The Peking correspondent of The Times telegraphs that the Opal contract for the Anglo German Tientsin-Chin-kiang trunk◄ railway has now been drafted by the British' and Chinese Corporation and the Deutsch- Asiatische Bank, and will shortly be formal- ly laid before the Chinese Government. Count von Bitlow's instructions to Baron Mumm von Sohwarzenstein, communicated to the Wai wu-pu, ace that Germany will decline to open commercial treaty negotia- tions as provided by the protocol of 1901 until the final contract for this railway has been signed. The preliminary contract pro- vided for a losm of £7,400,000 of which two thirds was to be German and one-third

British. The fin
final contract changes the terminus to Pu-kou, opposite -Nanking, and increases the loan to £10,000,000, of which £6,500,000 is to be German, and £8,500,000 British, the whole to be secured the railway, and to bear interest at G per cent., guaranteed by the Chinese Go- vornment. The railway, which is to be under foreign management, will join the line from Tientsin to Tal nan f
the capital of shan-tung, and then run from Tei-man-fu to the southern border of the province, where the British section will continue to the Yangtze in the hope of creating a trade between Shantung and the 1376 Yangtáze.

Touching biography, it seems not quite so puck as it used to be for the novelist to write his own life in romance form, Yot Dickens scored a success with David Copperfield. The attempt of Disraeli has considerable interest still, in that results can be compared with plans. Varian Grey is prophetic, disclosing the determination of a precocious boy to be great at any cost. Contarini Fleming is psychological. Disraeli's fiery mind was in the crucible. We see the struggles and doubts which beset early manhood: the desire for literary and poetical fame on the one hard, and the cal's of political ambition on the other. Endymion is retrospective. The maturo mind is locking back on objects attained. The work, however, is comparatively col orless and clumsy. This trio of works truly
