jhe Cruise of the Neptune.

The narrative of the cruise of the Nep-

tune in Huds n’s Bay is exceedingly in- terestiig. The voyage was one of ¢xplora- tion. Its object was to test the navigabil-

ity of the bay—to find out w! ether or not it is a ssfe route for the commerce of the ri pidly developing Northwest.

Chis experimental trip was made in the best season of the year for the purpose in- tended. Asea route to be of use, cought surely to be clear of ice in Augnst and September. If vessels cannot navigate it with safety during those two months, is it

hikely that it will be more open at any other season of the year!

Let us see what was the experience of the navigators of the Neptune in August and September. Off Stupart’s Bay belts aid strings and floes of ice were mef. One floe was tourteen miles in breadth, and the

lice was between six and sixteen feet thick.

On this part of the vessel’s route there was /so much ice that it was considered danger- ous to sail the ship at night, and conse- quently fur two nignts her commander con- sidered it right to lay her te. At an- ‘other part of the route the ice ex- tended as far as the eye could reach, and several vessels were drifting about, com- pletely helpless, in the pack. The shoals were all covered with solid ice. Ouxve cake was found to be forty-two feet thick. In ‘another part of his narrative Lieut. Gordon speaks of whalers that had been sawn out lof harbor on the 7ihof June, but which were unable to proceed on their voyage on aceount of the ice.

On the return voyage in September the strait was by no means clear of ice. Near Nottingham the floes were sufficiently large to impede navigation and bergs were to be seen; although not so numerous as they were a month before.

It is said more than once that the season was exceptional, We regard this as rather fortuna‘e for the purposes of the expediudon than otherwise. Aronte which is to be the outiet of the commerce of a large com- munity muct be uniformly safe, and every ecmmercial nian must be able to caleulate with a very near approach to accuracy the time it will take the vessels that sail by it to complete the voyage, and it is also necessary that insurers should know the | precise amount of the risk they take. Asa ‘chain is no stronger than its weakest link, 's0 @ sea route must,in a very great measure, | be judged by its exceptional seasons,

How far the cxperience of last suamer in Hadson’s Bay is exceptional remains to be proved, but from the facts which are | pow in the possession of the public, most tioughtful men will conclude that unless the average season is very much better than that of 1884, it would be the height of imprudence to make any preparations for adopting it as a commercial route.—Mon-

treal Herald.

The Chinese Question.

New questions arise almost every day (at the Treasury Department concerning the law respecting the emmigration of Chinese people in the United States The latest point raised is one of the most interesting The question which Secretary Gresham 3s ‘now called upon to settle is whether a Chinese merchant doing business in San Francisco |efore the Anti-Chinese law was passed, who shall now go to Victoria, in British Columbia, can afterward return to San Francisco without going back to China and getting a certificate, as required by law. Of course if the Secretary ruled that he could not return without the cer- tificate he must either go to China and get it or else a rule must be made allowing the Chinese Consul at ports visited by such Chinese travellers to give the neces- sary certificate. It is thought that Mr. Gresham may so decide. The Collector of Customs at San Francisco, who insists that a certificate must come from China, is acting under a recent decision of Justice Field in the Cireuit Court. This law evidently causes many hardships to in- dividuais. It is stated at the Preasury Department that there is absolute:y no way of avoiding the application of the law to the two educated Chinese women rec-ntly brought to San Francisco by the Presby- terian Missionary Board, The law requires them tv have a c:rtificate, and their excuse for not having it 1s that they and the people who brought them did not know of the law. They will be compelled to return to China to get their certificate, thus making three trips across the Pacitic instead of one on account of the ignorance of themanagers of the Presbyterian Missionary Suciety. cmeaegialaialadineencaeengiicin

The discovery of natural gas in the earth in Western Pennsylvania is a singular feature of recent discovery. Hundreds of companies are being formed, says the Philadelphia Record, to develop leased properties : ‘‘The search for natural gas deposits is now prosecuted with as much energy as the original quest for petroleum.” The gas is used for making iron, producing steam, for cooking, heating, and lighting purpeses, and is thus made to take the place ef coal and more costly fuel. As there is a large area of gas-preducing territory, extending south-westward and north-eastward from the oil tields, there is no reason to doubt that the supply will be maintained for many years.

The British Navy. ENGLANDS NAVAL FORCE COMPARED WITH EUROPEAN COUNTRIES—AN ADDITION 1O THE FLEET.

