NAVAL NEWS,
The "Cressy."
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1901:
THE FAN EAST IN PARIAMENT.
The German Garrison in Shanghai.
June 15th.
Mr. J. O'Kelly asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the accups. tion of Shanghai by German troops was in accordance with the terms of the Anglo-German Agreement ; and, if not, whether His Majesty's Government would invite the Genasa Govern- ment to withdraw at an early date all German troops from the Writish here of influence in China.
The delay of the cruiser Crèrty at Potts- mouth owing to a breakdown in her steering gear. has led to a curious experiment being made with non-intlamdable wood. The Cressy is the first of our warships fitted with this material to hoist the pennant. She was com missioned on May 28th, and short as their stay on the ship has been, the Creep'y'officers find that the chemicals, in the non-inflammable wood work injury to their informs, especially the gold face and more expensive parts. Viscount Cranborne: The Anglo Cerman The cabin furniture 'is of the same wood, Arcement is directed to securing freedom of and clothing placed in the drawers receives nude to all nations in the rivers and littoral of injury. By way of investigating the truth of China, and to maintaining the territorial inte. the complaint, the authorities have procured grity of China, and has no relation to the sub-plate. two chests of drawers, one made of minßanject of the han, member's question.. mable wood, the other of ordinary timber, These have been filled with new clothing, Jorked and placed in a room in the Admiral Superintendent's office in the dockyaid. The Lords of the Admiralty will be shown them, but beyond that the drawers and their contents will stay in the offices for a certain length of time then they are to be opened, and a careht! examination made of their contents.
The Accident to the "Cressy." The Cressy, white badly broke down on the eye of her commissioning trials, still firs at Spithead, and there is no innerliate prospect of her going into, harlow. The fact is, says the Naval and Military Retard, that when her steering gear collapsed her rudder jammed, and therefore she cannot proceed under her own steant, nor can she very well be towed with an engevernable rudder. No decision has yet been come to with regard to her turn- ing over to the Athouble, and it is certain that this course will not be adopted if it can be avoided but the more closely the breakdown. is examined the inare difficult does the repair become, owing to the structuval, obstructions that block the centre of the collapse. When the accident occurred it wasntimated that is weeks would be deepied with the repairs, Now officers and much are speculating on the possibility of leaving by the end of Septemler, while word has been passert round the large drafts orly be required for the inaneuvres. The gravity at the brenkaloven has led to the burrying forward of the wilding, which none inally relieves the Burlear, bad which will actually relieve the Costerion-provided, of course, she has come to the end of the tether of her bad back-and when the fates orlain the Cresty will take the place of the Barffeur..
The "Hermione."
As a contribution to the present controversy regard boilers it is worth while to record a recent performance of the second-class cruiser He wilane, fitted with cylindrical boilers, The story is loht lay a correspondent of the Adrial and Military Revorst. The fermion was at Hongking when, at ten o'clock at night, the onder was received to have steam up for full speed by six o'clock, the following morning Two of the bonders were empty and open: the the bars were out of four of the fernances; one boiler was in use for auxiliary purposes; five of the boilers were completely full of water: no tires were laid the main condensers were rupty and important portions of the gear were in the dockyard for repair. By a quarter past ten the full steaming watch for eight hollers had mastered below. The missing gear was fetched from the dockyard in a half-nished condition, and fitted in the best way possible under the circumstances. Everything needed was carried out as quickly as it could be. midnight the centre fies were lighted in all ballers. At a quarter-past five the engines were moved with steam from all eight boilers Thirty-five minutes later the ship was under way. By seven o'clock she was making about if knots, and abe covered 448 miles in twenty. five hours, making an average of aver eighteen knots for the greater part of the journey, though al times she exceeded this by a knit. Surely this is a tribute to the smartness of the crew, it nothing is said for the boiler.

THE ROUND-THE-WORLD WALKER.
It is stated by the Tokio Asahi (qunted by the Japan Herald) that Mr. G. M. Schilling, round the world walker, who recently arrived in Japan and who was enthusiastically received, did not always refrain from availing himself of railway facilities, etc, despite his pledge simply to walk. He has, therefore, practised a decep- tion, anft if he claims the reported five thous and dollars reward, he will be guilty of fraud. In support of this contention, it is stated by the a that Mr. Schilling, alighted from a train on the 6th May at the Harada Station in Fukuoka Ker, and it is supposed that he did so at this out-of-the-way station in order to conceal the fact of his travelling by rail. It is added that at p.n. on the 17th May, Schilling alighted from the train at Hiroshima, and on the following day he walked to Kaida and thence took train to Niwase in Okayama Ken, and on the 2nd June at 2.15 p.m. he took a train at Shidzunka and alighted at the Yoko: hama station at 8.34 p.m. the same day. The Asahi cites many other instance in order to prove that the famous walker never scrupled to make use of railway facilities.
