THE CHINESE EXCHANGE. QUESTION.

Although que font such as the boycott placed on American goods, the froubles in cident to the transference of high officials, the attitude of the Imperial Government to wards the belligerents in the north, and the rapid rise of beneficent reform movements in China are of more general interential pre. sent, the vexed subject of Chinese in relation to foreign trade still excrcises the minds of commercial houses and commer- cial agents in China. Every nation is concerned in the adoption by China of a stable currency, and by the terms of the Mackay Treaty China should have already made a decisive attempt to abolish the present currency system and introduce a sound system of finance. Only a short time ago we pointed out that instead of fulfilling these promises, the Chinese officials are actually opening mints for the increased circulation of copper cash, not so much that 'FINE FLAVOUR this mediunt may benefit the people or con-

MELLOWNESS absolutely no effort has been made by the Imperial Government to give effect to the Treaty obligations as to the establishment of a currency based on sound lines and the comparative quiescence of international opinion on the subject at present has given the leaders of the Middle Kingdom an op portunity to rest after their diplomatic eva- sions and consider what answer shall be given when the question next assumes an acute aspect. In a recent consular re- port Mr. George E. Anderson, the United States Consul at Amoy, dwells upon the question of Chinese exchange and the influences which militate against

In his opinion the greatest factor in the obstruction offered to any scheme of financial stability as proposed by interna.. tional merchants is the opposition emanating from the banking corporations of China "The banking element and some of the older and more conservative business in Lerests both among the Chinese and among foreigners doing business in China, have been opposed to the change in fact, although they have talked favourably of it in theory," [32

The fact that the most profitable source of income is found in the exchange branch of a bank accounts for this theoretical adhesion and practical opposition to any change in the monetary system. But Consul Anderson

there can be no doubt that the present system of Chinese exchango acis as a direct tax upon both the imports, and the exports of the country." What, then, is the remedy? It is the "cordial support of the classes in the Chinese business world who have to do with foreign exchange and the larger business transactions within the Emfendant pire relating to its domestic affairs." With out that support the Chinese Government, bound hand and foot by forms and usages and by foreign obligations can do nothing.

Mr. Ferrors, in his opening statement, re marked that the plaintiff was a citizen of the United States carrying on business in Hong kong. In March, iças, the plaintiff founded, in partnership with a Chinaman named Su Wei Chin, a firm under the name of E. H. Murray & Co, and its object was general commercial business, but more particularly to deal in coal, The plaintiff as an American citizen had a good deat of influence both with the American Navy and the American Government of the fhilip- pine Islands.

It had been arranged that the coal should be brought from a Chinese quarter and that it should be suitable for, a warship.

question of the erection of most buildings which had a frontage to side streets. The result of abiding by this rule would certainly be very

curious, and more curious still in the case of those buildings where there were noside streets. Such a proposal as this seemed to him to be entirely out of place and he moved as an amend. ment that the latter part of the second recom mendation be deleted. !

Dr. Pearse said he wished to draw the atten- tion of the Board to the fact that if the height. of buildings fronting on side stremis was not governed by some definite principle, the Board would not be in a position to tell the owner of property how far they should or should not raise their buildings. If there were no regula tions the Board would be faced with the same difficulty on each application. Perhaps the 100,000.00 Director of Public Works had some other view about the lighting of side streets,

300,000.00

The President said this amendment brought the Board back to their original report. It might be in the recollection of the Board that a report was to be presented at the last, meet- ing, but in deference to the wishes, of the Medical Officer of Health, the report was still further considered. Practically no alteration was made with the exception, that this clause. in question was added. There should be some definite rule laid down to guide the officers of the Board In matters falling under Clause 11. The Director of 1 ublic Works had put his finger. on one of the points. They would be penalise ing buildings with side streetstunning past them if they adopted this motion. It looked as if one were not doing everything to secure the sanitary condition of a building If they offered no inducement to‘owners to build side 'streets. Beside the P. and D. office there was a narrow iano, but it was hardly likely the owner would he were to be penalised for doing so.

Mr. Badeley seconded the amendment. On a vote the motion was carried by a con siderable majority and it was agreed to send a copy of the report to the Governor

AMA DRAINAGE QUESTION.)

On a report by the Sanitary Surveyor us to drainage,

Mr. Rumjahn said it appeared from the res port of the anitary Surveyor, that the drainaga system at Inland Lot 1569 was defective and that a nuisance was caused by the drain. The drain had been in existence for some years and it was defective owing to the amount of water which flowed in from some score of houses there. He suggested that the flow of water should be diverted. At present all the water from the roofs of az houses as well as the water from the rear washed into a 6-inch pipa, which was not, be thought, a desirable state-of- things.

The President Will it meet your views if/ the Sanitary Surveyor be asked to report whe |ther a 6-inch drain is sufficient ?:
