Delcasse's demands; and this information adds con siderable weight to the recent statements made by one of our Northern contem- poraries to the effect that, for some time past, it was freely rumoured in Peking that the Minister of a Power, who shail, for obvious reasons, be at present nameless, called lately at the Waiwupu to ask whether the report that the Central Government had mortgaged the Foochow Naval dockyard and gun- foundry there to the French for a certain sum of money was true.
