The Morning Post's Chefoo correspondent wires that an increase of anti-foreign policy is permeating to Pekin and that there is grave possibility of China's neutrality being broken soon, in spite of official assumnces to the contrary, by a general upheaval of the people.

Heathford was attached this morning by the Sheriff's office on a claim for salvage from Colombo. It appears that when the ship was voyaging out East last year she caught on fire and salvage services were rendered in Colombo harbour, a claim being made for an amount of about £7,co. The ship went away without satisfying the claims and since they have remained unsettled. The ship again came out East this year under, we understand, fresh char terers and as she did not call at Colombo is structions were sent to stop her here, which has been done, and no clearance will be granted until some arrangement is arrived at. A set tlement will probably come from the under- writer.

What the nature of this wound is one may judge from the results of the recent Belleisie trials where the hole made was some ten feet in diameter.

in one or two cases, but the damage created by the severe shock to the ship, internally, is far more serious, and it is to be doubted whether the torpedoed Russian ships can be made even seaworthy at Port Arthur. They may float, but that is probably all that can be said for them. The range of the large size torpedo is about a mile and three quarters, as has been pointed out in a previous article, and its speed for the greater part of this range is about thirly knots, ie, that of the fastest ship afloat. Some idea of this speed may be gathered from the fact that the torpedo-takes less than two minutes to cover its range. It is practically impossible to disable it by gun fire, partly on account of its speed, and mainly from the fact of its running beneath the surface. The smaller torpedo is used by torpedo boats and steam launches. It is similar in construction, but carries a much smaller charge of explosive- about half that of the larger size the torpedo having only half the diameter. The Japanese torpedo boats carry either two or three of these weapons which can be discharged simultaneously or one at a time, while the Those who are interested in what may be ships are generally armed with a couple of described as the underground life of Singapore torpedo tubes on each side below the water- have for some time suspected that crimping online.
