GROSS CORRUPTION · IN FOOCHOW NAVY,

The Sin Wen Pao is informed that the Foo chow Arsenal has several despatch boats which are maintained by the Authorities. During late years, the commanders, mates, engineers, cadets and even sailors have not only been constantly absent from service but have overdrawn their salaries. Some of them have gone so far as to hold two positions in $500,000.00 the same service, thus one man drawing the pay of two. In a word, gross corruption prevails in the whole service. The Foochow Naval Authorities have now taken steps to have these evils eliminated and reorganize the system.

Ocean steamships of the largest tonnage are now becoming quite common sights in San Francisco bay. Their number is steadily in- creasing, but ils demands of a growing com. merce are calling for still more. In a few years, if they keep on multiplying at the rate they have done during the past three or four years, they will become as numerous here as they are now in the harbour of New York. In all direc› tions these big liners are now plowing the waters of the Pacific, either headed this way or carry- ing cargoes hence to distant foreign ports

Thus far, the Siberia is the largest vessel which has entered San Francisco harbour. Her registered tonnage is three tons in excess of that of the Koren, älthough both: ships were built on the same lines. A decade ago no one suspected that such big craft could ever get cargoes enough here to keep them regularly employed; but no one is now rash enough to doubt that much larger ones and many more of them will be employed regularly in the commerce of the port within the next ren years. Every new vessel of larger type which is added to this home fleet ought to stimulate us to adopt a new policy for the improvement of the water front and the enlargement of its fcilities. We are seemingly wide awake to all other conditions and possibilities except this one, which is fast becoming an urgent necessity.

THE WEATHER,

The following report is from Mr. F. G. Figg, Acting Director of the Hongkong Obser-

vatory:--

On the 7th at 11.50 a.m. The barometer has risen over Japán, fallen on the China coast, particularly in the North.

Pressure is highest over the E. coast of China, and W. Japan, and relatively low over the N. part of the China Sea.

Decreasing mensoon in the Formosa Chan- nel, and off the S. coast of China.

Forecast-fresh to moderate E. winds; un settled, rainy.
