CANTON-KOWLOON RAILWAY.
HOPES OF FASTER TRAIN SERVICE.
Canton, Aug. 5. The first shipment of sleepers for the Canton-Kowloon Railway has arrived here from Manila and work of replacing the old the sleepers is to be begun at once. It is hoped that by November a sufficiently large number of new sleepers will have been laid to permit the express trains between Canton and Kowloon to reduce their present time. A larger con- signment is expected from Austra- lla and should arrive soon.
When the work of laying all the new sleepers is competed the time of the express trains should be further reduced;, it is hoped by January or February next to run the trains in 34 hours between Canton and. Kowloon. When this speed is attained the railway will become a very serious competitor to the numerous river boats now plying between Canton and Hong- kong, the fastest of which makes the journey in a little under six hours.

The first work, to be begun at once, is the building of wharves and godowns and the dredging of i the new port. The cost of this is estimated at one and a half militon dollars and as soon as this money is remitted to the Board, the work will be commenced. It is reported that the Board has already placed an order with a well-known Ger- man engineering firm here for two dredgers to operate in the port.
Meantime the matter of the much-talked-of free port for the Chung Shan Model District at Tongka-wan seems to be fallizz into oblivion. General Chan. Bling- shu, Civil Governor of Kwangtung, and his party, who have been on a tour of inspection at Tongka- wan, returned here last Saturday by the gunboat Chung Shan. They had been there to inspect the damage done by the recent typhoon which visited that area two weeks age and to fix an official.opening date for the new port. So far the official opening has been twice de- layed and no further date has so far been fixed. Our Own Cor- respondent.
