The witness went on to point out that until some years after the opening of the Suez Canal the supply of tonnage vas limited, but that an entire change in the situation we evolved by the introduction of the compound engine, and tonnage soon outstripped requirements. The natural result was impoverished rates and a struggle for existence which led to overal lines withdrawing from the fald, although they had entered it under fair enough suspices. It was in the late seventies that the remaining lines, then engaged in a hand to-hand competition, began to draw together so as to stave off disaster by coming to arrangements between themselves and with their customers.

The Time eng':-It is evidant' that the recent action of the Colonial Office in ord sring the closing of the opium divans in Hongkong has ore ted keen resentment and called. forth strong protests in the Colony. That suck an effect should have been prodused is hardly surprising in view of the manger in which the order was issued, and, mach sympathy will be felt with the feelings of the community of the island even by those who are most anxious to see the total sradiction of the opium vice. The decision of the Government to direct the closing of the opiam dens was apparently telegraphed to Hongkong without any previous warning that ench a step, would be fakten, and without any attempt to consult the views of the Colonists, or to ascertain the effect which aneb a sudden In the course of further evidence, Sir Thomas measure might have on the finances and general Sutherland claimed that the growth of the Bavz welfare of the place.
