As indicated in my previous later, the share holders of the Imperial Chiness Telegraph Ad: ministration at Shanghai and other ports have now entirely submitted to the pressure of Cheng Pi, President of the Ministry of Posts and Com. munications, and have agreed to accept. $180 instead of $170 per share. The Telegraph shareholders Council, which was organized some time ago by Mr. Hu Erb-mei and soms other prominent Chinese merchants of your port for opposing the scheme of H.E.'Chang Pi, has been dissolved, so that the Chinese telegraph question'may be definitely settled" is the not distant futuro. But as H.E. Chang is not a telegraph expert and is using his high potion to find employment for his fallow Povincials, ie, nutives of Fukien, it remains in be seen how far he will be able to reorganize the telegraph system, after hi has secured full control of the service. In order to pacify the minds of the Chiogad merchants and others, Cheng Pi has issued a circular to the effect that the Chinese Government will never inter.

fession, so they openly, apeik, of their mali, M. Customs. practices without shame. The only lear they have, according to their own declaration, is the discovery of the practice before they have made a good profit by placing the imitated goods on the market. If they escape early discovery and are able wilkout interference to sell the goods even for three months, the profit thereby ob taibed allows them to look lightly on a term of three months imprisonment, should they be so unfortunate se to be brought before a law count. To pay an indemnity or publish as apology is also a comparatively easy penalty in view of the profits made. Ao apology for the infringe. „ment-qf a'trade-mark does appear occasionally in the newspapers, and the outside public may imagion that the offenders feel disgraced. Bot ava matter of fact, they are only too pleased at being able to settle the matter in this way, for it is really an excellent advertisement. By the publication of the apology the names of the offenders become knową to dishonest mer- chants in the interior, and the forgers soon receive applications from such merchants sug- gesting the imitation of such and "such' an anicle which has a ready sale. „I bus the publication of an apology provides an opportu nity for a repetition of the offence. Moreover, it is known that even business-men of top- posedly high standing founce the industry of iradę-mark forgery and obalo a good profit therefrom.
Such are the revelations made by the Osaka Jiji, which urges that strjogest measures should be taken to suppress this disgraceful profes- sion-Japan Chronicle.
