This expectation has been realized, for each year no small portion of the Report on the Post Office is devoted to a consideration of the rivalry of the native postal agencies. It has to be ad- mitted that the Imperial system has through- aut ded leniently with the minichil, but its determination in force them out of existence in none the less emphatic. In the early days of the Post Office there was ample room for both systems and a riadus vivendi was arranged by which the Government service undertook to forward the hangs' clubbed packages on pay. men. Registration was ordered with a view
to check smuggling; bunit, was found to be of tle value, as the registered hongs indulged. in the practice as much as those that elected to remain unregistered. From the 1907 Report it would appear that the vitality of the min-chi has at last been inpped; and that if they are dying hard, it is mainly owing to the difficulty experienced by the Postal authorities la per suading local officials to give off to the spirit of the diet that aimed at the suppression of offendig bengs.
