by the Canadian Pacific Railway, which is
also operating the routes via Wrangel and

the trust. According to the es : ees given
at the time the will VS. fled me real es-
tate was worth but $4,000 = 4 the personal
estate $6,SOO,0O0. In the invt - cry of to-day
the conservative policy of the executors is
further borne out and on the property
valued the figures are such as to leave lit
tie chance for depreciation.

Her tone towards England has been adopt
ed approaching on open fiattery. Prince
Bismarcks saying is recalled, that it would
be foolishness to regard the English as fools
in business matters. The papers are begin
ming to recognize that financial influence is
far better than the occupation of a Chinese
bay. While there is no more probability
than hitherto that the government would
be willing to guarantee loan, the papers
certainly encourage German houses to ne
gotiate with English firms for joint issue
loan.
The East Asiatlc Correspondence, jour-
nal credited with intimate relations with
the Chinese embassy, announces that after
the failure of Ii Hung Chang China placed
the loan negotiations in the hands of Sir
Robert Hart, director of the Chinese inn
periaI maritime customs, whose efforts to
place loan In London, secured by the salt
monopoly, offer every promise of being sue
