BE RKELEY, June 22.—The possibil- ities of _American eommerce in the Orient formed the subject of an ad- dress by Dr. Guelph Norman, chairman of the Royal Academy of Science, be- fore the Chamber of Commerca last night. Dr. Norman 1s interested in a commercial concern which has col- onization plans involving the Orient and this ceast, and is Seeking a proper site for his company’s business in this vi- cinit Dr. Norman informed his hearers that the Orient’s trade is a great prize w. worth striving to obtain. He co American merchants to observe ness in all their business relations with the Orient, to offset the opimion that ma. Orlentals now have regarding the “white peri]” from the west. The speaker declared that 'the intro- duction of a through line of steamships from this port to India would double tne Pacific Coast trade in canned fruits canned fish and other products in two years. Statistics show that England buys a vast quantity of California produce and then ships much of it to India to dispose of in the Qrient at a profit. Norman declared that Calitor- niane should get this profit_for thom- selyes. The desirability of improving the wharfage and dock facilities of the Berkeley and Oakland side of the b was pointed out by Dr. Norman. H stated his belief that if this was done and other harbor improvements iade the Oriental trade would in four years be worth not less than $500,009,900 to the port. BT e 2.0 L TO CHANGE CAR ROUTE.

The Town Trustees now have under advisement the proposal to open All- ston way, and upon their decision will depend the action of the railway com- pany in the matter of changing the route into Berkeley.
