At the present time there is'only.
one RAILROAD in China, which was built
by LII Hung Chang, and is under tho
control of the government. The
trouble now threatening between
England and Russia has arisen
through the Reputation by China of q
contract with the Hong Kong and
Shanghai Bank to build road from
Tientsin via Shan-Hai-kwon to New
Chwang. The bank is owned almost
entirely by English capitalists aal-
though few Americans hold stock in in
it. The proposed new road was m m,
important part of the railroad system
under development in China ., =
The Empress Dowager of China

Tsung:li- -Yamen accused Ii Hung
Chang of betraylngf CHINA to hussla,
and it is said that Ii Hung Chang has
threatened to. demand the recall Of Sir
Claude. Macdonald.
Ii Hung Chang is thus once more
in power, acting as Chancellor directly
under the Empress Dowager. Thiswas
brought about through the weakness
of the Emperor. who is recognized as
unfit to deal with large matters of
state. The Empress Dewager;s who
is very able woman, convinced him
that he must retire Weng, who for
several years had been the head md
front of the party opposed to oil for

Foreigners and the Progressive
party of Chinese are delighted.a.-No

THE ROUGH RIDERS

From where the chaparrals uplift
Der Texan sea of grass;
From Arizona canoned rift,
And Colorado pass;
From Boston elm and classic shade,
And Gotham masque and ball,
We've gathered, by one motive swayed-
Rough Riders are we all.
We ken the ways Of man a-d beast
We've faced the prairie Death,
We've watched the buzzards at their feast,
We've felt the Norther's breath;
We know the realms Of bellies and beaux
And Fashions gay command
Our view lies from Delmonico'S
Clear to the Rio Grande.

But now, unchecked, tho cattle whirl
In headlong, wild stampede;
And Beauty's banner may unfurl
In vain. We give no heed.
We've changed the ranch and city charms
For Cuban thatch and palm.
The jarring roll OF hostile arms
Our pean is and psalm.
In strangely differing cline and place
Our names and paths appear.
For many college knows our face,
And many branded steer.
But, 10 one blood you find US, when
There sounds Columbia's call.
We spring to answer 1t. like men
Rough Riders are VIC all.
