Coffee in the Prize Court. Twelve thousand bars of coffee, seized on the KronprinzeSJON Victoria and a dozen other ships, wers the subject of an application in the Prize Court recently, Thê coffee was stated by the Attorney- General to have been shipped by the largest coffee-house in the. United States, Messrs. J. Aron and Co., who before the war did practically no business with either Scandinavia or Russia. Since then their business with these countries had reveloped to a very remarkable extent, but the Crown submitted that the coffee exported was all intended for Germany. The hearing adjourned.

As a result, the Govern- eave more than ment will Y6,000,000, for it was ready to spend Y.6,530, Ou in shipbuilding Bounty this year. The four ships which will receive the last bounty Are the Mike Maru, 3,178 tons, Y.70.207, the Osaka Iron Works; the Ayaha Maru, 5,222 tons, Y.127,633, the Mitsubishi Dock yard; the Shingo Maru, 4,733 tons Y.102, 567 the Uraga Dockyard; - the Shinsei Maru. 4.733 tons, Y.101,877, the Uraga Dickyard.

The Congestion of Cargo ia Kobe. The question of the congestion of import cargo in the port of Kobe is again to the fore, 86ys the "Japan Chronicle" of august 3. It will be remembered that from the latter part of last the year to February las congestion was most seriously about felt, amounting to 130,000 tons. The situation b since been appreciably bettered, but now another serious congest- ion is reported, and the cargo awaiting landing is estimated at 1000 tons. The railway service, warehouse equipment, the de- creased efficiency of coolies, and various other reasons are re sponsible for the congestion, but the main cause is said to be the increased arrivals of iron goods and foreign rice. As larger ship- ments of these goods are shortly expected, it is feared that the siuation will become worse. an example showing the deceas ed efficiency of the coolies, the sub-manager of the Tokyo Soko says that formerly almost any of the coolies could carry one bag of foreign rice, weighting from
