Your correspondent had the privilege Of visiting the Tuchun's yamen. This contains a number of foreign and Chinese buildings. Smart-looking troops guarded the doors and gates and presented an excellent appearance as compared with the slovenly type that one meets so often elsewhere. No mention will be made of the interior of the yamen of General Lu, but suffice it to say that everything is clean-lines and order. A_ place for everything and everything in its place, is one of General Lu's mottoes.
There are other improvements made which did not come to the notice of your correspondent in his brief visit, and there are many which need be. and will in due course be, carried out. But General Lu in these four years has enforced improvements which deserve the highest commendation.
