A RUSSIAN MOVE.

Mr D. D. Pakotilo, Co-manager "of the.. Russo-Chinese Bank in China and Japas, bas presented a petition to the Chinese Pienipoten taries praying toe the sole rights for the con- straction of a railway line from Peking to Kalgan, a distance of some 130 miles. It is believed that even if the petition, be granted immediately, the line will not be commenced this year, but that the Russians are anxious to get ahead of the British in obtaining this im- portant concession.

JAPANESE · ENTERPRISE.

Since the Boxer trouble the number of Japanese residents in Tientsin has increased. by leaps and bounds to about 2,500 Mr. Nishimara, the proprietor of the. Tientsin Daily News, a Chinese paper, is prepar ing to publish a Japanese weekly paper in Tientsin. The first issue is to appear on February 1st. Mr. Nishimara is a good Chinese as well as "Japanese scholar and will edit the paper himself, It's said that he will soon start an English paper, but as he does not understand much of the language, is desirous of engaging Mr. Yuen Tung Kwang, a well-educated Chinese, as editor.

THE RAILWAYS.

H.E. Hu Yu Fen, the Assistant Director of the Northern Railways, had an interview with Sir E. Satów, the British Minister, a few days ago, and asked him when the railways would be handed over to the control of the Chinese Administration. To this Sir E. Satow replied that Yuan Shih-kai was not considered to be a suitable man for the position of Director General of the Northern Railways and that the line could not be returned to China until another man had been appointed...

:

THE HEIR APPARENT QUESTION. Po Chun, the disinherited Heir Apparent, has arrived at Peking from Kai-leng-fu and the Empress Dowager has commanded that he be looked after by his uncle Tsai Ying.

It was previously announced that Her Majesty would appoint Pu Lun as the new Heir Apparent. It has transpired, however, that he has neither ability nor virtue, and the Empress Dowager has therefore, altered her decision.

NOTES FROM NATIVE SOURCES. A Tientsin native correspondent rends us

the following notes, dated 25th ulto:-

THE RENDITION OF TIENTSIN.

-

It is said that the British Minister, Sir Satow, refuses to discuss the question of the handing back of Tientsin Native City a long as Jung Lu, the notorious Boxer leader, holds

but there is no mistaking the uneasy feeling with which these most intimately concerned regard the future. Roughly it may be said that the boom was due to the fact that the Asiatic came generally to recognise what is meant by the uneated increment of town land, but did not so readily recognise that the limit of the ad dition to the real value of the land is perfectly' Jefinite. In Singapore, for example, the Alia ic has the land sales all to himself; the European is waiting till values find their. natural level ingnin, as they will by and will -bye. The

"Australian" people, it be remembɩred, had their rude awakening. some years ago; the land slumped and took the Banks with it in ons wild ruin,--and the Banks at least have laid that lesson to heart. The bistory of the boon in Bangkok is pretty well-known. It was created by the belief that the area from Oriental Avenue to the British ↑ Legation would be the centre of a Municipality, within which the value of 'land-would go up enormously.
