cEssloNs TO FOREIGN POWERS.
Territorial, Grants China Has Made

Territorial Grants China HIS Made
from Time to Time.
Each conflict in which China has en-
gagged has resulted in u loss of terri
tory. The principal cessions made by
the Mongol government as the price of
peace have been the following. The
island of ForMosa was coded to Japan
in 1895, after the war with China. In
1897 Germany seized the port of Kiou-
Chou on the east coast of the Shanttng
peninsula, her excuse for SO doing be-
ing IL massacre of missionaries which
had taken place there. Two months
later she received from China Il ninety
nilic-year lease of The port and dis
trict. In 1898 Russia obtained from
China a twenty-iivc-year lease of Port
Arthur. Talienwan and their adjacent
territories and waters. The lease can
be extended by mutual agreement. The
same year the Chinese government
gave permission for Great Britain TO
occupy Wei-uai-Wei for as long Il
period as Russia shall hold Port Ar-
thur. 10 compensate France for the
concessions given to Great Britain and

Nov the Chinesc un.,e Words.

Tile Chinese unite the words in a
name so that they form one word. just
as we write Newtown. Hartford, or
Deeriield. Sometimes We unite the
words in n Chinese name and some
times we separate them, but there is no
reason, for example, why we should
write .l'ien-Tsin when VIC 90 not write
Pe-Nin. Each of these names is COM
posed OF two words. Pc means "north'
and Kin means "tlie capital' or the
the Kings household" and thus Pc
kin means the northern capital. Iien
means "heavenly" and Tsin means
place" ana thus the name of the larg-
est city in northwest China means
'~rheavcnly place''-a name it has borne
for many centuries. When Marco Polo
visited the city in the thirteenth CEN
fury he translated its name into "Cltta
Ceieste."--Nc% York Sun.
