The unfortunate thing about the city of Samchun is that it is a nest of thieves and that robbers who prey upon the neighbouring British territory find a sanctuary there. If the British proceed with the construction of a market on the river there they will secure the support of the trading people both of Samchun and Shatankok who have long desired British rule and will wel come, it when it comes along, although the Chinese authorities themselves are, naturally, adverse to the movement and want to retain control over this rich region.

The question of the cable rates between Europe and China is so closely allied to all that affects the interests of commercial houses. in the East that it has naturally received much attention in Hongkong, which in sonte respects may be described as the clearing house of the Orient. On several occasions the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce has broached the subject and sent representa THE F. M. S.

The cable rate to Europe is still a heavy burden on those who are con cerned with shipping transactions, and a further effort was made the other day to induce the Imperial Government to make forcible representations to the Cable Com panies to reduce their rates. A deputation from various Chambers of Commerce through out Great Britain, introducerl by Sir David Sassoon, M., the chairman of the Tele- graphs Committer of the House of Commons, waited on the Chanceliar of the Exchequer with the object of gaining the support of the Government in petitioning the Cable Com- panies to reduce the rates between Great Britain and Australia, India, and China. Sir David Sassoon declared thatthe cable rates to West Africa were ridiculously high; the rates China were alord; and even the 50 per cent. reduction on the Indian Tariff, was not sufficient in view of the increasing
