They Are Few in Number and Mostly
Controlled by Foreigners.
China has few railways, the policy Of
foreign exclusion so long in vogue hav-
ing prevented their construction. Most
of the lines in existence are in the
region which is now the scene of mill
tary operations and of the depredations
of the Boxers" A railway, eighty
miles long, belonging to an English
company, extends from the port of
Tien-Tsin north to Pekin At Fengtal,
five miles south of Pekin ON this line,
begins the Belgian "Lu Han" railway,
which extends southwest seventy
eight miles to Paotingfu, where the
Boxers" have been particularly ac-
tive. Both the English and the Bel
gian lines have been largely destroyed
by the rioters. From Tien-Tsin a rail-
way extends 2S7 miles eastward to
Chenchou, and there are branches ag-
gregating fifty miles. Altogether the
English system has 4O7 miles and the
Belgian Lightweight. 1t is the former
that is to be ultimately connected with
Moukden, in the Russian sphere, where
it will connect with the Siberian rail-
way. About sixty miles of the Ameri.
can Hankan-Pekin line has been grad
ed, but work is now stopped.

while handling the rifle it was acct

Albany, April 3.-Governor Roosevelt
today INDUCED in an action more worthy
of a sixteen year-old boy than of the Gov
ernor Of New York State. He lost his tenn

made such an exhibition of himself that
his friends present left the room in NOR
tification at his conduct and for fear the
frightful fit of temper of the hero of San
Juan Hill should result in a personal as
sault on some member of the committee
which was the cause OF his anger.
1T was a committee OF Syraeusans come
to ask the Governor to order a change in
the survey of the proposed New State Ca
nal This subject is a sore one with Roose-
welt. He wants his own way with the ca
nal proposition. just as he has had 1t in
the boxing law and fish commission mat

of the Syracuse interests that would be
materially affected by the new canal sur

ator Armstrong to agree to block the ap
preparation for the canal unless the Gov
ernor does as they think he should.

starter for a series of unpleasant things
that arose in quick succession, with the
result that by luncheon-time the temper OF
the Governor was. metaphCr-calIy, ful! OF

him from getting his lunch at the usual
time, so when the committee from SRA

finger in the faces of the committee while

down in front of the big desk in the outer
chamber and once during this scene tee
was a flow OF words that are best repre-

vehemence was such that they could net
wedge a wcrd in anywhere. After his fury
had spent itself somewhat, he pulled him
self together, and walked rapidly into his
