The building by the Amir of Bokhara of a railway line connecting the capital of his country, "Old Bokhara," with a station of the Russian Central Asiatic Railway, will be completed ere the close of the current year, when it is to be opened for general traffic. But as the Bokhara Government did not provide its railway line with rolling-stock, the exploitation of the line will be carried on by the Russian Central Asiatic Railway, which will recompense itself from the proceeds it will receive for carrying passengers and freight on the Bokhara line; so that the Bokhara Government will receive only the net profits remaining from the proceeds after the Central Railway shall have deducted its cost of running trains on the line in question.
30th November.
