He was an uncle of the present Earl of Haddington, and of Lord

Two days ago, His Excellency Chang Yao wired from Shantung for a remai tance of two million taels towards closing the gap in the Yellow River Banks, but I am afraid he will have to wait a while for the money, for the remitting of which no preparations have as yet been made here. I am informed upon good authority that matters are looking very serious at the breach. The various syndicates who have their headquarters at Tientsin have, per their Chinese agents, forwarded their respective schemes for closing the gap. The estimates range from three to five million taels. Plans and estimates for dealing with the rapid and embarrassing Tungchow have also been pouring in upon sitting up of the Peiho River from Tientsin to the perplexed Board of Public Works upon whom the responsibility of keeping open this important waterway rests. The estimates are between Tis. 300,000 and Tis. 500 007. It is said here and at Tientsin that the scheme propounded by the "Mysterious One" is a strong favourite, both because of its plausibility and its low price.

The proposed visit of the Shab of Persia to Constantinople has fallen through, all because of failure to agree upon the etiquette to be observed on the occasion. The Sultan is too high and mighty a personage to godown to the dock to greet the Shah on his arrival, as other European potentates have done, and the Shah is too big gun altogether to make his call at the Sulton's lodgings, so there cannot be any visit, and the Shah on his return trip will give Constantinople a wide berth.

The fleet will contain 113 craft of all kinds, as follows: Battle ships 23, coast defence armor-clads 6, cruiser 27, gunboats 11, torpedo gus vessels 3, torpedo gunboats 6, torpedo boats 38. Among the battle ships are five monsters of the "Admiral" class -the Anson, the Howe, the Rodney, the Collingwood and the Camperdown.
These ships are of 10,000 tons displacement, and have 9.500 horse-power, giving a sea speed of fifteen knots. They have armor ranging from fourteen to eighteen inches on the most important parts of their hulls, and they each carry four 67 ton breech-loading rifles with a calibre of 13.5 inches, besides six six-inch breech-loading rifles, fifteen rapid-fire and ten machine guns. These are the pride of the British navỳ. .
