Much discussion has taken place ds it the re iative values of other karbonks such as Wei-hat wei, Ta-lien-whan and Kyau Chan but none of the opinions elicited have in any degna shaken the claims of Port Arthur to be the Naval Stronghold of the North.

Unfortunately all commendation of His Excellancy's wisdom must stop there. It may. generally be remarked that in all one where The Viceroy does a thing by his own hand or through a competent responsible wear, the thing is well and wisely done; but where his deputes the execution of his policy to the Taotais that bang on to him he invariably makes & ridiculous "failure.

It was not vozy wise of the Viceroy to allow theso Yellow River cugineers to try their band at dock work, but the state of things at Port Arthur thzowa sa in- expooled light on some of the Yellow Riser pro- blem.
