on the Situation.
LSTER. The Times adopis a'stronger tone than hitherto in regard to the Far Eastern crisis and declares that our first duty in the event of war between Russia and Japan is to pre-1 vent others from joining in against-Japan; that England cannot under any circum. stances afford to see the dominion of the Far Bast pass into the hands of a single una friendly power, or leuk on and see Japan obliterated or reduced to the rank of a second-rate power.

"The railway runs through a magnificently fertile country covered with corn-fields, and branch lines are in construction penetrating into the districts in which the vast Shansi coal-fields are situated. As soon as a section is opened, the Franco-Belgian Co has the satisfaction of seeing the native population make immediate use of this new rapid means of transport, both for themselves and their pro- ducts, and, in each instance, the profits have covered the working expenses from the outsel The peasants are a pacific and good-tempered people, and the trains are crowded with passen- gers who have at once' realised the advantages attached to the rpidity and cheapness of rail- way travelling. Thanks to the careful instruc- tions circulated by, and the tact of Mr. Jadot, the relations of the European employers with the surrounding population are excellent." The Vicomte believes that, the principal reason that. points to the assured success of the Peking- Hankow line is the fact that the raway never runs parallel with the principal water-ways, so that it is not brought into competition with the cheap system of Chinese river transport, and, in the regions traversed by it, goods were

The Vicomte is of opinion that a railway line running along this river would have to encounter serious competition. "I think," he said, "that the Canton-Haukow Rail- way has iliret great difficulties beforeit. Firstly, the very mountainous country through which a considerable portion of it must pass and which will make its construction extremely expensive. Secondly, the land is far from being as fertile as the big corn producing plaits of the north; and thirdly, owing to the superficial con- formation of the country, the line has to follow valleys in which important rivers already. offer cheap and fairly rapid means of trans. port. For these three reasons it is to be feared that the new railway will take some lime before it can secure profits, though of course in the long run it is bound to succeed and will un- doubtedly attain prosperity. The immediate success of the compieled sections of the Peking Hankow line came as a surprise to its con- structors, who had imagined that some years inust pass before they could secure the eceipts that were actually comingin.

The Russian Commercial Telegraph Bureau at Berlin learns from St. Petersburg, that Admiral Alexeieff has already forwarded the Russian Note to the Russia Minister at Tokio, who probably will hand it to-morrow (i. e.. to. day, the 6th.-The Editor) to the Japanese Government.
