Mr. K. Uchida, Director of the Shipping
recently contributed an interesting article to the Jiji Shimpa with regard to the develop. ment of Japan's maritime trade, in the course of this article he says that before the Japan China War of 1894-5 the growth of the ship ping trade of Japan had been very slow despite the encouragement given by the Government, At the end of 1893 the aggregate tonnage of the Japanese mercantile marine was only 2035,000, steamers accounting for 167,00 lons and sailing-vessels for 33,000 tons. At the outbreak of the war in 1894 a large number of steamers were requisitioned as transports, re-
A DESCENT IN AʼSUBMARINE,
A writer in the "Daily Chronicle" describes his sensations on, making a descent in sub- marine A2, sister ship to A1, which, it will be remembered, was run down in the Channel last spring by a liner, with the loss of all on board..
In passing through the dockyard to the admiral's launch that was to convey as to the submarine beat out in the barbour, we passed, he says, all that is left of A1. The upturned huil of the boat still shows the rent made by the keel of the unseeing steamer These submaring boats cost between £70,000 and £80,000 apiece, anti atz worth picking up and mending. But there is no hurry about Tishing the job with Ar. When the time comes there will be no difficulty in obtaining a volunteer crew. It is just as well to let the

RUGBY FOOTBALLA
A lively "rugger" game was played at Happy Valley yesterday afternoon between teams re- presenting the Ocean and the Andromeda. The former had a very good side on the field, but the Andromeda failing to get their "champions" was only able to put on a scratch team, which nevertheless worked very gamely to the end. The players were: Ocsa-back, Jurdan; three quarters--May, 11dge, Pole and Bell; Inives Ellis and Carsley forwards-Jewalt, Head, Waldron, Barnes, Hailes, Dicks, Precce, and Matcolnson,

chartered many foreign vessels to meet the -requirements brought about by the war. The result was that the total tonnage of steamers at the end of 1895 bad increased to 331,00 front 167,000 in the previous year. This sudden acquisition of a large number of merchant ships by Japan caused a panicamong shipowners on the restoration of peace. The difficulty was more keenly felt among the smaller shipowners, who found it impossible to carry on the coasting trade owing to the fall in freight rates as the resut of competition. This state of affairs, however, gave a great impetus in directing at tention towards the carrying trade abroad, and regular services were opened to Korea and North and South China, where the Japanese soon almost supplanted their British, German, and Norwegian competitors in the coasting trade.

.” BOARDING THE VESSEL For a landsman there was initial difficulty in getting aboard. Being built for submarine passage, the structure of a fish is naturally adopted. The deck of Az inconveniently re- sembled the back of a porpoise. Nor were there rails or masts offering grip wherewith to steady unfamiliar feet. About the centre of the deck there projected the top of what proved to be the conning tower. By a perpendicular iron ladder this gives access to the hold of the boat, which, if it were anywhere else than under water, might be regarded as really comfortable Thanks to the electric light it is brilliantly illuminated. About six feet high and some four feet wide, it reas the full length of the boat, and is in every inch devoted to control of the intricate machinery of this latest wonder of the sea. Port and starboard the bellied sides of the hold are covered with what, to the solitary

At any rate the ship's com pany of H.M.S. Vengeance were extremely glad to see her and showed their appreciation by crowding along the forecastle to have a good "look-see." The band greeted the arrival with “Now we shan't be long," and "Where have you been all the day?" followed by "You've got a long way to go.

The Japan-China War, says the writer of the article, thus taught an invaluable lesson to
a mercantile fleet in time of emergency, and also the disadvantage of dropping regular steamship operations even in time of war Shortly afterwards Bills were introduced into the Diet providing for the grant of a subsidy for the encouragement of navigation and ship- building. The proposals were voted by the Diet, and they became operative in October 1896. A regular line of steamers to Bombay, Australia, and Vladivostock was subsequently opened by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha under contract with the Government. At the same time the company inaugurated the European and American service, while the Toyo Kisen Kaisha pat three steamers on the regular line be tween San Francisco and Hongkong. Regard ing the China trade, which has a very important bearing on Japan's commerce, a regular service between Shanghai and Hankow was open in January 1898, and that between Hankew and Ichang in January 1899. Another line was opened between Soochow and Kiangchow by by the Dalto (Great Eastem Steamship Co which is subsidised by the Government.

As regards the Sully's position, "Mr." which, says Jack made a minute examination, after ibe Courier d'Haiphong,
he was able to express it as his opinion that smooth weather, and onaccidents,
during the time necessary to prepare the needed apparatus in Hongkong, another
six weeks from the roth inst; ought to see the operations successful and the Sully solely
afloat, and ready to enter the dock. When
Mr. Jack left the vessel she was pumped dry aft, and they were able to get steam up. Having viewed the position and ex- pressed his opinion Mr. Jack's proposed plans were telegraphed to the Minister of Marine in France, and these were approved by him, by telegraph through Admiral Dayle on Saturday last, and the contract was signed on Sunday.
