The Hon. Mr Claud Severn, Colonial Secretary, left for the North yesterday.

We are informed that, with the per mission of H. E. the Governor, the Folico Reserve will hold a series of Promenada Concerts this summer in the Botanical Gardens, weather permitting, and they will probably cominance early in August.

The Superintendent of Maile informa us that large number of articles of North. China,

appliances for handling cargo nad facilities for distributing it, and there will be general concentration of the cor responding trade and business at those places. The difficulty and enormous cost of providing and maintaining such Brat-class harbours in positions with the necessary inland communications, hinter land, and trade facilities aiready in evidence will make it impossible oven for. large nations to maintain more than a few, or perhaps only one, such first-class correspondente from harbour." Mr. ON HEIDENSTAM points Japan and America, received by the $5 out that it takes many years to prepare Fushimi Maru yesterday, were accident- for the execution of large harbour im ally damaged by firo on board provements, to weigh the different steamer.

From this it is evident that if Hongkong, with its natural advantages and advanced state of development, cannot meet the com petition that may be directed against it from neighbouring ports it will, in the words of the Hon. Mr. P. H. HOLYDAR,

deserve the consequences,""

From these general considerations Mr. VON HEIDENSTAM proceeds to discuss the future prospects of Shanghai. He look forward to the time when communication will be established wit Peking direct with Irkutsk and with India and Tibet, and a railway, already schemed, will facilitate the transport of the immense Szechuan trade. He recalls the favourable "geo- graphical position of the Yaugtsze delta as the outlet for Asian trade upon the main lines of trans-oceanic connection with Japan, Vancouver, San Francisco, the Panama Canal and South America As well as with Hongkong, the Philip pines, the Straits, Australia, India and the Suez Canal. In his opinion, the pro- sent training and dredging works project for the Whangpoo cannot satisfy the needs of the potential trade and com munications of a greater Shanghai, say, ten years hence. The very best possible result under the existing scheme would be the creation of channel with

HONGKONG AND THE EX- CLUSION OF GERMANS.

[TO THE EDITOR DE THE MOKOKONG DAILY PRESS."]

SIR,The chief objection to the exclu sion of the Germans from Hongkong, at any rate forta considerable period after the war, seems to be that it would simply nourish hatred, and not allow time, which works its own cures, gradually to tone down, and finally obliterate, tho very real and bitter feelings that at present exist between us and our enemies.

A policy of world-wide exclusion is neither practicable nor desirable, and, as local exceptions cannot be made, as a solution, why not apply protection throughout the Empire against the live Hun and his partners in the same way as, it is devoutly to be hoped, we shall protect ourselves against the products of their factories In other words, lat every enemy subject who enters British territory pay a yearly poll-tax, and, as a start, 1 would suggest $5,000 per head in Hongkong.

The exclusion of the Hun on senti- mentol grounds bus been severely criticis ed by some of your correspondents
