THE NEW FRENCH MINISTER AT | A RUSSIAN VIEW OF JAPANESE
PEKING.
At the French Consulate-General on the night of the toth inst., says a Shanghai paper, a reception was held, in order that M. Beau, the new French Minister to Peking, might become acquainted with his compatriots in Shanghai, About to guests were present, in cluding a good number of officials, officers of both services, and others. As soon as the guests arrived they were introduced by M. Ratard, the Consul General, to M Beau and to Mme Ratard. About ten o'clock dancing began, to the inspiriting music of the Town Band under Signor Valenza, and the utmost gaiety prevailed. The hospitality of the Con sulate was as generous as is always the case with our neighbours, and the evening was a brilliant success,
M. Beau arrived'in Shanghai by the M.M.S. Laos, and leaves immediately for the North on

However costly it niay be to keep the machinery of national govemment running it is a startling fact that to run a first-class battle ship for a year makes a bigger hole in the Exchequer than to maintain the British Cabinet: of twenty Ministers, many of whom have salaries of £5.000 a year. Indeed, the yearly allowance of ammunition for a single big gun often costs more than three months official salary of a Secretary of State. To build and equip first-class cruiser like the Blaks leases very little change, comparatively speaking on of half a million pounds; and a battleship Ike the Majestic runs away with something like £840,00 If we take a ship of the Royal Sovereign class, the average cost of which was £775,000, we find that the capital sunk in her represents an annual interes, at a per cent,
21,312. To this annual charge we must add the depreciation, estimated at-4-per-cent & year, or a sum of £31,000-making, with the interest on capital sunk, an annual charge of £1,000 a week for the ship alone, quite apart, from the cost of manning, and running her." Thus, at the very start, we have a yearly ex- penditure, for a single vessel, which represents ibe interest on 1,902,000 worth of Consols.
The salaries and wages of the ship's crew absorb more than £30,000 a year, or £2,500 a month, for a crew of about 700 officers and
men,
An advice from St. Petersburg states that the Novo Vremya has had an extraordinary article on Japanese finance. It starts from the report that the financial disorders in Japan have lately culminated in the suspension of payment on the part of hundreds of banks. This is no doubt fabricated news.created for some special purpose in view, and as the whole article is founded upon this extraordinary and erroneous report of the state of finance our country, it is hardly worth commenting upon. Our St. Petersburg.contemporary then goes on to say that Japan has no cause for apprehend. ing any external danger, yet she has chosen to pursue a purely aggressive policy in the expec tation of gaining a foothold on the continent. The pursuance of such a policy on the part of the Japanese Government, according to the editor, is probably the result of some counsels THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS AND from London.

These. coals cost as nearly as possible £6,000, which represents a cost for coals of twelve shillings for every mile covered during a year's travels. of a vessel of this size (over 14,000 tons, and steaming at 17.5 knots an hour) a single day's coal bill, even when ranning at reduced speed, may well amount to £120 or £130..
We further learn from the despatch that the British Minister contemplates inserting the clause concerning the Increase in Customs Tariff in the commercial treaty, whereby some other advantages may be demanded. This is the reason why, when the German, Japanese, and American Ministers the other day in a con. ference upon the indemnity question, proposed to take pledges the salt gabelle, grain tribute, and the proceeds from the increase in Customs Tariff, the British Minister ob- jected to the final point. The indemnity pay able by China to the Foreign Powers is pro- bably to be between the sum of 450,000,000 and 500,000,000 taels.
It is the intention of the Powers, while demanding of China the indemnity, to revoke the conservative policy on her behalf and this will be considered as a clause in the treaty. In the event of the salt gabelle and grain tribute being taken as pledge for the indemulty, it is necessary that. the terms of the collection as they are at present, should be changed; and further, should, the old system of the eight ban per corps be abandoned, the rations which were formerly issued to those serving under these banners, may then be taken in part payment of indemnity. The Japanese Minister, however, does not take part in the reformation, as he says it is China's own business whether she reforms or not, China being an independent country.
The despatch in conclusion talks about with- drawal of the allied troops which, as it states, will not be proceeded with until the settlement of the indemnity question.

News received from an authoritative source from Wladivostock states, says the Nagasaki Prest of the 3rd inst., that the Russian military authorities at the above port have been advised officially from St. Petersburg that the Russian Japan, Government has made overtures" offering the latter the ports of Dalny and Port Arthur in the event of Japan offering no op. position to the acquisition by Russia of an ice-free port" in Korea. In connection with the matter, the naines of Masampo and Port Lazatelf are mentioned.
From the same source we learn that all building operations both at Port Arthur, and Dalny have been suspended by order of the Russian Government, which presumably is awaiting Japan's reply.
That Japan is preparing for any Russian move on Koren would seem to be evidenced by the fact that the, Army reserves are being called up. We learn that many reserve officers in this city have been requested to report themselves at once to Hiroshima, ·

Even now our yearly bill is by no means complete, for we must add an item af £4,500 for
consumable stores" of all kinds, such as paint, oil, &c., and a further sum of £4,500 or £5,000 for depreciation of boats, tools, and other "non-consumable" stores. Repairs may well claim a further payment of £5,000 a year, and in many cases even this sum has been largely exceeded. It costs more than half as much to feed the guns of one of our largest men-of-war as. to feed its crew. The yearly allowance of ammunition for a 67-ton gun cosis £1,400, and for a six-inch quick-firing gun as nearly as possible one-tenth of this amount.
The total yearly expenditure on ammunition for a first-class battleship is be tween £8,000 and £9,000. Thus the items of our annual bill may be taken as follows: In terest on cost of battleship, £21,312; depre ciation of battleship. £31,000; pay of crew, £30,000; food of crew, 15,000; coals, £6,000; stores, 9,000; repairs, £5,000; ammunition, LB,500; making a total cost for the year of
125,812, or nearly one-sixth of the original cost of the ship. Every mile covered by the ship costs the country twelve guineas; every month it absorbs more than the Lord Chan cellor's yearly salary; and every year it costs the equivalent of the interest on more than four and a half millions of Consals.-Cassell's Saturday Journal.
