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 Haiphong-Hanoi-Langson railway, which after twelve years' assiduous work, was completed early in 1902, is extended to Lungchow; for the present, this extension is abandoned. Telegraphic communication exists with Canton and other places down the West River, with Mêngtzŭ in Yunnan, vid Po-sê, and with places in Tonkin. The Imperial Post Office sends daily couriers to Langson in Tonkin and couriers every five days to Nanning with connections to Canton and Pakhoi. An establishment of the Imperial Maritime Customs is maintained here. The net value of the trade coming under the cognisance of the Foreign Customs for 1902 was Tls. 77,059 against Tls. 164,494 for 1901, and Tls. 132,510 for 1800. The astonishing decrease in the figures for 1902, is almost entirely due to the large quantity of Aniseed Oil imported during the previous years, while not a single catty was reported to the Customs in 1902.
