PEKING

775

The question of high houses in Peking is for ever settled by the erection of a two- storied residence by Prince Su, and three large blocks of similar buildings for the Col- lege of Languages by the Government. The private telegraph line from Peking via Tientsin to Taku, which was provided by Mr. Poulsen, the owner, before Peking was relieved, viz., from Tientsin to Taku, and which was immediately extended to Peking on the relief of the Legations, was handed over to the Imperial Chinese Telegraph Adminis- tration on Oct. 1st, 1905. The line was used by the Generals and Ministers in Peking during 1900-1 for transmission to Taku of their dispatches to be forwarded thence by cable to all parts of the world, the Chinese line having been destroyed. On the Chinese rebuilding their line Mr. Poulsen converted his line into an inter-town telephone line, the first in China, and introduced the telephone system into Tientsin and Peking. When the Chinese Government started their system Mr. Poulsen sold his line to them.
