An
auconncement taken from s Shanghai paper to the effect that the British steamer Olympia was loading at Kuchinotza for Shangbal on the 8th July, is an example of what is done with foreign ships. It is well trice ship- Government known that when ments to Europe were in progrem, there were several veels chartered to load st Shimonoseki and other unopened ports; and it was not uncommon to observe in the shipplug lists the despatch of these vessels by foreign agents who had chartered them. No more positive demonstration of the un- fairness of the regulations can be adduced than the fact that Governme t tradera privileged persons are permitted to do that freely which merchants who have no official influence are strictly prevented from doing, If the laws are so framed as to exclude for- sign vessels from non-treaty ports, why should officials be permitted to Fio- lat them?
