I, Tong King-sing, and your other direo- tors have transacted foreign business for nearly twenty years, more than ten of which have been devoted exclusively to steamship traffic, so we have had a certain amount of experience of it. When we had the honour to be appointed by Earl Li, Directors of the China Merabants' Company, after extensive luvestigations and enquiries as to the best means of benefiting the mercantile com- munity, we submitted with deference our plans for establishing a Steam Navigation Company to men of the highest intelligence, Paymaster Charles P. Thompson, U.S.N., some of whom expressed fears that this who only arrived from San Francisco by would damage the carrying trade of the the City of Tokio on the 3lat nitima, and Shanghai junks.

Our Shanghai junks having diminished, we must adopt some plan to replace them; steamships having increased, we must get steamships too, and our best plan will be to give up our junks and take to steamships. The trade of our junks having been taken away by ateamers, every time a junk is injured or worn out, it means there is one junk less (e., they are not row replaced. Our junkmen have lost their livelihood on account of foreign steamers; when there is one junk less, forty or fifty men, seamen, get out of employment. It has come to this now-a days that it is better for the community to subscribs their capital for the purchase of steamships, thao to expend their money in replacing Shanghai Junks better to employ and teach our junkmen navigation on board stenmors, than to turn them adrift as vagabonds. We advocate a radical change.
