SHIPPING NEWS.

Arming of N.Y K. Vessels.

At present the N.Y.K. vessels going to Europe are armed with light guns at the stern. One gun aft is only sufficient to meet the enemy fron behind, and it is thought that if the Hitachi-mari/ aunk in the Indian Ocean, bad had a gun at the bow;, she could. have put up a better fight against the enemy. In view of this fact, it is said that the Nippon Yusen Kaisha has decided to arm its vessels on the European run something after the fashion of converted cruisers, by mounting guns both at the stern and bow.

Japanese Shipping for England

and America.

According to the“ Kokumin Shimbun the amount of ship- ping which Japan, is to furnish under the agreement with America is 300.000 tons and not. 200,000 tons as previously report- ed. The Kokumin" says that 100.000 tons of this amount are to be chartered to 'America and 200,000 to England. As soon as agreement is reached the ship control act will be enforced to commander. the

песеннагу amount of shipping. As the charter rate in England and America is lower than that in- Japan, in order to avoid heavy losses to the abipowners the Government will be give a guar- antes to pay Y12 per ton per month to make the difference. The Kokuminaaya that a special finance bill must be in- troduced into the Diet to provide for this guarantee. The author- ity for the above statements is not given.

Taku Bar-Approach to the Halho.

Notice is given that a new direction for the passage of vessels across the Taru Bar, approach to the Haiho, has been adopted, and that, in consequence, the following alterations in aide to naviation have been made:- The light-vessel Taku has been moved about 7 cables south from her former position and is | now moored in 24 feet of water. From the light-vessel, the North Fort Cavaller bears N. 64°. W. distant 8.3 miles. The entrance buoy has been moved about cables south from its former position and is now moored ia 14 feat of water. From the buoy, the North Fort Cavalier bears N., 61°. Wh distant 6 08 miles.

The effort of the shipowners, as was made clear during the recent strike, is secure a flat rate of increase for all cf the ships operated by the members of the association, while Commissioner Cui is apparently, of the belief that increase should be granted in the cases individual vessels in accordance with the showing made in their operating statements. Whether the two points of view dan be reconciled and a satisfactory com- promise adopted seems doubtful, and owing to the fact that it is apparently impossible to solve the problem in a practical manner by granting ried rates
