§ MR. WEIR () Ross and CromartyI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is yet in a position to say when the new railway from Jessletown to the interior of British North Borneo will be completed and open for traffic.
§ LORD CRANBORNEThe railway is still twelve miles short of its interior terminus. The whole line (110 miles) should be open for traffic by the end of next year. At present ninety-five miles are open to traffic.
