from Canton, and on the 13th October, 1841, occupied Ningpo, and an English garrison was stationed there for some time. In March, 1842, an attempt was made by the Chinese to retake the city, but the British artillery repulsed them with great slaughter. Ningpo was evacuated on May 7th, and, on the proclamation of peace in the following August, the port was thrown open to foreign trade.
Ningpo is built on a plain, which stretches away to a considerable distance on either side. It is a walled city, the walls enclosing a space of some five miles in cir- cumference. The walls are built of brick, and are about twenty-five feet high. They are fifteen feet wide at the summit, and twenty-two at the base. Access is obtained to the town by six gates. A large moat commences at the north gate and runs along the foot of the wall for about three miles on the landward side, until it stops at what is called the Bridge Gate. The main street runs from east to west. Several of the streets are spanned by arches erected in memory of distinguished natives. Ningpo has been celebrated as possessing the fourth library of Chinese works, in point of numbers, which existed in the empire. It was owned by a family who resided near the south gate. The site occupied by the foreign residences is on the north bank of the river. The population of Ningpo is estimated at 255,000.
The foreign trade at Ningpo has never been large. This is owing to a considerable extent to the proximity of Shanghai; the native guilds preventing direct dealings with foreigners. The net quantity of Opium imported in 1895 was 5,164 piculs, as compared with 5,565 piculs in 1894. Of Tea, there were 190,473 piculs exported in 1895, and 162,721 in 1894. The total value of the trade of the port was Tls. 16,525,955 in 1895, and Tls. 14,599,757 in 1894.

WÊNCHOW
Wên-chow-fu, one of the five ports opened to foreign trade by the Chefoo Convention, is the chief town in the department of the same name occupying the south-east corner of Che-kiang province. The city is situated on the south bank of the river Ou-kiang, about twenty miles from its mouth, in lat. 27 deg. 18 min. 4 sec. N., long. 120 deg. 38 min. 28 sec. E. The site is a well cultivated plain, bounded on all sides, but at a distance of

some five miles, by lofty hills. The walls are said to have been first erected during the fourth century, and enlarged and re-built by the Emperor Hung Wu in 1385. They are formed of stone, diagonally laid at the foundation, and partly also of brick, and measure about four miles in circumference. The streets are wider, straighter, and cleaner than those of most Chinese cities. They are mostly well paved with brick and kept in careful repair by the householders. They slope down on either side to waterways, which in their turn communicate with canals permeating the whole city. There are numerous large nunneries and temples in Wên-chow. The Custom-house, outside the chief gate, known as the Shwang Mến or "Double Gate," the Taotai's Yamên, the Prefect's and other public offices in a cluster, and the Foundling Hospital, all near the centre, are the other chief buildings. The latter institution, built in 1748, contains one hundred apartments. Among the objects of greatest interest and curiosity to the stranger are two pagodas situated on "Conquest" Island, abreast of the city. They are both of great antiquity and, with the houses close by, were for some time the retreat of Ti Ping, the last Emperor of the Sung dynasty, when seeking to escape from the Mongols under Kublai Khan. The British Consul and the Customs examiners occupy apartments on the island used by His Majesty, who has left behind him autographs preserved to this day in the adjoining temple. The estimated population of the city is 80,000.
There is no foreign settlement at Wenchow, and the foreign residents are a mere handful, consisting almost entirely of officials and missionaries. A large quantity of native opium is produced in the vicinity of Wênchow. There is a considerable native export trade in wood, charcoal, and bamboos, brought down the river on rafts from Ch'u-chow. The annual value of this trade is estimated to be not less than $2,000,000. The shops and yards engaged in it are situated in the west suburb, where mmense quantities of bamboos and poles are kept on hand. Wênchow is also elebrated for its bitter oranges. The export of Tea in 1895 was 20,585 piculs, as compared with 14,279 piculs in 1894. The value of the whole trade of the port for 1895- was Tls. 1,086,501, as compared with Tls. 791,048 in 1894.

