THE CHINESE FLEET.

1t is reported that, alarmed by the
threatened appeal to force by the
Powers, the Chinese Government
has ordered a strong squadron to
Nankin and another north of the
YaDg-tse- Kiang. It is uncertain just
what this action means, but English
opinion seems to accept it as move
ment to protect foreign interest. It
is the first intimation that Ii Hung
Chang has given of what he will do
in the present crisis. He is Admiral
in, chief of the Northern squadron
from which these naval forces are
drawn, and much interest has been
felt to know what his course would
be. The feet under his command is
effective,so far as the ships and their
ornaments are concerned, and the
crews are of good material and have
been drilled in European fashion.
The whole squadron consists of
one barbette iron-clad of near
ly 10000 tons, two armored tur-
ret ships of 7430 tons each;
two belted cruisers four steel
protected cruisers of the latest type;
four torpedo cruisers; twenty-three
first class and four second class tor
pedo boats; ten lightly armed mod
ern gunboats; a number of older
type gunboats, each carrying one
thirty-five ton Armstrong muzzle
loader, besides training and gunnery
ships, dispatch boats, transports, etc.
The armored ships and cruisers are
armed with powerful guns by Krupp
and Armstrong, of from eight to
twelve inches caliber, besides Sec
ondary batteries. The weakest point
of the squadron is in its offering.
Last year most Of the European
officers resigned on account of the
jealousy of the Chinese officers. It
was stated at the time, on Chinese
authority, that they were crowded
out because the Government had no
further use for them, native officers
having become competent to fill
their places. Some engineer officers
were retained. According to Eu-
ropean opinion the Chinese officers
are not up to their work and the adj
ministratlon of the feet is poor.-TS.

A DECISION of the Supreme Court,
printed on the first page, relates to
the gambling case tried in the
Police Court recently, where the
defendant was charged with and
found guilty of violation of the
law, and entered an appeal to the
higher Court. The case is fully re-
viewed, and extracts from the evil
dence given, showing how the
game is carried on, and the part
taken in it by the defendant, which
makes it interesting reading.
Cinnamon who profess to know,
say that this gambling is carried
on with the knowledge and per-
mission of Government officers, but
it is difficult to believe that any
man would risk his reputation in
with such unlawful
schemes. A singular circumstance
connected with this case is the fact
that the Attorney-General had
pitted against HIM the combined
talent of six legal gentlemen.

An ingenious continuance will be
used on the cars used in hauling
beets to the sugar factory at Chino
from the surrounding ranches. The
cars, which hold about three tons
each, are mounted on wheels having
very broad tires, and are so con-
structed that the pressure Of the
hand upon a lever sufices to dump
the beets with which they are load
ed into the factory. Every other
car in the train is equipped with an
lngenlously constructed derrick,
which is used to lift the beets into
the two carts between which it is
operated.

A number of fires have been ex-

HARDEN HAND GRENADE.
A large lamp holding a gal
lon of kerosene oil fell from a
ceiling producing a solid sheet of
flame six feet square and ten feet
high; with six grenades this fire was
extinguished at once, and no dam

FREIGHT AND VALUES.

