Port Dalny, on Tailen bay on the
east coast of the Lao Tung peninsula,

commercial emporium of it's eastern

ton was issued by the Russian En-

fully equipped with all molern i'm
provcments. docks, warehouses and
railroad facilities, was opened to COM
merce in December, 1901.
Tailenwan bay is one of the finest
deep water harbors on the Pacific. 1t
is free from ice in winter and ships
drawing 80 feet of water can enter at
low tide without difficulty and without
the aid of pilots can sail or steam
alongside the immediate docks and
piers where their cargocs can be load
ed into railroad cars and run direct for
5000 miles into the city of St. Peters
burg.
Five large piers had been construct
ed, each supplied with numerous rail-
road tracks and immense warehouses
and elevators, gas, electric lights ana
water, and large breakwater was be-
ing constructed so that ships could lie
at the piers and load and unload re-
gardless of weather. Docks for foreign
vessels, steam and sail, extended be
tween the piers and along the shore
for two miles. There We're two hrst-
class dry docks, one intended for ordl-
nary ocean steamers and the other de-
signed to accommodate the largest YES
sells of war or commerce..
over $4,000. 900 had been expended on
the harbOr system before the end Of
1902 and it was estimated that the cost
of completing the works would he
nearly S20,000,00O, but this does not in
amy way represent the total cost of the
erection Of this great commercial port,
which with Port Arthur. distant about
30 miles, WAS leased by the Chinese
government to Russia i'll 1898.
Japan has hithertofOre furnished the
bulk Of the coal imported at Port Dali
ny, Russia the cement and Kerosene
and the United States the timber and
flour. 1t has been reported recently
however, that the new Russian mills
at Hardin would soon be in position
to compete strongly with the United
States for the flour trade.
Provisions for Port Dalny We're OBJ
tanned from Shanghai and other points
in the Far East. Dalny, which is the
southern terminus of the Chinese East
crn railroad and the headquarters of
the company may be said to have been
constructed by that company under the
direction of NJ. Wife, until recently
Russian minister of finance and now
president of the council of ministers.
Nearly $4,000 men We're employed daily
on the work of constructing the port
and town.
The total population has been estimat-
ed at about 5000, mostly Chinese, Jap
anese, COreans and Russians. The En-
pcror in the decree of July, 1S9, defined
the conditions upon which the port WAS
to be opened to foreign trade. first of
which was the right to import and eX-
port merchandise of every description
free of customs duties.
