THE NEW CHINESE GUN BOATS.
The Chinese do not rely entirely
upon their own dGckyards and con-
structors. In addition to the fleet
of native production they have re-
Gently had constructed in England
series of gunboats of tho latest
types, armed with the most improved
and heaviest guns. They have four
built by Sir William Armstrong, of
only 400 tons displacement each, but
each carrying So ton guns Of the
British service pattern. The mount.
ing Of these guns, says Chief Engi'
ncer King, on vessels of only 400
tons displacement, was most daring

comes more apparent when we re.
member that the only guns Of the
same weight and calibre then aholt,
were those in the fore turret of the
great British ship Thunderer, a YES.
sci of over nine thousand tons dis
placement. These vessels are of
iron and they J! made successful
passages to China, two being deliv-
cred at Foochow in 1876 and two at
Tientsin in 1873. But the Chinese
did not stop with the construction
of these four boats. Four more,
built on the Tyne by the same firm,
each armed with 35 ton gun Of the
Armstrong new type, sailed from
England in July 1879 This new
type of gun while it greatly reduces
the weight Of metal has a superiority
over all other guns which is obtained
by the marvellous charges of powder
they burn, these being 235 pounds,
or 35 pounds more than the heaviest
experimental charges which have yet
been fred from the British service

board the Dreadnaught. This new
gun has superior velocity and en-
ergy, also greater range at given
elevations, which is of great moment
in naval gun where a man of. war
is required to lombard a town of
high elevation, or reach an enemy
escaping into shallow waters.
1t will thus be seen that China,
the "effete" nation of the East, but
just entered into the race between
the modern naval powers, has al
ready put to sea more powerful guns
than has any other nation on the
globe, for the English InAexible and
the Italian Duillo carrying so and
100 ton guns respectively, are not
yet ready for service, while the heav-
lest guns now mounted ahoat by the
French, Germans and Russians, burn
smaller charges and have less power
than the guns on board these gun
boats. In addition to these ''armed

THE RESULT OF \ CONFLICT WITH
CHINA.
Let us suppose for an instant that
the great Chinese nation, IL nation of
three hundred millions of people,
should resent the indignities put
upon her people by the hoodlums of
tho Pacific Coast, and demand that
every provision of the Burlingame
treaty should be fulfilled 10 the let
ter, and that her subjects should be
admitted on American soil on terms
OF the same equality given to all
other aliens. How could we resist

thc SuluCsC WIZ arc uhuSh'"S'y
thrifty and frugal.
This ontcry and persecution OF the
Chinese is no new thing in our his
try; forty years ago the same out
cry WAS raised against the Irish, and
fearful riots in Boston and New
York were the consequence. Those
hordes of wild bog trotters we're i'm.
ported to work on our canals and
railroads, and the same senseless
outcries were raised against them as
are now used against the Chinese:
They would ruin the poor white
American laborer; they would breed
pestlence bv their filthy habits, and
breed famine in the land by their
utter shiftlessness and prodigality."
But the Irish came, and the country
still lives; and now these very Irish,
which caused the formation Of the
know nothing and native American
parties, are themselves the most bit.
ter in their denunciatons of the
Chinese. Foreigners themselves, as
soon as they acquired right of citi-
zenship, and thousands of them even
before they had legally done so, they
sought to be our lawmakers and
rulers; PEOPLE who never could
govern themselves at home, came to
America and sought to govern us,
and now are the noisiest in debating
what foreigners shall or shall not be
permitted the same privileges which
they enjoy. Our naturalization laws,
see Sec. 2l69 Revised Statutes u.
s., make special mention of negroes
in these words: "The provisions of
this title shall apply to aliens of Al
rcan nativity and to persons of At
rcan descent" BY this provision,
the wild negroes from the coast of
Guinea, or the still wilder hordes of
the interior, can become citizens and
voters. The party Of intelligent ma
tives who followed Stanley through
his journeyings, or the king of Da-
honey with his huDdred wives, can
become American citizens if they
wish, which the educated, intelli.
gent, and order abiding Chinaman
must forsooth be kept out.
Who are these Chinese, and what
is the nation we are so ruthlessIv
setting at defiance, and what do they
amount to ? are questions which the
senseless mob, whose only knowl-
edge of Chinaman is as a cook, or
a clothes. washer, have never asked.
In most valuable work just pub.
lished by A. Williams Il Co., of Bos-
ton, entitled "Thc war ships and
navies of the world, by j. w. King,
chief engineer U. S. Navy" is a full
description of the Chinese navy.
Mr.. King says: SIT is a mistake to
regard the Chinese as an etfete ma
ton, net to be reckoned as factor
in international problems. The old
military instincts Of the mingled
Monkol, Tartar and Chinese races,
the same races which under Genghis
Khan and his successors held sway
over the whole Of Asia from the Yel-
low sea to the Mediterranean, and
founded the great Mogul empire in
India, are not lost, and the marvel
lous resuscitation of China during
the last eighteen years, which has
been the theme of all observers, is
nowhere more apparent than in the
development Of her military and
naval strength" MIR. King gives an
account of the extensive dockyards
and naval workshops at Shanghai
and Foochow, and of great and ex-
tensive arsenals, which shows how
wonderfully and extensively the
Chinese have increased the efficiency
