The loss of the Siamese Navy transport Chamroen proves to be even ş' mçrə serions matter than has been general y supposed, says the Bangkok Times: It was known that the officers and crew on board numbered 43 but we are informed that 39 other persons were being There brought to Bangkok from Singora. seems to be little doubt now that the whole 1.12 persons have perished. According to a
s St. Petersburg tele.ram passenger and goods traffic from Russia on the Manchurian Railway will be op ned as fer as Port Arthur in the coming autumn. Pavlovski, an eminent engineer, is in St. Petersburg to advise as to the cost of completing the line, which is expected to reach the total of seven millions sterling. The whole lipe will be finished by 1905" (the same telegram says) and thenceforward daily express trains will run from Moscow to Irkutsk, reducing the journey from eight days to five. The lipe round Lake Baikal will be ready at the same time, and the journey from London to Port Arthur will then be done in elevén days.
