It lies to the eaetotCheefoo, in thetertfle province of Shantnng. on the southern'shoresot the golf at Peehili. Like Cheetoo, it possesses a large harbor, but the water is, as a rule, deeper than at Cheeioo. Regarded as a naval station, Wei-Hai-Wei is particularly I favored by nature. It is well sheltered cn . all sides. A large island lying to the l north-east of the town detends the shipping from the winds in that dirt chion. ' the only breczas to whfch it is in any way exnosed. The mountains which skirt the ' coast oi Shantung htra send out two Iroczy spurs into the sea, which curve 3 round from opposite directions in such a , manner as to leave between them a suffi- 5ciently wide entrance to the harbour ~ within. . strong guns oncissppearing carriage-I, and u there are about ‘hlrty-flve heavy Krupp ' guns.

Thus, Wei- Hai-Wei has‘ been rendered practically impregnable both by nature and by. art. A sprclal advantage wh’ch the herJour possesses is that it can sometimes' he entered during the winter, when other. northern ports are closed by ice and on edty th this account the place is regard Chinese as possessin exce t anal value. 8 P Wei-Hsi- Wei is a walled city of consider- able size, so large, in fact. that a few years ago there were many fields within the city walls under cultivation. This is a charac- teristic of many Chinese citits, Nankin. ‘ “the southern capital," being anothtr ‘ example. In the nor-hwest earner of We’- 1 ' Hai-Wci there is a hill on wh'ch there a“ e ‘ several famous temples. The number cf inhabitants is not commensurate with the area cf the city, and the shops are very interior. The west gate is in a good state of repair, but the other tea are all in a very dilapidated oondit on and some are closed alto ther. The distr ct surroundir. g Wei Hal Wei is populous. and the people ire generally weil-to-do. A good deal or silk is made in the country round about, the§produoe oi silk worms, which are fed not on mulberry leaves, but on the leaves of :he oak shrubs which cover the hills surrounding Wei- Hai-Wei, This kind of silk is also made in J apav, and is called Yamabai. I! the Japanese take Wei-Hoi-Wei the immediate result will be the disappearance of the Chinese navy from the northern waters of the empire. The navy is first t‘y shattered as it is, and with no safe har- tour at hand in which to take refuge when necessary the remaining ships would find it impossible to continue their presence in the Gulf of Pechiii. J APANESE RETICENT. Landon, D-c. 30.h.â€"A despateh to The Central News from Tokio says that, with a view of maintaining discipline and pacitying the district of Lie Tong, Field Marshal Ovama has established a civil administration at Kinchow similar to that established at Antong by the cammander cf the first army. The administration at Kinchow has been in tpsration since Dec. 16. The Japanese government has made no response to the fresh suggestions from the British government that the terms upon which Japan is willing to treat for peace with China ought to be communicated to the powers. 0n the c antral-y, the Japanese have persisted in maintaining a policy of reticence. The British minister at Tokio has been unable to get the slightest scrap of official information upon the subject of the conditions for which Japan will con- tenp, and the Ja nese embassy in London is equally secret ye. The latter, it is true, hes some knowledge of the situation, but it is part1 ot a negative and partly of a positive eter. The embassy is free, however, in dissrediting the recent siblegrams attributing to J span the design cf forcing an alliance with China against the Eurepen powers. The leading principle of the peace negotiations bet ween the two eastt rnpmpires,‘ as far as Japan is , L _L__LIAâ€" t..- bun ”WUUGDU‘Auw-nar _._ -V concerned, will be a total abstention from i any demand which would give China an 1 excuse to act fer European intervention. 1 Japan, therefore, will not stipulate for any 7 territorial or commercial acquisitions in i which the other powers are dirrctly interested. Formosa will be taken by J :1an as part of a pledge for war indem- nity, and certain Chinese ports that are not treaty ports will be held as a pledge for the remainder of the indemnity, together with such alien upon the Chinese customs as will not prejudice the customs revenue alreadg mortgaged. In regard to Corea, it is pro able that a China-Japanese dual control over that country will ‘be Er: posed. These terms which aredivuhged y the J spanese embassy are a at eal more moderate than those descr bed in the ‘ sensational cable received here from Tokio and elsewhere, and have the stamp cf belief in diplomatic circles. A Central News despatch from Pekin says that L'.u Kun Y], Viceroy of Liang K'ang, has been appointed to the chief command of all the Chinese form 5, ousting Li Hung Chang. .

South seas as a. skipper of a. little trading! vessel. His fortune csnsiatod (f n advazca from the owners. the clothes on ‘ his back and in his kit, his stout arms and ‘ his good hard sense. Now this Irishman. no longer yhung, is a money prircs at the tropics, easily a. millionaire, and the vixtual owner of a tight little South sen island or two, says the San Francisco Chronicle. Dmiel D. OKeefe is his nammsnd the islands cf Yap and $5. David, in the Caroline group. are pretty much his . you It , (f the largest islands (f the group, O'Keefe established the pioneer trading station. which has since become one of the st in the vicinity of the equator. At that time little was known it St. David's island, which was in 1 demo north latitude and .134 degrees ‘25 minutes east longtitude. OKeete in his ex lcra- t‘ons landed on the island. He toun only sixteen inhabitants left ’cut of a large tribe. The thrifty trader determined to, get possession of the island and extend his ‘ crpra interests. At: er a long investigation ‘ he discovered that England had a pigior claim to it by right of discovery. his was merely an obstacle to be cleared away, and OKeete promptlg pushed it aside. He went to Eoglan , and, it is said, succeeded in having his pmsession cf the island confirmed, the only stipulation being that he would care hr the natives. - O‘Keete kept that part oi the contract to ‘ the letter. He proceeded at once to build , a fort and then colonized the p‘ace bring- . ing natives from islands close by. He ' mounted some small cannon in the tort ' and armed the natives with rifles, in the :use of which be instructed them tuI-l . Then he drilled the :saldiers thoroughly ; the manual (f arms, so that he soon had a body of men capable of holding St. David inst all invaders Meanwhile O'Keete's I wife died. leaving him a daughter to rear. The trader sent is little daughter to her !grandpirents in Savannah, with instruc- ‘: tions to educate her in the best colleges in fthe land. A... ., -__._r_,.A Ci- nauifl a Elle lanu. Befcre O'Keeie acquired St. David a native woman ruled over the handful cf Inhabitants as a queen. She was a comely young person, and some time after the death of his wife the inder married her with due and prtper observance 0! South Sea marriage ceremony. All the while ‘Keefe did not overlook his intt rests in Yap. Many of the natives there were heavily in debt to him and they paid off their mortgages in ccpre. The trader gradually got control of the copra in the Carolines by these methods until he had {worked up a sort of cornrr in the sun- ; dried cocoanut. Many attempts have i been made lg San Francisco firms to g break his bol on the stock, but all have ; failed. OKeete went to Bong-Kong, i bought two more schoom rs and branched ‘ out still more 6 xtensive'y, securing control ‘ l of the copra for leagues around. He did: ' not hrget the companies which attempted , to break up his business, and when they ‘ sent vessels to trade in the Carolinee they had to buy copra to bring back to San ! Francisco, and they had to pay the price I he asked. I Hong Kong presented a good field for speculation to O'Keete, water-front lots 5 were selling cheap and he bought consid- !_ arable property there. It is said that ; to-day his possessions aggregate nearly *two-thirds of the harbor tront. Darin: the plague the O‘Keete district was one of . the worst plague spots.
