CHINA's NEW RAILROAD BLOCKED
APowerful Organization of Mobiles De.
velOps q Successful Opposition.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
TIEN-TsIN, Feb. at is now certain that the
fifth prince, the oldest surviving brother of the
Emperor Tao Kwang and uncle of the present
Emperor Kwang Hsu, has formed a com ina
ton with the emperor's tutors and the leading
men of the six boards Of government, and has
succeeded in blocking all plans for the extern
sion of the Tien-tsin-Kaiping railroad toward
Peking. The throne has been forced to with
draw its sanction for the extension, and to for
bid all further proceedings on the part of the
company. The proposals recently sent in for
the rails and cross ties have been rejected
and the loan offered by the Hong Kong
and Shanghai bank has been, or soon will be,
cancelled
The combination against the progressive
movement has more strength. organization,
ana responsibility than anything of the sort
seen IN China for many years. 1t was organ
lzed by one of the ablest and most courageous
Chinese officials, belonging to several OF the
great boards, and it controls the voting power
OF them all, with strong contingent of men of
rank, Several of them very near the throne.
The movement against the railway and its
extension was primarily directed against the
Nlceroy Ii, who was recently stricken with
paralysis, but is now thought to be recovering.
lie Will, OF course, fight vigorously against the
reactionary measures of the government. for
II successful they are necessarily death blow
to all that remains of his policy and prestige.
He is said to be somewhat encouraged by the
success OF the mining operations carried on by
Prof. Church in Mongolia, and will make des-
perate struggle to vindicate the wisdom OF the
advice he has given to the government in re-
gard to railways as necessary to the defense of
the country, as well as to the development of
its resources.
1t has also become known that the directors
OF the railway company had been compelled to
bind themselves to avoid all competition with
boat traffic on the Pei-ho and with cart traffic
on the highway between Tien-tsin and Picking.
Under these circumstances the road, if COM
pleted, would have had hard times for few
years; and it is not strange that it was un-
able in face of such restrictions to secure
single dollars subscription to its capital stock
from the Chinese merchants and gentry.
1t is now conceded here that railroad build
ing is at an end in China for the present. and
that the conservatives have gained complete
control of the young emperor and his surround
ings. This must prove serious blow to his
father, the seventh prince, and also to the late
empress regent, both of whom had given aid
and countenance to the introduction OF the rail-
road as well to other progre ssive measures
recommended by the Viceroy Lii.
