OVERLAND TO INDIA. PROSPECTS OF A THROUGH

Inquiries made by a Reutor's representative in various well-informed quarters in Loudon in regard to the proposal to connect the railways of Basis and fadia by means of an international. Eino through Persia show that there is no ovidenes of any political hostility to the proposal. In fact, there apposra to bo no doubt that avor a year age the question was brought before some of the leading responsible British statesmen and met with a sympathetic reception. The watter now seems to be taking a definito alapo. In Russin preparations are well advanced and the necessary financial backing in that country is said to have been scared, while in this country the matter is now about to form the subject of conversations in responsible quarters,

Such an enterprise could, how. avor, be formed only as an international bination of financial and commercial men, while the leading intereat should be Russian and English. The Russian promoters of the Ides had therefore formed a Russian group with a view to ultimately developing it into an interna- tional company to study the question and after wards to build the line

The main idea, according to M. Zvegutself, was that the Russian group should bring together those who might be interested in tho question in England and find the necessary international capital.

For that reason the Russian group dit not think it possible to procent with the scheme before it bad ascertained, more ar less, the reception that the idea, as such, might be likely to find in oficial and commercial circles in Groat Britain.

The official description of the patent rays;
In the opinion of the group this line must not be regarded as a tool for local political interest, and it is hold that the line cannot be divided into sections controlled by different groups. It must exist as a whole and the company must have an international character, not only as regards the financing of the enterprise but also as far as the board that will have to be nonstituted is con

For that reason, Russia, England, and Persia (the two first as owners of the two ends of the lus and the latter as the owner of the territory on which the line develops) must be predominat, yet French, German, and Belgian interests and the interoste of any other group that may find it convenient to invest will be most heartily welcomed.
