THE CHINESE IMPERIAL POST,

A Chungking correspondent writes to the N&C. Dutty New-

When the news came a year since that China was about to enter the Postal Union and to start a Government Post-on the lines established in other civilized convicies, all of us were delighted, azcept the proprietors of begus Local Posts and philatelist cranks, for we hoped for greater surity and improved regularity in pastal communications. Alas! If we were whipped with rods before we are new chastised with scorpions..

For, likeverything Chinese-and the foreign Customs service is nothing if not Chinese-Liis Imperial Chinese Post" so-called, has boun opened in a holé nud corner way, with no propar Mr. Jlswort staff, no couriers of its own, not even a properly. W. Hay supply of postage stamps or mail-bags. It uti-Mr. S. Hebden lise the old Chinese posts, of which there aro three competing services leaving on different days, but couffuos itself to one of these posts only, so that we have now not half the nutuber of re ceipts and deliveries per month that we had ou joyed previously.

Whorens by the native posts we would post our letters within two hours of the departure of the conriors, the Customs pest, which logs at 4p.. compels us to send our Intters in 18 hours belcra the courier leaves; and on Saturdays, for the oce is not open on Sandays, 4 hears before the courier leaves.

a

The rates are in-reased five-fold, but that is detail.

I am not blaming the executive of this new post bat rather the representatives of our to- Epoctivo Goreraments who quietly consented to the superession of the old posts, which did thuir.work honestly and cheaply. tafers, they were assured that the new Government post was in working order.

A post-office tacked on to a Custom-house is not a post. No responsibility can be brought home to any one. The Castoni-henso clerks letest the extra work and the longer hours it watails upon them, and so take no interest in their work or in the accccomodation of the public. The old native postmasters are annoyed and will do nothing to bety it on, the result being that wo, here in Chungking at Inst have had few letters and no magazines or parcela from abroad came through-some after weeks' delay, some not at all-siucu the beginning of the year

The consequence at this port has been that for our downward mails the few-foreign mer chauts her have combined to continue sending their mails as far as Hankow by the antise posta. where they are inaded over to the marcies of the "Trapecial Post." This entails donbin postage, but, in extreme cases, it may make a difference of ten days in the toply. to a biter.

It seems to us poor isolated extra-territori- alists to be a monstrous usurpation of power that the Chinese should have stopped the forvigu steamers from taking outsile mail- bofore it was soon that their now post was pro- perly organized.

Surely a property organised post-office means separate staff, separate ofices, spesial couriers, where there are no steamers or wheel- roads; additionel instead of reduced facilities to those previously existing, and increased responsibility. Tim od native couriers were responsible for their letters and drafts, and I have myself been paid over Els. 1.000 by a native post-office for a missing delivery, of which the vale had been duly declared before hand.

I can only hope, sir, that son will is your
