JAPANESE NAVAL INCREASE.

The Shimpo states that the Japanese Naval Authorities have drafted a programme for the extension of the Navy, which is to be effected in four years, starting from next year. The schame includes the construction of 4 first class battleships of 15,000 tons each, and 6 second class cruisers of 6,500 tons, each. The four battleships and six cruisers are estimated to cost 60 million and 35 million Yeu respectively, The sum of million Yen is to be devated to the improvement of the Admiralty part of Sasebo. The Japanese authorities also wish to construct is destroyers and so torpedo boats in the term mentioned, and are reported to have already approached a shipbuilder in England, The Government intends in future to undertake the construction of all warships-with the exception of battleships-in the abilpbuilding yards of Japan, and is arranging for an expert enquiry into the merits of the various styles of building.

MONSTER SAW FISH.

Not far from Singapore, the master of the 5.5. New Guinea, Captain F. Smith, secured the saw from, perbaps, the largest fish of its kind ever caught. On May 17, when the vessel was in the Catimata Strait, the weather being very fine, the chief officer, Mr. Devitt, baited a large shark-hook and threw it over the steamer's stern, allowing the line to trail behind. At 2 pm the bail was taken, and from the great strain on the line it was at once guessed that large "gante" had been hooked, The fish which proved to be a gigantic saw fiab struggled furiously in the water, and it was feared that it would be immossible to go and get it on board. The tumult caused in the sea by THE MONSTER'S TAIL

resembled that of a large steamer's propeller when partly.out.of the water. The line was, however, fixed to the No. 2 winch, and the fish was bauled alongside. A wire stock was placed round its body, and it was hauled on to the deck and despatched. When measured it was found to be 27ft, in length. The saw, which was cut off and preserved, measures four and a half feet in length, 1 foot in width, and is armed with 34 teeth, varying from one to over two inches in length. Captain Smith, intends to hand the trophy over to the Melbourne Muscun

a stipulation as that assented to in t'e abortive. Alcock Convention, whereby the merchant was deprived of the right of exhibiting his hong name. If the inland agency is a bona fide concem the name of the hong should be exhibited in token of its genuineness, and when the agency is in charge of nativo employés they' should'ho able to produce documentary proof from the merchant's Consul that they are in the employ of a foreign frm. It would at all events furnish some extra safeguard, besides be a probable means of Increasing trade, that the merchant, or his agent, can be on the spot and see to his goods himself under whatever new arrangement as to tariff may be finally arrived at It has been proved in the past that so long as merchants are

it was hopeless to expect the Chinese officials to forego their time-honoured cust

d custom of taxing already freed goods in native hands--when merely bound by a treaty engagement which the Consular authorities were powerless to enforce. In working the Opium Convention the Chinese have not given cause for very numerous complaints, though there have doubt. lass been cases of its infraction, which natives fear to report openly. We may be permitted the hope that any new arrangement may be kept more strictly. But in any case the right of inland residence would, as we have stated, form an additional safeguard, which it would not be necessary should carry with it the abroga tion of the extra-territorial clauses of the treaty. This paint could be arranged by a system of passports issued by the Consuls.

The U. S. Consul at Tamsui; Mr. J.-W. Davidson, has sent home a brief report as to the class of bicycles best suited to For tasa's requirements. While men's wheels are generally preferred, it is worth while to note that Chinese male riders do not object to a lady's wheel; in fact, owany prefer it, as it is possible with the latter to wear the characteris- tic long coat. Japanese and Chinese, who are practically the only customers for bicycles inakute na, sallarival here, after which no claims will be Formosa, will average somewhat under for- eigners in height. Consequently, a 22-inch me is the most suitable; in fact, dealers will not accept 24-inch frames. The double-tube tyre seems to be the only one suited to For mosa. High grade wheels are too expensive for this market A good strong wheel with. bruke and double tyres, selling in two-dozen lots at, say, $15 to $16 a wheel, would receive a warm welcome, and even.at $17 to $18 there would be some demand.
