Character of {Tientsin-
At Tientsin the great Viceroy
Yuan Shih Kai, duringh is viceroyalty (at Tientsin)
(1901-7) eclipsing all the efforts of his famous pre-
decessor Li Hung Chang, won the universal respect
of foreigners, both by his humane and progressive
administration and also by such simple means as
entertainments given on a large scale at the
viceregal yamen to Chinese and foreigners, when
representatives of all nationalities are present, as on
such occasions as the Emperor's birthday celebration.

Cross the bridge over the Pei Ho, and pass
the Viceroy's Yamen, and out on the Viceroy's Road.
To the left may be seen the smoke-stacks of the
Viceroy's Mint. A little farther on, you may notice
a camel-back bridge over the Lu T'ai Canal. Then
comes the the Educational Board compound, the Ho
Nan Guild Hall, the Imperial Government Mint and
the Marconi Station, all on the right, also the
residence of Col. Munthe. A short distance farther
brings us to the City Railroad Station.
