Chinese Superstition and Railroads.

The truth about Chinese railroads,

that this party has taken advantage Of

peror a4d his chief councillors, and
that this accidental fire has been inter-

order sanctiouing the building of rail-
roads. The superstition inherent in
the Chinese character has thus been
used shrewdly by the conservative
leaders to further their purposes.
