Air Mails for China

Shanghai and Peking to be Linked Up Peking, Nov. 26.

The official Gazette publishes a Cabinet. order, sanctioning the inauguration of an air service between Peking and Shanghai ith intermediate stations at Tsinan, Heuchow and Nanking, and also 80 landing grounds.

It is intended that for the first six months the service shall only carry mails, and after that, when public confidence has been secured, to branch out into carrying passenger and goods traffic. It is expected that the revenue will exceed the monthly expenditure of $40,000 when the service is fully established.

The arrangements are in the capable hands of Chen Hung and Col-oriel Holt. The Chiaotungpu h approved of the scheme.—Reuter.
