The Sis She Could Fiursjî Iâ fe 0) TIhe possibility thiat China may bide witi Sîamn in the latter couintry's dispute witi France, bas lent muciih interest to the ques. tionr of her preeent niaval capabilities. Nîno years ago she was beeten, by France with great ease, and one of bier moatE important squadrons wam completeiy used up by Ad« mirai. Courbet in th e egagement of Min ~Rivèr. The French did not need to put ont their full strength, but truirnpheý(,dby appli. aubes whiceh cost them very littie loss oz exertion. Tbey usefi their to-rpedo boats te a large extent for blowing up the Chinese war ships, mowed dovru their crews with Hotchkiss revolving cannon, and captured many of the batteries along the river, de, stroying the cannon with gun cotton. Sons, forts they lef t intact, simply because tbey would not expose their own men to a heavy musketry fire. There and at Sheipoo ti __ Frenchi caused a terrible s1aughter with th"* most busînesslike and-economical use o their own forces ; and the utter inferioritj of her own navy was most disheartening te the ILiddle Kingdom. But during the last ninTe or ten yeael China bas made a d1ecid!ed avance i er navy. She bad, indeed, a1ready begun te establish a stron.g naval force heforeç the war of 1884.0fcusterisroopai son between ber fleet and thbe splendid one of France; but FOR PEFENSIVE FURPOSES, at a long distance from the base of the lattez country, and with the aid afforded hy shal. low or eàsily obstructed rivers, it îa worts considering. At ail events, it wouldl be au~ Pnormous addition to the weke S iam., British dockyards bave fiirnishetliwb'nny war vessels te China. Among ,the,, earlies(f were a number of gunboats of 130tons dispiacement, which were alniost the foun' dation of ber navy.

Stettin bas also provided many m rodersl steel war vesseis for China. The Vulcar 'Building Company furnished two croisera ol a~bout fifteen kuots, carryîng two 8-inch and eight 4ý-inch Armstrong gunis.
