He then head three short blasts from the Wongkol, and immediately went full speed astern on account of the fact, that presuming the Wongkol was under way, the three blasts meant that she was going astern. The red light was visible at the time he gave the order to stand by the anchor, and appeared to 80 out shortly after. He also observed two bright lights above the level of the Wonghi's awnings. The suggestion that the red light was that of another vessel, beyond the Worg do, was simply impossible. There was only just a slight movement on his vessel, at the time she struck the Wonglol, and he backed out in just a few seconds. The displacement of the Ujina was between 11,000 and 12,000 tons. After the collision, and when he was anchored, a steam launch came alongside and whistled. There were two Europeans on board, one of whom said he was superintendent of the N. D. L, and asked witness if he heard three blasts from the Wonglor! Witness replied There must ho an inquiry into ibis. The caure of the collision is seeing your ied light."

Macao, a3rd November CANTON-MACAO BAILWAY, The railway Convention has been the subject of alare or less general comment. It is not regarded as an unqualified success for Portu guese diplomacy. According to the opinion of A good many the Portuguese Minister has again cut a sorry figure in the abortive attempt to secure any material advantage from the Chinese authorities for this Colony. What they appear to have granted on the one hand, has been more than counteracted by what they will gain on the other. The Convention in its present form benefits (after the Chinese Government) the members of the Syndicate holding land in the Bleungshan district. These members are not Portuguese.

The suggestion by the Macas correspundent of residence, No. 10, Knutsford Terrace, Kowloon, your senior morning contemporary that the ball has been organized in opposition to the religious festivals in December is treated with ridicule here. It is surprising that such utter ros could find publicity, and does not speak much for the veracity of information emanating from this source to the Hongkong press.
