The dynamite cruisers, the torpedo cruiser and two of the tor pedo boats are completed and in com mission. In considering the strength of the United States on the seas no mention has beeu made of the good ships which have carried the starry flag for so many years, while as yet the new navy was untbougbt of. Perhaps the omission may be best explained by quoting Sec retary Herbert, who says: “In mid ocean our old ships, with tbeir anti quated guns and low rate of speed would not, all put together, be a match for a single first class battleship. The latter could choose its own distance and with its high power guns sink our ships, one after another, ut pleasure.” All of the vessels which composed the navy up to 1883 will probably be with drawn from active service within three years from the present date. The government lias provided for a sufficient number of cruisers, Secretary Herbert thinks. More battleships are wauted now. In battleships consists the tlgfilingstrength of a modern navy. With seven or eight more of these and a reasonable number of torpedo boats for accessories, ours would rank fifth among tbe navies of the world. When naval estimates are being considered in congress, arguments are often made witq tbe intention to show that the sea coast cities and population only are in terested in supporting 11 navy. In fact, fouu-fifths of tbe exports of this coun try are products of the field, the fores( and the mine. The producers of these articles must have foreign markets, it is to the navy that they must look for the protection of this commerce. Ths building of tbe new navy has cost only 32 cents annually for every man, woman and child in the United States during the last ten years. Who will say that It is not money well laid out? Supposing the navy of China te be routed, it would be necessrry In case of war to land troops on tbe soil of the Flowery Land and bring tbe country to terms. In this connection the Chi nese army is worth considering. Its ordinary fighting strength is about 1,- 200,000 men, though it is not possible to make an estimate witli accuracy. Each province supportsits own mili tary force for keeping order, for the protection of its own territory and far national defense in case of need. In time of peace the regiments are skele tonized. Corruption pervades tbe ser. vice as it does every branch of public affairs in that country. Officers give the soldiers indefinite leave and packet their pay. When the occasion for fighting arises the battalions are has tily Ailed in with men undisciplined and unprepared. Not long ago there was trouble in Formosa, and recruits were inveigled on board of ships by a false pretense. When they found out whither they were going, great num bers of the men jumped overboard and were drowned. The regular infantry of the empire numbers somewhat more than 500,000; there are somewhat less than 100,000 cavalry. There is also a hereditary and privileged soldiery composed of Man- chus and Mongols, with many Chinese descended from those who joined the Invading Manchus in 1643. These ban ner men, as they are called, are sup posed to inherit a strong devotion to the present Tartar dynasty. In twelve provincial capitals they and tbeir fami lies are assigned to special fortiAed quarters, in order to isolate them from the other inhabitants as far as possible, thus securing the purity of their patri otic stock. Sixty thousand of them are stationed at Pekin, where there are 163,000 troops in all. The capital city has somewhat the appearance of a vast intrenched camp, being under military rule and protected by a series of double and triple walls. The banner men are seldom required to drill, and when called out they mus ter with rusty swords, bows and spears. Their pay is very small and usually they are permitted to pursue occupa tions in civil life for subsistence. The regular infantry is armed with Russian muzzleloading rifles, swords, shields aud spears, bows and arrows and all sorts of queer medieval weapons. The methods of warfare hitherto practiced by tbe Chinese have been the most primitive Imaginable. Hav ing thrown up intrenebments And posted their men to slaughter an ene my in front they regarded an attack on the Aank as low minded and cowardly, very much as an American boy would consider a kick in the stomach as an unallowable diversion in fistcuffs. When they fought with the British navy they were astonished to discover that their tiger faced shields and the clangor of the gongs, cymbals and oth er strange instruments played by their regimental bands failed to terrify the enemy. Their long respected books on tactics prescribe, with illustrations, certain speciAc grimaces which must accompany each attitude with the gun or spear in drill. These “mugs” are supposed to frighten the foe. At Can ton, where arms of American patterns are now being manufactured, the Rem ington and Spencer rides have been en larged to a caliber of one inch, with barrels six feet long. On being told that sach a length was ’ excessive, a Chinese gun factory superintendent re plied that “bs knew it, but the increas ed size gave the weapon a more for midable appearance.” China is tbe only country in the world where the profession of arms is not honored. There, on the contrary, it is held in the utmost contempt. Tbe people have a proverb that says: “As one would not use good iron to make a nail, so one would not use a good man to make a soldier.” Branded a« the T hursday , VOL. V. NO. 19 june 8,1893. refuse of society, the warrior class has been condemned by government policy to hopeless ignorance. Preserving tra ditions antedating the Invention of Are- arms, officers of tbe army need have no education, being merely required to be trained athletes—to lie expert arch ers and swordsmen and to swing heavy weights. One of the most important uses to which soldiers are put is to ex terminate grasshoppers. In time of a plague of these insects they march against them under the leadership of their officers as if proceeding to meet a hostile army iu the Aeld. Each man is armed with a coarse hempen bag at tached to a bamboo pole, which is waved back aud forth among the swarms uutil the bag is Ailed. Then the contents are crushed and tbe per formance is repeated. Regiment« of ducks are kept for the same purpose in China, and when grasshoppers have a year these birds are not allowed to be killed. The execution they do is said to be astonishing. The farmers receive from the government 4 cents a pound for dead grasshoppers or for their eggs, which they dig out of the ground. The Chinese empire has ever held aloof In gloomy pride from intercourse with other peoples of the world. From its poiut of view ttyey are all barbarians aud most fitly described as “foreign devils”—a term at ouce of contempt and hatred. Its disastrous war with England sixty years ago did not pre vent the Sou of Heaven from provok ing a second conAict with the same power a few years later. On the latter occasion tbe occupant of the dragoon throne, ruling 400,000,000 people, was unable to prevent a Eurpean army of 20,000 mon from marching to Pekin, where the most beautiful of the royal palaces were destroyed by the invaders In retaliation for the cruelties indicted on prisoners by the Chinese, and the terms of peace were dictated to the em peror. Never in the history of the of world was there exhibited such an il lustration of tbe superiority of disci pline over tbe brute force of numbers. The natives resisted tbe invaders withjfrantic courage, but they had no chance in a fight against European sol diers, trained in the art of war at its highest development. They gazed awe stricken upon the fleet of frowning for tresses sailing up the river toward the cnpital city. In every armed collision they were shot down like sheep. The Manebus, descendents of the ancient invincible conquerors of the country, when they found themselves beaten, would commouly cut the throats of their women, throw their children into wells and stab themselves, wheth er through despair or because they ex pected no mercy at tbe hands of the victors. The survivors who Aed would sometimes pack their valuables in cof fins or wrap costly furs around corpses. One small footed lady was found curled up and hidden in a drawer of a cup board of a captured war junk. One great impediment to military opera tions in Chinu is the want of good highways Every stream and canal for lack of bridges, constitutes a barrier. Some of the European prisoners taken by tbe Chinese were skinned alive, their bodies afterward being burned. The ears of others were cut off. United States soldiers and sailors captured in war by these heathens might expect similar treatment. According to. the records of the de partment of state, there are now 1,153 citizens of the United States resident in China, of whom over 400 are at Shanghai. Nearly 600 of the entire number are missionaries. One reason why the emperor is not likely to resort to retaliatory measures is that this country affords to his na tion a very proAtable market. In 1892 we sold to the Chinese $5,600,000 worth of merchandise, and purchased from them $16,000,000 worth of goods. In short, we buy from them three times as much ns we sell to them, and such good customers are not to be sneezed at so to speak. Imports sent hitber from the middle kingdom used to be consid erably larger than at present, but the Chinese have injured their trade with us by sending over adulterated teas and other fraudulent stuff.— Rene Baehr.
