EUROPE PLEASED.

The ambassadors and ministers at
Washington representing those pow
ers having large interests in China
have communicated to their foreign
offices the substance of the recent
answer Of the United States to Italy,
to the effect that this country would
maintain an attitude of disinterested
neutrality in reference to Italian de-
signs on San Nun Bay. Some of these
diplomats have advised their govern
ments that they regarded the an
nouncement of the United States at
titude as of supreme importance in
the Chinese situation. The reasons
for this are summed up by g promin
ent member Of the diplomatic corps
representing one of the powers in
Europe as follows:-
The answer of the United States to
Italy is re niAr ably Arilti ut tToke
OF diplomacy. The natural inclination
of the United States government
would have been in favor of the move
by Italy for opening the San Nun Bay
would give another port to the grow
ing American trade in China but as
this would have excited the animOsi-
ty of China, your government decides
upon course of disinterested neu
trality. This gives no offence to China
and at the same time Italy and the
world at large take notice that the
United States will interpose no obsta-
Gle in the acquisition of the San Nun
Bay or other Chinese ports. It is most
Important to all the powers to know
that the United States has no purpose
to interfere in behalf of China, even
to he~extent of exerting her moral
influence toward the continuing of
China's integrity. For that reason l
look upon the Americans answer to
Italy as the most important develop
ment in the Chinese situation that has
risen in recent days, and l think it
it will be SO accepted in all foreign
offices.
This diplomatic official further
pointed out that if Italy secured San
Nun Bay from China it would prove a
port of inestinable value to United
States interests in the Philippines. It
is one Of the southerly ports OF China
and about the closest for the big
trade to and from Manila Chinese
authorities were at first inclined to
accept the answer of the United
States to Italy as rather Favorable to
China; bat the more it is turned over
the more it appears Indirectly to IA
vor Italy, as it gives her assurance
that her hands will be free in execu
ing move on San Man Bay.

HANDICAPPED BY III
lTORS.

In that part of his article in the
April Century on "The Atlantic Fleet
in the Spanish War; which treats OF
the expedition against San Juan, Por-
to Rico, Admiral Sampson thus dis
cribes the Inconvenience Of taking
monitors on such a trip:
In one respect we were at great
disadvantage. The monitors proved
10 be a grievious dissappointmen and
d source Of great anxiety. The Am
.phitrIte and the Terror were so slow
that, in order TO make even seven
and half knots an hour, both had to
be taken iii Tow, one by the Iowa, and
the other by the New York The ma
chinery OF the battle6hip Indiana was
also unre liable, which, added TO The
insufficient supply OF coal carried by
the monitors, rendered the squadron,
as q whole most insufficient in mObil-
ity. Ever since the memorable fight
between the little Monitor and tie
Confederate ram Merrimac, the name
"monitorn has had a charm which
time has not dimmed; yet if that great
naval engineer, John Ericsson, were
now living and were asked to build a
fighting ship, is is certain that he
would make it quite different from his
famous craft The original Monitor
had to be built quickly, and was meant
to navigate in shoal water and in
smooth seas. Yet Ericsson was truly
the designer of the modern battleship
which to day bodies the good quail
tiles of his invention in having the
principle guns mounted in two tuTrets
in the midship line, no other plan be-
ing so economical OF weight and SO
prolific of power. Some designs of
battIeships have departed from this
fundamental idea, but to that extent
they have been failures. To day,
Ericsson would make his fighting ship
carry her guns high out of water, thus
removing excessive stability and quick
oscillation, and enabling her to fight
at sea, which our monitors cannot dc.
He would build her much larger,
that she might carry plenty of
coal to make long trips and good
speed, in which respect also the mon
itor is woful!y deficient. Never was a
commander more harassed by any
ships under his command. [ felt dur
ing the whole cruise that at any time
we should have been much better off
if the monitors had been left at home;
yet we kept them because we believ-
ed they could endure much hammer
ing from the enemy without being
even disabled. In what plight we
should have been had we met Cevera
and his feet at this time! For lack of
speed, the monitors could not have
come into action at all.

The Randolph Herald says that
among the new roads soon to be built
is the one TO connect the thriving
town Of Rochester with Bethel, meet
ing there the main line OF the Central
Vermont Railroad It continues:
''This VIII open up the valley drained
by the upper waters of the White
river and lay its rich resources bare
to the investor, who can much better
afford to look into them than he can
TO take the word of some glib tongued
boomer and develop the West at his
own expense. The town of Stock
bridge has placed itself in the van of
the column by voting to exempt. I'M
der the provision of the statute, any
new enterprise which may be attract
ed by the building of the road, which
passes through the entire township.
There is an abundance of power in
the streams and Of wood and lumber
on the hills. The soil is rich and the
ness in any line which can employ
any Of these agencies would seem to
be excellent. We look forward to
the time when these electric roads,
reaching up into the valleys on either
side of the main railroad arteries, will
serve the same purpose that the irri-
cation of the lands in the Far West
does and make the whole State to
bask in prospe rity.
