GAGE THROWN DOWN.
Russia Will Build Railroad Despite
Chfna's Protests.

Pekin, May 25.--The Russian minister
here, Nj. de Giers has notified the Chinese
'oreign office that Russia Is unable to
accept the Chinese refusal of railroad
concession, and that she will send en-
gineers forthwith to survey line con-
Meeting the Russian Manchurian line
with Pekin.
The Chinese foreign office, replying to
the first request of NJ. de Giers, stated
that the government was unable to ac-
oede to the Russian demand for new
railway concession connecting Pekin
with Russia's present system in Man
churia. Not since the taking of Port
Arthur by Russia have the Chinese been
SO agitated as over this demand.
Whether NJ. de Giers named a specific
route is not yet ascertainable, some Of
ficials stating that only preliminary
notice was given by Russia. and others
that she is asking for line direct from
Pekin to Shanhaikwan.
The concession asked for would ruin
the existing northern railways, in which
British capital to the amount of $11 ,500,
600 is invested, but there seems to be no
alternative route without interfering
with plans for railway extension which
the Chinese themselves have in mind.
1t is believed that Russia's action in
this matter is intended to demonstrate
to the world that the recent convention
with Great Britain respecting spheres of
interest in China, which was notified to
the Chinese government almost immedi-
ately before this latest concession was
demanded, has not fettered the action of
Russia at the court of Pekin, and also
to strengthen Russia's prestige with the
Chinese, which was unfavorably affected
by her withdrawal of her late protest
respecting the northern railways.
A glance at a railroad map of China
which shows the railroads built, build
ing or surveyed in the middle kingdom,
will indicate why Russia desires to reach
Pekn from her TransS Siberian railway
by line of her own. At tpresent she has
under rapid construction branch which
leaves the main line somewhat to the
northwest of kirin and then passes
southwest of it through Chinese Man
churia to Talienwan and Port Arthur.
This branch road is expected to connect
at Mukden with the extension of the
Tientsin railway which is already com
rleted to Shanhaikwan. and is being
rapidly pushed toward Newchwang.
The gauge of this road, as of all rail-
ways to be built in China, is 4 feet Sh
inches. whereas the Russian Manchurian
road has gauge of five feet. The Shan
haikwar road is under Chinese control,
protection and administration, and, un
der the recent agreement between Russia

by Accompanied by his best girl he
met the hostess at the door, and after
the usual salutations asked after the
new baby's health. The lady, who
was quite deaf and suffering with the
grip, thought he was asking about
her cold, and told him that though
she usually had one every winter, this
was the worst one she ever had; it
kept her awake at night, and con-
fined her to her bed. Then, noticing
that the scribe was getting quite pale
and nervous, she said that she could
tell by his looks that he was going to
have one just like hers, and asked
him to go in and sit down. The paper
was out as usual the next week. but
the local editor has quit ENDURING

"sCRIBNER,so FOR sEPTEMBER.

September is the month for fishing
and outdoor sports, and is the begin
ming of the hunting season in Canada
and in Maine. Scribner's for Septem-
Der has number of articles with an
outdoor flavor to them. 1t opens with
an account by Frederick Irland of
what he calls "the finest canoeing
country in the world" He made a
five hundred mile journey from Mat
tawa to the headwaters of the Ottawa
and Gatineau Rivers, through a
region Astounding in fish and moose.
1t has been for centuries and is now
the home of the Algonquin Indian.
The region through which Mr.. Irland
travelled with Algonquins for guides
is the best sportsman s haunt left in
America. Much of the wilderness is
as yet uncharted. The illustrations
are made from the authors abundant
photographs. He will be remembered
as the author of two former sporting
articles in Scribner's, one on New
Brunswick and the other on the Min
