Ordinary opes are marked zoo #, or 66 miles per diem, Urgent ones require 400 or 133 miles, while the most important rise to 800 or 255 miles a day. These distances must be made regardless of weather, or the luckless couplers are punished as common criminals. The highest speed on record is $120 miles eping and was made in the first year of the Taeping rebellion. The system worked admirably in the pre-European days, and is successful to-day in the Inland provinces. It is quite costly and at se becomes a Governmental burden, Within the Empire the expense is borne by the provincial treasuries, while upon the frouilers and to the fendatory states it is borna, by the Imperial

LATE TELEGRAMS.

LONDON, April Sib. ' A question has arisen lately between the Egyptian Government and the Suez Canal Com pany as to the right of vessels in the service of the Coastguard Department, to a free transit through the Canal. It has always been cus- tomary for the Company to allow such versola to pass through the Canal without payment of the usual dues, the perpalasion being readily granted on application to the Canal authorities. Of late objection has been taken by the Company to the free passage of Government steamers in tow by other vessels and containing articles for the use of the Coastguard Department; and the matter is now the subject of negotiations Government who presented himself the other between the Company and the Egyptian
