Peking, Sept. 28.
The French Legation emphasizes that it is unofficially concerned in the future of the Chinese Eastern Railway, as the outcome of the recent severance of relations with the Russian Legation. Up to the present, it affirms, nothing has occurred to show the policy of the former foreign Allied and Associated Powers affected by that event, far as the Chinese Eastern Railway is concerned.
It, appears, however, that the Asiatic Bank, which was nally established as the financial instrument of the Chinese Eastern Railway, presented a for-lula to the Chiaotungpu, whereby the bank could continue to act in the above capacity. This communication is described as a purely business matter.—Reuter.