FOOCHOW
Foochow (or Fuh-chau-fu) is the capital of the Fokien province. It is situated in lat. 26 deg. 02 min. 24 sec. N., and long. 119 deg. 20 min. E. The city is built on a plain on the northern side of the river Min, and is distant about thirty-four miles from the sea, and nine miles from Pagoda Island, where foreign vessels anchor.
The attention of foreigners was early attracted to Foochow as a likely place where commercial intercourse could be profitably carried on in the shipment of Bohea Tea, which is grown largely in the locality. Before the port was opened, this article used to be carried overland to Canton for shipment, a journey which was both long and difficult. The East India Company, as early as 1830, made representations in favour of the opening of the port, but nothing definite was done till the conclusion of the Treaty of Nanking in 1842. The early years of intercourse with the natives were anything but what was anticipated. The navigation of the river was difficult, there was no market for imports, and several attacks by the populace rendered the port an undesirable place of residence for some time. It was not until some ten years after the port had been opened that there was much done in the export of Tea from the interior, but after that the quantity shipped increased largely, and Foochow became one of the principal tea ports in China. Since 1880, when the tea trade of the port reached its highest figure, the export being 737,000 piculs, the prosperity of the place has been on the wane, and in 1895 the shipment of this its staple product was 356,341 piculs only.
The city is built around three hills, and the circuit of the walled portion is between six and seven miles in length. The walls are about thirty feet high and twelve feet wide at the top. The streets are narrow and filthy, but the number of trees about the official quarter of the city, and the wooded hills enclosed by the walls, give a picturesque appearance to the general view. Two well preserved pagodas stand within the city walls. Near the east gate of the city are several hot springs, which are used by the natives for the cure of skin diseases and are believed to be very efficacious. The Foochow people excel in the manufacture of miniature monuments, pagodas, dishes, &c., from what is called "
soap stone," and in the construction of artificial flowers, curious figures of birds, &c. A few miles above the city the river divides into two branches, which, after pursuing separate courses for fifteen miles, unite a little above Pagoda Anchorage. The foreign settlement stands on the northern side of the island thus formed and which is called Nantai. A bridge across the river, known as the Long Bridge or Bridge of the Ten Thousand Ages, affords access to the city.
The climate of Foochow is mild and delightful for about nine months of the year, but in the summer it is rather trying, the range of the thermometer then being from 74 deg. Fahr. to 98 deg. A refuge from the heat of summer can, however, be gained by a three hours' chair ride to the top of Kuliang, which mountain resort is now much frequented by the foreign residents. The thermometer indicates an average of 10 degrees cooler on the mountain than it is in Foochow; the nights are always cool and blankets a necessity for comfort. Sharp Peak also affords a seaside and bathing resort which is much appreciated.
The scenery surrounding Foochow is very beautiful. In sailing up the Min river from the sea vessels have to leave the wide stream and enter what is called the Kimpai Pass, which is barely half-a-mile across, and enclosed as it is by bold, rocky walls, it presents a very striking appearance. The Pass of Min-ngan is narrower, and with its towering cliffs, surmounted by fortifications and cultivated terraces, is extremely pictu- resque, and has been compared to some of the scenes on the Rhine. The Yung Fu, a tributary of the Min, also affords some charming scenery, the hills rising very abruptly from the river bank. The Min Monastery, the Moon Temple, and the Kushan Monastery, all occupying most romantic and beautiful sites, are fine specimens of Chinese religious edifices, and are much resorted to by visitors. Game abounds in all the ravines and mountains in the vicinity of Foochow, while tigers and panthers are common in the more remote hills, and some of these beasts have been killed within ten miles of the city.
On the 1st August, 1895, a fearful massacre of missionaries occurred at Hwasang, a village near Kucheng, 120 miles west of Foochow, nine adults (eight of them ladies) and one child being killed and another child receiving injuries from which it died some days later.

FOOCHOW
Foreign vessels, with the exception of those of very light draught, are compelled to anchor at Pagoda Island, owing to the shallowness of the river, which has been increasing of late years, and the difficulties of navigation; even at the anchorage the river is silting up in several places, so that it is now almost impossible to go straight across from Losing Island to the mainland at low water. The limits of the port of Foochow extend from the City Bridge to the Kimpai Pass. The Mamoi Arsenal, near Pagoda Anchorage, is an extensive Government establishment, where several good sized gunboats have been built. The Arsenal was bombarded by the French on the 23rd-24th August, 1884, and reduced to partial ruin, but has since been restored. The establishment is now being reorganised, several Frenchmen having been engaged, who are to arrive at the beginning of the present year (1897), to take charge of the different departments. The construction of new dock in connection with the Arsenal was commenced in November, 1887, on Losing Island, but is not yet quite completed, although a vessel has already been docked. The dock is over 300 ft. long and has very powerful pumps and a good steel caisson. A small daily paper called the Foochow Echo is published. The population of Foochow is estimated at 1,000,000
Of Opium 3,702 piculs were imported in 1895 as against 4,511 piculs in 1894. The value of the trade of the port for 1895 was Tls. 14,022,015; for 1894 it was Tls. 13,450,932.

