NO EMPLOYMENT IN CHINA.
American Railway Men Warned ia
Keep Away.


WASHINGTON, Dec. ls.-The first re-
port to the state department from United
States Consul General Goodnow. at Shang
hal, contains q warning TO American rail-
road men not TO so to China for employ
ment- Says he:
THE American only invites starvation
who comes here without definite con-
tract Of employment with some reputable
firm, made before he leaves America I
must advise United States railway en-
ployes that there is az present no market
for their labor in China, and should more
roads be constructed there will be a mar
ket only IL these roads ara built by Ameri-
cans"
The consul general says he has had many
Inquiries from American railway men as
to the chance for employment In China, so
he describes the small Chinese railroads
instead to show the hopelessness of look
Ing in that direction for work. There are
only TWO in operation, with a total mileage
OF 293ia miles. They employ only twenty
seven engineers. The operatives are prac-
tlcally all Chinese and foreigner cannot
compete with them. The highest salaried
natives arc the telegraph operators at $40
per month. Engineers get $40 to $50. and
train hands and trackmen Sc to $40 per
month. All OF this is in. Mexican silver.
worth A cents in gold on the dollar. The
roads are paying Is per cent. dividends.
Another road is under construction from
Shanghai TO Woo Sung. fourteen miles.
and Chinese are doing all of the work:
and on December IS, the first sod was
turned on the projected road from Hankow
to Picking. the completion OF which de-
ponds upon the success Of the Belgian
syndicate in floating It's loan.
Mr.. Goodnow recounts the ambitions
scheme OF Director Sheng. of the Imperial
railways. to create vast system of rail-
ways in Central China, and encloses
map showing the projects. He says
Sheng's plan is TO build these roads as
money can be borrowed outside Of China.
II proposes to couple with the railway
loans government loan OF $50 900. 0O0 to
pay the balance OF the Japanese war in
demnity. In this way the option OF build
Ing the Chinese roads would be held out
TO the parties taking the government loan,
and the support OF foreign government
for the government loan would be secured
by allowing the syndicate to furnish all
the material and skilled labor for the
railroads. Mr.. Goodnow points out that
under these conditions there will be no
market for American railway material or
labor unless Americans furnish the money
TO build the railways.

Fastest time-1S94, 81 :05; 1895, 2S; 1896
81: :01.
The time made by the ten men in the
Bay City Cub was 4 hours 40 minutes, 80
seconds. which is minutes and SO Sec
onds faster tnan the time of last years
race.
This makes the third successive year
that the Bay Citys nave won the great
relay race, and thereby they become en-
titled to the possession for all time of the
Varney relay trophy. an elegant silver
cup.' The only other clun that ever won
it was the Garden City Cyclers of san
Jo-e the first time the relay was run in
1894.
In the packet which each rider carried
was en- closed a letter from Mayor Phelan
of this City to Hon. Joseph Forde rer.
president of the Board OF Trustees OF the
city OF Alameda, explaining the purpose
OF the race. kenna delivered his packet
to Mr.. Forderer, who was present at the
finish. Immediately upon his arrival.
The many intricate details and arrange
ments for the race were admirably hand
led by the road-racing and records commit
tee OF the California Associated Cycling
Clubs, cons sisIine of Charles Albert Adams.

regularly appointed board OF timers,
judges, scorers. etc., OF the association
officiated at the start and finish, and on
each relay these officials were furnished d
by the various clubs com peting. one from
each club.
The i'm IMPRESSION is general that the best
team won the big race. Not only were
the men the fastest riders but by atten-
tion to little details the clubs officers had
everything so we'll arranged that for them
TO lose the race by ordinary accidents,
such as punctures or broken wheels, was
almost impossible. For instance on the
first relay the Bay Ciiys had twenty ex-
ira men stationed half a mile apart with
an extra wheel ready for Davidson if he
needed it. And the value of this seryic g
is shown when it is said that Davidso
had to change weels five times. The same
twenty mon, after the first relay was run,
crossed the bay and spread themselves out
over the ninth and tenth relays, ready to
lend aid to Kraft or Kenna If necessary.
Out of 1856 members which the Bay City
Club has, 142 had some actual duty to
perform on the day of the race. and every
last one of them did what ne was told to
