| China's Defence.

HER FORTS, FLEET, GUNS, AND ARSENALS— DISALVANTAGES OF FRANCE, : —_-—

df France sheuld declare war her actual difficulty, says the Pall Mall Gaze‘te, will be the Question of transport. Unlike Eng- land, which has coaling stations ai intervals (all over the world, the French possess few points between Toulon and Saigon where they could pnt in to replenish their bunkers or refit their ships. In case of war between the friendly Powers the porta of neutrals would necessarily be closed to the ships of both belligerents. To China this would not matter, for she is self-contained, and would merely be fighting a defensive batile To France it might be serious indeed. The enormous fleet of transports necessary to convey an army of 30,000 men across the world would find the greatest difficulty in securing coal, No doubt this difficulty might be surmounted, but no small part of the resolution of the Chinese to oppose the aggression of the French arises from the be- lief that it is practically impossible for any Power but England to land an effective ex- pedition on the Chinese Coast.

THE CHINESE FORTS.

The old Taku forts have not only been made twice as effective as they were when they were captured in 1860, with a loss to the allies of 400 men, but new forts have been erected at some distance from the mouth of the river. Forty-three guns of heavy calibre are mounted on the Taku forts, and it is believed they could be almost impregnable without rauch difficulty. Seven detached forts have been erected round Tien-tsin, and aliogether the fort- ressea of the Chinese littoral are so strong that some time ago, when confidential en- quiries were made as to the number of troops necessary for a successful invasion of China by two European Governments, it was sta hat it could not be safely under- taken with less than forty thousand men.

THE, FLEET.

In addition to the fortresses on the coast the Chinese possess & fleet which, although im some eapects ioferior to that of the French, is much stronger in weight of metal. It is divided into four squadrons, the vessela for the defence of Pei-ho con- sisting of two ironclads of the type of the Inflexible—aamely, the Yan-quei and the Chao-yong.. Both these were built in England; their horsepower is 2,400 and their tonnage 1,300; they carry each two Arevstrong cuns of 26 tons and sx mitrail- lenses; their speed over the measured mile was 164 knots. They are the best vessels in the Chinese fleet, and they are supported by 13 gunboats, The squadron of Foochow consists of two cruisera and 21 smaller boats, At Shanghai there are six irigates and one armored gunboat. The Canton equadron consists of two cruisers and 22 gunboats. The majority of these gunboats are very amail vessels of little importance, but eight are very formidable fighting vees- sels indeed. They are the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Eta aud Theta, built in England by Sir Wiliam Armstrong. These boats have a displace- meut of from 400 to 450 tons, engines of 310 hersepower, a speed of nine knots, and a draught of only eight feet, the first four carrying each a 274-ton gun, and the others a 38-ton gun, all worked by hydraulic power. With elight differences im con struction the length of each of these gun- boats is 125 feet, and the breadth between perpendiculars 30 feet.

THE GUNS.

The guns are fixed irremovable along the centre line of the boat and rest upou trun- nion blocks, which word upon a couble of beam slides. The projectiles are bronght by steam from the magazines below to the loading positions and thrust home by a mechanical rammer working beneath the glacis plates at the bow. In addition to these there are two gunboats, constructed in England, of 250 tons, each carrying a sixteen ton gun. The number of canuons in the Chinese fleet is said to be 250. It is manned by 8,000 seamen, 2,000 of whom, however, are in the reserve,

THE ARSENALS.

The Chinese mati ime arsenala stand at Foochow, Shanghai, and Canton. The old arsenal still stands at Canton; a new one has been established at Tientsin; a third stands at Nankin. The meaunfactory of arms has been established at the capital of the province of Kan-tsu, on the Yellow River, and artillery and _ torpedo facturies are established at Foo- chow. The chief weakness of the Chinese navy is in the scientific, medical, aud com- missariat service; the dockyard accommoda- tion is bad; their skilled officers are few, and it was stated some time ago that not a single doctor had been appointed on any of the ships. The steamers of the China Merchant Company, forty in number, may be freighted for the transport, of troops aud materials, and could be of considerable service. The possession of these steamers enable the Chinese to move their troops with considerable rapidity from place to place, thereby materialiy increasing their capacity either for offence or defence. In 1880, when war was expected with Russia an army of 20,000 men was shipped on from Hankow to the north, without the least difficulty, solely by the Onhinese stea- mers and transports.

