When to this list is added Japan, with her fleet of twenty-two vessels, all of which are better than those of Austria, and some of which are superior to those of Germany, Great Britain or the United States, one may obtain a somewhat good idea of what the combined forces of those who oppose the anti-foreign principles of China would be-
 In all it would represent a fighting fleet of 4S7 vessels, with a displacement of not less than 3,725, ,436. Against this force China ~Would be able to send twenty-two cruisers, fhirty-four gunboats, thirty-six torpedo craft, and six floating batteries, making a total of ninety-eight vessels, many of which, with the exception of some of the torpedo craft. are out of date in almost every respect.
 Compared to China's present condition, Spain was a great naval power at the time of the declaration of war with this coun- try, and yet 1t required but two battles to put her out of business on the seas What would happen to China if the combined navies of the world were pitted against her fleet is a matter for interesting conjecture
 A WEAK ARMY.
 It is not only in naval force, however, that China is woefully lacking In her army she is almost as deficient. Nominal ly she possesses an army of about 1,000, COG men, but actually this number does not eX- ceed 3OO,000. The Eight Banners branches,

CHINA AND THE CHINESE
From the Indianapolis Times.

 Tien Tsin, the center of many exciting scenes in China just now, is one of the lar gest cities in the empire, having fully 1,000, OO0 inhabitants. It is the port of Pelxin, and stands on the tourtous and muddy Pei-ho river, eighty-three miles below Pehin, and thirty-three miles above the Taku forts at the mouth of the river. The province of Pc Chi u, in which both Pekin and Tien Tsin are situated, is a vast low-lying plain, liable to floods of more less severity. Tien Tsin literally means "heaven's ford"

CURE GUARANTEED

Patients will be received and treated promptly, and not one cent will be required for treatment until the patients say that all desire and craving for theeir former habit Is destroyed. The patients should remain though very few dol under the observation and direction of the doctor for a week or more. The treatment can be given in secrecy, and is so mild that the most delicate have taken it with little or no suffering. In fact, the patient hardly realizes that he is under treatment until he finds himself cured and full of joy at his liberation from the most exacting and cruel masters that ever dominated slave.
 Dr. Westmoreland has never failed to relieve all of the great number that have taken his remedy for these enslaving hab- its or diseases. Why would any one con- tinue in bondage when he is guaranteed a cure? How could any physician devote his entire time to this one speciality and make this proposition, unless he knows he can cure you?
 No one that Is addicted to any of these dreadful diseases or habits should fail to avail himself of this great opportunity of being cured at once of these, the greatest affictions that mortal ever had.

NO USE FOR CRUTcHES.

Mrs. James Kell, of 633 Tenth street. N. E., Washington, D. O., writes in let. ter of recent date, as follows:
 "A few months ago had an attack oi Sciatic Rheumatism in its worst form. The pain was so intense that became completely prostrated, and was for o long time perfectly helpless. The attack was an unusually severe one and my condi- tion was regarded as being very danger- ous. I was attended by one of the most able doctors in Washington City, who is also member of the faculty of leading medical college here. He told me to con- tinue his prescription and I would get well. After having 1t filled twelve times without receiving the slightest benefit, declined to continue his treatment any longer. Having heard s. 8. s. (Swift's Specifc) recommended for Rheumatism, I decided, almost in despair, however, to give the medicine trial, and after had taken few bottles was able to hobble around on crutches, and very soon there- after had no use for them at all, 8. 8. g.. having cured me sound and well. All thet distressing pains have left me, my appe- tite has returned, and am happy to be again restored to perfect health."

A HUMAN BALLOON.
RESULT OF A FALL FROM 4
BUILDING.

(By Telegraph to Virginian- Pilot.)
New York. Sept. 21.-Patrick Cava-
naugh. OF 213 East One Hundred and
Eighth street. is patient at the Hur-
lem Hospital. Is known to the nurses
and attendants as the Human bal
loon and 1t required much care and
attention to prevent him from inflnt-
ing and dumping an the ceiling OF his
ward.
He was working on the top Of five
story building and fell. When he was
picked UP II was found that three of
his ribs had been fractured and had
penetrated his lungs.
The result was that instead of inhal-
ing the air in the ordinary way It
passed into the tissues of every part of
his body.
He began to swell with every breath,
his size increasing until he resembed
an airShip, and 1t was hard work to
keep him from floating.
The slightest movement and he
would bounce up and down like a cap
tive balloon. On the way to the hos
pitaI he was on the stretcher only half
the time.
In another hour his skin was stretch
ed so tight that when touched he gave
forth n sound like n snare drum. 1t
was feared he would burst. He had to
be anchored to his cot.
His sufferings were finally relieved
by tapping him as veterinarians do
i'm him at different parts and the air
was allowed to hiss out of him until he
had nattencd out sufficiently to make
his stay on earth reasonably certain.
1t was feared at first he could not
live. but with his numerous exhausts
he passed a comfortable night and will
pull through. the doctors think.

MISSIONARIES REVIEW.
THE SITUATION IN THE CHINESE
EMPIRE.
(By Telegraph to virginian-P Iot.)

(By Telegraph TO Virginian- Pilot.)
ticnal conference of foreign missionary
societies opened here to-day. 1t is one
OF the most important the religious
world ever summoned. The policy in
regard to China is being fully discuss
cd and a definite plan of action will
be outlined. The meeting is the result
OF call by the Executive Committee
appointed at the recent ecumenical
conference. Those taking part include
Prcsbyterians, Mcthodists. Protestant
Episcopalians and Reformed church
members. For the past few years the
societies of the United States and Can
ada have met for mutual help and sug-
Gcstion. but never have they grappled
with such a serious question as this.
Besides outlining the future plan for
China. representations of the State De-
pnrtment will also be made regarding
the destruction of missions.
The Methodist alone claim to have
suffered $780, 900 loss as a result of the
disturbances in China. and the Presby-
terians have undoubtedly suffered us
heavily.
Considerable attention will also be
given to comfy, as result of repre-
sensations made at the Ecumenical
Conference. to the effect of the need OF
closer cooperation between the differ
ent denominations and the necessity of
economizing in many directions. a
number of missionaries who are now
on furloughS in this country are in at
tendance. Among them are Rev. a. NJ
Cunningham. Of the Pekin mission; p.
