Intimations.

The secretary of the Syndicated” Longshore- men of Montreal has stated that the Atlantic 'Empreses will next season be transferred to the l'acific and replaced by two other Empress Shipping disasters in Japan have been un-liners similar to the Virginian and Victorian of pleasantly life of late, and to a number of the Allan line. The Shipping Federation has minor disasters the rent sinking of the given notice that it will enforces reduction of Mulut mark on the coast of the Hokkaido, io wages which the workmen say they will not volving an appalling law of life, must be add-accept, and a fight is contemplated. Mr. Poli-extracted from the fish this oil is so offensive

ed. The number of ships lost or damaged in spot was 695; in 1994, 7-5; in 1903, 656; while in 1904 the total anddenly increased to 822 and in 1955 it had further risen to 116. in 1956 the number of divasters, however, fell off to go, and though the figures for last year are nol yet available they are believed not to be below those for the preceding year. This year disasters have so far been alarmingly pa the increase. Dealing with this question, the Jij Skinfo remarks that the exact percentage of calamities to japanese|| ships in comparison with foreign vessels can- not be known until after a careful inquiry has been made, but generally speaking the rate seems larger on the Japanese side... The number of British coasting and over spa service ships that met with disister, during the year ending, June 1,04 is returned at 2,567, which corresponds to 28 per cent of the total number of British ships on the register during the same perini. In 1995, 525 Japanese vessels of aver 20 tons encountered m shaps, being a rate of 37 per cent, which is certainly larger than the British percentage above quoted.

Although, the increase of shipping catas trophes may be inevitable to a cerinin extent owing to the sudden augmentation of foonage during the late war, such a succession of dis asters as has recently been recorded can scarce ly be overlooked. Shipping disasters are as frequently caused by natural agencies over which men have no codirol as by neglect or want of proper attention on the part of the sen men. But something like 70 to 8o per cent, of the seainen who are annually brought before the Marine Courts are, found blameworthy in one respect or another and are dealt with sc cordingly. While it follows as a matter of course that shipowners should be very circumspect is the character and ability of the men who navigate their vessels, it is said that on some ships the CICWS are undermanned from economical considerations, and the men are inevitably put to excessive' work, with thi result that untoward incidents occur. If such a state of things really exists it is advisable that the shipowners, for the safeguarding of their own interests as well as those of others; should see that their ships are properly manned and efficiently handled, so as 10 minimise the disasters which have become so alarmingly liequent of lato years.~Japan Chronicle.

JAPANESE COMMENT ON, THE NEW POLICY.

The refusal of Mr. Fisher, U.S. Consul at Harbin, to recognise Russian territorial rights is Harbin, which has developed into a diplo matic question between the United States and Russia, has naturally aroused considerable at- tention in Japan. It is recognised that the question between America and Russia must eventually involve Japan, and that difficulties will be raised with regard to Japanese muni- cipal administration in Mukden and other places in South Manchuria One journal says |that the Japanese Government is investigating the best courte to be taken'in view of the

quip, the secretary of the Longshoremen's Syndicate, said: "I see it is reported the P.R. in thinking of moving to Three Rivers if the longshoremen of Quebec will not
