l. Royal Navy in the speech which he delivered before the
Chamber OF Commerce yesterday, brought out dom
view, although he did not express it exact words
and that that the time not far distant when America
and England would have to unite to protect their mutual
interests in China and throughout the world and that to-
gether they would have call halt TO Russia and cry
Hands off of that which is ours He also inmated that
in his opinion the time would when America and
England would form least trade alliance if not of
closer The former, he believed, bound to
suit because of the mutual trading interests of the two
nations.

A present the only railroad system in
China consists Of the $50 miles of road
reports the Treasury Bureau of Stats
tics, which connects Tien-Tsin. the port
Of Picking with the capital, and extends
southwesterly to Poa-Ting, the capital
Of the province of that name, whence
it is the intention to build lines into the
coal and iron regions of the interior,
which are within easy reach. This
however, is only one important link i'm
the projected network of Chinese rail-
roads. A military and political rather
than an Immediately commercial value,
so far as the rest of the world is at
present concerned, attaches to the rail-
road which the Russian Government is
constructing through Manchuria, and
which will give the Trans-Siberian
Railroad of the latter power ice-free
termini at Port Arthur and Talienwan.
II is to cOunteraCt, in part, the Russian
influence that a concession has been OBJ
tanned by British interests for the con-
struCtion of line from Shan-hai-kwan,
on the Tien-Tsin Picking road. to New
chwang, a treaty port, where British
and American commerce already have
| a footing, although it remains to be
seen whether the recent Anglo Russian
| agreement will not result in interior
ence with the progress of this enter
prise.
The other important concessions for
| Chinese railroads include a line under
British and German auspices from
Tien-Tsin to Shanghai, 700 miles in
| length, which passing through the Ger
man sphere of influence in middle Chi
| ma, will connect with roads from Ger
many's port at KiaoChau running east
wardly into the coal and iron regions of
the province of Shantung. A Belgian
| concession has been granted for road
$50 miles long from Picking to Hankow,

deep water navigation on the Yang-tse
or Yellow river. Another British con-
cession is for a line extending south
ward from Shanghai to Ningpo and
Hangchow, and finally to the British
territory recently acquired on the main
land opposite Hongkong, where it will
connect with a short British line, now
under construction, leading to Canton
the southern commercial center of Chi
ma. British capital is also engaged in
the construction of a short line west
ward from Shanghai to Soochoo and
Nankin. The direct American interest
Fin Chinese railroad concessions centers
in a concession granted last year tC
New York capitalists for the construc-
ton of 600 miles of road, connecting
Canton with Hankow, for which actlv,
surveys are now being prosecuted. IT
the south of China the French propose
several lines which will bring their pos
sessions into connection with the prov
inces of Yunnan, and ultimately witt
Canton. Another road under British
auspices is to lead from Canton anC
Hongkong to Chingtoo, the capital o
the province of Szechuen, probably tn
most populous and productive portion
of China, and opens up an importan
region upon the upper section of tn

is HE A WIZARD?
Yarn About Central African
Trance Traveller.

Here is a yarn that has beer picked
M by the Society For Psychical Re
search. Dr. r. W Felkin. who had ac-
companied Emin Pasha on tour
through Uganda and adjacent territory
is responsible for it. He says that some
time last year his party had got back
TO Lado. about 1000 miles south Of
Kbartum, and that he had been with
out letters from Europe for year
Naturally he was impatient for tidings
In that part Of Africa he had often
come across wizards, who pretended to
transform themselves into lions or other
animals at night and to travel immense
distances in this guise. They also assert
that they acquire information at sucn
times about stolen cattle and other lost
property. DR.. Felkin says that, al
though he has no explanation to offer
in regard 20 these alleged feats he had
= chance 10 verify one of their stories.
One morning after his arrival at
Lado a man came to his tent. evidently
in great excitement. and said that the
! local wizard. OF IN logo. ~ had been
roaming about the country the night
before in the form of a jackal. During
his ramhles the "m'logo' had visited
Naschera-elRek. fully $50 miles away
between Lado and Khartum. Inc
wizard declared that two steamers bad
lust arrived at this point and had
! brougbt mails. He also described mi
nutely the appearance Of an English
officer accompanying the beats.
DR.. Felkin ridiculed the story. But
Emin Pasha took the thing more seri-
ausly. He directed that the wizard be
brought before him ana questioned the
fellow.
