TIENTSIN

津天 Tien-tsin

Tientsin-or the Ford of Heaven, according to the Chinese meaning of its name may now well be called the commercial capital of North China. Situated at the junction of the Grand Canal and the Pei Ho in Lat. 39 deg. 4 min. N., Long. 117 deg. 4 min. E. (approx.), it is some 80 miles distant from Peking by road and somewhat further by - river. Railway connection with the capital was established in 1897, and most of the traffic between the two cities is now carried on by this means. The expeditions of the Allies in 1858-61 greatly enhanced the importance of the city, as it then proved to be the military key of the capital and an excellent base. It was here on June 26th, 1858, that Lord Elgin signed the treaty which was to conclude the war, but which unhappily led to its prolongation. The famous temple in which the treaty was signed, about a mile distant from the West gate, was destroyed by British shells in July, 1900,
