REPORTED DISPUTE WITH A SHIPYARD.
a
The 8.8. Venezia, Chinese owned steamer on the Hongkong- Macao run, which suspended her trip to Macao about a week ago, is still laid up at the Douglas Company Wharf. It is stated that Gnancial disputes between the China New Era Shipping Com pany, Limited, and a Chinese ship- yard at Hunghom are chiefly responsible for the suspension of her run. The management of the China New Era Shipping Cam- pany, when approached to-day, was reticent in giving informa tion concerning the exact amount involved in the dispute with the Chinese shipyard, and suggested that there was a possibility of the steamer being restored to her usual schedule as soon as the Company has settled the disputes with the shipyard and a few other claimers,
A poster is displayed at the Douglas Wharf stating that the 5.8. Venezia has suspended her run for the time being.

This was a matter where public opinion ought to be raised, for the pressure of examinations was doing tremendous harm at the
