6/7. The developments foreshadowed in paragraph 7 are problematical The Com

mittee of the Chamber while viewing the exces Live production of silver and copper coins. by the Chinese Mints as calculated to seriously affect the prosperity of that Empire, have no reason to assume that the Chinese officials are actunted by other motives thas the supplying of a useful medium of exchange for which there was, at one time at all events, a strong demand and the making of a profit on the seigniorage as is usual in other countries mak- lng similar issues.

9. After carefully considering the question the Committee of the Chamber are of opinion that the only chuvse likely to infance remedial measures is to communicate with the Chambers of Commerce at Shanghai and Tientsin with a view' to sending another junt. Memorial to the Diplomatic Body at Peking urging that the Impérial Government should again be called upon to carry out jis treaty obligations, and by placing all the mints under ons control, produce a standard coinage for the whole Em- pire and so do away with the over-production of subsidiary chinare for which the various Provincial Authorities are now responsible.

10. With regard to the suggested remedy that British Subsidiary coin should be legal tender up to any extent and that the Govern- ment should pledge itself to redrem all such coins at par, the Committer of this Chamber are altogether unable to endorse such a pro. posal, nor can they as matters now stand see their way to make any representation to the Hongkong Government with regard to legis. lation.-1 am, etc,

la reference to the reported issue by the Toyo Kisen Kaisha of 30-million yen in deben. tures in London for the purchase of the five Pacific Mail steamers, the fiji Chimpo has had an interview with the directors of the Japanese steamship company, and has elicited the fol lowing information, The Toyo Kisen Kaisha is now building three steamers at Nagasaki for the extension of their Pacific trade.

At the same time, the company had an offer from Mr. Harriman, na the occasion of his recent visit to Japan, to dispose of the Manchuria, Siberia, China, Ko en, and, Mongolia, all vesselt, hp, longing to the Pacific Mail Company, Laler, negotiations were opened with Mr. Harriman

Caledonien, for Europe. with a view to purchasing the steamers, but as

Oceanien, for Shanghai,, no satisfactory terms could be arranged Manshan, for. Swalow. Shiraishi, the manager, was sent to San Fran. cise to conduct negotiations on the spot. When the proposed sale of the steamers became known to the American public, bath the Press

and politicians attacket Mr Harriman, and those concerned with the Parific Mall for their alleged want of patriotism. Owing to this circumstance, negotiations were temporarily suspended, and Mr. Shiraishi proceeded to London on business Upon the opening of Congress Mr. Harriman asked the American Government for a subsidy for the Pacific trade, as the American vessels could not be expected .to successfully compete with the German and Japanese lines, both of which are subsidised by their Governments. Mr. Harriman added that In the event of the rejection of his application he might be compelled to dispose of the steam- ere and the line to foreigners. For a lime the Tayo Kisen Kaisha thought that they had been used merely as a tool by Mr. Harriman for obtaining a subsidy, but inasmuch as the trans. action, if carried out, would prove very profit. able, preliminary arrangements have been entered into with a London syndicate for the Jurus of 20 million yen in debentures, so that the funds will be available should the transfer be effected.

It Is known, however, that Mr. Harriman, has declared that in the event of the subsidy being refuted by the American Government, the five steamers referred to will be so'd in the Toyo Kisen Kalihs!