AMOY
Amoy was one of the five ports open to foreign trade before the ratification of the Treaty of Tientsin. It is situated upon the island of Haimun, at the mouth of the Pei Chi or Dragon River, in lat. 24 deg. 40 mín. N. and long. 118 deg. E. It was the scene of trade with Western nations at a very early date. The Portuguese went there in 1544, but in consequence of their cruelty towards the natives, the Chinese authorities forcibly expelled them and burned thirteen of their vessels. The English had commercial dealings there up to 1730, when the Chinese Government issued an edict prohibiting trade with foreigners at all ports except Canton. They made an exception as regards Spanish ships, which were allowed to trade at Amoy. The vessels of other nationalities, however, continued to visit the place and did so till the city was captured in 1841. The Treaty of Nanking was signed soon afterwards, by which all foreigners were
admitted to trade there.
In describing Amoy, Dr. Williams says:-"The island (upon which Amoy is built) is about forty miles in circumference, and contains scores of large villages besides the city. The scenery within the bay is picturesque, caused partly by the numerous islands which define it, surmounted by pagodas or temples, and partly by the high barren hills behind the city. There is an outer and an inner city, as one approaches it seaward, divided by a high ridge of rocky hills having a fortified wall running along the top. A paved road connects the two. The entire circuit of the city and suburbs is about eight miles, containing a population of 300,000, while that of the island is estimated at 100,000 more. The harbour is one of the best on the coast; there is good holding ground in the outer harbour, and vessels can anchor in the inner, within a short distance of the beach, and be perfectly secure; the tide rises and falls from fourteen to sixteen feet. The western side of the harbour, here from six hundred and seventy-five to eight hundred and forty yards wide, is formed by the island of Kulangsu. It is a picturesque little spot and maintains a rural population of 3,500 people. Eastward of Amoy is the island of Quemoy or Kinmun (Golden Harbour), presenting a striking contrast in the low foreground on its south shore to the high land on Amoy." The population of the city is, however, now estimated at 96,000.
Amoy ranks as a third class city. It is considered, even for China, to be very dirty, and its inhabitants are unusually squalid in their habits. There are several places of interest to foreigners in the vicinity, and excursions can be made to Chang- chow-fu, the chief city of the department of that name, and situated about 35 miles from Amoy. The island of Kulangsu is about a third of a mile from Amoy, and the residences of nearly all the foreigners are to be found there, although most of the foreign business is transacted on the Amoy side. There is a good Club in the settlement, adjoining which is the cricket ground. A neat little Anglican Church has also been erected. There are three granite docks at Amoy, the largest being 310 feet by 60feet; they are owned and managed by foreigners. A small shipping sheet called the Amoy Gazette is published daily. The foreign residents number about 280.
There has always been a comparatively good trade done at Amoy. There is frequent and pretty regular steamer communication with Hongkong, Swatow, and Foochow. Direct communication with Manila and the Straits Settlements is also maintained. The total export of Tea for 1895 was 137,213 piculs (including 121,280 piculs re-exported) as against 210,599 piculs in 1894. The export of Sugar for 1895 was 124,707 piculs, compared with 174,141 piculs in 1894. The net importation of Opium for 1895 was 2,427 piculs as compared with 3,173 piculs in 1894. The total value of the foreign trade of the port for 1895 was Tls. 13,466,892 against Tls. 12,693,148 in
1894.

SWATOW
Swatow, which was first thrown open to foreigners by the Treaty of Tientsin, is situated at the mouth of the river Han, near the eastern border of the Kwangtung province, in lat. 23 deg. 20 min. 43 sec. N., and long. 116 deg. 39 min. 3 sec. E. It is the shipping port for the city of Cha'o-chow-fu, the seat of the local government, 35 miles inland, and San-Ho-Pa, forty miles farther up the river.
Swatow is built on the northern bank of the Han, which forms part of an alluvial plain through which the branches of the river flow. The shore on the opposite side is bold and striking, the hills stretching away to the coast and forming what is known to sea-going people as the "Cape of Good Hope," Pagoda Hill rises at the opposite side; and in a direct line from this lies the large island of Namoa.
The first foreign trading depôt in this locality was inaugurated at Namoa, where the opium vessels used to anchor, but it was subsequently removed to Double Island, which is situated just inside the river and is four miles from Swatow. Foreigners here made themselves notorious in the early years of the settlement by the kidnapping of coolies, and so strong was the feeling shown against them by the natives that no foreigners were safe far from Double Island, while they were strictly forbidden to enter Swatow, and it was not until 1861 that they could do so. In the country round Swatow the antipathy to foreigners was of much longer duration. The British Consul was held technically to reside at Cha'o-chow-fu, and subsequent to 1861 several ineffectual attempts were made to pass through its gates. In 1866 a visit was made under m~~~ favourable circumstances, but it is only within the last few years that the populat has refrained from annoyance and insult to foreigners within its walls. In 1862 lease of a piece of land was applied for and granted to the British Government on north bank of the river about a mile from Swatow, but so strong were the demonst tions of the populace against it that the matter fell through. Foreign residence however, commenced to spring up here and there, and many of them are consequer

