cHINA,S FIRST RAILRoAD.
Opening of the China, mentsin and Kafping
Railway by Ii Hung Chang.
North China, Daily News.

Opening OF the China, T1entsln and Kaiping
Railway by Ii Hung Chang.
North China. Daily News.
This railway, the first built by the
Chinese government, and as yet the only
one, was opened last week by H. E. Lii
Hung Chang; this was the official open
ing, but the line has been worked for a
considerable time on its Tang-shan
branch, and, within the last month or
two regular trains have been running
upon both the Tientsin- and Tang -shan
branches.
The whole mileage is eighty-six and
half miles, with ten miles of siding, or
twenty eight miles from Tientsin to
Tong-ku, which lies on the bank of the
Peiho opposite Taku, and fffty-eight and
q half miles from Tong-ku to Tang-shan
near the city of Kaiping. The rails are
bull headed f1ange fastened with claw
spikes to sleepers; these last are not creo-
sOted as is the case at home; it is found
that the wood, stands as well in its natu-
raj state as creosoted timber would, the
life of a sleeper here being quite equal to
that of those used on home lines.
The points are worked with the simple
old fashioned hand switch, complicated
system of interloekiIlg being. quite I'M
necessary, and indeed, quite unsuited for
use by Chinese employees; the signaling
is equally primitive, a red and white
hand flag completing the equipment of
signal man. All the carriages and trucks
are connected by American spring buffers
and claw couplers, and the whole makes
long more or less imposing train.
The whole journey of about 100 miles
is completed in five and half hours.
The fares are very reasonable, 81 SO
covering the expense of firSt-class ac-
cOmmodation. The line is evidently very
popular, and large numbers of Chinese
travel by it daily.

will hear some good news in regard to
railroads.
Only eight counties in Kansas are now
without railroads. Five Of them are in
the extreme southwestern part of the
state.
-
At the close of 1888 the railway mileage
of the state of Texas was S2lI, and it
stands fourth in the list OF the American
states. Illinois is first, with 99lI miles;
Kansas second, with 87I6 miles; Iowa
third, with 1886 miles, and then Texas
In ten years this state has built more
miles of railroad than any other state in
the Union By the close of 1883 Texas
VIII be at least third ia the list, and win
probably be second only to Illinois.
Something definite is promised during
the present week about a railroad to the
northwest. The gentlemen who have the
matter in hand wa not authorize any
statement to be made at this time
Colonel r. E. Maddox said last night
that he had information to the effect
that a corps Of engineers was at work To-
eating line. Captain NJ. 3 Lloyd saws
he now has more hope of a road being
built to the northwest than he has had at
any previous time.
The. Railway Age Says: Every new
railway that comes into existence in
creases the number of railway employees
at the average probably of five men to
the mile. Hence the 700 miles which
were built in 1872 have called about SO -
600 new men into the service
This is an encouraging fact for
11rr~.av 4,
entering the railway profession to bear in
mind, and it is also encouraging to those
who are seeking promotion to remember
that the number of officials of all ranks
must continue to increase. At present
the railway officers and men ofthe United
States form an army not far from 7S5, -
600 strong, and in half a dozen years or
so the number VIII probably be swelled to
at least I ZOO 600.
