PORT ARTHUR.
The Chinese Timea translates the following ar. foto from the Shch-pay of the 2nd inst. Some Len days ago wa refers to a ramour that the Harbour works at Port Arthur tuđ' been ea- trasted to a French Syndicate headed by M. Thévanat. W prasad astonishraout at this ramone, thinking it extremely unlikely that a Syndicate so closely conueled with the Franch Foreriment offline sould be extrasted with the *cation of weeks of such military importance as those of Port Arthur. O antpris was based on the rent troubles between Frauen and Chains. on the destruction of set in the Mia river designed and hailt by French on gineers, and the atzoplod dnstrantion of the Wooshow Arsonal which had also boon planul and constracted by Fesnekmon in the servion of China Our sorprise was further founded on the ousidaration that as yot thara are many inor questions in conuection with the frontier delimitation and frontier trade in Tonquin not. properly sottied and that only quite recently France, by her off is diplomy sed her now papers, claimed, and still efaims, a right of exer- vising protection over Chinos Christian nom munition dwelling within the boundaries of the empire-a protouring which cannot be admitted withontondangering this prestige of this country and planting in her bowels the seeds of the malady which has ruined the Turkish empire. Turkey, once a powerful nation and the torror of ail En rope, las com bagu brought to the condition of a lingering invalid, and a more plaything in the bande of the nations of the West.
Since, however, mentioning the matter as only a rumour we have toarnod that we were recogi ing fact, and that really after negolistions seorately carvio pu, and with the esistanos of the Tontais Lo-feng-lob and Lo-tson-lol, the Toatais Cher Frand Ynon Pao-ling signed, on the 15th day of the 9th moau(October 12th) a con- track, placing the etention of the Port Arthar Harbour works in the hands of the Freuch Syndicate Therezet. Babsequently were
government which cannot be judged from that point of view alone. For all ordinary businese we highly approve of the French as of all other nationalities onjoying trea competition, and tho government as then select the best and cheapest article Bat as regarda Port Arthur it is of supreme importance to the safety of tho ompire that there should be a proper karbour there for the reption of the fast, and that it should be constracted quickly. It is not of suprema im- portance to anemize 100,000 Paels over the coat.
It is only to be remarred in conclusion that the Germans always did their work at Port Ar. thur,creditably, and when the time of danger cams they stand by their work and it was not their talt if it was not put to the savorest, test. Now that the danger is past it gives foreignerse curious impression to sve all the Germans oneby one discarded as one puts off an old coat, and the Franel roccired into such farmur. Considering the trouble the French have givan China in Congnis, and the foreingofa French protectorate over native Christian ommaaltius, foreigners will naturally conclude that the way to obtain the colours and favour of officials is to sink our ships, buen our Gramals andstapour food supplies. This is not a vorg convenisut lesson to teach them.
The Port Arthur contrast has been made, and it mat of course be carried out. All we have said has been in reply to the communiostion sont ne by a friend explaining the notion of the Taptals. Bat in dirooting public attention to some, of the weak points of the transction we may have done something to prevent any addi tional expenses balug thenrred which are at present hidden. If we would also believe that our remarks would cause the work to by dono au

Thus it happened that the Brak Superintendent of Harbour works, Hwang Tantai, estimated for a dam which hi to be constructed in order to eEvot the eroava tion of the Eastern basin at 6,000 davla.

work. Owing to the intervention of Mr. De-Chinese Imperial Government 1885 Doller Loan tring, Commissioner of Customs, the Preach plans were then submitted to the Gormaa Eu- gineer, who at once showed them to be absurd, hat the authorities seeing that between two op- positas they could not decide, called in an old ex- perienced English engineer to report on both The English Engineer supported the proposals of the Gorman man, and declared that his lead- ing principles were in accordance with the best technical knowledge of the day in Europe. As te the French tender the Englishman pointed oat three fallacion of great importauno. First, that Thavenot, instead of condemning the stone work of the Tastais, agreed to prop it up for a Very small sam. Second, that Thovenst wanted to employ a kind of stone which everybody know would not stand exposure. Third, that if the work they intended to do was vorrectly repre Beatod the plan the measurement was deficient by incre than 1,500 foot, and though the price appeared on the surface to be cheaper than the German engineer's estimata, yet 11 really would be dearer if the proper quantity of work was in. aloded. These glaring errors and other thinke osused the French teader to be put aside. The next thing was to get the English and Gorman s engineers to work conjointly, and in order to Me Te finish the works withent further toas of time the English engineer was requested to make a ten- dor for the whole job, wher he did. The tender for execution of the plaus of the Germana engineer, using the best materials in stones| concrete, &c., for the construction of the embank was mout, and buying the best quality of Iron and
тв other work in Europe was finally made for the eum of 1,300,000 tuels. This tender, with the plane, having boon oflcially delivered to the a- thorities, was at once given up by the Haikwan Total in the French, with a request that they.. would make a lower offer. This of course Wis done, and a reduction of 150.000 tre as stated by our friend was proposed by the French and nocepted by the Tastai without any communica tion either with the German engineer who was in charge of the works or the English engineer who made the first offer to contract. Tho now plaza of the German engînger had previously keen given to M. Thevenet by the Taotai, and had been entirely condemned by the French. Nevorthelens it must have been the same plane on which the prasant contrast has been made. It is so far astia- Tantory that these carefully drawn up plans have benzopted by the new contractors, and that the stone walls will be pulled down, and all that san-Le-eid is that the men who made grossest Baroantora inistakes in their own work have put the whole Temperatura business into the hands of a man who committed Hamidity three capital errors in his own original tender.
