A CHINESE RAILWAY.

about Ninety Mllcs Now In operate ID

There is now in operation in China
between eighty and ninety miles OF
railroad. lying between the Kai-Pina
collieries and Tien-Tsin. the ncares,
port to Pekin. This line was com.
mcnced in 1851. to carry coal from the
mines for distance of seven miles to
the head OF a canal, which, for topo-
graphical reasons could not be brought
nearer. Permission to build it had been
asked of the authorities In vain several
years before. and was only finally Sc
cured by the declaration of the directors
OF the company that they must stop min.
ing unless they obtained this means OF
transportation. Then leave was grant
ed Tor the construction o. tramway
on tho condition that only horses or
mules should DO used as motive power.

The principal objection of the govern

foreigners who would thus obtain

made. showing that this could be avoided,

twenty-three miles were added to the
