Notification No. 6.
By Ordinance No. 53 of to-day's date an amendment is made with reference to the duty leviable on goods imported or exported in junks in the Provisional Customs Regulations for the leased territory of the Kwantung Province.
These duties are not leviable without distinction on all goods imported or exported by junk into the leased territory of the Kwantung Province, but only on those which pass through the said leased territory. In accordance with the ordinary Regulations, no duties whatever shall be leviable on goods which are either the products of the leased territory or are to be consumed therein, even though they be exported or imported by junk. It should be borne in mind that the object in making this amendment in the Regulations aforesaid is to encourage the junk-carrying trade, and that, with this intent, a specially low rate of duty is levied on goods exported or imported by junk as compared with that levied on goods exported or imported by steamer.

WITH reference to your letter of the 20th instant, I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to transmit herewith, for the information of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a telegram which has been received from the Commander-in-chief, China, respecting the methods proposed for suppressing piracy near Canton, and I am to inquire whether the Secretary of State wishes a further communication to be made to the Commander-in-chief, China.
I am, &c.

Inclosure in No. 1.
Vice-Admiral Sir A. Moore to Admiralty.
(Telegraphic.) P.
Canton, November 21, 1907. IN reply to your No. 122, as these robber gangs never stay in any particular village, but are always moving and dispersing, I consider suggestion of Foreign Office not feasible. I will make further report.
