Russia and the "Open Door.” The Politische Korrispondenz has received from St. Petersburg an abstract of Russia's answer to the Note of the United States con-
cerning the open door" in China With regard to the uniformity of action observed by all the other Powers in the districts leased by China, Russia agrees entirely with all those principies which are far from being of an exclusi- vely selfish character. Although the establish- ment of its administration in the peninsula of Linoting has cost Russia 50,000,000 roubles, free entry was accorded through the free har bour of Ta-lien-wan to all stations. The Customs limitations, which were fixed at Port Arthur, owed their existence to the special, position of that military port. If it should be deemed to be necessary later to bring the whole of the Liaotung Peninsula and the rest of Manchuria within the Castoma Imitations, then the measures taken would be in accordance with
the productions of all countries. It is said that France has returned a similar reply to the American Nole in recognising the principle of reciprocity in fixing the Customs dues for all districts, which are in the same position as those mentioned in the Note,

Our Artillery. Presiding over the anual meeting of Vickers Song and Maxim Limited, held at Sheffield, Mr. T. E. Vickers referred to the statement The Home Secretary, in response to the made in the House of Commons regarding the petition presented to him, has promptly granted alleged superiority of French: over British a free pardon to all the defendants recently artillery. The comparison of the French tain. convicted at Cambridge for complicity in the gun was, he believed, made in regard to the disturbances which arose out of the students' older type of Mark Eight rain., and not the celebration of the relief of Ladysmith, the rain. Mark Nine Vickers' design. The Vickers ground that the evidence did not justify a con-12in. gun, which was now being placed on board viction for felony. The news was conveyed in a letter addressed to Mr. W. B. Redfern, J.P. all the new battleships, had a striking energy exceeding that of the French 12in. weapun at who sent the petition. Needless to say, it was 2,000 yards by 44 per cent, and at 4,000 yards received with the greatest satisfaction in Cam- by 6 per cent., and at 6000 yards by 72 per bridge.
cent. It was not right to compare the power of guns from velocity alon, as the French guns used a shot weighing 6441b, whereas the English gun fired a projectile &golb, in weiglit. The Vickers mechanism had now been made a sealed pattern for all guns of 3in: to 12in. calibre for the sea and land services, and the company had arranged a satisfactory royalty with the British Government. At the Paris Exhibition the company, amongst other ex- bibits, would show a zin. gun which, with a velocity of 3,000ft. fired shells weighing 200lb. at the rate of six to seven shells per minute.

The Banque de l'Indo-Chine has had a nar row escape of losing f. 40,000 through the dis- honesty of one of its office messengers. He bad been entrusted with the cashing of a cheque at the Banque de France for the above amount, when after a period of one hour he came back to the office showing all the ap salt, of having sustained

The Pacifo Cable. The Canadian Senate on 16th ulto, adopted a resolution proposed by Sir Mackenzie Bowell setting forth that "serious defays having occur- red in the prosecution of the Pacific cable undertaking through the hostility of the Eastera Extension Company, which is now demanding concessions from Australia that, if granted, will imperil its success, this House is of opinion that any further delay in procceeding with the construction of the cable will be inimical to the interests of the Empire, and strongly deprecates granting further concessions to the Eastern Extension or any other companies."..

The China Squadron. The Naval Correspondent of the Globe writes am exceedingly glad to learn that the Admiralty have decided to send the first class cruiser Argonaut to China. With the Terrible there also, we shall make quite a respectable show, I thought it was unlikely that we were only to be represented by the somewhat antiquated second-class cruiser Apello in place of the Undaunted. The main armament of the Argonaut consists of 16-6-in. quick-firing guns, of a length of 45 calibres, her maximum speed is 2075 knots, and her comple ment is 600. She has 30 Belleville boilers, with economisers in their uptakes.
The Chatham correspondent of the Naval and Military Record writes:-At present atten- tion is concentrated on the battleship Goliath, which has been built and equipped for sea in three years and three months. The estimated cost of the ship is £846,190, but there is reason to believe that this amount has been consider ably exceeded in consequence of alterations and of overtime. During the past week she has been painted throughout, and all the water- tight fittings and electric services have been tested to the satisfaction of the officials. 24th inst she will be passed into the Fleet Reserve, and on 27th will hoist the pennant for the relief of the Centurion on the China Station. This will be a change for the better, as the latter vessel's displacement is 10,500 tons, whilst that of the Goliath is 12,950 tons, and Centurion,

Mr. Joseph Walton asked the Under-Secret- ary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he was aware that British-owned steamers specially built to trade under the agreement with the Chinese (lovernment, which authorised British ships to carry British goods to every riverside River in consequence of not being allowed to town and station, were being taken off the West load or discharge cargo at places between treaty ports; dud whether Her Majesty's Govern- ment would insist on the carrying out of the agreement as to navigation on inland waterways in its entirety.
Mr. Brodrick We have not heard of any British steamers having been taken off the West River in the circumstance referred to. The agreement with the Chinese Government permitted foreigners to trade in steamera where native boats had been permitted. This did not include every riverside town and station.
