PARIS, May 4th.
It appears that a large proportion of railwayinen and winers have no intention of obeying the strike order. The latest news indicates an improved sismation on the railways, but the outlook as regards the duckers and seamen is serious.
There have been several attempt at sabotage on the railways. In one case, a train was detailed and the volunteer driver killed.

THE CONSORTIUM.
PERING, March 4th. A Reuter's telegran mentions a ship- ment of four willion Gold to China in connection with the Consortium Loan. The shipment, however. represents the usual transfer and is not connected with the Consortium, which is not yet formed, the chief obstacles being the
uncertainty
of the Tokyo Government's consent to the Japan banking group entering the Con- sortium-without-recognition of Japan's exclusive position in Manchuria and Mongolia; also China's refusal to honour certain Hukuang Loan bonds.
MOTOR BOATING.
THE COMING SPORT....
A branch of sport which is becom- ing very popular in Great Britain and America is motor-boating. and, the wonder of it is that it has not been taken up more extensively here ere this.. Perhaps one reason has been the amount of labour which was formerly involved in connection with motors of old and clumsy design and uncertain habits.
The modern types of marine motor. such as the "Kermath" for example, are so easily controlled that they can even be handled by ladies who rum their own boats, the engine being very easy to start, and the working parts encased so that oil is not thrown about the boat. No leakage occurs at the ends of crank shafts which are provided with oil return grooves Eke the Kermath. "* :
White alpacas are perfectly safe, as the power plant is completely enclosed, and there is no need to call in the dry cleaner after. a trip on a "Kermath "equipped boat. This brand of motor is of the 4-cylinder and 4-cycle type, which is replacing the 2-cycle marine engine rapidly, it being found that the "fours" are more dependable, easier to start, and are more flexible when it comes to action and control.
One of the outstanding features of the 20-.p. "Kermath is the use of chrome vanadium steel in the "Bana- dium 20," manufactured by the Ker math Company. It is claimed that the use of this high grade steel in marine engines is unique, it not being used for that purpose, generally, even in the most expensive racing engines.
A well known Hongkong firm, Messrs. Hogg. Karanjia & Company. represents the Kermath Manufacturing Company here, and Mr. Williams, their engineer, is looking forward to the time when the harbour will be full of pleasure, as well as working, motor-launches.
The 8. "Szechuen," built for the China Navigation Company, Ltd., will be launched from the works of the Taikoo Dockyard and Engineering Company on Saturday, May 8, at 11.30 aim.
