The establishment of a line of steamers | to ply between Hongkong and Cooktown has awakened the attention of the Austra lian Press to the fact that the Chinese are getting a strong hold on North Queens land, and to the importance of business re- lations between the colony and Chins. The Australasian says that the "establish ment of a regular line of steamers, owned by a Chinese firm, plying monthly with! passengers and goods between an Australian - Colony and China is an event, Judeed, that opens up vast probabilities." If the paa- saugers by the line do not settle, they will, at any rate, work for a time, and no con- tribute to the development of the resources of the country.
