MUKDEN

mound and funeral hall are enclosed within a high wall pierced by one large gateway which holds three arched portals, and the avenue of approach is spanned by two lofty stone arches elaborately sculptured. Two massive couchant lions guard the portal. There are many other objects of Manchu historical interest in the town and its vicinity. Accommodation for foreign visitors is at present very limited. There is a sinall hotel kept in semi-foreign style by Chinese called the Hai Tien Chun. Recently two small hotels in foreign style have been opened inside the city- the Astor House and Manchurian Hotel. There is also a semi-foreign hotel kept by Japanese situated close to the Railway station.

Mukden has long been an important centre of missionary activity. The terms upon which the town is opened to international trade had not been definitely settled up to the time of the publication of this volume. The Chinese wish to confine foreign merchants, as regards residence and trade, to a certain area outside the west gate near the railway station. This has not been agreed to by the Treaty Powers concerned, and Japanese and other foreign merchants are residing and trading within the town. Two vernacular newspapers are published in the city, the Sheng King Shih Poo and the Tung Sun Sheng Kung Pao. The four principal streets of the town are being macadamised and a good road has been made to the railway station; great improvements also are being made in police and sanitary measures as well as in the repairs of Government buildings and the walls of the town.
