distribution costs. A deep seaway

bay of KiaoChau, and as to the pros
poets If a port were to be founded

officers OF the Russian China division.
which had come to our ears in our
intercourse with them, 1t was learned
that the Russian Admiral, in accord
ance with orders from his Government
had anchored one Winter in the bay,
but had found it so desolate and so
atrociously lonesome-there were no
tea-houses with Japanese geisa girls,
which the Russians deemed absolutely
indispensable to Winter quarters-that
the Russian squadron would never go
back there any more.
1t was also reported that the Rus
sian Admiral had advised his Govern
ment most earnestly against proseout.
ing any further its intention of found
ing a settlement on this bay, since
there was absolutely no advantage to
be derived from it. Hence, the Rus,
slams had no intention of gaining a
foothold there.
This last piece of news arrived at
about the same time as the answer
from the Russian Foreign Minister,
Count Muravieff, sent through the Ger
man Ambassador, relative to the
sounding of Russian opinion, which
had been made pursuant to instruc-
tons from the Chancellor Muravieff
set forth that Russia, to be sure, had
no direct claims, based on treaty with
China, to the bay. but that she, never
theless, laid claim to it on the basis of
the ''droit du premier mouillage"
| fright of first anchorage, since the
Russian ships had anchored there be
/ fore those of any other fleet This
answer, it will be seen, ran counter
to the report of our East Asiatic divi-
sion relative to the statements made
! by the Russian Admiral.
