Is Superior to Russian So Far as
Wnrships In Asiatlc Waters Are
Concerned.
From the New York Times.


Washington March N.-If the Japa-
nese intend to rely largely upon their
available sea power in a contest with
Russia, Japan is now not only equal, but
superior. in force to Russia in Asiatic
waters. The Russian fleet now stationed
in Asia and available for service against
Japan, numbers 81 vessels, exclusive OF
torpedo boats. with an aggregate tonnage
OF 100, $40. The Japanese fleet, exclusive
of torpedo boats, consists of 50 vessels,
of 2O7, 903 tons. Not only does Japan Ell
joy superiority of tonnage to the eX-
tent of nearly 1000 tons, but she has
some ships of very great power and the
promise of great efficiency, and she would
enter a struggle with a prestige that
would at least worry the people at St.
Petersburg.
The Russian and japanese fleets avail
able for service in a war that should
come on soon compare about as follows,

ST. PETERSBURG EXPLAINS DELAY
Says China VIII Sign Treaty Monday
or Tuesday.

st. Petersburg, March eft is probable
that the Russo-Chinese Manchurian
treaty will not be signed before Monday
or Tuesday. az the earliest. The delay
is due to the dilatoriness OF the Chinese
government, or to the natural difficulties
of communication between the Chinese
court, Pekin and st. Petersburg.

pYRoGRAPH FANS.
An Importation from FormOsa of
Growing Popularity in the
United States.

The cession of Formosa by China to
Japan has given the civilized world an
open door to that wonderful island.
From it are now shipped large guam
titles Of the best tea, camphor wood,
oil. bituminous coal, sugar, indigo,
hemp and small quantities of native
manufactures and curios. Among the
latter are the pyrograph fans, which
are made in the nieghborhood of Tai
Wan Foo and Takow. They are manu-
factured Of palm leaves and are usu-
ally cut so as to form the outline OF
a figure s or dumbbell. Before the
leaf is entirely dried a native artist
decorates one or both sides by burn
ing a design upon it with white-hot
irons. The leading patterns are bit
of scenery on one side and a figure
picture on the other. Other patterns
are floral, geometrical, marine or his
torical. The separate leaf is finished
with sandpaper, dried and oiled with
the native resin, which prevents the
wood from becoming brittle. 1t IS
then bound with silk cloth or leath-
er edging and supplied with a bam-
boo, bone, teak, ebony or ivory nan
die. These fans, says the New York
Post, are exceedingly strong, and will
last a lifetime. They are trifie
heavy as compared with the gauze
creations of Japan and the lace af-
fairs of Paris, but, unlike these, they
never lose their beauty Before the
Chino-Japanese war they were eN-
tremely rare in the United States,
but in the last five years large num-
bers have been brought home by tray'
elers and by soldiers, and other guam
titles have been imported by mer'
chants. Several are now on exhlpl'
tion in a Broadway atelier, and are
proving great attractions to women.
