THE CHINA MAIL,
quite alive to the changes which are proceeding in the condition affecting both railways and shipping, and the macager of one of the larger shipping| lines has recently been in the United | Staten investigating this matter, a
With Enthers he has come to the conclusion that it is not likely that the itinergy of passenger lines from Europe to the Far East will be transferred from the Sues to the Panama Canal route, be cause most of the lines trading be- tween Europe and Far East by the Sucz route toach at valuable ports on the way and tap the India trade, and also because it is only the northerly points that will be brought bearer by the Panama Canal The larger Japanese shipping lines will probably inaugurata cargo services from Europe to Japan through the canal, and also perhaps, trout New York to Japan. The most important effect of the new route, however, is likely to be the development of the Pacific Coast of North Americae Pacific Coast of South America will also benefit A proportion of those vessel which at present trade between Europe, the West Indies, and the Gult of the Mexico will also probably. pase through the Canal to the porta on the western coast of North America.

As you were informed in the letter from this office of the 14th ultime, Secretary Sir E. Grey referred in due course to the proper Department of His Majesty's Government your letter January 8th urging again the desirability of light to assist navigation, being established in the vicinity of the Pars cois Beef, Chine Sea.
The Board of Trado have now informed Sir E. Grey that they still consider that the erection of one light in the vicinity would not be of cool value to shipping and that the cost of the erection of suf- ficient lights to ensure safety to`ravigh- tion in the neighbourhood of the 'reef would be very "grons."

It is reported that American prospectors have found valuable despite of lee in the neighbourhood of Mira Say, in British territory, and that mines will skorsky

The Board add that the cost of such work could not legally be charged to the General Lighthouse Fund, and they point out the improbability of the Chinese overnment undertaking the work and
fraying the experise.
the us of the Eight would therefore only be in poot to a vessat which happened, to get into range by accident, and is would thus guard only some 20 miles of
danger longth of 80 mlies. Further, I do not consider that a light there would, our full powered ressols to pasm to the frostward of the Paracola, and no regsed low powered ataogers; those are just those bow would be in glined to attempt to make the light and ur incur a greater danger than would have existed in its absences
