5th July. Not long ago the Viceroy Li Hang-changin a secret Memorial to the Throne recommended that & railway should be established between this placs and Peking. After the Touquin difficalty Tid the Fault und the humili ng position of

the Chinese Government, which had to listen to

the diobates of France, and the oppotent suziety of the former to soralads & penos, China was prepared to do anything to place, herself in a state wherein to cups with her forsiga adver- caries. The Throne was therefore willing to do it, if the soberan would strengthen its power, and so it ordored the Tegli Yamên to deliberate sad report on the matter. At this point evory thing seem to favour the question and great hopes were entertained that the measure would be carried. The honourable members of the Taung-Ji Yamên, however, shirked the respon- sibility of the affair, and referred it to the Grand Council, who did likeriga, and agreed that as the question was a great me, they should leave it till The Cugat are orams, and as he was a great man

and well experienced, ko smuld decide to matter. Tas, on arriving in Faking, and having” rested several days, had an ancience with the Empress Da vager in co npany with the Saventh Princë. When asked what he thought of the project, Tao settled the matr, so the rumour goes in a few xpressive words-Li Hung-chang in talking nonsense." Only his words were not so maisot, and very contemptuous. Thus the grand ques tlan which has agitated the foreign and native minde for a quarter of a century is again in dan- ger of falling through. The principal objection to the sohome, it is reported, is that this would be an easy stepping stone for the foreign feo to entar Peking, where the Government wishes to Isolate the Capital as much as possible and render my invasiûu diffent.
