LONDON, Feb. 22.-The report comes
from Hamburg that two leading German
firms, engaged respectively in manufact-
uring arms and in shipbuilding, contem-
plate establishing jointly III Russia IN
arsenal and yards for building and equip
ping warships and turning out material
for railways and public works generally.
A representative of one of these firms has
jus, gone to II. Petersburg TO arrange the
preliminaries.
This announcement may be taken in
conjunction with a message TO the Standard
from Berlin this morning declaring that
Russia cannot herself build the warships
called for by the recent special vote, and
If that vote is meant to be, as is suggested.
Ruseia's reply to the Anglo-Japanese
treaty and the United States note, 1t is a
mere brutum fulmeR unless the ships are
actually put on the stocks; while the asso-
citation OF Germany with the scheme may
be meant to be a silent expression Of Euro
pean solidarity in face Of the new British
position in the Far East.

of the London and Northwestern Railway
shows an increase OF ira ic receipts amount

decrease Of no less than 500 1852 train miles

recently built at Crewe two trains Of thirty
steel wagons each. every wagon to carry
twenty tons. These trains had saved 40
feet in length and thus saved siding accom-

Within the past three months over

the use Of stomach medicines and are de-
pending entirely upon the new germicide

1t has been a long and most difficult

taken into the stomach, do not and can
not destroy the germs OF diseases located
in the head, throat and lungs, but when
the last report of the Bureau of Vital
Statistics was published, showing that
HYoMEI had reduced the death rate
from consumption alone "a per cent.
during the past year, and when this was
followed by an editorial in the United
States Health Reports, stating that this
reduction was caused solely by HYoMEI,
and that no other remedy or treat
ment had anything whatever 10 do
with II, then, and not until then, did
the people awake TO the fact that it was
a useless waste of time and money to
attempt the permanent cure of such
diseases without destroying the cause

ideas. He proposes the extension OF the
university premises and resources, the
immediate expenditure Of twice the amount
Of money formerly required, the prepare

a complete translation bureau.
He estimates that ten years will be sufh-
Gent time to qualify enough Chinese to
administer all the affairs OF the nation.
He ignores the system Of Yuan Shin Kai,
the new viceroy of Chill which has already
been adopted everywhere. He also ig-
nores the Chinese Educational Association,

sionaries and their TRANSACTIONS. which are
the only ones in existence. He character
lies the old university professors as priests
