Ai wo briefly announced a few days ago, the Hongkong authorities have decided to close. the British Post Office at Tientalo at the end. ́of this month. "The Peking (and Timisin „TYmer describer this decision as "not only in- convenience of the gravest kind, but a serious financial loss to the community. It asserts that if the proposal is carried through, it will". mean that privata and basiness mail matter, which for the past year has come to port under the penny postal regulations will, for three months come to the recipients “surcharged to The hift with both the foreign and domestic rates of the Chinese Imperial Posi, doubled by: penalty." The same paper understands that the local branch of the "Chios As- sociation and the Chamber of Commerce are taking the matter up warmly. Representa tions are said to have been made to the British. Minister and also to the Hongkong office. Our Northern neighbours have nor sympathy, and we hope that their representations will end in the rescinding of the order, We believe it would be false economy to close the Post Office at Tientsin while an many less important ports- continue to enjoy the inciliiles which the pre- sence of a local branch of the Bitish Post- Office brings. The imperlance of a cheap, efficient and regular mail service to a com. mercial conffmunity cannot be over-estimated, and the port which has the second, largest foreign commercial community in China-la certainly entitled to consideration.-N. C. D. Neros.

It is somewhat surprising to find a jurnal of the reputation and standing of the Ojaka Amhi' filling its columns with what amounts to nothing less than the abuse of the foreign re-: sidents of Kobe.
