Accounts differ ** to what scially happened, but the best authenticated version is that the anticipated ware or backwash swet up the narrow inlet and carried away the structure, with its Helug|| load. At all events, the occupants of the bridge were suddenly plunged into the sealbing water, to fight blindly and desperately for dear Ille. They were workmen with their wives and child. ren, who had taken advantage of their position in the yard to occupy a site never intended or authorised for spectators. A scene of wild con- fasion followed, the cries for help raised by those who were struggling in the water, and by the few spectators who saw the accident, wars drowned in the cheering which greeted the launch and there was some delay before any altempla al rescas could be made. Heroic efforts in this direction afterwards resulted in large number of persons belog got ashore. Fifty were resuscitated, but so far as to yet known thirty-four lives were last. Eighteen of the victions were women, four men, six boys, and alx girls. One lile wall of four lay unclaimed Among the dead on Wednesday. The pathetle | Incidents are inuumerable. Every single death would,
of course, have this character if xil its attendant circumstances were known. A man who was at work on the Affies saw the inci dent without knowing that his own boy was in the water. Many koew nothing of the disaster till they returned to town, and they went away
congratulating one another, or the owner of the yard, on a most successful launch. When the electric lights were turned on in the mortuary a young working engineer who had, helped to instal them saw his mother and newly-mailad sister among the dead His father and bls brother-in-l presently came in to behold the same awful spectacle.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1698.
THE POWERS AND CHINA.
In the House of Lords, on Friday, June 17th, Lord Connemaren siked th Prime Minister whether any reply had been received from Sir Clando MacD nald to the despatch from his lordship, dated April 4, 1898, with respect to the desire of the Chinese Government la reform their military and naval forces; and whether any reply had been received by Her Majtaly's Government to the inquiry addressed by telegraph to Sir Claude MacDonald with respect Is the concession given some time ago to a Belgian syndicate for alle uniting Pekin with the Yang-ts. The Chinese had asked Her Majesty's Gorerament for efficers, and Her Majesty's Governmen sympathised entirely with the destres of the Chinese Government lo felorm both their military and naval services. The Emperor was said to control more than a millor | of armed men.. His war expenditure amounted to between ten and twenty millions sterling. But Chlas bad always relegated her army to an Interior position, though she bad often shown that her sans possessed plenty of courage. Ho very much feared that the dismemberment of China had already commenced in Manchorla. The only thing that could arrest that dismember: ment was the reform of the military and naval forces of the Empire. In regard to the second question, it was clear that their able and vigilant representative la China, Sie Claude MacDonald, acting, no doubt, on the instructions of the noble marquis, had already directed his attention to the collidly new policy with respect to railways which had lately characterised the Chinese,

The Marquis of Salisbury; Wo have received no direct reply to the telegram of April 4th, but farther communications have passed between Her Majesty's Government and the Governmant of Chian with respect to the reargentation both of the Chinese navy and the Chinese army. With respect to the Chinese navy, I think our negotiatious are more advanced, and wahaya every hope that the distinguished officer who has already performed valuable duties in that service will make arrangements with the Chinese Government by which we shall be able to con tinue to help them to reorgaulag their navy, Your lordships will readily understand that, although there is on our part the utmost willing. ners to facilitate sny undertaking of this kind, we cannot succeed unless there is also a willing ness on the part of the Chloese Government to accept our assistance, and the difficulty bes Bitherla been, not that they will not accept our assistance, but that they will not give, or have not been willing to give, a sofisteally todepen. deat position to the officers who are reat out.

At all events, that must take some Rttle time. We have found no unwillingness on the part of the Chinese Government, so to speak la principle, to accept oar assistance. The only question is whether they will accept it under conditions which are likely to make it of real value, and on that poist communications are still parsing. Of course, we shall give them every facility in our power; but it is very diffi culs to reform these who do not wish to be reformed.
