CHINA BUILDING NEW NAVY
NINE VESSELS NOW BEING BUILT
IN EUROPE.
Arguments to Induce Her to Order
Ships in the United States-Report
Made by Commander Barber.

An outline of the plans of the Chin
csc government in the direction of re-
construction and replacement of the
navy destroyed and captured by the
reached the Navy department, through
a report from Commander f. NJ. Bar
Der (retired), who was invited to adj
dress the Chinese Tsung-liHamen, or
imperial council, last fall upon the
feasibility of securing ships in the
United States, says late Washington
proposes to reconstruct her navy, and
become first class naval power in ten
years. The bay of Kia Chow, on the
south side of Shangtung promotory is
to be thoroughly dredged and forti-
fled for II great naval depot, and the
arsensal at Foo Chow is to be reor-
ganized and enlarged under French
engineers, so at to be capable of con-
structing modern vessels of war of all
types.
There is a new arsensal for the man
ufacture of small arms and ammuni-
ton now in progress of construction
in the Shangtung promotory. Nine
vessels have already been ordered from
Europe; two of these are unarmored
cruisers of 1900 tons and ~ knots
speed, from Armstrong;, in England,
time of construction, eighteen months,
three unarmored cruisers of $500 tons
and % knots speed, from the Vulcan
works in Germany, time of construc-
ton. eighteen months. and four tor
pedo destroyers of 200 tons and 81
knots speed, from the Shichau works,
at Elbing. Germany, time of construc-
ton, thirteen months.
The officer presenter a stronger ar
gument to the Gamen, to show that
it would be good policy for China to
buy some of her new navy from the
United States. He showed that the
reasons for this were in the first place
political, as exhibited in the important
services rendered to China by the
United States during the late war;
second, geographical, based on the
striking similarity of the coasts of the
United States and China, which seem
to indicate the ACCESSIBILITY of using
the same kind of ships; third, naval,
the policy of the United States being
toward the use of powerful but light
draft coast defense ships. able to meet
successfully any of the bigger Euro
pean battle ships, owing to the greater
protection secured by the abandon
ment of large coal supply in favor of
armor and guns. The commander also
endeavored to show that technically
the United States had the best ships
in the world. and that owing to the
encouragement heretofore afforded by
the government our shipbuilders were
now able and DESTROYS of meeting the
bids of any European concerns for
ships of the first quality.

Tonic, it assists the process of
digestion, stimulates the sluggish

builds up the body when debilitated

slider Ayers Sarsaparilla the best. 1t
is a skilfully- prepared combination
of the most powerful Alternatives and

A Little knowledge
Is a Dangerous Thing

A person unacquainted with Bicycle
construction attempting to dismantle
wheel or effect home repair will
often do more dameage in five min
utes than skilled mechanic can re-
pair in day. The mechanism of most
Bicycles is very intricate, with left
hand lock-nuts and very fine threads,
which will slip if the least bit over
strained.
Many of the parts require special
wrenches to turn them, of which we
have large assortment, together with
the other tools used in Bicycle con
struction, and skilled mechanic to
do the work.
We make a speciality of repairing
Bicycles. No mater how badly used
up they are we can put them on their
wheels again. Our work we guaran-
tee. Our charges are moderate. We
don't want the earth-only chance
to live.
