CHINESE OFFICIALS AT THE JAPANESE ARMY MANOEUVRES,
Chinese officials Intely returned from the recent manœuvres of the Japanese Army, in speaking of the operations state that there was some fear amongst certain of their number at first of being made ridiculous at the maneuvres pwing to want of practice in riding, about on borae-back at a gallop. They were, therefore, considerably relieved in see on the first day a German officer, tossed off the back of his charget, and 80, subsequently, when a civil mandarin fl: holding the position of Brigadier-General] was thrown over his horse's head by the bending over of a weak knee, none of his comrades felt much ashamed, as it was a pure accident and no fault of therider. Later on, however, an accident accuired which sent a thrill of fear, for a time, over the Hupeh con- tingent of Viceroy Chang Chibi-tung's officers. It appears that the horse ridden by the Viceroy's grandson, an intrepid youth, somehow fell over throwing his rider, who lay stunned and inanimate on the ground for some minutes. A Japanese medical officer was at once summoned who subsequently restored Mr. Chang. To show that he was not much hut the young man again mounted his horse and remained on-it to the end of the day's operations. Unanimous admiration was felt by all the Chinese officers at the activity and energy of the Mikado, who rode erect on horseback following the move- ments of his army for over two hours without the least sign of weariness.'
VICEROY YUAN'S FUTURE POLICY, according to a reliable Chinan dispatch, will be a strong one and a great contrast to that of his predecessors of the past thirty years. In the first place, H.E. is determined to make Tientsiu his headquarters in spite of the presence of the
Provisional Government; in the next place, there are the Peiyang Naval forces, which are to be considerably added to within the next few years, with English or American Naval officers to organise and reconstruct the squadron; and, thirdly, the whole of the land forces of bath Chibli and Shantung are to be entirely reorganised and modelled after his present Army Corps, to form a meder fighting
force of one hundred thousand men, NEW-MADE GUNS AT THE KIANGNAN ARSENAL.

THE RUSSIAN VOLUNTEER FLEET. Owing to the expiration, with the end of the current year, of the term for the present regula. tions governing the Russian Volunteer Fleet according to which the government allowed to the above fleet an annual subsidy of Rs. 600,000 with the stipulation that the latter construct with that term four fast ocean steamers, which could be used as cruisers, in time of war; this stipula tien having now been accomplished with the building of the steamer 'Smolensk, launched last June, the Committee of the Volunteer Flect presented to the Government a projèct for new regulations to govern the fleet for a certain number of year.

ADMIRAL REMEY AT VLADIVOSTOCK. The United States cruiser Brooklyn, with Admiral Remey on board, arrived at this port and exchanged the customary salutes with the forts and several Russian men-of-war anchored in the harbour. Later the Admiral exchanged visits with the naval and military authorities. The American sailors were quite surprised to find Vladivostock such a big place, and are much impressed with the attention shown them here by the Russians.
