Some of the rumours which were going the rounds were to the effect that he had gone to ascertain the conditions which are now pre- vailing in China and to make a report to the secretary of war. Also that in case of a move- ment of the Powers to land troops in China, the division here would probably, next to Great Britain, ba the first to land troops in that coun- ity. In that case the United States would have to obtain some point as a base for the landing
of her troops and that it was the motive of the chief of staff to report upon a suitable location. At present the whole matter is a conjecture, but these rumours may be
possible and, from all indications and facts which have been brought forth during the past few days, may be quite probable, and the departure of Colonel Knight for China may have great significance is connection with the China movement

Writing of a visic to Ching-te Chen, the centre of the porcelain industry, Consul W. J. Clennell remarks: It is not easy to form ac estimate of the average output of the potteries, The chinaware that passes out through the Imperial Customs at Kiukiang for export by steamer, either to foreign countries or to Chi. nese ports, is but a small fraction, which my informants pstal pot above a sixth of the whole. Probably as much more goes out through Kiu- kinor, but not in the way of commerce through the Customs. This is partly the "tribute" por celain which is forwarded to the Court by the Tactal, who is er oficio head superintendent [60 of the Imperial kiln-this, I think, we can put, one year with another, at about 8oo tubs, each containing, perhaps, a hundredweight of 6ne porcelain--and partly articles bought retail and taken away as personal effects of travellers. In this way parhaps a third of the output leaves the province through Kiuklang. From all I heard at least as much goes south by junk through Nanchang and up the Ken Kiver, Canton being generally the ultimate destination. A great deal more goes by road to Chimen, 60 miles, and to Wuyuan, 45 miles, whence it is passed on to Hangchow, Soochow Shanghai, &c,, and some goes overland to Huk'on, Pengise, or T'ung-llu for shipment by Junk on the Yang-tase, Teople have the im- THE
