THE LICENSING SESSIONS." TO THE EDITOR OF THE HONGKONG, TELEGRAM.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1899.

A LONG DISTANCE RAGE DES TWEEN TORPEDO DESTROYERS:

Two Japanese torpedo-destroyers, the Shi "Monome" and "the ¿furakumo, the former in charge of an English crew and the latter man Sin-Will you kindly allow me space in ned by Japanese, are at the present, it would your valuable paper to do a good homělý Bruish growl.

On hearing of the successful trip of the Central Hotel. There were present, the Deputy Murakume from Plymouth to Suez, the build *Superintendent of Police, the Presiding Justiceers of the Shineŋome, according to the Japan and 8-others, Justices of Peace, to in all out of 133 on the lists.

Bir. Gedge, who represented Mr.. Edwards, stated that the place was wanted, more for a Billiard (Saloon, than a Bar. There were no Police objections to the applicant or to the locality, fe matter was then considered in private, neither Mr. Gedge nor. Mr. Edwards having the opportunity to hear or know what was said for or against the application, which

was refused.

Now, what I want to know is, is this the regular way of doing the business of the Licensing Sessions? If so, the sooner it is altered, the better for all concerned.

Mr. Edwards is an old and respected resident of Hongkong, having been here for the last 30 years, a number of which were spent in the Hongkong Police, from which he retired on an Inspector's pension eleven years ago, and now that he has applied for this Licence, it is refissed, for what reasons I fail to see. I wonder if it is because the premises are too close to the Hongkong Hotel and likely to do harm to the business of the same?

If Mr. Edwards had come from Port Said

or Trieste with a bevy of fat and fair damsels on his hands and applied for a license to start a grog shop he might have got it, there would have been no danger of loss to the shareholders of the Hongkong Hotel. But Mr. Edwards, an old and respected resident of the colony, start- ing in opposition to the H. K. Hotel is quite a different, iking.

Another question I should like to ask. Refer- ring to the motion proposed by Dr. Clark and seconded by Mr. Dyer-Ball, if the sureties are not to be in any way connected with the sale of liquors, why should the justices_of_the_ peace who are interested in the liquor trade, be allowed to sit at the Licensing Sessions }

Thanking you in anticipation for the inser tion of the above.

Yours faithfully,

Hongkong, 7th April, 1899.

THE OPENING UP OF CHINA

MR. PRITCHARD MORGAN'S MISSION,

Mr W. Pritchard Morgan, 34. P, who arrived in Loudon on February 5thy, after a visit to China lasting eleven months, was interviewed immediately on his arrival bea Reuter's repre- sentative. Asked first regarding the objects of his mission, Mr. Pritchard Mergan said

"I do not feel justified in discussing all the objects I had in view. One of the results of my mission is that the great and rich province of Szechuan is to be opened to the world.”

In reply to n question as to the nature of the concessions he had secured in Szechuan, Mr. Pritchard Morgan said:

In the ordinary sense of the word I have no concession at all. When the Chinese Government, in 1846, telegraphed for me to go out and advise them sus to the opening up

of the mineral resources of China, my first recommen dation was that no concessions at all should be granted. I have persistently advocated the Peking, such as exists in Australia and America, creation of an Imperial Mining Department at
