THE NAVY'S CHAMPION SHOT.

A new crew for the battleship Ocean, on the China station, left Portsmouth yesterday in the cruiser Spartiate, says the P. M. G. of the 70th ult. One interesting point about this is that the recommissioning of the Orean will mean the return to England of the champion 6-inch shot in the navy-or, in fact, in the world. This is Gunner Skein, of the Royal Marine Artillery. Although Skein was the first man to show what could be done with the big quick 15.

The issue of subsidiary coins to the extent of 1,000 million yen in accordance with the above

the Government so far as concerns its dealios scheme, should not involve any special loss for with silver. Again, with regard to the issue of 300 million yen of convertible notes, a portion of them should be lent to the Government without interest for the purpose of establishing order in the national finances, Mr. Sóyeda thinks that a reserve of 100 million jan would suffice for all purposes, and that with such a reserve the gold standard might be adopted throughout the empire. There would then be 100 million. yen of gold reserve in the treasury, 300 million yes of convertible notes in circulation, and 1,000 million yen of subsidiary coins, or 1,400 million yes in all.

A gold coinage is not wanted in China; and to borrow money to institute a gold coinage would be for China 10 repeat Italy's mistake, with the same result, that the gold coins would disappear from circulation as fast as they were issued from the mint.
