CHEFOO
between the guild and the contractor. Chefoo is an important port of call for large numbers of regular line and tramp steamers, being in the line communcation between Indian, South China, Japanese, Corean and Manchurian ports and the ports north. During the season from March to December as many as thirty to forty steamers per day often enter and clear the port. The cable and telegraph offices with chambers for employes, are the most substantial and imposing buildings of the kind in China, excepting the Shanghai buildings now in course of construction. The port supplies Vladivostock and Siberia with upwards of one hundred thousand coolies annually; the coolies leave for Vladivostock during the spring months and those returning reach Chefoo in the latter part of the year. This movement of coolies furnishes business for numbers of steamers.
The peace treaty between Japan and China was concluded in the Beach Hotel.
