HONGKONG'S FUTURE.
The Kowloon-Canton Railway.
For something over fifty years the Bri- tish colony of Hongkong has held the un disputed position of sole ocean seaport to the provinces of Bouthern China, which in- cludes Canton,, with all the hinterland tap- ped by that great city. With this arrange- ment, Britons the world over are consc- quently familiarised, and the entirely home-reared variety comfortably believes it 'to Lo unalterable as the laws of the Modes and Persians. But there is a certain Ameri- can-Belgian syndicate which is of a differ.. "ent opinion, and acts accordingly. This syndicate some five years ago obtained a concession to build a railway from Canton to Hankow, and, not to be outdone, a Bri-. tish corporation likewise asked and received a concession to construct a line from Kow- loon to Canton. The route,selected ran via Tsin-tsa-tsui and Samchun, the preliminary survey was duly made and there followed- futile insotion; so that to-day not one sod

Unless the Kowloon railway is in process of building, a small further con- cession will be asked from China to enable the American-Belgian Company to connect the port of Swalow with its trunk railway by means of a brauch line from some uitable junction between the two main termini. The effect of this arrangement would be to establish an ocean port in 1382 South China in direct rail communication

ENLIGHTENMENT AT HOME.
In the House of Commons on July 4 Mr Herbert Samuel asked whether the recent embarkation of Chinese indentured la- bourers at Hongkong was not a contraven- tion of the Anglo-Chinese Convention, which required that they should be ombarked only at a treaty port; whether the Chinese Viceroy at Canton had prohi bited' the recruiting of any more coolies for the Transvaal; and, if so, whether his act was taken as a protest against the Töfraction of the convention.
Mr Lyttelton replied that the Conven. tion did not apply to Hongkong, and there had been Do contravention of it. It was true that about two months ago the Viceroy of Canton issued a proclamation declaring recruiting for South Africa illegal. His Majesty's Minister in Poking make representations, and the Viceroy had been requested to withdraw the prohibition.
Mr Herbert Samuel asked whether the coolies embarked at Hongkong wore exclud- ed from the purview of of the convention? Mr Lyttelton: The convention cannot apply to Hongkong, which is not a treaty port but a British colony. 5'ho labourers

A Japanese resident at the Cape, in tho course of an interview with a representative of the Argus, said that Japan was probably the only country in which beri-beri had been thoroughly studied.
Tho disease had been found to be not infectious. Rice was one of the principal causes of bori-heri, but the substitution of bread for rice had stamped out the disease in the Japanese Navy, in which it was at one timo serious. Although the climate of Johannesburg was inimical to beri-beri, he suggested the summoning of a Japanese specialist.
