The Nippon Yusen Kaiha steamers Kumano Maru, Aki Maru and Shidzuoka Maru, the sailings of which were postponed till to-day, have again indefinitely postponed their departure, owing to the strike of the seamen, which shows no signs of abatement.
The Shanghai Maru arrived at Nagasaki to-day. Some members of the crew wired to the Seamen's Union at Kobe their decision to join the strike, but it is reported that the Union replied deprecate ing their joining and saying that a strike at Kobe was sufficient.—Reuter.

Tokio, Nov. 11.
The strike of the seamen of thy Nippon Yusen Kaisha, has been amicably settled, og the employers yesterday decided to pay the seamen up to March of next year the allowances, which were recently reduced by half, in the name of "earthquake solatium." As a consequence, all the vessels tied up in Kobe harbour will, it is expected, sail from the port in a day or two.—Eastern News Agency. a A late resident of Hankow who is at present in Scotland writes out in high glee that the first day he was in Aberdeen he found a penny, says the "Central China Post.". This, says a local Sagsenach, brings home to him more than anything what far reaching changes have been brought about by the war.
