had been such that she could not be placed
in the home of the society, nor be sent to
the home of any respectable family, and

AT PEKIN'S GATE.
japanese Warships Have ar
rived Off the Port of Taku.
Fate OF the Ancient Citadel Should
Its Investment Begin.

TIEx-TsIN. March 21.-Four Japanese
warships have arrived at Taku and arc
searching vessels there for articles con-
traband of war.
Important as was the capture Of Wei
Hal Wei and Port Arthur from strategic
point of view, they cannot be said to form
q part of the roal defenses Of Pekin. The
Pei-ho is the principal highway TO the
Chinese capital from the sea.
Across it's mouth, some miles out In the
sca, is q sandbar, known by the name OF
Lau- Kiang-Sha. Even at high tide the
average depth of water there is only IL
feet, and at low tide the water Is often
not more than one or two feet deep.
Two formidable looking forts guard the
mouth Of the Pei-ho. These arc the Ia
NOUS Taku forts that repulsed the Eng
lish fleet i'm 1862 and were taken In 1850 by
an attack from the rear They stand close
TO the hie n water and rise to the height OF
20 feet. They are constructed OF earth,
ard faced with a kind of cement. krupp
guns constitute their chief armament.
The south fort, which lines the right
bank OF the river for half mile, Is about
twice the size of the north fort, on the
opposite bank. Besides these there are
earlhworks farther up the river and u
shore battery absut two miles from the
south fort.
The garrison of these forts consists OF
81, 900 troops, thoroughly drilled by Ger
man Instructors, and commanded by oiii-
GERS who have received their military
training in England or Germany. lt Is TO
be added that the channel OF the Pel-ho Is
honeycombed with torpedoes, which render
the passage up the river by hostile fleet
next TO impossible.
The strategicai Value of Taku
is enormous. IL the Japanese could sue
cccd In reducing it, their way would at
onco be opened up to Tien- Tsin, and
thence to the capital, Pekin, which is only
about 100 miles distant from the mouth
Of the river.
At Pekin itself, formidable in appear
ance as the ancient fortiflcations are. ade-
auate as they doubtless were TO withstand
the onslaughts of ahorde of maurauding
nomads, armed with bows and arrows
be able to offer but a very feeble
resistance TO the attack of the we'll
disciplined force, armed with mod
ern ordnance, by which they are now
threatened; and even the genius of Major
Won IIanneken, admittedly able officer as
he is, under whose auspices the fortiilca-
tions of Pekin are now being strength
ened as rapidly and effectively rs may be-
will scarcely serve TO more than postpone
for very brief space the inevitable fall OF
this ancient citadel when once its invest