Another powerful ship of war, belonging tu what is technically known as the “ Ad- wiral” class in our ravy, waa snecessfrlly launched at Chatham oa the 22ud inar. Now that the condition of the British navy is commanding most serious attention, the addition of the Rodney to our naval strength is especially satisfactory. The event indicates the progress that is being made in this class of first-class armor-clad vessels which severally bear grand old names, femous in the naval history of the nation, ‘The five sister-ships of the Rodney are the Collingwood, the Howe, the Cem. perdown, the Beubow, and the Ans p. The Rodney was preceded by the Colling- wood, commenced at Pewbri ke more than four ye rssince, and lannched in Novem- ber, 1882. ‘Lhe displacement of the R drey is 9,600 tons, and the engines, of 7 b00 horse-power, will realize a speed of fifteen kuote.

THE ARMAMENT OF THE SHIP

consists of four 134 inch breechloaders of 63 tons, half a dozen 6 inch breechloaders, and several machine guns. The ship is constructed of steei and has two screw propellors, and the armor is wrought of compound plates 18 inches thick. The two barbette towers are polygonal in form, their armor being on the slope. The muzzles of the guns will be always visible over the edge of the barbette, but the breech end will drop below the summit during loading, which will be performed uncer cover, The broadside guns will not be protected by armor, but wiil be shiclded from a raking fire by a maseive ermored screen extending hom the barbette towers to the side of the ship. An wunder-water deck of steel will afford protection to the citadel fore and aft, and ihere will be ar- mored comm-nication between the bar- bettes and the protected part of the ship belows, An armord belt will shieid the water-line in the central part cf the vessel. The ships of the ‘*Admiral”’ class wil have no sails,a military pole- mast alone being carried for signals and for working the Nordeufeldt guns. The squadron of ‘‘Adwirels” will be costly. The energ»tic

LPFORTS OF FOREIGN POWERS

must at last awakeu those who are respon- sible for the state of the British navy. There must be no false economy, no delay, or lethargy. When the entire squadron of ‘‘Admirais” is ready for the pennant they will constitute merely a portion of the fleet that must be afloat in the near future. Recent experiments have proved that invulnerability is a chimera, as modern artillery bas pierced and broken the thick- est plates. Despite ail these results, the necessity to keep ‘‘peggirg away” is im- perative. The Italia, Lepanto, Dandolo and Duilio could ‘‘drive our admirals off the water, or sink thei in battle,” but the knowledge of the vast power of these vessels belonging te the Italian government will not prevent the construction of the six barbette ships. The DP uilio carries four 100-ton guns behind 22 inches of armour. The Betbow is intended to carry two 17- inch 100-ton guns in each barbeite, and ten 6-inch guns on the broadside, the armour being 18 inches thick in the central belt, 12 inches on the barbette towers, and six iuches on the transverse screens. The two GREAT GUNS TO BE CARRIED

in the Benbow, one in each barbette, will! possibly exceed the specified weight of 100 tons each. The French will, we are re- minded, goon have, in the Admiral Baudin, the Requin, the Formidable, the Caiman, the Indumptable and the Terrible, a first- class equadron with which our Admiral would be unequally matched. The naval expenditure of other powers has increased forty per cent. while that of England has diminished, and the admiralty “‘in vain beseeches the treasury for the extra mill- ions which sre wanted to make us safe upon the sea; and to restore that naval supremacy, withont which, Great Britain must soon sink to the rank of a second-rate power.’, Insufficent attention has been bestowed upon the ‘hideous and deadly torpedo.” Our torpedo service is utterly inadequate, Other nations are aware of the necessity for as perfect a torpedo fleet as science cay invent and modern mechan- ism supply. Unarmoured light cruisers,— swift, heavily cquipped and unsinkable— should be numerically increased, and a word must be uttered relative to the supply of traiced men, who, it is asserted, are ‘falling off alarmingly.” The new lne of battle ship is a weiceme eddition to the British navy. —Army and Novy Gazette. antag lattice

The farmers of the Western United States ere reported as selling their wheat freely av present low rates, The reasons given for this courre are a jack of storage facilities and their urgent need of money to meet their maturing bilis. Loans rate high, and many of these have been incurred in the purchase of new and costly machin- ery for agricultural] purposes. Very many of the rural population of Montana and Dakota are represented as hard pressed ,and general trade is seriously affected by the conseq'tent scarcity of means with which to purchase.
