NANKING

869

Tls. 22,995,766 in 1918. A grand industrial exhibition-the first of its kind in China- was held in 1910, the principal buildings being devoted to liberal arts, foreign exhibits, agriculture, fine arts, education, Chinese exhibits from foreign countries, a model hospital and an arsenal.

Nanking was the scene of much fighting in the revolutionary campaign during October and November, 1911. The whole city was occupied by the revolutionaries in the early days of December, the Tartar City was sacked and burnt, and Nanking became the seat of the Provisional Government with Dr. Sun Yat-sen as President. Here the Republican Constitution was drawn up and promulgated, and the Revolutionary leaders sought to make Nanking the capital of the Republic. In July, 1913, a military outbreak occurred which rapidly developed into an armed rebellion against the Central Government, and from the 15th August until the 1st September the city, until it capitulated to the Government troops, was under a severe bombard- ment. All of Hsia-kuan was burnt, and Nanking was looted. Advantage has been taken of the destruction of Hsia-kuan to widen the existing streets and build new ones, and the Chinese are showing, to the fullest extent, their wonderful powers of recupera- tion from catastrophes that would seem fatal elsewhere in the world. The population of Nanking and its suburbs is estimated to be 392,838.