A Mysterious Case.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A YOUNG GIRL UNDRE PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANUES,

On the 17th of Jast month a young and accomplished Jady named Nelly Malcolm arrived in Toronto city, and repsired to the bouse of a Mre. McKig at 470 Front street west, where she died on Moncay week last. Mrs, McKig tells a rather peculiar story, and one that it would be well for the de- tectives to enquire into. In substance it is as fullows :—On the evening of the day al- ready mentioned Miss Malcolm called at Mrs. MeKiys, and said she wanted accom- modation for the night, as she was going to a sitnetion the next morning. During the evening the young girl—for she was barely eighteen—said in covrae of conversation

that she was from Owen Souwnd. For some reason or other which Mrs. MecKig cannot explain she did

not leave the next day. In fact she seemed to think very little of the situation, and continued to oecupy ber room. On Sunday night she complained of severe pains. A doctor was called in and prescribed for the patient, who, however, died next morning. New ¢omes the peculiar rart of the case. About 11 o'clock on Monday night one of the two men ealled up the doctor referred to from Mr. Sherris’ drag store, bat could not get a reply. Abont four o'clock the next morning the sare gentleman was called to the telephone aud reqvested to give a certificate of death, The doctor very probably refused, as he considered the death of the girl very mysteri- ous. He thinks the police should investi- gate the case. When he left the girl on Sunday her symptoms were such as to lead one to expect her death the next day. When the parties, whoever they were, coulda not obtain the coveted certifi- cate they shipped the body to Owen Sound on Tuesday moraing. Itis said that the body was in charge of two young men, one a conductor and the other a brakesman on the Toronto, Grey, and Bruce Railway. Both were well acquainted with the deceas- ed, and their action m taking the remains away without a certificate needs explan- ation. The police authorities, on being asked about the case, either did not know anything about it or, if they did, were not willing to afford avy information. Miss Malcolm was an adopted daughter in the family of Conductor Lewis, of Owen Sound, Her character has always been most ex- emplary, aud her sudden and mysterious death has cast a gloon, not only over” Mr, Lewis’ houschold, but amongst a large circle of acquaintances,

THE PEMOCKATS CANDIDATE FOR THE GOVERNOKSHIP OF MASSACHUSETTS.

The Hon. Benjamin F. Batler was sominated for Governer by the Demoeratie Convention on the 26c:h inst. la an eulo- yistic epeech P, A, Collins moved that B nj. F. Bavier be nominated Governor by acclamation. The presentation of the name aroused great enthasiasm. Wilham A. Simmons seconded the nomination. He said, **Blue blued and cavalier must go down. The gentleman who presided over the Republican State Couvention is one of the ssthetic representatives of Beacon Hili, and his course there illustrates how easy itis to descend from the position of a gentleman to that of a blackguard.” Gov. Butier was nomiuated by acclamation, A resolution was adupted stating that the Maseachusetts Democracy believes in a tariff limited in amount to the sum necessary and adequate for revenue; the abolition of ex- cessive war taxes; opposes all sumptuary jaws; favors the introduction of a board of arbitration for the purpose of reconciling the differences beiween the employers and employed. In accepting the nomination Governor Batler reviewed what the Tewks- bury investigation had developed accord- ing to his witnesses, and asked, ‘‘Would the people of Massachusetts say this was decent treatment of men who, but for the misfortune and disease which took them to Tewkesbury, might have been as good asany in the Conveution.” “It may be,” he said, ‘‘your misfortune to outlive your wife, your children, and relatives, and you may have to go to the almshonse, and your body may have to yo for dissection— but for Goa’s sske—for Christ's sake— when they have got all thereisin your body that is good for dissecting purposes, let them decently bury what is left.”

Artificiai Oyster Culture.

Professor Baird, the United States Com- missioner of Fish and Fisheries, seys Mr. Ryder, the embryologist of the Fish Com- unseion, has finally solved the problem of ‘he culture of oys‘ers from artifically im- pregnated egys, and that on the 4th inst., at the Government station at Stockton, Maryland, :here were many millions of younz oysters three quarters of an inch in diameter which had been hatched from eggs artitically impregnated 46 days before. This fact is of great importance to oyster culturiste throughout the world, as from a sing'e oyster several millions of egys can be obtained by the planting of the artificially reared spat. Thus oysters may be produced m practicaliy unlimited quantities in any sheltered estuary in temperate climates, aud localities in which oysters do uot grow can with great ease be stocked by seed trans lan‘ed in bulk woie vory small. It pay be oddicd that oystera were +r ificially

‘Baltimers, in

i beeu

impregnated in America by Dr. Bunks, of 1879, but the difficulty hitherto met with in hatching them has to prevent the young oysters from es- caplug and bemg lost inaediately after they are hatched, since the spat passes ‘hrowzik the meshes of most fively-woven fabrics, such as fanvel.
