MEETING OF HOTEL MANAGERS IN TOKYO
On the 17th dit. a meeting of managere of foraigo-style hotels in Japan was held at the Imperial Hotel, Tokyo, for the purpose of con sidering measures for correcting some of the grievances of which foreign tourists to Japan frequently complain, and which it is felt are doing considerable harm to the tourist traffic in this country. The grievances are stated in a circular issued from the Grand Hotel; and are as follows:-
1. Railways (a) Firstclass tickets are sold In such numbers that they are in excess of the sents for accommodation in the trains,

If the associates in any busi- ness work against each other, or even work to- gether to the disadvantage of its patroas, that business will surely fail.

2. Hotel Rates-As a resolt of competition, hotel rates are not uniform; in some Japanese hotels fabulously high charges are made for ordinary service to foreigners..
3. Jinrikisha -Jinrikisha accommodation is
poor, and finrikisha-men are weak and feeble, yet sometimes a double charge is made to foreigners.
Marchandise-Business-houses overcharge foreign guests, and divide the surplus with the guides. There are cases when orders for goods are sent, and when the packages arrive the contents are not as ordered, and negotiation often fails to remedy matters.
4. Policemen, though the police system is highly developed in Japan, sometimes there are policemen who merely smile at complaints when a misunderstanding takes place with a rikishaman, etc.

The visit of foreign tourists is of such an im por and nature that various placs are formed in England, France, Germany, Italy, Swiser