somewhat scattered, though the majority are in or near the town of Swatow. The yearly increasing traffic of the port has led to much over-crowding on the narrow strip of land on which it is built, and since February, 1877, no less than 21 acres have been reclaimed from the sea, the greater part of which is now covered with shops and houses.
The town occupies,
The climate of Swatow is reputed to be very salubrious. however, an unenviable position as regards typhoons, on account of being opposite the lower mouth of the Formosa Channel, and it has on many occasions been subjected to all the violence of these terrible storms, which almost every year sweep across the lower coast of China. The population of Swatow is estimated at 30,000.
The foreign trade of Swatow has never been large, but of late years it has shown a slight increase. The quantity of Opium imported in 1895 was 4,112 piculs as compared with 5,792 piculs in 1894. The quantity of Tea exported reached only 6,811 piculs in 1895. A considerable trade is done in Sugar, there having been 690,518 piculs brown and 630,640 piculs white exported in 1895. The China Sugar Refining Co. of Hongkong have a large Sugar Refinery here, but work has for some time been suspended. A large beancake factory was also started in 1882. The value of the trade of the port for 1895 was Tls. 26,984,558 as compared with Tls. 25,908,508 in 1894.

CANTON
Canton is situated on the Chu-kiang or Pearl River, in latitude 23 deg. 7 min. 10 sec. N., and longitude 113 deg. 14 min. 30 sec. E., and is the capital of the province of Kwangtung. It is sometimes called the City of Rams and the City of Genii, both of which names are derived from ancient legends. Canton is a foreign perversion of Kwangtung, its real name. One of the first cities in the Chinese Empire, it is also the seat of government for the province, and is the residence of the Viceroy of "The Two Kwang" (Kwangtung and Kwangsi). The Governor of Kwangtung and the Tartar General are likewise resident here, besides a number of other government officials of more or less distinction, including the Haikwan, or Superintendent of Customs, a post always held by a Manchu.

Owing to its favoured situation, Canton became at an early date the Chinese port to which the traffic of European countries was first attracted. The Portuguese found their thither in 1516, and Arab navigators had been making regular voyages between Can- ton and the ports of Western Asia as early as the tenth century. The Dutch appeared the scene about a hundred years later than the Portuguese, and these in their turn were supplanted by the English. The latter, towards the close of the seventeenth century, founded the very profitable trade which was conducted for nearly one hundred and fifty years by the Agents of the East India Company, who established a
Factory there in 1684, which was afterwards celebrated throughout the world. From 1684 the export of tea to England increased rapidly. The Company's monopoly terminated in 1834. In 1839 Great Britain was led to a declaration of war with China in consequence of the oppression to which foreigners were subjected by the native authorities, and

