HONG KONG BOARD OF TRADE TO
REBEL.
Powers May Have to Destroy It's Trade
to Stop Smuggling Of Arms
to China.

New York, August 10.-A dispatch from
London to the Journal and Advertiser
says:
All efforts on the part of British and
foreign governments to stop the supply
of war material to the Chinese are des-
timed to prove of no avail as long as the
chamber of commerce and legislative
council Of Hong Kong maintain their
selfish resistance to the execution Of the
restrictive measures decreed by the pow
ers prohibiting the export of war mate
rial to China.
An immense trade is done at Hong
Kong in the sale of arms and .ammuni-
ton to both the Chinese and the Filipino
insurgents. Indeed, the latter as well as
the Chinese draw all their supplies of this
kind from Hong Kong, where the mer-
chants are trying to resist any interfer-
ence with their business. Hong Kong
has no custom house and has therefore
no means of checking the imports or ,ex-
ports N the shippers do not choose to
make a purely voluntary declaration at
the harbor office.
The chamber of commerce and the
legislative council Of Hong Kong are re-
solved to fight the government tooth and
nail In the matter. declaring that It will
constitute a blow at the traditional "free-
dom Of the port OF Hong Kong" and
nave engaged Queen's Counsellor Fran

that the pushing of the wire through a
