troops. Many Chinese are deserving to the
black flags. Lari, their chief, is very pow

The experiments with Ericsson's nov
ell torpedo boat, THE DESTROYER" in
New York harbor, seems to be going far
toward providing an effective coast de-
Tense. The plan of attack for this engine
Of destruction is to run her within 800
feet Of a hostile vessel, which is to be
shattered below the water line by a shot
from a submarine gun. The recent ex-
periments have proved that the pitching
Of the vessel in rough water does not
affect the course of the p~rojectile; that
the conclusion does not damage the
steam connections when the boat is
under full boiler pressure, and that there
is no danger Of premature explosion Of
the torpedo when, on being fired, it
displaces the valve at the mouth Of the
gun.

Considerable amusement has been oc-
casioned by the statement that Mr..
Henry Irving, the distinguished English
actor, intended to bring his own critic
with him to this country and have the
opinions of his acting made to order in
Just and proper conservative English
style. Absurd as this idea is, it is lever
theless quite characteristic ofthe Briton,
and if it should turn out TO be true we
may be assured that the official opinions
Of Mr.. Irving's acting will follow in the
English wake; that is to say, that they
will be ponderous, exact and non-com-
mittal-full of wise laws and learned
presidents. but wholly devoid OF any in
terest to American readers, who above
all else like to discover positiveness Of
conviction and bravery OF utterance in
their dramatic criticisms.

Is, 900 strong; the infantry guard, 300

armory, differed by Englishmen, $4,000
strong and armed with breech-loading
rifles. Altogether China can put into the
field at a moments notice about N
hundred and twenty thousand men. Be-
hind this her reserve in case of conscrip-
ton is almost i~ncalculable. She has
three fleets, the Canton, the Flu Kiang
and Shanghai, numbering twenty-nine
men-of-war of modern pattern. Thir-
teen of these vessels are built of steel
and are said to be superior in armament
and defensive equipment to any boat of
