Peking, Jan. 6.
Messrs. Dunn, Fisher & Ca', have arranged to take up the balance—about $3,000,000—of the Peking-Hankow Railway (Redemption) Loan on terms similar to those in connexion with the previous issue.
The Waiwupu states that the Chinese Government accepts full liability and responsibility for these bonds, and points out that this is a domestic issue, not a foreign loan.
It is understood that another issue, without (hypothecation of) railway profits, is probable.—Qur Own Correspondent.
