THE DELAGOA BAY RAILWAY.
Agreement Reached in Regard to
Through Traffic.

The State Department has been inform
ed by United States Consul Hollis at
Lourenco Marquee that the governor gen.
eral Of Mozambique and the British mill
tary authorities have finally arrived at an
understanding in regard to through traffic
over the Portuguese and Transvaal Sec
tions Of the Delagoa Bay railroad and he
ircloses the text Of the agreement.
The consul states that the director OF the
Portuguese railroad informs him that thir-
teen cars. Of ten tons capacity each, will
constitute a train. This means. says MI.
Hollis that the LourencO Marquee mer-
chants will be allowed to ship each day
100 tons Of merchandise by rail to the
TransyaaL The consul says the opening
of the road will be a benefit to Lourenco
Marquez.
The agreement recites that the railway
tariffs and classification Of goods on the
Delagoa Bay line are to be the same AZ
before the war, subject to q prOporttonat6
modification in case the railways from tho
Cape and Natal ports are amended. Tho
transport Of civil merchandise and goods
on the railway from LourencO Marques In
to the Transvaal was to commence fmme-
diately, nothing less than a full train be-
ing allowed for this purpose. Goods In
transit over the DelagOa Bay line are to
be treated in the Transvaal custom house
similarly to goods in transit from Durham
and other coast ports. The Portuguese
treaty with the Transvaal of 1875 will still
remain In force. except In the case or AZ
cohol.
Mr.. Hollis says that the compensating
concession made by the Portuguese au.
thorities Is their permission to the Trans.
vaal to import native labor for the mines
from the province of Mozambique.

TO the United States, has received many in
quiries recently about the rumored inten-
ton OF the Shah OF Persia to be present at

Gen. Khan said:
According to international etiquette no

coronation Of another sovereign. and for
that reason, IL for no other. his majesty
the shah. will not go to London. His high
. ness. the Prince Moayedes-Saltaneh,
cousin OF the shah, was designated some
time ago to represent-his majesty at the
coronation of Edward VII. as II is the GUS
tom In Persia to send prince Of imperial
blood to represent the crown at the coro-
nation of foreign sovereigns 1t is probable
that certain European papers having learn
ed that his majesty. the shah. has pro-
have thought that this voyage will take
him to London. The voyage In question.
which Is still a prospect only. * made. will
have as Its purpose new cure at Contrex-
Vile, where two years ago his majesty
took first cure, which did him a great
deal of good"
Are you going to be also this time of
the suite Of his majesty during his voyage
in Europe" the minister was asked
Il do not think So" replied Gen. Khan
because the ministers occupying posts In
foreign countries do not generally join the
shah's suite. but IL his majesty goes to
Europe. l shall go to greet him on his ar
rival In the watering place"
