Government had hitherto been unable to Everything is fet and a good harvest is communicate, its instructions to the Volun- expected. teer cruisers, and hence the recent incidents. Under these circumstances the Two Govern- ments had agreed that Cape cruisers should find the Volunteer ertisers, and Creat Britain had ordered two of the British cruisers stationed at the Cape to inmediately seek the Smolensk. and the Petersburg, and convey to them the Russian instructions to desist from searching. There was therefore a hope that the incidents were ended. The deputation might rely on the declaration in the King's speech, which was not mere vague language. The British Government meant exactly what he said, and the rights of the great shipping trade would not be ignored by the Government or by any Go- vernment to which British interests were confided.
Mitchell also requested the State Department to take steps to protect legitimate neutral trade from such serious interference as the attacks by the Vladivostok squadron.
Two attorneys visited the Department in connection with the same seizure, and Acting Secretary Adec immediately referred them to the solicitor for the Department, who had before him the protest of the Portland Milling Company. Officials of the Department stated there would be no hasty action, but the whole subject of interference with American trade between the belligerents in the present war would he considered and that each protest that might be forwarded would be part of a uniform and consistent policy to be followed by the Department--Kobe Chronicle.
THE CANTON BOOTY FUND.
Business in war risks, principally reinsur ances at substantial rates, continues active, and the present uncertain outlook is mast damaging to ordinary shipping enterprise. The Allanton confiscation, says The Times Marine Insurance Correspondent, has done mense harm, more than even the Malacca and Keight Commander incidents. Where shipowners or merchants have the active sup- port of the Government they have some can. fidence, in spite of much grumbling at alleged plomatic delays, that their interests will be protected; but, if confiscations of inn cent In the House of Commons on the 25th ult, steamers and cargoes are to go on, they con in answer to Mr. Sharpe, who asked whether sider that nobody is safe.

War risk business was again very active on 28th it, and rates were even firmer. They
are inled by the Knight Commander and illantea incidents rather than by the affair of the Volunteer steamers, which is regarded as practically over. But the risks to steamers in Far Eastern waters are obviously most serious. Cargo in British steamers for Japan is being dene against war risks at about £1 per cent. as a rule, but when cargoes are inrge and un-persons interested. The unclaimed shares in derwriters fall the rates, go up to 1 and 2 per cent. Many merchants are taking out war risk covers protecting all their shipments to the end of the year. This prudent course is being taken as regards Indian and Chinese, as well as Japa- nese shipments. Rates run at about 2s. 6d. to 35. per cent.
