HONGKONG, TUESDAY, MAY 12, 1885. THE extremely unsatisfactory condition of the law affecting Chinese passengers at Singapore bus again been forcibly brought forward. Upon a farmer oc- casion, when we passed some strictures upon the absence of harmony between Hongkong and Singapore to this regard, the steamer concerned tad arrived, in the Straits from Swatow.

If any object ware gained, abuse check-

be some reason for the resuscitation of this curiosity of legislation. So far from this being the case, however, it seems that the only eff ct which such a restriction exerciara is to bear harshly and unfairly upon the shipowners who carry on a trafin which is not only legitimate but which enters largely into the prosperity of the Straits Settlements, Complaints were litely made by British steaner-owners that German measure- ment is the Chinese Const Porm were more liberal than those imposed by Egli- enactments, szd that this eir cumstanco gave German, vessels au 42- duc advantage over ships winch sailed ander the British fog. In pucting a stop to this practice, the Singapore authorities were fairly within the ex- ervise of their reasonable duty. But it pusor the comprehension of any one who looks into the subject to under. stand why two British Colonies go. verned by similar Imperial lawa should play at cross-purposes; in A matter which affects the commercial in terests of aach. The latest prosecutiva under the Singapore law is that against the Plan Chuda Chora Klas, which vesel rouched Singapore from Swntow on the same day us the Fidelio arrived. from Hongkong, Except that the post of departure was different, the cirena stances of the ease were the same; and the fine impose was equally an unfair mne upon a tegltima e trade. A pro- reat lis, we believe, beca addressed tu the Colonial Secretary of Singapore la refrence to this case; and as cormin re- presentations liave also heno made to the Colonial authorities hero, as well us to the Chamber of Commiperce, some al- teration may soon be looked for in the law which will remove what now looks very like a scandalous discord for no- reason whatever. During the incoming puma seuson, when the Hongkong Government vory properly prohibit the carriage of Clingers on the deck, no cases will arise where the re gulacions of the two ports come into antoniem; but it is surely not too inticu 10, expect that some harmonious arrangement will be arrived at between the two" Governments are the typhoon senton comes to an end. It may be added that the alleged excessive numbe of passengers carried by the fam Chula Chon Kao were bound for Bang- kuk, and only went into Bingsport en route but even this considerailem ap pears to have been an insuficient ground for lamence on the part of the sothorities in the Straits. Altogether. the action of the Singapore regulation Fees to be vexations in the extreme, and redeeming featurs presents itself in the effects and scope of the law to which objection is taken. Wherever the law proves to be vexations and un- hecessary, it is clear that it ought to be amended
