THE YUET-HAN RAILWAY.
[From a Correspondent.]
Canton, 4th October.
Some of the directors of the Yuet-han Railway Co., Ld., at Canton, thinking that the superintendence of the work of construction of the line is too responsible and important to be entrusted solely to Mr. Kong, the chief engineer of the line, are intending to engage the services of the former constructor, an American, Smith by name, to be the assistant, or deputy, engineer-in-charge, and with this object in view, have already wired to America, offering him the position, and asking him to come out as soon as possible. Whether he will accept the offer is, of course, not yet known, and remains to be seen.
