CHINA'S SHIPPING
TRADE.
Mr. Wang Peh-chun on Foreign Encroachments
The encroachment on China's shipping trade by foreign companles is a matter deserving of special attention, according to a New Year article contributed by Mr. Wang Peh-chun, Minister of Communica tions, to the Chinese press. Not only have China's navigation rights along the coast been encrcached upon by foreigners, but her inland river navigation rights have also
been taken away.
When China was first thrown open to foreign trade, foreigners were confined to various treaty ports and they were rot allowed to go to places in the interior. As a result of the Opium War, however, China's coastal navigation righta were lost and, not long afterwards, her inland navigation rights were aiao encroached upon by foreigners. But for the existence of unequal trentica which de- grived this country of the

powerful ships and their influence In China was restored to a greater extent than before. While foreign companies have been increasing
their vessels in Chinese waters, na- tive shipownere were particularly hard hit when their vessels were commandeered by the Central Gov- recent anti- ernment during the northern military campaign.
"In view of the deplorable state
of China's shipping trade. I (the
Minister of Communications), in taking up my appointment as direc tor-general of the China Merchants S. N. Co., proposed the reorganisa- tion of the affairs of the company thoroughly so that China's shipping trade may be developed under the guidance and direction of the Gov- ernment," he says.
Accordingly,
the Government is devising means- to affect the complete rendition of China's navigation rights as this is the only method by which our shipping trade may be fully de- veloped.
MUTINY ON A K.P.M. STEAMER.
The K.P.M. steamers, going to China and the Far East always tarry a European police-sergeant with several men in case pirates
threaten to attack the ship. On the Van Heutsz this remedy al- most turned out to be worse than the disease as on the European, police-sergeant's Instigation the native sailors, disobeyed the order of the commanding officers. When the Van Heutsz arrived at Medan (Sumatra) an investigation was hold by the Officer of Justice, and the police-sergeant was put in cus- tody,

WELCOME MAURETANIA.
Congratulations On Rescue Work.
New York, Nov. 21. Bringing twenty-eight survivors from the freighter. Ovidia, the Mauretania has arrived to receive the plaudits of New York for her rescue work.
Captain S. G. S. McNell called it an "act of God" that there was no
fog in that part of the Atlantic when the 8.0.S. came. "Had there been a fog it would have alowed us down and we might have missed the Ovidia altogether. In that she would have foundered."
