KEWKIANG

Kiú-kiang
:
Kewkiang (now more generally written Kiukiang) is situated on the river Yangtsze near the outlet of the Poyang Lake, and is a prefectural city of the province of Kiang-si. It is distant about 142 geographical miles from Hankow and 454 miles from Shanghai. Kewkiang, before the Rebellion, was a busy and populous city; but it was occupied by the Taiping rebels in 1853, and before it was given up to the Imperial troops was almost entirely destroyed. When the Foreign Settlement was established there, how- ever, the population soon returned, and has continued to increase rapidly: it is now estimated at 60,000.
The city is built close to the river, along the banks of which the walls run for some 500 yards. Their circumference is about five miles, but a portion of the space enclosed is still unoccupied. The city contains no feature of interest. There are several large lakes to the north and west of it, and it is backed by a noble range of hills a few miles distant, aniong them being Kuling, sonie 3,600 feet high, which has become a well-known summer resort, especially of missionaries. The construction of a cable railway is in progress here. The foreign Settlement lies to the west of the city and is neatly laid out. It possesses a small bund lined with trees, a club, a small Protestant church, and a Roman Catholic cathedral. The filling-in of the public land at Pinhingchow is now completed. Roads and innumerable houses are being rapidly constructed, and thus a new residential and business district, close to but outside the city, is rapidly coming into being:
