At the present time there is only
one railroad In China. which was built
by Ii Hung Chang and is under the
control of the government. The
trouble now threatening between Eng
land and Russia has arisen through
the reputation by China Of a contract
with the Hongkong and Shanghai
bank to build road from Tientsin via
Shan -Hai-Kwon to New-Chwang. The
bank is owned almost entirely by
English capitalists. although a few
Americans hold stock in it. The pro-
posed new road was an important
part of the railroad system under de-
yelopment in China. At its northern
terminal it was to have connected with
the Manchurian road, which formed
the connecting link with the great
transsiberian route. On the south it
would have tapped, through Tientsin
and the road reaching to the Yang
tse river, the rich valley which is
China's chief source OF agricultural
wealth. The proposed road, which the
Hongkong and Shanghai bank held
the contract to build, ran through the
Russian sphere of influence. Con-
sequently Russia brought great infiu-
ence to bear upon the Chinese govern
ment to prevent the carrying out of
the terms Of the contract.
