The matter progreŵted to the partilous state that when Admiral Carpenter was about to escort an American merchant ship out of a Japanese port to prevent her detention by the japanese, the latter, it is said, gave orders to the shore batteries at the mouth of the harbor to fire upon the American naval vessels if they attempted to do so. This fact came out after the conclusion of the armistice, which fortunately occurred at just this point in the negotiations, thereby preventing an incident that would cer talely have resulted in war.

RE JAPAN'S NEW MAVY,
Thus the Frisco Chronicle of the rgtk ultimo:— In considering the evident purpose of Japan to strengthen its navy it is hardly to be conceived that difference of tan or aven twenty per cent in cost will, in itself, torn the scale in favour of English shipyards... It Is conceded in Great Britain that the recent voyage of the Cebumila“ scross the Atlantic was faster than any vessel la the British navy could miske under natural draft. The Olympia, under orders for the Chinese station, will make a similar run to Honolulé, and It is believed that she will at least equal the Columbia's record. The Olympia will reach Japan about the time that the manager of the, Union Iron Works gets there, and he will have the benefit of showing the Japanese an actual cruiser built here, as well as to refer to the Charleston, San Francisco and Monterey, in actual service, and the Oragon nearly ready to go Into commission. When a astion buys skips of war it does" not always buy them where it can get them the most cheaply. There ara other considerations besides chapness; Just as when an individual bays a guri er à pistol for his owa protection, he wants a weapon he can rely upon in iime of extremity ar necessity, and that
is just what a nation waste in a war ship. The Japanese, we venture to say, are too shrewd to fet a few dollars or pounds sterling stand in the way of their gatting what they want, super "cially as the money has not come out of
of their pockets, but from the war indemnity extorted from the Chinase. They can afford to pay well for such war vessels as they, want, and ifit comes to a comparison we are willing to put San Francisco-balit vessels against similar Vessels bulit anywhere la the world.
kure in every reason to hope, if not to believs, that Irving M. Scott will return from Japan with Government contracte enough to make the Untan Iron Wołke a bury hive of industry toe' - zavaral years to some,
