The Canton River.
The Chinese Government has agreed, in a treaty it is now negotiating with Britain, to provide for the removal within two years of barriers which impede traffic and causes silt to accumulate in the Canton river. Canton river is a name given to the chief channel by which the united water of Si-kiang and the Pe-kiang rivers reach the sea through the delta. Shu-kiang or Pearl river is another name for part of this waterway ; and Bocca Tigris, or Bogue, a part of it below Canton, where the estuary is compressed between escarped hills.
