The China Association at their meeting referred to this question, and in their report the question was discussed whether the railway should go by way of Walchow. Eu that is a detail. What we want is a railway with its terminus in British Kowloon, it seems to me that the nilway question is one of the very utmost importance. There is no place in China where the construc tion of a railway is of more importance, and yet there is no place where there has been less done to get it.

ANNUAL MEETING.

Following is a verbatim report of the speeches, following the Chairman's address at yesterday's mee ing of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce :--

Mr. E. S. Whealler-Mr. Chairman. I have very great pleasure indeed in seconding the proposal think that from the report and the Chairman's speech it must be evident to all the members of this Chamber that the commercial affairs of this Colony have been very well kept, and our thanks are due to the Committee for the way in which they have looked after those things both great and small. There are one or two things which the Chairman has referred to For a small additional annual charge Desk which I would like to mention. With regard to the question of explosives on board steamers Sele can be supplied.

I can only say it seems difficult to understand why it is that we cannot get on with regulations

Permission I should like to read apropos of what I said just now about the railway question

Co,, dated Shanghai, 22nd April:-"A feature which is rapidly becoming noticeable in the Northern trade is the transference of business from Cheloo to Kiaochau; the facilities for loading and unloading cargo there and the rapid transit by rail to the interior are creating an exodus from Chefoo and the establishment of the ranie hangs in Kinochau; it is said that important markets in the interior can now be reached in one day whereas formerly the same class of enrga did not reach its destination under three weeks." I think that emphasizes the importance of railways. (Applause.)

The Chairman Gentlemen, with regard to the remarks made by Mr. Whealler and Mr. Michael I can only say that the members of the committee of this Chamber fully realise, as I am sure we all do, the very vital importance

of a railway-connecting the trunk lines of China with this Colony, As I hope I made clear in my remarks just now, the question bitherto has not been dealt with formally by the committee of this Chamber as a certain concession, we understood, was still in existence and these concessionaires were engaged upon the attempt to carry out their concession. But as it appears to be the wish of the Chamber as here represented that the committee should officially take up this question, I can only state that the committee for this year, whoever they may be, will, I am quite sure, deal with this very important matter. (Applause.) I may add that have reason to believe that the Hongkong Government is fullyTVE, CAINE ROAD, begs mos alive to the importance of this question as we are and that the facts stated by Mr. Whealler just now in an extract, I think, from Messrs. 11'ent's circ lar are admitted by us all. As business men it is very clear to us that any port which is left out in the cold in the matter of railwaye must go to the wall, and Chefoo is a very good example of what would happen to Hongkong if we are not the first to be connect ed to China by railway. With regard to the currency question, as you know, the Chambers of Commerce of the three principal ports in this part of the world have addressed the Diplo matic Body on the subject, but beyond an expression of police sympathy nothing has been done, at present; but, as we all know, the re- form of China's currency is provided for by Treaty and it is a matter which will be dealt with

very promptly by the committee of this Cham.
