THE PACIFIC MAIL S.S. CO.

THE NEW AGENT.

Mr. Sholom Silverstone, who was recently promote from the assistant Secretaryship of the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Com pany to be agent for the Harriman lines at Hangkong, was the guest of honour, before leaving San Francisco, at a banquet given by the local Chinese merchants.

|

Mr. Silverstone has been with the Occidental and Oriental Company for thirty years, and in the letter inviting him to the least spread in his honour reference was made to the consis tent courtesy with which Silverstone had al- ways treated the company's Asiátic patrons. The banquet was given at the Hung Fa Lau restaurant, 713 17upon: street. 1. P. Schwerin, D.D. Stubbs, Alexander Center and A. C. D. Kerrell, the most prominent of the Harrimas steamship officials in San Francisco, were also

guests.

THE IMPROVEMENT OF

CHINA'S HIGHWAYS,

Everyone knows that the old highways of China, both on land and by water, are numer ous, important, and neglected." In the rivers there are often rapids, like those in the Upper Yangtze, altogether beyond Chinese skill to remedy. In many other cases Oriental apathy contents itself with the aptsrism that "water should be allowed to take its course," and seldom interferes. In the Yellow River, how ever, there is a periodical pretence of protection for the people, not because this stream is a highway, but because its inundations threaten the land tax from scores of counties. If its

vagaries were radically cured by scientific engineering, hundreds of Chinese officials would annually be the poorer by scores of thousands of taels. The Grand Canal is by far the most important of China's nrificial water- ways, extending from Hangchow, the southern Capital of Kublia Khan, to Cambrlu, his northern one or rather to a city in Western Shantang, where entrance is made to a small but important river debouching into the "Sea River at Tientsin, Tho. excavatina af this channel, while a most audacious undertaking for those "middle ages" when nothing of the kind existed in Europe, was a comparatively simple matter to a monarch who had the idea once formed and the labour to accomplish it. Its purpose was to provide an inland through toule for the delivery of the tribute grain from Central China to Peking, at a time when sea voyages were difficult and uncertain.

A CURIOUS, and, unfortunately, fatal accident occurred in Des Voeux Road, West, on the 16th inst, whereby a young Chinese boy last his life. It appears that at the moment when eram cars 9, 23 and 13 were about meeting, East, man attempted to cross the lines from the former going West and the latter going south to north, just as the boy made a similar attempt to cross from north to south. What exactly happened at this juncture could not be ascertained with any exactness from any of the bystanders, but from the account of the motor- mao of car No. 23 the man and boy came in collision, the boy being thrown down on the line, so close to the car that it could not be stopped, and the net catcher in front, failing to. act, passed over the boy who, being thus left on the rails wae run over, and so badly crushed overnment that he had to be removed to the Civil Hospital, where he subsequently auc- cumbed to his injuries. The man in question disappeared in the crowd.

Hers he undressed, donned his pajamas and called out a theerful good. night to the boys outside. An instant later and explosion was heard. The other occupants of the house hastened in, and found Frank O'Brien lying on the floor, beside the bed, in a dying condition. A powder-burned hole im- mediately over the heat was slightly bleeding. He was driven with all speed to the Civil Hos pital. On the way there he died. The un- 1.97 fortunate man was unconscious from the mo. .................261|ment of the accident until his death. Captain Seavers of the Luneth Station, who was among ...fo.46 the first to reach the house, though believing death to have been accidental, nevertheless made a thorough search of the room, for any evidence tending to the contrary. Nothing was found which would indicate that the deed was premeditated. The deceased was in the habit of sleeping with a loaded revolver beneath his pillow, and the theory is that this we pon was in some manner discharged. In letting down his net O'Brien might have dis lodged the revolver, allowing it to fall to the floor. Or he may have been examining it, be Kare retiring, when it was accidentally ex- ploded.
