The Aeue FTeie ITeSSe OF Vienna states that the
great Austrian capitalists and contractors are now

point with Austria will now be Sissek and not Brod
as formerly. Here the junction with the southern
line will be effected, and by this means the route
from Trieste to Fiume, via Northern Italy to Southern
France, will be accomplished. In the other drec-
tion the State Railway from Gros Kikanda TO Bel
grade will be constructed and thence be connected
with the Servan Railway.
BY "harbors" must here be meant "dOcksn or
'quays," as COnstantinople 1t need hardly he said,
possesses one Of the finest natural harboRs In the
world.
