DISCUSSED.
SECOND CONFERENCE CALLED TO-DAY
Nanking, Aug. 1.
The Ministry of Communjen- Blons announced to-day that the second anti-piracy
conference
would be held to-morrow morning, commencing at 9 o'clock.
The conference will discuss plans and regulations drafted by the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of the Navy.
When the frat anti-piracy con-- ference was concluded the Navy Office asked for a draft plan con- the cerning Joint measures for suppression of pirates; while the Ministry of Communications re- quested draft regulations con- cerning the necessary "snfoty" installations, including wireless aboard merchant vessels. -
It has been argued by offlcja}+ that the compulsory installation of wireless on all vessels plying on commercial runs along the Chian const would go far towards assisting the authorities in sup- pressing the pirate. menace.-t Reuter,
