NAVAL SENIORITY IN SHANGHAI.

RANK OF BRITISH ADMINAL.

In the House of Commons on the 7th Instant Mr. Gershom Stewart asked the First Lord of the admiralty whether the Japanese admiral was senior officer in command of the bluejackets and marines Janded during

recent operations at Shanghai: whether the British admira! hold the full rank of vice-admiral while on the China Station; and what was the rank of the Japanese admiral at presont in command of the landing parties.

Lord C. Beresford also inquired whe ther a vice-admiral had been in command of the British naval force in Chinese waters since 1865: whether the present Commander-in-Chief in China held the rank of rear-admiral with temporary rank as acting vice-admiral; whether n Japanese admiral, as senior naval officer. present, lately assumed command of the international forces landed at Shanghai: and whether, having regard to the British interests in the East and the importance, to Great Britain of maintaining the prestige which it had always held in those waters, the Admiralty would consider the propriety of ensuring that the British Commander-in-Chic should not in any circumstances bo plased in a position making him subordinate to the admiral of any foreign nation.

Mr. Macnamara (Secretary to the Ad- miralty) replied: In accordance with the usual practice the British Com mander-in-Chief on the China Station iá an officer of the rank of vice-admiral For the first two months after assuming command he held the acting rank only but he now holds the substantive rank. The Japanese flag officer in command of the international landing parties at Shanghai is also a vice-admiral, but senior in that rank. Had the British Commander-in-Chief happened to be the senior, it by no means follows that he would have landed on this occasion. The prestige of this country would not. in my opinion, be well served by filling naval posts with officers of unnecessarily high rank merely in order to make it more difficult for officers of other nations to be senior. It could not, of course, be made impossible.
