When the troubles began last year with the Foreign Powers in the north the fast cruisers and other men-of-war of the Peiyang Squadron in the absence of safe, adequate harbours had to Yangtze (Kiangyin). Chinese-like, in lack of system, the presence of the Pelyang ships in the Yangtze was made the pretext of compell ing the Viceroy at Nanking to pay the expenses of maintenance of these cruisers, which being unacceptable to the Southern Administration the latter tried to decline assuming the ex-, penses and responsibilities of the Nonhem, says the Universal Gazette. As this could not officials did the next best thing-dismissed the great majority of the officers and crews, those remaining acting the part of care-takers more than anything else. It is now rumoured from Peking that certain officials have suggested to the throne to turn over all the ships of the Peiyang Squadron to any Foreign Power or Powers who may wish to take them as part payment of the Chinese Indemnity (1) Further, that it is alleged that a certain high Russophile Mandarin is already in communication with the Russians to turn these vessels over to them on the terms above noted-with what resul remains to be seen.

The offences are:-

1. Intentionally tripping.

2. Intentionally charging from behind. 3. Intentionally pushing.. 4. Intentionally kicking. 5. Intentionally jumping.
