LONDON, 14th Jurin. COMMERCIAL DEPUTATION TO LORD SALISBURY. A deputation of the Associated Chambers, of Commerce has asked the support of the Govern- esant in making trails routes in China, elthør by building or guaranteeing railways.

Lord Salisbury replied that the "Government was unable to assist any milway enterprise outside British territory, but if a powerful and solvant Company was formed the Government

would do its utmost to assist in carrying railways to the edge of British-territory; and that done, there was no doubt that the lines would be able to penetrate into foreign territory whenever desirable.