The cost of freight, that is, trans
port of merchandise by sea, as
compared with the values of the
goods carried is "a very important
consideration, especially just now
and with ourselves, seeing that the
price of our principal product has
just been cut down say thirty per
cent. while the costs and charges
for getting it to market are as
much for ton of sugar worth S54
as they were when the same ton
brought $50 or $780,.
Commissioner W. ". Bates, of
the Government Bureau of Navi-
cation at Washington, forcibly
calls attention to the neglect of
statistics on this point. Ee says
the carrying trade now finds no
place in the reports of Chambers of
Commerce. exports and imports
are given and figure prominently,
but the business done by vessels,
American and foreign, cuts no figure
at ALL"
Mr.. Bates says that for many
years he has pointed out this want
of statistical knowledge, by arti-
Giles written for the press on ship
ping matters, and endeavoring to
interest the Government in the
matter, and making 1t u Govern
ment business to gather statistics
in relation to freight; but he has
been unable to enlist the Govern
ment interest and thinks that
nothing will be done until the
Chambers of Commerce shall think
1T important and necessary.
Nevertheless Mr.. Bates has him.
self worked up good deal of IN
formation on the subject, and has
compared the export freights of
Washington and Oregon for a year
past. On the Oregon grain export
the ratio of freight to cargo value
was 32,126 per cent, on the Wash
ington grain export BLOB per cent,
on the Puget Sound lumber export
13O.31 per cent, and On the total
grain and lumber of these two
States 1888 per cent, on the grain
and -four export of California for
four years 1875 the freight was
1873 per cent. of the value of car
goes.
Merchandise sent abroad by an
American ship is not, argues Mr..
Bates, any more an export than is
the freight which the ship earns,
and American vessels carrying
lumber from Puget Sound to
foreign markets earn for the coun-
try 3O.31 per cent. more than the
mills which cut the lumber.
Mr.. Bates position is this, that |
the relative volume Or value of the
exports and imports of any coun-
try, the balance of trade, in fact,
cannot be accurately stated with
out always taking into the calcula-
ton the freights earned by vessels.
TO illustrate this argument he
takes the trade with these islands
as a case in point. On the discus
sion of the proposition to lay
cable to Honolulu, it was objected
in Congress last winter, that the
Hawanan trade was losing one,
and therefore the less of it the bet
ter for the United States. But then
the adverse balance of trade was
made up by subtracting exports
from imports, and charging also
loss of revenue from free sugar,
etc. No CREDIT WHATEVER WAS
GIVEN FOR THE BUSINESS DONE BY
AMERICAN VESSELS.
The Commissioner says that this
objection was not, as it should have
been, answered at once or as soon
as possible, for no one seems to be
able TO answer what should be set
down for freight on the imports

And hot weather creates
stronger desires than ever for
ice cream. Make it at home
then and save money. The
time don't count to your ser
wants, and thirteen minutes is
not very long, anyhow, to

Barefooted Bill still keeps

everything but your family,
you'll calculate to get one.
Better do it now and save
money. Don't postpone the
matter, because someone says
in the papers eve must have
detectives" Suppose they get
'em, will they get the burglar?
We think not. A detective
from the Coast would not
amount to shucks. Better not
wait longer, buy a Safe now.
More Water Coolers ar
rived since we told you of
them a few weeks ago. The
last notice we inserted was a
suggestion which lots of PEG

been acting upon it ever

more.

We have other things just
as useful and pretty, for such
occasions. Come in and look
around. There's always some
one to wait upon you whether
you purchase or not.
We said something about
a lot of new lamps to arrive
last week. They didn't come,
but they'll be here this week,
sure. We have plenty as it
is, but this is a new lot. We
can suit you in lamps if any
one can.
Stoves, Ranges, Tinware and
Agateware are things used
every day. We have been
in our selection of the
stock we offer, and we believe
we have the largest and best

How to Prepare and Address Packages
Sent by Mail.

The season Is approaching when the
mails will be filed with holiday presents,
and great many are unnecessarily lost,
delayed or damaged each year because Of
the Indifferent manner in which they are
prepared for mailing,
Newspaper or other thin paper should
never be used for wrapping, and packages
as ordinarily wrapped where purchased
are not sufficiently secure for forwarding
In the mails.
Use strong paper; make solid package
that will not crush easily; tie well with
good twine; address legibly and correctly
with ink on the lower right hand corner
and very few packages will fail to reach
destination in good condition.
1t is always advisable 10 place the name
and address Of the sender on the upper
left hand corner Of sll packages, etc, sent
in the mails, so they may be returned in
case the addresses cannot be found. Postal
statistics show that more delays result
from incorrect addresses than from errors
In distribution by postal employees.
In case Of loss or delay report the same
to your postmaster with all the informa-
ton that cen be given.
