Qaboris artived some moonfarago, the Scotia came and laid the sea cable and deported, and atill
- there has boon-no sign of Kifo. Various rumoure
have been current to account for the delay. T T was said that the representatives of the Eastern Company having some time aloo consented to land their shore and on a bulk, the Chinese were endeavouring to keep the Company to this co- dition, while the Company was insisting on hav. ing the same facilities as as enjoyed by the. Great Northern Telegraph Company. Another story was that the opposition of the Chinese was dus to the refusal of the Hongkong Government to allow the Chinees Hongkong and Canton cablo toka aztended from Kowloon to Hongkong, and that until this permission was granted, no English enḥla was to be landed on Chinesa soil." Noma. averred, that, thus real upposition came from the Great Northern Talograph Company, who bei liers themselves to have a sole concession, not only to land cables on the mainland of Chine, Eat to construct all the land linss the Chinese may require for a considerable number of years. We do not know exactly, and probably shall not know, whether the delay from which the Eastern Company has suffered, is due to one or all of these canses; but wo are glad to know that the diffealty at Last arranged. The land line from Shanghai to Woosing is being constructi ed, sad in a few days the Eastern Company's oflea here will be in direct communication with Umgkong. Arrmeomorta ars being made to build a station at Wossatg, and in a very brief period the altornative line to Hongkong will ha Open for use and in sotive operation, and
To enable this satisfactory culto bacenoliad, however, the Chinese have not given way. The station in Shanghai, the land line to Worang and the station thero, are to be the property of the Chinees anthorities, and aw to be leased by:
