RAILWAY BUILDING IN CHINA
Foreign Influences Obstructine

Foreign Influences Obstructtng
American Concessionaires.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Secretarv
Hay received a call to-day from w.
Barclay Parsons, the engineer repre-
senting the American Railway conces-
sionaires controlling the projected
railroad from Canton to Hankow,
China Mr.. Parsons explained at some
length to the Secretary the obstacles
in carrying out. the concession. The
Chinese Government is ostensibly held
to be obstructing the concessionaires,
but behind that movement, and urging
it unwillingly on it's course, are for
eign influences. according to Mr.. Par
sons, which are striving to secure for
themselves this concession
Mr.. Parsons represented that an Eng
lish company holding concessions for a
line from Canton to Kow Loon was
prepared to unite interests with the
American corporation and effect a COM
binaton to maintain themselves
against these foreign influences. The
British Government would naturally
look after the interests of its subjects,
and the American corporation asks
Secretary Hay to take similar action
to require the Chinese Government to
permit the execution of the conces-
sion.
Secretary Hay promised to lay the
matter before the President.
The American Minister in Pekin has
been instructed to use his good offices
in all proper ways in behalf of the
American company, and to prevent in
jury to it's interests
There is no foundation for the report
that this action is taken in concur
renee with that of the British Govern
ment. There has been no cemmunica-
ton between the Governments in re-
gard to the matter, and no joint action
has been asked for by the American
company, and none has been recon-
mended.
The Chinese Minister, Mr.. Fang, stat
Led to-day that he has not been ad-
Eised in an official manner of the com
bination between the American and
British companies having certain con-
cessions in China, or of any appeal to
the respective Governments, and he did
not care to discuss the effect of the
significance of such moves until he had
learned of them in an official manner.

malt house on the eighth of last Sep
TENDER, The suiti has been contem-
plated for some time but the papers
were not filed until Thursday evening.
The youngsplaintiff sdemands the sum
of twenty thousand dollars.
The circumstances under which the
suit is filed ares rather peculiar and
some very hard points Of law will be
brought up when the case comes to
trial at the approaching term of the
court.
The accident which Ehas resulted in
a demand for so heavy damages occur
red on Sept. s, 1898. Young Junker
with number of companions had been
playing along Chicago street and
finding the door of. what is known as
the old elevator open the two children
went in and watched the machinery in
operation. While they were running
around the elevator young Junker
tripped his foot and fell into grain
cOnveyOr which was used for carrying
grain from one floor of sthe elevator to
the others. The child narrOwl y escaped
being instantly killed, and when he
was finally picked up he was mangled
in horrible manner. The little fellow
was taken home and fingered between
life and death but finally recovered.
It was necessary to amputate the leg
and as result of this the child was
manned for life.
The complaint is brought by James
C. Junker, father of the boy, who was
appointed his guardian for this pur-
pose.
The complaint alleges personal neg
ligence on the part of the defendant,
claiming that they allowed the hoy to
come into the elevator and endanger
his life without making any protests
against such an action and therefore
they are liable for the damages he
received.
A call was made at the Office of the
Mailing company but as none of the
officials of the company were in the
city it was impossible to learn what
course the defendants will take in the
action as they have filed no answer to
the complaint. The damages are the
largest ever demanded in a personal
damage suit in the county and the case
is attracting considerable attention.
