We are accustomed to think of the French as being more concerned, to make their colonies look prosperous sid picturesque to the stranger, than to fill them with colonista and to see that they do prosper. But the Russians seem to outdo them in this respect, at any rate in the beautifying of their towns. In the old Portuguese and Dutch colonics there may

marry women of the country and so help to make the forts and factories permanent, appealed to later comers, both Portuguese and Dutch, and the houses built have all a trace of the alliance about them. Goa, Macao, and bits of the old settlements of Javs, suggest old, provincial towns in Portugal or the Netherlands. But that is not the way with the Russians. Their buildings seem to assert that every new settlement is intended to be a capital

Vladivostock was founded only fifty years ago and for more than twenty years it remained no more than a military post. It was 1838 before the Provincial Ad- ministration of the Primorsk, or mari- time, Province, was established, and a year later Vladivostock was declared a fortress of the second rank, but it had also-

business with Korea and Manchuria. The construction of the Ussuri and Chinese Eastern Railways still further contributed to its prosperity and commercial enter- prises were started which surprise the foreigner visiting Vladivostock for the first time. The war and the subsequent naval and military emerge did an enormous amount of damage, direct and indirect, but with the restoration of law and order and the help of the tres port the improvement was again extraordinary | and the future of the town seemed assured. It has an advantageous, position and ample harbour accommodation in the Zolotoi Hog, the Golden Horn, one of the finest bays in the world. The chief thoroughfare, the Svetlanskaya, would attract notice anywhere. It skirts the shore of the Golden Horn and is paved with granite. There are three or four. theatres, a cirens, clubs, & city park, several hotels, an Oriental Institute for the study of Eastern languages, a Board of Trade or Bourse Committee, a number of middle schools, barracks, a gigantic prison, all of thom buildings which show that an immense amount of money has heen lavished on the place.. Vladivostock suggests to all visitors Europe and a Euro- pean city more than almost any other

horses and carriages seen on the streets would do credit to a city of half a million inhabitants and the pace suggests nothing so much as a stadium race.

Government and therefore has had to change its name a good many times. It is a peculiarity of the Russian press law that it is much less draconic than it seems to be. There are a great many suppres sions" of newspapers, but except in very extreme cases this simply means that the name of the paper disappears and it comes out again at the earliest possible oppor: tanity under an altogether new name, but with no other change exempt perhaps the caution of experience. It is curious that of many European languages which he knows, Mr. Garfield is least fluent in Eng- Fish. The editor of the other chief paper is M. Panoff, who is widely known as the greatest authority on Eastern Siberia. His paper, the Dalny Fastok, from the first opposed the Russian occupation of Port Arthur, and prophesied disaster from this ill-starred adventure, which was a flagrant threat both to Japan, and China. He is now equally energetic, in denouncing the policy which has converted Vladivostock from a free into a closed port. The inauguration of the customs at Vladivo stock is likely to be very disastrous to that port. Dairen, as the Japanese now cath Dalny, is the great rival and the extra two hundred verats in distance to the peninsular port from Harbin might turn the scales in favour of Vladivostock. It is true that there is a customs establish- ment at Dairen as well as at the Russian port, but the methods are quite different. At Vladivostock the fundamental prin- ciple is the actual Inspection of goods, whereas the Chinese customs requires no more than payment ad valorem on the invoice. The delays and formalities at Vladivostock will more than extinguish the advantage of the shorter milenge. M. Panoff calls this policy of driving away freight from Russia's own line and trans- ferring it to the South. Manchurian absolutely suicidal and equivalent to a subsidy to the Japanese Dairen. Dairen. has the initial advantage of being closer to a populous country! The maritime province has great possibilities, but it has
