Mails from Tientsin, Liu Kung Tau and

„VORI,ILTqA .d18

Chefoo are sent from Chefoo through the Russian Post Office at

that Port. There is a frequent though irregular service from

Chefoo to Vladivostock and time is saved by sending direct from

Chefoo and not via Shanghai. This method is also followed by

the Imperial German Post Office at Tientsin.

3.

The outward mails are received either

(1) from Vladivostock direct by ship of the

E. A. Company and taken over by the Shanghai Agents from the

Company's Office at Shanghai.

(2) by steamer from Vladivostock to Tsuruga

thence by rail to Nagasaki and from Nagasaki to Shanghai by

steamer usually Japanese. These mails are taken over by our

Agent from the Japanese Post Office, Shanghai.

(1) is the quicker.

4.

I hear from the Shanghai Postmaster that the

number of letters from the Northern Agencies excluding Tientsin

mail

is small. The Shanghai is growing the despatch on March 2nd.,
