A PROPOSED RAILWAY.
OUTCRY FROM GERMANY,
(Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock.)
LONDON, April 30. In accordance with Sir Edward Grey's forecast in the House of Commons on March Bth and the rescript read by Lord Morley in the House of Lords on March 22nd, Sir Edward Grey has appealed to the Persian Government for the option to construct a railway from Khartoum Inlet through Ahwaz and Sinister to Khoramabad, in the region which Britain and Russia decided upon as the neutral zone. The scheme is to enable British goods for Persia, instead of entering Turkish territory, to go direct to Khormusa, thence along the British line linked with Russia's projected Khanikan-Teheran railway. BERLIN, April 30. The Khormusa scheme has led to a great outcry from the Press. The lleichsbote says:—"With the honey of peace upon her lips, Britain's unswerving purpose is to bar Ger many's path and everywhere frustrate her successes. Here we have again material for a grave conflict with Britain."
