NOTES FROM WELHAIWEL.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
WEWE, December 16th.
ROAD MAKING. A visitor to Weihaiwei at the present time would find evidences of considerable activity in the direction of road-making. Whether he
was wending his way along the coast road, that
leads, now up, now down, to Half Moon Bay or whether he proceeded along the highway which sweeps in a more dignified curve by Narcissus Bay to the Flagstaff, he would find some hundreds of coolics engaged in the gentle art of road-construction. A year ago the e toads were made; they are being made again to-day which intimates clearly enough, even to the unitiated layman, that the roads as
perated by the Northern Pacific Steamship originally constructed were not equal to the The destroyer Company, and will constitute the Tran Pcific strain they have been put te
