Pacific coast and the far east. An

Midpoint Fort Two three-Inch guns.
Honolulu on October 8 there were
eight mortars all told and guns were
ordered there, but It la not ascertain
able whether Or not big guns, torpedoes
or searchlights have arrived at that
station. On the same date, October 8
the excavations were flnlshel for two
eight-Inch guna, to be put Into position
at Cavlte. The full armament at Ca
vlte Is to be fourteen eight-inch guns,
two twelve-inch guns, twelve three
inch guns and eight mortara. The
fourteen-inch gun is the most powerful
weapon In the world and the eight at
Cavlte would make It impregnnble.
It Is not ascertainable whether the
mine and torpedoes needed at Manila
bay have reached there yet.
The fort Is provided with half a
uuEcn ien-uicn guns ana six six-inch
guns. The old Spanish armament la
said to be worthless.
Sublg Bay It Is known that six
navy seven-Inch guns were sent to Su
big Bay. It Is provided also now with
four thlrty-slx-lnch oearchllghta and
pas at hand all the mining and tor
pedo material needed. There are no
valuable defenses at Guam, although
they are being provided. There will be
four elx-loch guns, eight mortars and
mlnea.
There will be aent to Honolulu elx
twelve-Inch guns, four six-Inch guns
and sixteen mortara. This will make a
powerful defense by reason of the large
number of twelve-inch guns. The power
of the big guns to be used In all the de
fenses is as follows:
The fourteen-lnch a-ima win -
twelve Inches of Krupp armor at 8.000
yards. The twelve-Inch guns will pierce
tne earns armor at ,000 yards, and thj

To prove his point he submits a re
view of the Korean budget before Japan
took charge. Soroe of the moat start
ling items are appropriations of 11,000,
000 for the funeral expenses of the
crown princess and of $650,000 for bury
inar the aueen dowaa-er. -
By way of contrast the aum of $424
waa appropriated for public works and
by the same budget the imperial privy
purse received $1,103,159. The appro
priation for all schools in the -country,
excepting those at the capital, amount
ed to the sum of $27,718: but this was
the year the princess had to be buried,
bo of course education bad to stand
aside.
The navy got $450,604 a year. At
least that amount was appropriated.
But as the navy consisted of one old
gunboat perhaps the navy did npt get
the whole amount.
Professor Maxey declares that the
government- might better have spent
$450,000 a year on a wildcat, the latter
being capable of quite as much fighting
as the navy, as ror tne army its por
tion was $5,000,000 a year, which was
about $4,899,000 , more than it was
worth.
When the Pingyang regiment was or
dered to the front its colonel assembled
the soldiers and asked all those who
wished to go to hold up their hands.
Though this unique method of ordering
troops to the front possessed the ad
vantage of reducing the regiment ato a
size that wa no longer unwieiay, n
does not appeal even to. civilians as be
ing either practical or evidence of good
military 'discipline, and there is little
likelihood of its receiving the indorse
ment of military men. r
Yet strange as it may Beam, this is
not an exceptional Instance. It -Is a
recognised practice in the Korean army
for the soldiers to hold a mass meet
ing and vote upon whether or not they
will go where they have been-ordered.
' Korea has a pension bureau, too; but
as the bureau gets an appropriation of
$27,552 a1 year, while it pays out exactly
$1,966 in pensions, there seems to be a
case of grafting with two fists. Tber

For instance, a courtier proceeds to
the home of a well-to-do Korean, and
having found the owner, eaya: "I am
delighted to be the bearer of good newa
and a reward of merit. His majesty
the emperor has graciously deigned to
bestow upon, you the decoration of the
second class of the Order of the Plum
Blossom, and to send it to you by my
unworthy hand."
Having thus manifested th. interest
which his majesty takes in his subjects
he Informs the newly made knight of
the Order of the Plum Blossom that the
expenses connected with the bestowal !
of this high honor will be $5,000. Aa
