It is only in general terms that the Chamber can give its support to representa tions which have, as we know, been already made by several of the national dissociations to their respective Ministers in Peking. Fortun- ately all the indications from Japan are that the Government at Tokio is far from being opposed to the steps desired by the other trad ung nations, and in competing for the trade of Manchuria is content to rely on such advanta- yes as she possesses in being on the spot, Negotiations for a Customs House, probably to be established at Palastion on the border of the leased territory of Kuantung, are already, it is understood, under way, and there is no reason for any prolonged discussion or delay.

An illustration of how far some lovers' quar: rel can go was given at the Magistracy this morning, when Edmund Johannsen, of No. 52, Queen's Road Central, charged Mis. A.

Finally the Chamber of Commerce, in ad- dressing the Commissioner of Customs on the, as yet, deferred improvement of the facilities on the Bund foreshore for landing and dis- Thence the
patching passengers and cargo, raises once inore a plea for the removal of the pictures- que but obstructive opium hulks, be let- ler merely states: "The position of these reasoun objectionable, huks is for many and the existing and ever increasing conges
on of both passenger and cargo traffic on the Bund, presents further strong reason for urging their removal. My Commitee desire to bring this question of the desirability, in the public interest of removing the bulks, urgently to your notice." We e cannot suppose that the Committes would have reverted to a project which has beco.baulked so frequently without some reasonable hope of success. There is, indeed, ground for belief that the owners of two inter- of the bulks, who have hitherto posed objection, would now be willing to remove their properly, while though we have no knowledge of the views of the other owners, they should be open to persuasion in a good cause. The functions of the hulks could cow be perfectly well-fulfilled ashore-or-in some less crowded part of the 'barbour, and if it be true that hindrances to removal have hitherto been mainly sentimental the time would seem to have arrived when sentiment should give way to the public utility.
