He believes that the naval forces here are inadequate to pre- vent a great tragedy. He thinks that only the fortified Japanese Concession-which is hourly be- strengthened-will be ade- quate to meet the shock, which will, he says, be sudden and over- whelming and must engulf many, He states deliberately that unless strong foreign military forces come here immediately it will be too late, with disaster, inevitable,
American Fear.
Americans here are depressed at the fearful account of their Government's alleged refusal to charter a ship to remain here if evacuation should become neces- sary.
They arrived at the end of last week by the M., M. Chenonceaux, and yesterday were brought ashoro at the Old Ningpo Wharf, whereafter they made their way to the French Concession along Broadway, the Bund and Rao du Consulat.

KHIVA AT SHANGHAI.
TASENGERS' STORIES.
Shanghai, Aprl! 22. From passengers' stories it ap- pears that the Khiva anffered from very heavy rain and fog after leaving Hongkong and the Cap- tain was unable to leave the ridge. The ship passed insido Steep Island lighthouse, proceeding. at half speed, sounding constantly,
The fog concealed the land- marks, and the lighthouse which was normally visible from twenty miles became invisible from two miles. Very strong currents from Hangchow Bay swept the Khiva seven miles out of her courge. She stove in her bows on a small pinnacle of one of the many fa- lands thereabouts just before mid-- night.

This particular mistake brought to the notice of those who saw the tanks a very interesting feature of their mechanism, for in making a sharp turn the tanks appeared to raise themselves up on their rear wheels.

Cod-Liver Oil with the Pleasant Taste
"BYNOL"
TRADE MATUR
Bynol is a perfect combination of Norwegian Cod Liver Oil with the finest Malt Extract and possesses unique nutritive and body-building properties. As an energising and protective food for children and adults it has no superior. Although containing a very high proportion of Cod-Liver Oil the taste of this is so effectively masked in Bynol' that it can be taken readily in cases where the oil alone could not be tolerated.
The following letter testifies to the pleasant taste of this preparation.
