MACAO NOTES.
--{FROM-OUR-CORRESPONDENT.)–
MACAO, January 22nd.
For more than a week, there' bare been rumours here that a party composed of five or six foreigners, supposed to be Germans, have been busy surveying the Island of Leppa, opposite the inner barbour of Macao. As the whole
which is larger than this colony, is
Accapled by farmers and the lowest class
of Chinese, who in truth never pay any attention to foreigners, very Hitle has transplied as to the doings of the above-mentioned party. There is no German Consal here so, not even a hint is obtainable as to the 'authenticity of the rumour,
So far no German warships have been soon here, but still some of them may be on the other alde of Lapps. Nearly the whole of that island is under cultivation as far as the base of the moantalus. Belog about four Ilmės as large as Macao it should prova invaluable to any nation bent on territorial and commercial expansion.
It may not be generally known that in the early fortler, when, this colony (Macao) was governed by Ferrelrado Amaras, at Lappa, mfter great fire, there was always kept a Portuguese fire-engine, and a squad of soldiers was sent over there by that Governor ostensibly for the purpose of
of guarding the fire engine. However, ister on, one of the sub-perfects ruling that neighborhood, while thanking the Portuguese on the one hand, he with the other begged them to give them selves no further trouble as there was no likti-
hood of fires. The fire-engine was thereupon removed and since then no Portuguese force bas ever gone there under soy pretext whatever,

MERCANTILE MARINE AFFAIRS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "Honakowa TelegrarK." SIR-May I again crave space in your columas In order to reply to "British Offices ?" That Individual seems to possess too much headway, and will be running over his own buoy If he does not got a few turns asterns. He apparently
thinks that "The Man On The Look Out," by his letter in the Telegraph of the roth instant, wishes to lay the blame on the B.M.M.O.A. for
want of energy in net agitating the C.O. Bill. I don't tblok he (British Officer) should stomp and agitate after the manner of trades-unions and be the means of causing ill-feeling between employers and employds. What I desired to make generally known was the fact that such a Bill had passed into law in Great Britain on the 1st January, and that the B.M.M.O.A. out here appears to have no knowledge of that fact, I must demur to "B.O.'s" remark that I consider myself zeli posted, but in justice to myself I may add that I took the trouble to send home for a copy of the Bill and I believe I was the first In Hongkong to possess one. This fact amply reduces to absurdity the contention that the B.M.M.O.A. worked hand-in-glove with the home associations in this matter.
I am, Sir,
Your faithfully
THE MAN ON THE LOOK OUT. January 18th, 1895. ["British, Officer" did not assert that the"
B.M.M.O.A. "worked hand-in-glove with the home associations to get the Certificated Officers Bill through the House of Commons." What he said was" As member of the British Mercantile Marina Officers' Associa tion I therefore wilte to say that our. Associa- tlon, ever since its foundation in 1890, bas strongly, and often publicly, advocated the reforms which the C. O. Bill provides for, especially in respect to the granting of certia. cates of competency by the Board of Trade to British subjects only, and communiented its views to the Home Associations-he pro- moters of the Bill. No ureful purpose would be served by entering fate farther detalls it this juncture. Facts are facts, and what I have stated cannot be honestly gainsaid.” We have reason to believe that our correspondent Brit Ish Officer " has confined himself to absolute fxcis, and that scores of cerilfcated British master and officers can endorse his state- menis.

Mr. Bigham said the Sun Company owned the
correspondant in London, who on the 27th sent letter which contained the following passages:-"It is time to point out clearly to American readers of the war news from the Far East certain facts regarding the origin of this intelligence. All the press despatches from China and Japan came first to London, whence they are distributed to the proper destinations. The truth is that a great quantity of the matter thus sent out from London under Arlalle dates is bogus, and never came over the Eastern lines, "Certain moribond news agencies having their headquarters in this city are responsible for these trands upon the press and the people of Europe and America. The outrage has become exasperat tok. A most glaring example is exposed to-day. The early editions of the evening newspapers of London contained a Renter's Agency dispatch, purporting to come from Yokobams. The | readers of the Sas know the only genuine dispatches to the European newspapers from the Tafpick... actual seat of operations slace the way began are those received from the correspondents of the Central News of Londos."

From these remarks it will be seen, that while water will somehow or other be got by private enterprise at place after place as required, tramway communication calls for outside help, and is now the prime essential. But it is the speculator and not the tramway engineer who is in evidence at present.
The routine of gold mining operations at Coolgardle is familiar to anyone who recollects Wynaad in the years 1880-81, only it is belag repeated on a much larger scale, Bledly, a class of "mineral viewers" exists in Australia who are generally fitted out with camp equipment, sud have their expe' ses paid by syndicates at Melbourne, Adelaide, and Sydney, who raise a capital of about one thousand pounds at a time. There viewers examine the wilds, and on finding payable quarts peg out a claim of any forty acres for each member of search party, which is surveyed and registered as the property of the syndicalc, under the Mining Act of the colony. The syndicate have then "to keep a man on nominal work upon each claim as long as they wish to retain a title. Just now wages amount incidental there is a heavy unproductive outlay, to 64 per man weekly, and with any other work till machinery, which may cont£10,000, la cocted by powerful company. The next process is to enlarge the Syndicate into a regular mining corporation and dispose of the whole property on the reports of mining experts to a new company with directors in London, and whose shares are quoted on the Stock Exchanges. In the case of Wynand it may be remembered these companies were formed right and left, and shares rose and fell long before a stack of machinery bad time to reach the ports of India, stil leka get trans. posted up the Western Ghats, and crush any gold.