Canton was menaced with capture in 1841. A pecuniary ransom was, however, received in lieu of the occupation of the city, and hostilities were for the time being suspended. The lesson, unfortunately, was without effect, and the arrogance of the Chinese authorities continued unabated. The British campaign in Central China ensued, and the result was the signature of the Treaty of Nanking (August 29th, 1842), by which what was called the Co-Hong monopoly at Canton was abolished and four additional ports thrown open to foreign trade. Nevertheless, the provisions of the Treaty continued to be ignored in the City of Rams, and foreigners were still denied admittance within its walls. The result of protracted annoyances and insults was that in October, 1856, Sir Michael Seymour, with the fleet, again opened hostilities, and some two months later a mob in retaliation pillaged and burned all the foreign residences. In December, 1857, Sir Charles Straubenzee, in command of an expedition which had been specially despatched from England, attacked the city, and it was taken on the 29th of that month. The French also sent out an expedition, and the city was occupied by the Allied Forces until October, 1861, a period of nearly four years.
The city proper extends to a breadth of about two miles, is about six miles in circumference, and is enclosed by walls about twenty feet thick and from twenty-five to forty feet high. The suburbs spread along the river for nearly five miles. The entire circuit, including the suburbs, is nearly ten miles, the walls enclosing about six miles. What is called the New City now was formerly known as the Southern Suburb. The Western Suburb stretches for miles along the river. There are sixteen gates giving admission into the city beside two water gates. Canton contains great attractions for foreign visitors in its numerous temples, pagodas, &c., and in the many curio shops to be found there. As a specimen of Chinese architecture the Chin Chew Club is well worthy of inspection, and the Examination Hall, the City of the Dead, the Execution Ground, the Gaols, the Arsenal, an ancient Water Clock, and the Mahomedan Mosque are among other show places. The French Mission have erected a large and handsome Gothic cathedral, with two lofty towers surmounted by spires, in the city. The structure is entirely built of dressed granite. A new Mint, constructed by the late Viceroy Chang Chih-tung, and furnished with a very complete plant, has been erected near the North Gate, commenced work in 1889, and now issues a silver subsidiary coinage as well as copper cash. The buildings cover a large area. On the opposite side of the river the Honam Temple and Monastery is the principal attraction. The population of Canton is estimated at 2,000,000, which is the figure given in the last issue of the Customs Trade Reports. A native official report in 1895 gave the population as 499,288 only; but this was exclusive of the boat population and is believed to have been inaccurate as regards the land population.
When the foreign merchants returned to Canton to establish trade after the capture of the city by the English at the close of 1857, they found the Factory and the buildings along the river in ruins. Recourse for accommodation was consequently had to warehouses on the Honam side of the river. Considerable discussion subsequently took place as to the selection of a site for a permanent British settlement, and it was eventually determined that an extensive mudflat known as Shameen should be filled in and appropriated. In 1859 an artificial island was created there, a canal constructed between the northern side of the site and the city, and solid and extensive embankments of masonry built. It took about two years to complete this undertaking, and cost no less than $325,000. Of this sum four-fifths were defrayed by the British, and one-fifth by the French Government, to whom a portion of the reclaimed land was given. Up to 1889 most of the French concession remained unutilised, but in that year a number of lots were sold and are now built upon. The French also received a grant of the old site of the Viceroy's Yamên, on which the Catholic Cathedral has been erected. Shameen is pleasingly laid out, and the roads are shaded with well grown trees. A neat church, called Christ Church, stands at the western end. There is good hotel accommodation. During an anti-foreign riot on the 10th September, 1883, sixteen houses and the Concordia Theatre on the settlement were burned by the mob.
In consequence of the decline in the importance of Canton as a place of trade, caused principally by the opening of some of the northern ports, many of the merchants by whom lots were purchased there in 1861, at enormous prices, withdrew from Canton altogether. The trade now transacted there by foreigners is limited. Tea and Silk are the staple exports. The total export of Tea for the year ending 31st December, 1895, was 10,091 piculs compared with 12,367 piculs in 1894, and the quantity of Raw Silk (exclusive of Refuse and Wild Silk) exported in 1895 was 24,375 piculs as compared with 20,507 piculs in 1894. These figures, however, which are taken from the Foreign Customs returns, do not give the total export, but only those in foreign vessels. Both

Tea and Silk are carried in large quantities to Hongkong by junk, for transhipment. The import of Opium in 1895 was 5,999 piculs as compared with 7,631 piculs in 1894. The total value of the trade of the port for 1895 was Tls. 50,274,994 as compared with Tls. 45,417,597 in 1894.
Ample means of communication exist between Canton and Hongkong, a distance of about ninety-five miles, by foreign steamers plying daily, and a large number of native craft. There is daily steam communication with Macao. Steamers also run regularly between Shanghai, Hongkong, and Canton. There is a safe and commodious anchorage within 150 yards of the river wall at Shameen. Canton was connected by telegraph (an overland line) with Kowloon in 1883, and another overland line was completed from Canton to Lungchau-fu, on the Kwangsi and Tonkin frontier, in June, 1884. A pro- jected railway between Canton and Kowloon has received the Imperial sanction and a preliminary survey has been made, but it still remains a project.

WHAMPOA
This village was formerly the seat of a large portion of the foreign trade with Canton, as foreign sailing vessels are not allowed to go farther up the Pearl River. The trade in sailing vessels has, however, dwindled to very small proportions, and Whampoa is now almost deserted. A branch of the Maritime Customs is stationed here. The large mud docks formerly belonging to the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Com- pany were sold some years ago to the Chinese Government and have since been used for the gunboat squadron. A Government Torpedo School has been established here.
The village, known as Bamboo Town, is a dirty and unattractive place without any feature of interest, but the scenery around is picturesque and pleasing. Two lofty pagodas on neighbouring eminences are conspicuous objects from the river. The first of these, called the Whampoa Pagoda, is built on an island rising abruptly from the river to the height of 100 feet. It was erected about the year 1598, and is very much not of repair. A good sized tree grows from the brickwork at the summit. The other pagoda, called the First Bar Pagoda, is nearer to Canton, and occupies a hill which is considered the guardian hill of the province. It was built between the years 1621 and 1628 as a palladium to the water way of the provincial capital.
The importance of Whampoa is now a thing of the past. The place will always, however, possess some interest for foreigners, since the earliest recollections of foreign commercial intercourse with China are associated with it, all foreign ships being in old times compelled to anchor at Whampoa.

