While work on the electric tramline is proceeding apace in the City of Victoria and the eastern outskirts of the town, we learn that a plan for laying down a line of electric trapcars for our dependency of Kowloon is under consideration. So far there has not been sufficient development in connection with the scheme to enable us to place before our readers the general outlines of the pro- ject. Sufficient knowledge of the skeleton plan so far conceived has, however, been gained to justify our placing the information before the public. It is the intention of the promoters to lay down a line that will con- nect Tsim Tsa Shui with the populous Tur Pacific cable looks like developing into n village of Hunghom on the eastern and the costly white elephant, if the Hibernianism is growing township of Yaunrati and Taikok permissible.

Expectation is en. tertained by those fostering the scheme that directly the line is completed, by reason of easier and speedier communication with the binterland, where suitable land is avail. able at a trifling cost, new industries will be promoted and closely following in their wake, as a concomitant of the development, a large influx of population will be induced to settle in the districts where factories and

other establishments will be erected. The line will be carried along a route in the selection of which regard will be taken to A. S. WATSON & CO., the opening up of suitable sites for building

familiar adaye about the multiplicity of cooks is once more being realized. In theory it is everybody's business and interest to make it pay: in practice it is nubody's. Sir Sandford Fleming, of Canada, has just witten to Sir J. S. Ward, the Treasurer of New Zealand, (says the P. M. Gazette), bewailing the fact that not a single press message has so far passed over the cable. A heavy annual deficit will have to be faced for same years by the Governments concerned.

I have now to confirm translation of my wire to you of the 12th ins ant, coded by and sent

through the courtesy of the l'eninsular and Oriental S. N. Co as follows:-

"Referring to letter of 5th December of Hongkong Chamber of Commerce support New York Chamber of Commerce Resolutions and April request you on our behalf forward protest against Official Cable Code to General Post Ones London for presentation International Telegraph Conference. The next meeting is fixed for Lundon 26th May. Lowe, Secretary."

I enclose copy of the resolutions of the New York Chamber referred to above, though you will doubtless have already received a copy ol these from that body. As this Chamber has recently been in communication with you with the object of obtaining your support to the

objections to the code, it will now be sufficient to state that ny Committee have always beco strongly opposed to the compulsory use of this Offical Code on the ground, that great ex- pense and inconvenience will be entailed on the mercantile community through the neces- sary amendment of existing codes.

The latest edition of the Official Code, al- though containing 1,176,200 words, is still incomplete and they trust that your Chamber will have seen it way to sympathise with the views of my Committee by forwarding a protest through the British Postal Authorities in order that the matter may le thoroughly ventilated at the forthcoming Conference.-i um cic,

It was with great regret that the numerous

friends of the late Mr. Janies MacVeely learned

of his death from plague at the Kennedy Town, Flospital Last month. To some I was known as "poor old Jemmy,” while the Chinese called him Ah Chiu. John MacVeety, his father, who died in 1868 and was buried at Happy Valley, was amongst those who planted the British Flag in Hongkong. In 1834 been listed in the 20th Regiment at Liverpool, and also served with the 54th, 55th and 98th. He was with the expeditions in China under Lieut.. General zir 11, Gough, Bart, and was presen! at the capture of most of the present treaty ports. At the conclusion of the war he came to Hongkong. The late James MacVeety, who was his fifth son, was born in 1852, and at

his death left one sis.er to mourn his loss.— Contributed.

CABLE RATES.

The Chairman added that the Committee would note with a certain amount of satis faction that the Joint Telegraph Companies seen fit to reduce their rates between Hongkong and Australasia from 35% to 40% in some cases; bearing out their intentions intimated in a letter to the Chamber of 24th it would also have been noticed that the Chairman of the Great Northern Company had recently informed the share- holders of that Company that the present rates for Far Eastern traffic were rather high and that they were on the eve of some very considerable tariff redactions, the extent of which will only be determined at the International Telegraph Conference Mesting in London.

Under the provisions of section 15 of the New Territories Land Court Ordinance, 1930, 11.E. the Governor has fixed the 22nd day o June next as the date after which all persons in occupation of land in the island of Lamm shall be deemed trespassers against the Crown unless such occupation is authorized by grant from the Crown, or by other title allowed by the Court under the said Ordinance, or by licence from the Governor or from some Government officer having authority to grant such licence, or unless a claim to be entitled to such occupation has been duly presented to

the Court and has not been withdrawn or heard and disallowed.

AFFAIRS IN KWANGSI.

{From a Correspondent.)

Castor, 19

June.

There was some talk, says an American tele. gram, of Australian coal being landed at Vancouver, but it is understood that the state- ment is not correct. The Canadian Pacific Oriental liners, continues the dispatch from which we derive these particulars, are now drawing only about two-thirds of their usual coal supply from Vancouver for the reason that it is easier to secure the coal at Nagasaki. The reserve bunkers of the Empress and other steamships which are usually used for holding about 3rotons of general cargo are now filled with some 600 tons of coal at Nagasaki. Instead, therefore, of loading, from 1,8co to 2,000 tons of coal at Vancouver, the Empress only takes between 1,000 and 1,200 tons.

THE COMMERCIAL TREATY NEGOTIATIONS,

"An Imperial Rescript has been issued iom- manding the Chinese Treaty Commissioners to Transfer the scene of the Treaty negotiations from Shanghai to Peking. No valid reasons were given." The above is the substance of a telegram from Peking, but it appears to N. C. D. News, however, that the present negotiations being for a coinmerial treaty and not a political one, and Shanghai being the commercial em porium of China, there cannot be any place more fitted in every way for such negotiations,
