When Gov. Gen. Trepoff of ST. Pc

COW, before the establishment of the
state liquor monopoly, he was told
from the highest quarters to suppress
the orgies at popular resorts in the

raided the principal restaurants after
midnight and the next morning Gen
Trepoff asked of his august master di

one occasion he had promised col

forthcoming. The publisher went
hunting for him and found him at a
seaside hotel enjoying time of abso-

Liaoyang was captured and made the
capital, and seventy other cities
promptly surrendered.
In 1644 the Manchus, risen to great
power, marched into China and placed
one of their own on the throne OF that
government, and Manchu has ruled
there ever since. In the eighteenth
century Mukden rose to great com
mercial and political importance. but
by the time of the opening OF the
nineteenth century, through causes
largely due to the decay OF the Man
chu dynasty, the city declined IN I'M
portance, and when the Russians be-
gan their active control OF the com
munity, after the iChinese-Japanese
war of 1894, they found 1t a place or
squalor, filth and disease.

The sacred tombs has been pre-
served, but the city was almost iso-
lated from the world; its people indo-
lent, careless, out of touch with the
world The Russians made 1t a base
of commercial and military supplies,
introduced some modern methods OF
sanitation and proposed to make 1t
the halfway station between Port Ar
thur and Harbin.

them it may be their northern ter

nate, although in all probability, when
it comes to making the final treaty,
they will dominate far to the kuang-
chang-tsu district. Aside from the
Russian population 80 per cent OF the
inhabitants OF Mukden are Chinese.
The only language taught in the city
schools is Chinese. The Japanese
probably will introduce entirely mod
ern methods of education and com