CHINESE
KOWLOON
The station of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs just outside the harbour of Hongkong, generally known as, and officially designated, the Kowloon Customs Station, is really situated at Lai Chi-kok, a tiny hamlet on the mainland opposite the western end of Stonecutter's Island. Two hulks are moored at a little distance from the shore, and buildings for the accommodation of the Foreign and Chinese staff, of considerable size and extent, have been erected on the point. Lai Chi-kok is not on the peninsula of Kowloon, though near to it, and is conveniently situated for watching craft bound for Canton. Kowloon City is situated at the back of the peninsula in a roomy but shallow

bay to the north-east of Hung-ham bay, where the Kowloon establishment of the Hong- kong and Whampoa Dock Company is located. The city is a small one, and the larger portion of it is built outside the walls, which climb to some height the hill at the back, giving it a rather picturesque appearance. The walls are of granite, but of no great thickness, and neither they nor the old dismantled guns lying on them would be of any use for purposes of defence. The streets are narrow and dirty, and there are no public buildings save the tower-like pawnshop and the dilapidated yamên inside the walls. A little distance from the city may be seen, however, one of those interesting little fortified villages, with embattled walls and a moat, which are not uncommon in the province of Kwangtung, and which serve to indicate the state of insecurity in which the rural population live. Beyond this is the road which leads over the mountains at the back and which is worth climbing for the fine view of Hongkong from the pass at the top. The population of Kowloon City is probably not more than 5,000. A steam ferry plies between Hongkong and Kowloon City at uncertain hours every day. The total value of the trade passing through the Kowloon Customs Stations in 1895 was Tls. 50,385,194 as compared with Tls. 40,687,681 in 1894.

LAPPA
Lappa, also called by the Chinese Kung Pak, is an island, directly opposite the Inner Harbour of Macao, the distance across being from 1 to 1 miles. One of the stations of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs is located here, and another on an islet called Malowchow. Lappa is under the jurisdiction of the Heungshan Magistrate. It possesses no features of interest beyond the fact that it is the principal Customs station in the neighbourhood of Macao. The net value of the trade passing through the Lappa Custom Houses in 1895 was Tls. 9,375,928 as compared with Tls. 9,295,373 in 1894.

PAKHOI
Pakhoi is one of the ports opened to foreign trade by the Chefoo Convention in 1876. It is situated on the Gulf of Tonkin in long. 109 deg. 6 min. E. and lat. 21 deg. 30 min. N. The British Consul hoisted his flag on the 1st May, 1877, and the foreigners were well received by the natives. Pakhoi is the port for the important city of Lien- chau, from whence considerable quantities of foreign piece goods are distributed over the country lying between the West River and the seaboard. It was hoped that it would also become one great outlet for the trade of the province of Kwangsi. The trade was formerly almost exclusively in the hands of Chinese, who transhipped goods from Hongkong and Macao (chiefly the latter) in native bottoms, and in 1877 the value of the trade passing through the Foreign Customs amounted to no more than Tls. 11,714, but after 1878 it gradually attained respectable proportions. In 1895 the value of the trade was Tls. 3,813,063 as compared with Tls. 4,118,647 in 1894. The exports are sugar, oil, rice, tea, &c. The progress of the trade has been checked in some degree by the opening of frontier stations to French trade, goods now finding their way into Kwangsi through
Tonkin.
The town is situated on a small peninsula and faces nearly due north. It stands at the foot of a bluff nearly forty feet high, which deprives it of the south-west breeze in summer, while in winter it is exposed to the full force of the north-east monsoon. From the bluff an extensive partly cultivated plain stretches, over which there is some sport, snipe, plover, quail, and pigeons being found in large numbers, while duck and other water fowl are not numerous. The climate is considered to be very salubrious. The estimated population of the port is 25,000.
No port in China is more easily approached and entered than that of Pakhoi. The landmarks are conspicuous and unmistakeable. The channel is wide and deep and has no hidden danger to be avoided. The anchorage is a mile and a half from the town There is good landing at high water, but at ebb tide only for small boats.

