SWATOW NOTES.

(PROT A CORRESPONDENT.)

TI PHOON. October was heralded in with the worst blow of the songon; two typhoons occurred within. tine days. The last Friday in September was made unpleasant by the presence of a typhoon in the Formoss Channel, and before the weather had cleared up from that, another came close to Swatow, striking the coast 50 miles to. the north On Saturday, September 30th, the barometer fall to 99.25 inches, and the storm raged until Monday morning, attaining its' fall fury On Sunday avoning. When it WAX visible through the driving rsin, the harbour was desorted, wants of water, The tide, piled up by the east wind was exceptionally high-the band was sub. merged, and now presenta a dilapidated appear auce, especially on the Kakchia (Santhers) side of the harbour. Comparatively little damage war done-one foreign house partially collapsed; the remains of the jetty of the British Consal- ato look even moro battered and unsafe, than They did before; and the gangwaya' of, sawn of the pontoons were demolished.

For Swatow, the most serious offect of the storm was this temporary isolation sufferal afterwards. Telegraph lines to the North and South were down, and communication was impossible. -- This phasizes if euphasis be needed, the crying nood, here of a cable, Amoy, with only some 50 per cent of the trade of Swatow, has one, yet this port is left dependant on the asprice of the Chinese Telegraph Administration, with its il-main- teined lips and oxorbitant rates. Eron in normal weather it is no unusual thing to find the northern lines are down, when tělo, grams to Shanghai have to be sent rid Can Lon and Hongkong, at a cost of three times the ordinary rate. Why cannot the cable companies awaken to. a sose of the needs of Swatow, and of the prospects before. them in. this the fifth port of China?

THE TRAGEDY OF THE "ILBE." The terrible loss suffered by the captain of the Jebsen steamer Ilse and his wife must call for the utmost sympathy, When the boat went ou the rocks at Breaker Point, they themselves barely escaped with, their lives after a severe buffeting; all their belongings went down, and, Ja one stroke they were robbed of both their children.

This announcement is interesting because it shows that it is considered necessary to have a station for communicating with Shipping in sddition to the High Power Station decided upon at the Imperial Conference,”
