importance. A Naval College was opened there in 1890 for which a large pile of buildings was erected. A dozen teachers and instructors are employed, including three foreigners. The Nanking University was founded in 1888 by the Central China Mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and is now an imposing and well-appointed school, with a roll of 158 scholars. The Arsenal and Powder Mills, for many years in charge of foreigners, are now entrusted to native direction. They are situated just outside the South Gate. 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, a distance of eight miles. The carriages and jiurickshas 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, now that it has been opened to foreign trade, regain a degree of its lost prestige. The net value of foreign imports in 1899 was Tls. 662,024 and the net value of the trade of the port for the same year was Tls. 2,396,153.
