THE CANTON HANKOW LINE:
Pallis, Jan. 14.
Information from Drussels' reaching the highest quarters hero is to the effort that the extensive interests of KingLeopold in the Canton-Hankow Railroad have paa- sed into the hands of representatives of Mr J. Pierpont Morgan of New York. Nego. tiations had been going on for some time, as it was contempleted to combine French, Belgian, and American interesta so an to eventually cover the Fanco-Bolgian concos- sion for a line from Peking to Hankow, thus making a continuous; trunk line from. Peking to Canton, outting from north to south through the heart of populous Chios, The extent of this project is compared by those familiar with the nogotiations with the trans-continential lines donnecting Now York and San Francisco. That portion of the project relating to Poking and Hankow is still in abeyance, but the French view appears favourable to combining the inte resta so as to make a continuous route from the capital to the great emporium in the south. That portion relating to the Han- kow Canton Railroad is considered to have been closed by the transforence of the interests of which the personal holdings of King Leopold make up the largest part of Morgan's. This branch of the negotiations. was conducted at Brussels..
FREIGHT CIRCULAR.
Mesara Lamke and Rogge reported for the Mail of Saturday
The freight market during the past fort- night has again not been characterised by much activity, only a moderate amount of business having been transacted.
From Saigon to this port the season has opened and some engagements are on record at rates ranging from 13 to 17 cents per picu according to size of steamer for immediate
leading. Quite latterly the local rice market
has gone down and in consequence a some- what weaker feeling is perceptible. Clos ing quotations stand at about 10 cents per picul.
From Saigon to Philippine porta a couple of charters have been effected at 29 and 31 cants repectively. For the time being there

THE BRITISH AND THE BOERS.
PARIS, Jan. 31.
Mr Stoyn, former President of the Orange Free State (now the Orange River Colony), has left Paris for South Africa. He has become reconciled to changed con- ditions, and intends to reside on his farm in the Orange River Colony,
The departure of Mr Steyn was made the occasion for a gathering of Boer sympath- isers at the Northern Railrond station. Mr Steyn expressed his thanks for the sym pathy manifested towards him. He was glad to return to his farm near Bloemfonts- in. When a representative of the Asso- ciated Press asked Mr Stoyn concerning reports of another uprising of the Boers, Mr Steyn mswered:
'We have given our parole to the British Government, and as men of honour wo shall keep it. I look forward to the day. which I think is near, when South Africa will have renewed prosperity, with English- mon and Boers working side by side.'
Mr Steyn cited as evidence of his feeling the fact that he was leaving his son to be educated at Cambridge University, and alded:
The Boers would be the first to help put down an uprising of the blacks against the British.' ·
The former President is still. partially paralysed and has been under the care of private specialists.
THE YARN MARKET.
Messrs Caswasjee, Pallanjec and Com- pany reported on February 24:-Since the issue of our last report on the 11th inst. Simla" exchange continued stea- per 8.8. dily to decline and holders did not remain fru, but some of them put in an appea- rance in the market and commenced to make inquirica about the prices of superior favourite spinninga with a view to purchase some bales on their own account. This induced our native operators to reappear in the market, and some favourite tickets
changed hands at an advance of $1 to $2 per bale on previous quotation. Latterly, owing to the nows of a heavy decline in the values of raw cotton the Chinese are not buying, as importers are unwilling to meet buyers in a falling exchange. The native dealers are under the impression that owing to the cheapness of raw cotton the prices of yarn here will farther recede. The market has again become quiet though Hicady.

LIVER COMPLAINT FOR 20 YEARS.
MA
CURED BILL BEANS.
ANY are the disorders arising from liver complaint, but very few are the medicines that can effectually cure it. I Of the tried remedies Bile Beans stand out pre-eminently as the speediest, most cor- tain, and most economical in all disorders of the liver. Such testimony as that given by Mts Emily Sophia Clarke, of Ipswich Street, Stowmarket, Suffolk, England, is striking evidence of the sterling worth of this vegetable medicine..
She says:-Ibad suffered from my liver for twenty years, and gradually got worse until I completely broke down. The liver disorder destroyed my digestion, and every- thing I ate turned sour on my stomach. I had also a constant aching in my back. I used to get up in the morning feeling heavy, weak, and tired. I should drag on during the morning, but in the afternoon I should be so done up as to be compelled to lie down and rest. The pairs in the tide and the sensations of heaviness were most troublesome. I attended the Royal Free:__ Hospital in London for some time, Mar. and tried all kinds of remedies, but I got no better.
I read une day of a case similar to mine which Bile Beans had cured, and I decided to try them. The result of persevering with their use was that I soon began to pick up. After having had a few bottles I felt I was on the highway to recovery, and I am glad to say they have now cured me completely. I can now get up in the morn. ing feeling well and strong, can enjoy my breakfast, and can do my work without effort. This means a lot as you will un- derstand when I tell you that I am work ing from 7 in the morning till 11 at night. Indeed I feel better and stronger now than ever I did before. This I owe to Bile Beans,"
Bile Beans are also a cure for indigestion, nstipation, piles, headache, female ail- ments, debility, flatulence, and all bland. impurities. Of all chemists and medicine vendors. Price 75 cents (Mex.) per bottle.

Luck was against him all day; he hooked three salmon without lands ing one, and an the last slipped off the hook and he was lamenting his ill-luck the lad broke out, Lor, Sir, how could you expect any luck after passing a woman with a head of hair like that, and so early in the morning?
