yard and shipbuilding:: plant there,

Prince Tsai Tao came to the Uni
ted States last spring with royal
military commission to study the
army, and went on around the world
studying other big armies He was
given a swift pace in the United
States, and as he sailed for Europe
he said that although his visit was
a delightful reality, he had exper-
iencei sort of nightmare of rush
ing about as in an air-ship and being
fed from all sides, awake and asleep,
with not much time for sleep.
Prince Tsai Hsun is more import
ant parsonage than his brother, who
proceeded him, so the American Gov
ernment and the Chinese Legation
will outdo themselves on this occa-
sion. Not more important because
he represents the navy as compared
with the army for the Chinese Army
is already many times bigger than the
American Army, and there is no real
navy yet. Prince Hsun is the second
eldest brother of the house of Tsa /,
the elder brother being the Prince Re-
gent and father of the Emperor.
