The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-07-22

in order to overcome The opposition of the
people. The first locomotive used was one
made at the works here and called 1.-THE
Rocket of China" Ii was patched up out
of old pieces of iron and machinery gath
cred from different parts of the country.
The boiler was that Of stationary engine
which had been imported years before
from England. The wheels were Ameri-
can and other parts of il were stray pieces
from different parts of Europe. 1t is kept
as curiosity, but it has carried freight
cars for more than 10000 miles and did
the whole work of the line for one year.
When the road was first built no freight
was carried, except the coal belonging TO
the company. in order to keep the carriers
in a good humor, but now all classes of
goods are taken, and the freight rates be-
tween Tein tsin and Tong Shan, distance
of nearly 100 miles, are 81 American cents
a picul of 1873 pounds for first-class freight
and half that for second-class freight.
In the building Of the new railroad,
however, there has been much less
trouble. The Chinese respect the edicts
road. If the Government at Peking
should decide to build roads all over China
there would be no trouble in their con-
struction, and the wages and labor are
such that they could be laid and equipped
more cheaply here than in any other part
of the world. Ordinary coolie labor costs
about American cents a day, ana the
farm wages in this part OF China are
about of our cents for ten hours work.
The brakemen on the trains get six silver
dollars, or not much more than three
American dollars a month as wages;
firamen receive from S. to $40 in
silver coin, and the engineers get
from to 80 American dollars per
month. The best engineers and the best
and these receive the highest wages. The
Cantonese engineers start In at 30 Sill
yer dollars, and they can rise in nine years
if they are good workmen. as high as $50
a month, but they cannot make more than
this. Northern men begin at $15 and can
rise to $50 month. These wages are for
sixty hours week, anything over that be-
ing paid for at the rate of Is cents an hour.
Conductors receive less than the engineers
and certain classes of wOrkmen receive two
Sundays off in each month as holidays. In
ordinary labor there are no holidays in
China, and contractors expect their hands
to work every day except week or so at
Chinese new year. In the works here there
are large number OF blacksmlths, car
penters and miners employed. The north
ern carpenters get from five to eight silver
dollars a month and Canton carpenters re-
ceive from twenty to thirty dollars
month. Blacksmiths get all the way from
i've to forty silver dollars month, and
the wages of miners are Is cents day.
At such wages skilled men can be gotten
by the thousands in any part OF CHINA,
and the building of railroads is merely a
matter of decision on the part of the Gov
eminent that they shall be built and OF
the little time and comparatively little
money required to make them. In my
next letter | shall show something of what
the Chinese have done in the building of
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-07-22

the Chinese had their way they would run
the freight and passenger cars in one train.
AS 1t is. there is an open car back of the
engine in which all sorts of baggage and
freight are carried. This is made in The
shape OF pen, with walls about four feet
high, and its contents are cattle, baggage
and freight.
These second-class cars were well filled.
They were of half-Engllsh, half American
pattern, each coach being as long as one Of
our passenger coaches, but the seats run
ming in the same way on the two sides Of
the car with an aisle between them. Each
car was divided by partitions running
across it into three sections and in some of
the cars one section was devoted to Chi
nese ladies, who sat with the toes OF their
club feet resting on the floor in the solitary
grandeur Of their paint, powder and gor
geous silk clothes. In the mems compart-
ment every seat was occupied. and
each passenger had his bed and bag
gage piled up about him. The seats
were plain wooden benches with straight
backs, and were very uncomfortable.
Many of the passengers had their shoes
off. and their gaudy pantalo0ns Of wadded
silk were tied about the ankles above their
socks of white wadded cotton. Some were
smoking longs emmed pipes, with bowls
no bigger than tbimble, and others slept
and snored. There was only one first-claSS
compartment. In this the seats were we'll
cushioned, and 1t was as comfortable as
any American passenger coach. The oc-
cupants were half dozen foreigners going
TO Taku. at the mouth OF the Peho River.
to take the boat for Shanghai, and a
couple Of richly dressed Chinese mer-
chants.
The stations all along the line are well
built. They are of one story, painted
white. and their platforms are of stone.
which run almost parallel with the bed of
the cars. and below which the tracks are
sunken. They are comfortably furnished
in Chinese style, with different rooms for
the different classes Of passengers, and the
people of every class gather about the sta
lions in the small towns of China just as
they do in an American village. There
are soldiers in their red and blue cotton
uniforms everywhere. There are swell
DaDdarns, with servants bearing their
official cap., with the feathers of rank
sticking out at their backs. There are
coolies carrying great loads on their Shout
ders, and half-naked men and altogether
naked children. who stand and look at us,
the foreign devils. in open-mouthed Won
der. Now and then they crowd US
too closely. when the guard makes assault

RAILROADING IN CHINA.
The Passenger Tariff Is the Cheapest in the World
Rules of the Road.

Tone SHAN, North China.-The i'm
perial railroad mas just been completed TO
the borders Of Manchuria, and regular
trains were put on last week between
Tien-Tsin and Shan Hi Kwan. This last
city is on the boundary between Man
chura and China where the Chinese wall
iuts down into the sea, and Yen can now
90 to the great wall by train. An army of
laborers is at work pushing the road
further toward the north, and when it is
completed it will be about 800 miles long
and will almost reach the Russian
Siberian frontier. 1t will probably at
some time connect with the great trans
Siberian railroad. which is now being
built from Vladivostock TO st. Peters burg,
and the trip from here to Berlin and Paris
will be made by land. For six years the
trains have been running regularly be-
tween here and Tien-Tsin, a distance of
ninety-nine miles. and this new strip of
road, which has now been opened to
traffic, is OF nearly the same length.
At Tien-Tsin, which, you know, is LII
Hung Changes capital, there are hundreds
