London. Jan. S.-The British admiralty
has been directed to build two bat
tieships which are intended TO be the
largest in the world. The distinction OF
having the largest warships has hitherto
been held by Italy, with the Lepanto and
her sister ship, the Itala. Great Britain's
two projected large warships, to be re-
spectively named the Queen and the
Prince of Wales, will be 2O00 tons heavier
than the Italian ships mentioned, reach
ing the enormous displacement OF $1,000
tons. which is $500 heavier than America 8
bipgest armored vessel These tremen-
dous British vessels will carry nothing
larger than II inch guns. Their batteries
will be composed of these guns and 10
inch and 6 inch guns. The determination
TO increase the bulk of the battieships
was only arrived at after much discus
SION. for since the days of the Royal Sow
eeign (of l4.l50 tons) the admiralty has
been inclined to favor battleships of small
er displacement, of which the Campus, OF
81 500 tons, is the best type.
In the meanwhile France and the United
states have been increasing their displace-
ments. Now Great Britain steps IN, tax
ing the lead with the Queen and the Prince
d Wales, to say nothing of the London
and the Formidable, both of 1900 tons
now nearing completion.

Seeking for Loot.

New York, Jan. A dispatch to the
Herald from Pekin says:
The punitive expeditions of the powers
prove to have been simply looting parties.
Lieutenant Colonel Whit of the Sixth
cavalry met the Germans at Tang-hin,
where the latter had taxed the villagers
1000 taels ($2700) and 100 pony loads of
furs as punishment for the alleged MUIR
der of imaginary Christians. He had ex-
press orders from General Chaffee to CO.

drew. The Interior motive and object of
the Germans in reducing the province 20 a
desert and in destroying the last vestiges
of Chinese authority is apparent, but
why the American forces should eb or
dered to assist in the work is not clear.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Following. at an
interval of one day, close upon his an
nouncement that the Chinese emperor had
decreed the acceptance of the Pekin agree
ment, Minister Conger cabled the state de-
partment under date of Pekin that the
next step had been taken and that the min
lister had been notified formally, not only
that the agreement was accepted by the
Chinese government, but that the govern
ment felt able to guarantee performance
OF the conditions imposed. 1t was appre-
hended that there would be much difficulty
i'll settling the important subject Of in
IDENTITIES and the Encouragement OF the
commercial treaties between China and the
powers, which is provided for only in gen
eral terms in the agreement, is expected to
present equal difficulties i'll the arrange
ment of details.
1t is absolutely essential to harmonious
relations in the future that there shall be
no discrimination in the making OF these
treaties. If by covert arrangement one
power is to obtain commercial advantage
over the Others the result will be the cause
of dissatisfaction. Therefore, it is within
the bounds of probability that the outcome
of the negotiations under this subhead OF
the agreement, touching commercial al
engagements, will be the framing of some
thing like general convention, which may
be signed collectively or singly by the
powers, but which will insure uniform
treatment to tall.
The Chinese governments guaranty o.
its ability to perform the acts called fol
by the agreement is now expected to b'
followed by the prompt arrest and punish
ment of the Boxer leaders and sympathiz
ers who were named in the decree Of las
September as follows: Prince Chwan
Prince Yih, Secondary Princes Tsai Lel
and Tsai Wing, Prince Tuan, Duke Tsa
Lam, the president of the censorate; YinI

board, and Chao.
