PROSPECTS OF THE KOWLOON. CAN ON RAILWAY.

K.E. ON THE RELATION TWEEN MERCHANTS AND OFFICIALS.

All apprehensions as to the sfety of the s.s. ♪ oping with bis Excellency Chow Fs, Vice- toy-designats of the Two Kwang provinces, and bis retinue on board, were set at rest when, at an early hour, in the fo-caoon yeşler day (unday) the China Merchants' steamer was signalled at the Peak flagstaff The. Anping, which had been chartered to convey his Excellency to Canton, left Shanghai on Sunday week at midnight, and under ardinary conditions of weather should have arrived in Hongkong en route, for her destination on Thursday. The day wore on, however, and as there was no sign of the steamer Arping the conclusion was arrived at that the thick weather outside, hail detained the vessel with her distinguished passenger. This conjecture, proved correct. The voyage was wholly un- eventful the delay was caused by the beavy monsoon against which the Anping could make comparatively little headway, and owing to the heavy rain squills Ciplain Warwick anchored for two days under the While Dogs, On leaving Shanghai, the Taotai of the North ern port and other local substantive mandarins went down with the Viceregal party as far as Woosung.

As stated, the Auping arrived in the latesoon yesterday. She steanied down to the western end of the harbour and took up her position about 11 o'clock at the moorings of the China Merchant Steam Navigation Co. As such as the vessel had made last Capt. Coleman, side-de- camp to his Excellency the Guvernor, boarded the vessel and extended in the Viceioy an in- vitation, on behalf of the Governor, for His Excellency to land, The invitation, needless to say, was graciously accepted and arrange- ments were accordingly made for the officiat landing in the afternoon.

The procession to Ger.rament 10018 was led by the Viceroy who occupied the Chi- ness chair provided for him, prece 'ed by the usual. red canopy and two huge fan-like devices-the symbols of Chinese authority, Following the Viceroy was his foreign secre- tary, Prefect Lo Tsang-ming, in a Govem ment House chair à me ber of his staff alio borns by the familier red-and-white liveried bearers, and Naval Cadet L.Shiu of the Nab- king College and now attached to the flagship King_Alfred, Cadet Shit rode in the Other members of the Governor's chair. Viceroy's staff were provided with the old-time sedan chair, while three others rode on very diminutive China ponios—a custom reminiscent. of the days of old China and which appeared rather ludicrous in the light of the advanced policy and modern thought expounded by Viceroy Chow Fu later in the day. Capt. Colman brought up the rear of the procession As the Viceroy passed in front of the Guard of Honour drawn from the jr Middlesex Regiment the usual compliment was paid an official of his "rank, while the Band of the 3rd Middlesex played an appropriate air. A special escort of stalwart Sikhs under Sergeant Mic- donald was provided for the Vicergy, The escort marched close up to the Viceroy's chair all the' way to and from Government House. The streets and every point of vantage along the raate were crowded with immense thonga which excited consich table interest in the veteran Chinese statesman who leaned forward in his clair to observe the orderly crowds as he was borne along to the gubernatorial resi- dence

The party arrived at the hotel at 4:45 p.m. On account of his great age the Viceroy made no attempt to mount the long flight of steps to the third storey of the building unaided. His Excellency was ansted on each side by an attendant who conducted him to the reception room..
