The distance in a direct line from. Peklug to Hankow is about 650 miles, and from Hankow to Canton about foc, or about 1,150 miles in ali. There is new reason, to hope that the treak line connectior there three great clides is about to be actually begun ; bat it is still only a hope. It Is certain that this is Sheng's plan, and that Sheng has resigned the Taotsishly of Tientsin and been made Director of the new Railway Board as well as of the Hanyang Iran- works; but when Sheag will be able to carry out bis plan, and what means he will employ to carry it out, no one knows for certain. China's most vained adviser, which does not mean that the ignorant fossils at Peking take his advice, thinks that it would be wiser for her to begin by building short remoners- live lines, within her own reiaurces, than to set- to work on large schemes with borrowed money; but Peking has now thrown overboard the prin ciples of a quarter of a century ago, when it was thought derogatory to the Emperor's dignity to borrow money from the foreigner; and the ease with which the money to pay Japan has been raised is tempting the Government to listen favourably to the offers of accommodation which thrust upon it from all sides.-N.
