A year later, ho was awarded the degree of Bachelor of Laws at the same institution. In 1803 he mar ried Miss Belle M. Morin, of Albert Lea, Mian.

"An understanding had been arrived at with Mr. Qkana, the former Minister of Finance, that the Government would grant a certain sum of money so that the companies might pay sound the fire policies," said Mr. Kagami, there was a strong posibility of securing the consent of the Diet to the plan.

The Osaka Arahi says the insurance compacics are now considering what they can do for their clients without govern mental aid. A proposal to use their legal reserves as the means of granting sym- pathy payments to their clients who had Dot covered the earthquake risk is not favoured, but there is general agreement that the unexpired premiums should be restored.

In the course of this Mr. H Sutcliffe Smith, chairman of the Trade Marks Committee, deck with this matter as applied in China. He said under the Chinese Trade Mark Law promulgated on May 3rd last, China men were registering foreign trade marks, and when it was pointed out that the mark belonged to someone else they pleaded that they were the registered owners of the mark and their use of it was, therefore, legal. It would be agreed by the Commission, as honourable busi- nesa mea, that such practices could not be allowed Mr. Sutcliffe Smith suggest ed a clause from the English Marks Act of 1857, known as the Herschell clause, for the consideration of the Commission The English mercantile community, he said, set great value on that clause, and if sicilar provision could be made effe tive in China be was certain the question of piracy and unfair competition could be brought within controllable limits.
