Show An Important Railway. The important strategic railway connecting con-necting Tien-tsin with Shan-hai-Kwan, the town at the eastern foot of the great wall, where it runs down to the gulf of Liutong, is now completed, and the new Chinese minister to London traveled by it last Avet-k. He was thereby enabled to reach the sea and get a steamer for Shanghai instead of having to remain the winter in Tien-tsin or be carried down by chair nearly a thousand miles overland, Tien-tsin being frozen up from December until March.
