subject of naval disarmament and reductions.
"The whole essence of the con- veruntiona is that they should be strictly confidential," Reuter was informed at the Premier's residence at Lossiemouth later in the day, when an enquiry was made as to the progress of the Prime Minister's conversations with General Duwes.
It is indicated, however, that a highly important communication has been received from Washing-↑ ton. The conversation between Mr. MacDonald and. Gen. Dawes Justed for over two hours.

Manila, Aug. 17. An executive order issued by President Hoover, restricting im- migration to the United States anit her possessions to prevent the in- troduction of meningits, practically puts a stop to Chinese immigra- tion into the Philippines, it was learned yesterday.
The frat complete copy of the order was received by Dr. R.. W. Hart, chief quarantine officer in the Philippines. for the United States Health Service, who im- mediately went into conference with the Governor General re- garding the enforcement of the order.
The American Ambassador afterwards left Lossiemouth for shooting-box in the neighbour hood, where he is staying, with Mr. Harris, an American friend." He will return to Elgin on Friday to attend the conferment of the in Freedom of Elgin, upon Ramsay MacDonald,

INCIDENT ON THE EMPRESS OF RUSSIA.
A PRISON SENTENCE.
During the dispute on board the Empress of Russia yesterday a Chinese coulie was seen to take two blankets through one of the portholes from someone on the ship. The receiver was arrested and this morning appeared before Mr. T. S. Whyte Smith at the Kowloon Magistracy.
In reply to a charge of receiving stolen property the defendant entered a plen, of not guilty and said that the blankets were handed to him to rarry.
Detetive Sergeant Humphreys fold his Worship that trouble was experted on board the Empress of Russia yesterday and a special posse of Police was placed on the -vessel.. One of the constables observed the defendant, who was standing on the wharf, receive two blankets through a porthole. He then concealed them under the wharf.

Shipping Companies Affceted.
The Dollar Stenmship Liue and the Canadian Pacific Steamships, Limited, are likewise affected by the new order under which the quarantine regulations will be in- terpreted and enforced. Owing to the arder, the two deamiship lines are affected doubly, that is, with regard to passengers leaving the Philippines and China for the United States, and passengora from Chinese porls to the Philip- pines.
Causes Stir.
the Indictment that the defendant who was arrested yesterday, was deported from Hongkong for 4 period of ten years on August 21, 1919.
In reply to the charge, the do- fendant, said he lind the impres sion that the period of banish-
ment had expired.
His Worship remarked that the time was nearly up; the defendant being only two days too soon.
His Worship Intimated that it made the position for him difficult.
Detective Sergeant Fowlie, who prosecuted, remarked that the banishment order was clearly ex- plained to the defendant by an interpreter.
A Worship said if a man were away for ten years he might make a mistake of two days. It would be absurd, remarked' his Worship, to impose the usual penalty. Ho asked the prosecuting officer to consider whether they desired to press the charge,
The case was adjourned till to-
morrow.