HOIHOW (IN HAINAN)
Hoihow is the seaport of the city of Kiung-chow (the seat of government in the island of Hainan, and distant from its port about three and a-half miles) which was opened to foreign trade on the 1st April, 1876. The position of the port, though geographically favourable, is topographically unsuitable for the development of any extensive com- mercial transactions, vessels being compelled to anchor some two miles from the entrance of the creek, or branch of the main river upon which Hoihow is situated. The tides are extremely irregular, and the anchorage is liable to the visitation of very severe typhoons, being moreover entirely unprotected from the north. The width of the Hainan Straits, between Hoihow and the mainland-the Lien-chau peninsula-is about twelve miles. As regards health, Hoihow compares favourably with other parts of Hainan, though fever and ague are said to prevail to some extent. The port is badly supplied with water.
The approaches to the shore are extremely shallow, so that loading and unloading can only be carried on at certain states of the tide. Despite this disadvantage, however, the advent of foreign steamers has given a considerable impulse to trade. The town itself contains about 12,000 souls, and is governed by a Tsan-fu, or Lieutenant-Colonel; the population of Kiungchow being 41,000. The native mercantile population, though respectable, is by no means rich. No foreign settlement has as yet been formed, and with the exception of the Roman Catholic Orphanage, erected in 1895, and the American Presbyterian Mission Hospital and doctor's residence, now in course of building, the houses occupied by the foreign residents are Chinese converted into European habitations by alterations and improvements. H.B.M. Consulate obtained a site after 14 years' negotiations, but this having been found unsuitable another site

HOIHOW (IN HAINAN)-LUNGCHOW
contiguous to the Roman Catholic Orphanage was secured in the latter part of 1896. The foreign residents at present number about thirty. The value of the whole trade of the port in 1895 was Tls. 2,385,173 as compared with Tls. 3,101,219 in 1894 and Tls. 2,888,818 in 1893. A large export trade in pigs, poultry, eggs, and provisions is carried on with Hongkong. A steam plant for the preparation of albumen for the European market was established by a French firm in 1896.
A harbour light and one at Lamko (western entrance of the Hainan Straits) were opened in 1894; and one at Cape Cami in 1895.

LUNGCHOW
This city is situated at the junction of the Sung-chi and Kao-ping rivers in lat. 22 deg 31 min. N., and long. 106 deg. 45 min. E., near the south-western border of the province of Kwangsi, and was selected as the seat of the frontier trade of that province with Tonkin. The continuation of the two above rivers is known as Tso-chiang,
or left branch of the West River, and it enters the main stream some 30 miles above Fan-ning The town is prettily placed in a circular valley surrounded by hills, and has a new

wall completed in 1887. The population is estimated to number about 22,000. Lung- chow, from a military point of view, is considered, by the Chinese, to be a place of importance and considerable bodies of troops are stationed, and the head-quarters of the Provincial Commander-in-Chief are established, between it and the Tonkin frontier. It was opened to the Franco-Annamese trade on the 1st June, 1889, but so far the little trade existing has been of a very petty description, and will continue so, until the Langson railway, which was opened in Dec., 1894, is extended to Lung-chow. This extension has now been authorised by the Chinese Government, and construction of the line from Lung-chow to the frontier was begun in the Autumn of 1896. Tele- graphic communication exists with Canton and other places down the West River, with Mêngtzŭ in Yunnan, vid Po-sê, and with places in Tonkin. An establishment of the Imperial Maritime Customs is maintained here. The value of the trade for 1895 was Tls. 90,950 as compared with Tls. 45,500 in 1893, and Tls. 153,133 in 1894.

MÊNGTSZ
This is a district city in south-east Yunnan, and together with Man-hao, a village on the left bank of the Red River, was opened to trade by the Additional Convention to the French Treaty of Tientsin of the 25th April, 1886, signed at Peking on the 26th June, 1887. The town is two days' journey from Man-hao and about seven days' from the frontier of Tonkin, and is beautifully situated, being built on a cultivated plateau twenty miles long by about twelve miles in breadth, encircled by picturesque mountains, and 4,580 feet above the level of the sea. It has a population of about 12,000 persons, but before the Mahommedan rebellion was a place of much more importance, as the numerous well-built temples, many of them now in ruins, still testify. It is, however, a considerable commercial emporium even now, and is becoming an important centre for the distribution of foreign goods imported viâ Tonkin. The French Consul hoisted his flag at Mêngtsz on the 30th April, 1889, and the Customs station was opened in the following August. The value of the trade for 1895 was Tls. 2,842,319 as compared with Tls. 2,185,200 in 1894. The Chinese merchants avail themselves largely of the advan- tages offered by the transit pass system, and the value of goods sent into the interior under transit passes during the year 1895 amounted to Tls. 1,521,021, or a little more than 84 per cent. of the quantity imported. The climate of Mêngtsz is temperate and salubrious, though every year, principally in the hot season, the plague makes numerous victims there and throughout the province among the natives. In 1896 the plague appeared late in April and disappeared early in August. The number of victims is stated to have been about 1,400 in the city and neighbouring villages, but no really trustworthy statistics are obtainable. During the winter good sport is obtained, snipe and wild fowl being abundant in the plain, and some pheasants and partridges in the hilly districts. A new French Consulate was finished in 1893, new dwelling houses for members of the Customs service in 1894, and a new Custom House in the spring of 1895. All these buildings are outside the East gate of the city. No foreign merchants have as yet started business in Mêngtsz.

