PEkIN & HANkow.
a Very Important Railroad Project
For China.

A Very Important Railroad Probe ct
For China.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 14-Col. NJ.
R. Jeffries, an American railway engin-
eer, who has an agreement with the con-
cessionaries by which he is to have the
contract for building the Pekin & Han
kow railroad, provided he secures sub
scriptions in this country or in Europe
to the amount of 100000 taels (about
$500, coo in Mexican money!, is in this
city. There are in China at present but
two short railroads, one of $50 miles,
and the other of 60 miles. In January,
Hsu Yn Tsiang, mayor of Kuang Tung
was given by Prince Kung. superintend-
ent of military affairs permission under
authority of the emperor to construct
a railroad from Pekin north to Hankow,
a distance of $50 miles. The right is also
granted to build from Pekin south to
Canton, a distance of 600 miles, upon
completion of the Hankow road.
One of the conditions is that not less
than two-thirds of the capital necessary,
which will amount to about 30,000,0gO taels,
must be subscribed by Chinese.
Colonel JefferdS, who was in China al
the time. secured the agreement from
Hsu, which if he carries out his terms,
will give him the contract for building
the road. He agreed to come to Cali
fornia and induce the Chinese merchants
