Noi very long age a telegram was published indrome of the journals in China to the effect that the way from Poking to Hackow had made such progress that during the month of May it would be opened for train from Peking to Pao Ting fat. It is a melancholy fast that mething of the sort is trus or likely to be true for mouthy to comp. The conuention betweou this line and that which extends from Testein to Toking is made at the Fong-t'ai station, several milén acutheast of the latter city. Then the La-Haa road passes to the market town of La Ko Chino from which the first syllabio of s namasis derived. From this plays the coars of the roul is most a straight line toward Teo Ting-in, except as it is necessary to make lofretions to avoid the deep cuts through the faaf-tilts, which are no groat distapoe.
