In a double-leaded editorial, column
long. the New York Herald advises the
President to order the whole of our availa-
HE fleet to Chinese waters at once. because
of the threatened disturbance in China.
This sort Of advice sounds like sarcasm,
in view of the fact that our available fleet
,youIdn,t amount to much if it were in
chinese waters. The Herald sums up the
navy as follows:
:. The Richmond, fourteen guns; the
Fssex and Enterprise, Of siX guns each;
~ 4 sbuelot and Monocacy, two anti
o,,ated paddIe-wheel vessels, and dis
match boat. the PalOs, now, according to
the last naval register, constitute our
Asiatic squadron. To these ought TO be
,dded tho Few seawOrthy vessels which
W.. now have in the Mediterranean and on
the North and South Pacific stations, only
ten in all. and that without delay.
As a force for war purposes all these
sbfns combined would, Of course, amount
IN but little, and our monitors are incom-
retent Tor foreign service. But there are
Iar0e American interests in China which
nav at any moment, and at dozen diff
rorept points on that extensive coast,
need protection"
There are also a large number Of Ameri-
-, oitizens in China, but the little good
,bat our navy would do them would be
hardIv worth consideration. The threat
ened danger may not be so near as the
tgsroId thinks. The Secretary Of the Navy
had better nudge up John Roach and try
and have the new steel cruisers ready for
service al an early day.

Ii begins to look as if the War Depart
ment was responsible for the failure of
Lieutenant Darlington to leave supplies
al Littleton Island. II seems he was not
ordered to do so. II was his purpose, he
says, to establish a depot lat or near
Cape Prescott and to the nOrthward, as
recommended by Lieutenant Greedy, and
TO ill the gaps caused by the Neptune's
failure the previous summer to get above
Cape Sabine" Ii seems that this plan
was in harmony with the programme
which had been mapped out by Lieut..
Greedy. who had been over the
ground. and who, it appears,
thought he knew what was most needed.
\ careful comparison of the temperature
at Goodhayen, Greenland, for the ten years
between 1873 to 1881 shows that it was
ten degrees higher during the winter pre-
ceding the landing Of the Greedy party at
Lady Franklin Bay than in any other
winter of the ten years. The PrOteus in
the summer Of 1881 had no trouble in
reaching the point of destination, Lady
Franklin Bay. 1t is questioned If the
PrOteus would ever have reached that
point i'm any other summer. The prospect
Of a relief party reaching that latitude
next summer is, therefore, not promising.
