THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1894.
THE CITY OF PING-YANG.
Description of tha Place in Korea
Where the Japanese Have Won Their
Signal Victory.
From the New York Herald
Ping-Yang, or, as it is more correctly
spelt. Ping-An, is the capital of the Ko
rean province called Ping-An Do, is sit
uated upon the Da-Toug (Ta-Tong), or
Ping-An river, about fifty miles froid its
mouth It location makes it a natural
stronghold. The river is. next to tho
Yalu, on the north, which separates Ko
rea from China, the most imjiertant
waterway of the country, and a number
of considerable towns and villages are
situated w itliin its basin. It has been de
scribed as the Rubicon of Korean history,
and at several periods anciently was the
boundary river between China and Korea,
or of the rival kingdoms into which, in
olden limes, the Korea ot to-day was di
vided. For a period of ten centuries, dat
iuL- from aliout the commencement of the
( hristian era, Ping-An was a royal seat.
In the remote past it has many times
been besieged by both Japanese and Chi
nese armies, and many decisive battles
have been fought in its viciuity.
AMERICANS MURDERED TIIERE.
The murder of the crew of the Gen.
Sherman, an American schooner, in 18fiti,
took place on the Da-Tong river, not far
from Ping-An. This occasioned the dis
patch in InTI of the L’nited States naval
expedition, under Admiral Kodgcrs,
which ended ignominiously. The gamsa,
or governor, of Ping-An Do resides at
Ping-An. The province was shown by
the last census to contain '293.400 bouses,
ami to have 174,53 b men capable of bear
ing arms.
The peqple of this province are more
aggressive and turbulent in character
than those of the southern provinces.
They are said to be not very loyal to the j
reigning dynasty, and the government is I
constantly apprehensive of revolutionary |
outbreaks among them. While this is |
especially true of the Ping-An province j
it equally applies to the people of the >
ad.oining province on the south, Whang-
Hai Do.
Ping-An is reported to be very rich in
the precious metals and in minerals, but
the mining of gold aud silver is prohibited
by the gt neral government.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT CITY.
Another very important city of this
providence is Ai-Cliin. or Ai-Chow (also
written Yi-Chow, Wi-Chow, aud A-Saui.
it is the nearest Korean town to the
Chinese frontier, and the gateway of the
kingdom. It is situated on a hill iJap
auese "san") overlooking the noble Yalu,
or Ap Nuk river, which is easily naviga
ble lor junks as far up as Chan-Son, a
noted trading place, sixty miles from the j
mouth of the river. Yalu means “dragon's i
windings." and refers to the sinuous
cornse of the river; Ap Nok describes its
deep green color.
What was until a few years ago a "No
Man's Land" stretched along the further
bank of the Yalu, in Chinese territory.
It was known as the Neutral Territory,
and though highly fertile, was laid waste
by the Korean government two or three
centuries avo. and its cities ra<ed to the
ground to prevent its further occupation
by Chinese outlaws and bandits, with
which it was long infested. It is now
Chinese territory. Fifty miles beyond
the Korean frontier is Pier* Mun, "the
Border Gate," where a great inter
national fair was wont to be held three or
four times a year.

Perils of the Florida Reefs.
Lieut. Preston H. I’ferrott in lllue and Gray.
The most dangerous part of the coast of
the l nited Stales extends from the south
ernmost cape of the peninsula of !■ lochia
to the island of ! >ry Tortugas. lTingitt the
tiulf of Mexico, sixty two miles from Key
West. For a distance of lion miles the
i oast line is here mafic up of a semi-circu
lar chain of islands, along whose scan ard
edge lie the sunken reefs of Florida
These r< cfs are of coral formation, and
are washed by tho warm water of tho
Gulf stream as it liuws through the
straits on its way northward. This"river
in the ocean, flowing always in one direc
tion, with an average velocity of two
miles an hour, produces numerous strong
counter currents and indraughts over tho
reel's and along shore. Threatening tide
rips, eddies and whirlpools are continu
ally set going, which tend to baffle the
ever cautious mariner and carry his ship
to certain destruction.
I ape Hatteras, with its fickle currents
and shifting bars, so dreadful to the
mariner, has been the scene of many ship
wrecks. hut the number is small when
compared to those which have met their
fate in the Gulf stream and beyond the
pale of assistance. Hundreds of vessels
daily pass through the Florida straits on
their way to foreign ports and those
which are located on the shore of the
gulf, and, in order to avoid the adverse
currents, vessels skirt along the edge of
the stream and the long arid roof, with
its succession of varied dangers, menac
ingly paving the way like teeth in a
shark’s jaws.
However uncertain the navigation of
the waters adjacent to these reefs may be
by day, it becomes tenfold more hazard
ous by night. Notwithstanding the fact
that a chain of lights on the desolate reefs
cast a ruddy glare to the mariner on the
sea, yet "plain sailing” is out of ttie ques
tion, for the beacons are at an average
distance of twenty-five miles apart, and,
all other day-marks being hidden by the
darkness of night, the navigator feels his
way with only the compass and deep-sea
lead to guide hint. The consciousness
that a slight divergence from the proper
course may lead to disaster, keeps him on
the pins and needles of anxiety, ships
have run upon these coral strands in
broad daylight, owing to strong in
draughts, and it is by no means an un
common occurence to find at daybreak
several vessels, which had lost their reck
oning in tlie night, lying high and dry on
the rocks.
Savannah's Prosperity.
From the Llthonla lUa.) New Era
\Vhilo the whole country has been suf
fering lrom tho financial panic which is
now about over, it seems that Savannah
has escaped unhurt, in fact sho has
prospered notwithstanding tho "hard
times.”
The Moknino News' trade review of
last week makes a spleudid showing for
Savannahs business. During Hie past
year the increase in business in that city
was it 5,500,000, there being an increase in
all branches of trade, with the exception
of lumber. Savannah is forging to the
front rapidly, and she will continue to
build up wonderfully during the comiug
year.
