Admiral Sah was recently discussing the Naval question with certain high officials when one of them suggested that the Throne should be memorialized to establish & Board for Naval Affairs forthwith. The Admiral replied that this was not the time for such a proceeding, that as the Naval organization of the foreign Powers was changing every day, and that what was formerly considered perfect was now, ob solete and useless Now the Throne bed decid. ed to reconstruct the Navy in order that the" country might become powerful and bad on ac- count of his experience in naval matters entrust- ed that important and responsible task to Admiral Sab. It was thirty years since he was a Naval cadet in England; and Bard for Naval A fairs were now created in accordance with the system of his school days, China would be the laughing stock of the whole world. What he proposed to do now was to send stuings during the season, counting, 4 points for depts to the foreign unviei and to go abroad himself to study the present naval systems of the Powers, and then to establish a special board for the Navy on the latest principles. Besides, as not a single battleship bad as yet, bees built, or bad the site of a single naval port been decided upon it would be a wanton waste of money to establish a Naval Board st present-Shanghat Times.
