This desirable step of pre-asseveration of morality and good colder gress is, we understand, being made under the supervision of, Captain F. W. Lyons of the Polica, who has already achieved results in *direction that are surprising what one considers the mergie financial supplies at his disposal. As time goes on, op daabi, the fender roads will be thoroughly systematised, thereby "adding to the valus and in the profits of the railway. At pressat it is hardly possible to sky when the now completed British saction of the railway will be joined up with the Chinese section rapring from the Frontier to Canton. It is, however, a matter of common knowledge that rapid progress is being mads on the Chi- mess vociion; and it is thought by those most concerned in the venture that the joinlog-up will take place before the end of the year," Ob the Kowloon side of the line, there ware :en- glosscing difficulties encountered which have no parallel on the Chloess section. The Bri tish part of the railway measures only az miles, whereas the Chinese langth is no less than 89, milis, bet taken on the whole the lesser Bri- tish section has presented more physical ob stacles to the constructors than those which confront the engineers responsible for the building of the Canton section. Certainly the best of results ought to be looked for from the railway, when it is remembered that the British section bas cost $9,000,000 and that the Chi. 'mass section warrinted a loan of $1,000,000 storlog, Now the question arises whether a antisfactory working arrangement can be arriv- ed at as between the British and the Chinese, It had been in all our minds that some cader- standing, hid beso come to before the railway scheme was solldified, but, appareatly, surb-is not the case; and now it 'transpires that the Colonial authorities are in negotiations with the Viceroy, Yuan Shu-beun, in order to frame the policy to be parsued when the two sections arellakad together. It is rather omloous that those in the Oclony capable of forming what is called a "reasoned opinion" seen to think, the last style over the fence is going to be the hardest of all to tackle By most people YOAD Sbu-bapo is regarded as a reactionary, It is quite certalo that he will not yield the slightest advantage in favour of the British section." The whole matter of a working basis may yet have to bé referred to Peklog, Ho- wever, we hope that the V cerny will prove himself to be amenable to reason and will do bis utmost to further a schome wh ch indubit, ably in designed for the ultimate benefit of Chinese and British alike. --
