India; but where Colonel Younghusband's troops can penetrate in one direction, bodies of Russian troops could penetrate in the reverse direction, and we should never be safe from imaging demonstrations at critical momeuta, The Indian Government, however, seems *buffer determined to preserve Tibet as a state"; its position is a strong exè,as it is acting atrictly within its treaty rights; and if Russia takes overt action now, Lhasss is 1,500 miles from her advanced posts in Ferghana.
With reference to the good advice given by Nepal to Tibet the Allahabad Pioneer quotes the second article of the treaty of 1856 between the two, countries, which runs as follows:- The States of Gurkha and Tibet have both borns allogianes to the Emperor of Chins up to The country of Tibet is the present time. merely the shrine or place of worship of the Lama, for which reason the Gurkha Govers ment will in future give all the assistance flint may be in its power to the Government of Tibet, if the troops of any other Raja juvade that country."
(FROM A BERLIN CORRESPONDENT.] The recently announced understanding arrived at by the European capitaliste assures the expeditions milding of the railway This section of from Kouis to Erekli. the railway is 10 miles long, or about -fifth of the already existing Anatoliau Railway. In the course of the year 1905 traffio On this 19ute is, according to the agreement with the Sublime Porte, to be opened. As in German capitalists have taken the land this engineering enterprise, the contruction of the railroad was giron to & Genean firm, Musers, Philip Holzmann and Company, of Frankfort-on-Maine, which firm, it will be remembered, were the chief contractors for the Anatolian Dailways. For the superin toudance of the construction the services of the well-known railway engineer, ar. Muckieson, hays been soured. While the new line will pass for miles through a desert, it is a matter of history that, in ancient times, agriculture flourished in these regions. Asin the case of the regions traversed by the Austolian Railway, it is naturally expected that, with better mens of transportation, the tilling of the soil and rearing of cattle will be revived. The on- gineering diffoulties of this section are net considered to be very great, but will probably be somewhat greater when the projectel exten ivu to Adons and the Taurus Mountains iscommeno- ed, as beyond that rauge the climatic conditions and the telessness of the Bedouin tribes will cause able inconvenienes and interruption. But probably in time, with the advance of the railroad, the old canais next for irrigation will be restored, for it is in those regions that the land was so fertile as to fill the ancient Gresks with wonder, the higher level of the Tigris zivor greatly facilitating the work of distribution of water. Where now, practically, the desert reigns supreme, paddy fields and cotton plaats tions will yield rich crops. And thus it is the promising returus expocted from the transporta- tion of now agricultural products, more than the already existing wealth in metallic ore, and kerosene oil wells that attracts European capital to thess long neglected regions of ruin and desolation. It is fifteen years since the Turkish Government granted the first concession for building a railway from Ismid to Angora, and the whole system of the Anatolian railway, covering 640 miles, grow out of that concession, bringing about a very satisfactory economic development of the internal vitages of Asia Minor. Whether the projected Baghdad railway will produce similar results depends, to a great extent, on the political factors in the fate of Moropean. Tatkoyer

In the preamble to the treaty occurred the following specifle reference to China:"We further agree that the Emperor of China is to be obeyed by both States us before, and that the two States are to treat each other like brothers, for so long as their actions correspond with the spirit of this treaty. It is, therefore, highly significant that Nepal regards the pre- sent proceedings of the Indian Government as being thorougbly justified.