SZEM A O
Szemao is situated on the north western frontier of Yunnan and was opened to Franco-Annamite trade by the Franco-Chinese Convention of 20th June, 1895. It is the seat of a considerable trade with the Shan States, and was suggested by Mr. Archibald Colquhoun as the terminus of a railway running from Bangkok via Zimmé and having connection with the Burmese system. The town lies in the centre of a plain, and bears evidence in its fine stone bridges and causeways, now falling into decay, of having once possessed a greater importance than it does to-day. The trade in the celebrated Puerh tea centres at this point.

HONGKONG
This, the most eastern of British possessions, is situate off the coast of the Kwangtung province, near the mouth of the Canton river. It is distant about 40 miles from Macao and 90 from Canton, and lies between 22 deg. 9 min. and 22 deg. 1 min. N. lat. and 114 deg. 5 min. and 114 deg. 18 min. E. long. The Chinese characters representing the name of the island (Heung Kong) may be read as signifying either Good Harbour or Fragrant Streams.
HISTORY AND GOVERNMENT.
Before the British ensign was hoisted on Possession Point the island can hardly be said to have had any history, and what little attaches to it is very obscure. Scantily peopled by fishermen and agriculturists, it was never the scene of stirring events, and was little affected by dynastic or political changes. It is alleged, however, that after the fall of the Mings in 1628 some of the Emperor's followers found shelter in the forests of Hongkong from the fury of the Manchus. The peninsula of British Kowloon has more claim to association with Chinese history. In the year A.D. 1287 it is recorded that the last Emperor of the Sung dynasty when flying from Kublai Khan, the Mongol con- queror, took refuge in a cave in Kowloon, and an inscription on the rock above is said to record the fact. The rock is about a quarter-of-an-hour's walk from the frontier, near to a small temple on the right hand side of the path, and the inscription consists of the characters Sung Wong Toi, meaning the Sung Emperor's Pavilion. On the cession of the territory to Great Britain the natives petitioned the Hongkong Government that the rock might not be blasted or otherwise injured on account of the tradition connecting it with the Imperial personage above mentioned.
}}
Hongkong is a Crown Colony and was ceded to Great Britain by the Chinese Government in 1841. In the troubles which preceded the first war with China the necessity of having some place on the coast whence British trade might be protected and controlled, and where officials and merchants might be free from the insulting and humiliating requirements of the Chinese Authorities, became painfully evident. As early as 1834 Lord Napier, smarting under his insolent treatment by the Viceroy at Canton, urged the Home Government to send a force from India to support the dignity of his commission. "A little armament," he wrote, "should enter the China seas with the first of the south-west monsoon, and on arriving should take possession of the island of Hongkong, in the eastern entrance of the Canton river, which is admirably adapted for every purpose.' Two years later Sir George Robinson, endorsing the opinion of Lord Napier that nothing but force could better our position in China, advised, "the occupation of one of the islands in this neighbourhood, so singularly adapted by nature in every respect for commercial purposes.' In the early part of 1839 affairs approached a crisis, and on the 22nd March Captain Elliot, the Chief Superintendent of Trade, required that all the ships of Her Majesty's subjects at the outer anchorages of Canton should pro- ceed forthwith to Hongkong, and, hoisting their national colours, be prepared to resist every act of aggression on the part of the Chinese Government. When the British com- munity left Canton, Macao afforded them a temporary asylum, but their presence there was made the occasion by the Chinese Government of threatening demonstrations against that settlement. In a despatch dated 6th May, 1839, Captain Elliot wrote to Lord Palmers- ton:-"The safety of Maçao is, in point of fact, an object of secondary moment to the Portuguese Government, but to that of Her Majesty it may be said to be of indispensable necessity, and most particularly at this moment ;" and he urged upon his Lordship "the strong necessity of concluding some immediate arrangement with the Government of His Most Faithful Majesty, either for the cession of the Portuguese rights at Macao, or for the effectual defence of the place, and its appropriation to British uses by means of a subsidiary Convention." Happily for the permanent interests of British trade in China this suggestion came to nothing, and Great Britain found a much superior lodgment at Hongkong.
The unfortunate homicide of a Chinaman in a riot at Hongkong between British and American seamen and natives precipitated events, and in view of the measures taken by the Chinese in reference to Macao, Captain Elliot felt that he ought no longer to compromise the safety of that settlement by remaining there, He accordingly left for Hongkong on the 24th August, 1839, Mrs. Elliot and her

child having previously embarked. It was hoped that his
