The representative of another British firm Messrs. Craig & Co., cited an example from Indie, where on the occasion of a prohibition of export the Government allowed a period of race to the exporters to remove rice already purchased.

After some discussion a telegram was read om the Russian Consul at Mukden to the effect that the probibition had been placed on another district, that of Kwan-chon-tie. By this, announced the chairman, nearly all the Manchurian provinces were now under the prohibitlen. A suggestion was made regarding the possibility of bringing judicial ac tion against the Chinese Government for reach of treaty, or against the Chinate pro dcera for breach of contract.

JAPANESE MASSAGE,

According to the Barbin journal, when the prohibition was declared in Bodone, both on beans and cereale, Chinese patrols were sta tioned on all the roads leading to the railway. to prevent any infringement. The station master at Tad Lei-chao, on the Chinese Estero Railway, received an official police that, if the station was not cleared of grain within two Massor MEIJI SHA, days, a, half of what remained would be coo", fiscated. A company of troops was possed by the station to enforce the notice. From sundry other facts consected with the probibition, our contemporary draws the conclusion that Colna is taking revenge on Russia for the closing of the porte franco by the latter and her refusal of the American proposal for the deutralisation of the railways in Manchuria—Japan Chronicle,
