It was not necessary to call him during the night, and when the boy went to the cabin carly yesterday meming it was found that he was not there nar had his bunk

COMMISSIONER COMES TO CAPTURE' ORIENT TRADE.

Queensland is still pushing ahead, and if she doesn't capture the trade of the Orient the fault will not lie with her energetic, representative, Mr. Frederic Jones, Commissioner for Trade. It is about a year since Mr. Jonca was in Hongkong, but the effet of his previous visit is to be found in the greatly-increased import trade from Australia. He arrived ro-day from Manila, and at once installed himself in the office of Messrs. Barrette & Co. who are now handling the greater portion of the Australian insport trade into South China.

Interviewed by a representative of the flung Long Telegraph, Mr. Jones proved to be as genial and obliging as ever, and quite as busi- ness-like..

"That was not only good business, but it nise paved the way for the staiting of a direct line of steamers between Manila and Queens land, Brisbane being the terminal point.
