The Admiralty, however has decided to build

torpedo boats and other craft The plans for the
first squadron are being prepared by the Admi-

Americans here ascribe the action taken by the

Mr- Wa held the lowest ministerial post in the
Foreign Office. and was transferred to a subordi-
rate post il the Board Of Punishments, where
he brought about revision Of the penal code
and some civil codes and framed regulations
governing limited liability companies All OF
these are said be OF doubtful value. as the
effect of their operation in China is not likely TO
be of any use and so far they have amounted TO
nearly nothing

taken advantage Of the experience Of Mr.. WI
except during the boycott Of American goods
After the question Of revision of the Chinese
exclusion law was dropped he was relegated &c
