THE RAILROADS
OF THE CHINESE
Frank Carpenter Interviews Chief
Secretary Of the Kingdoms Inn
perial Railway Administration.

Picking railroad connection with every
part of Europe.
Another important railroad In
North China" Mr.. Ferguson continued,
"is the line from Picking to Hankow
This great trunk line Is being built by
a Belgian syndicate. 1t was extended
from Picking to Pao Tingfu before the
Boxer outbreak, and 1t has since been
built as far south as the Yellow River.
The Belgians have been also working
on the construction from TIankow
northward. More than half of that
part of the line is completed. and 1t is
expected that 1t will reach the Yellow
River by the end of the present year.
Then there will be a direct line from
Hankow to Pekin, broken only by the
Yellow River. Thfs~wi have to be
bridged, and plans for the bridge have
been prepared, although the actual
work Of bridge construction has not yet
been commenced. The Yellow River
has often been called 'China's Sorrow
1t is noted for it's shifting sands and
its changing course, and it will be diff
flcult to properly bridge it. 1t will be
done, however and we can then send
cars from Hankow to any part of Eu-
rope"
An AngIo-German Railroad.
II have understood that another line
is being built from north to south.
nearer the sea-"
You refer SUPPOSE was the re-
ply. ito the concession given to the
Anglo German syndicate. That line
has been planned, but construction has
not yet begun. 1t will run from ITEM
tsin down through the western part of
the Shantung province along one of
the old freight routes. until it strikes
the Grand canal. and will then go
along the banks of that canal to Shin
kiang on the Yungtse river. That pro-
ject is very important one, for the
road will form one of the great trunk
lines connecting the northern trade

THE THOUSAND ISLANDS.

There may be somewhere on the earth
a more delightful region than that of
the Thousand Islands, but If there is.
1t has not been. discovered 1t is the
Venice of America. but also has good
hotels that can be kept warm IL there
shall happen to be a cold rainy even
ing. 1t is as fine as the Bay of Naples
with 1000 picturesque Islands scattered
along the twenty-five miles of one OF
the most beautiful rivers in the world.

o; having comfortable cars they should
have to ride in dirty carts through the
rain over almost impossible roads. As
result five or six thousand of the
students refused to undertake the hard
ships of the rest of the journey and
went back by rail. Those students ten
years ago might have written essays
against railroad Introduction as piece
of foreign impudence. Today they will
be among the most ardent advocates of
our modern methods of transporta-
ton"
no" concluded Mr.. Ferguson, 81
think the better class of the Chinese
are now in favor of the railroad devel-
opment of the empire. There will al
ways be more or less opposition at
the start from the people owning prop
erty through which the lines are to
run, but this Is an incident of con-
struction rather than fixed opposition
to railroad development.

| Yes, said Mr.. Ferguson, There are
number of railroads either building,

hne Will go southwark from the
Yangtse, connecting with the Anglo
German syndicate line. 1t will be con-
structed from Marking to Shanghai
IL Is to be built by a British corpo-
.dllon and that soon. Indeed the line
Is now being surveyed preparatory to
beginning It's construction. This road
Will pass through some of the most
popuious parts of China. 1t will con-
meet Shanghai and Marking with
suchow, and it will probably be en-
Tended southwark to Hangchow ar

the silk trade. 1t will be an especial

Opening Up "a New World.
But how about western China, Mr.
ferguson--I mean the country beyond
the gorges of the Yangtse- Kiang?"
That is a very important region"
ana 1t is comparatively unknown to
the rest of the world. 1t has a rich
soil and vast mineral wealth. There
are number of syndicates which have
been endeavoring to secure concessions
Tor railroads there, and especially for
a road to go from Hankow up through
the mountains to Chungking, the
chief trade center of the Szechuan
province, and on to Chengtu, the cap

more or less from the rest of China
py the mountain ranges which border
II on every side. 1t is true that both
the yellow river and the Yangtse have
their sources in that region, but their
course through the mountains is so
1ull of rapids that navigation has been
impossible and the country has had to

The Property to BE Turned over
TO the A. & B. in n Few Days.
Brunswick, Ga, Aug. lin the Su-
perior Court yesterday the only mat
ter handled was that confirming the
sale of the Brunswick and Birming-
ham Railroad. its franchise. etc.
which took place Tuesday.
There was considerable argument by
the attorneys, and the matter occu-
pied the entire day in the court OBJ
jectfons We're made to the connrma-
ton of the sale, as to the dlstrlou-
ton OF funds, and it was late IN the
afternoon before the sale was finally
confirmed.
The decree of the court was rather
a lengthy legal document, which is
not of much interest to outside read
ers. A bond was required of the pur-
chaser, etc, and the last section OF the
decree says:
1T is ordered and decreed that the
purchaser, or his successor or as
signs, be required to furnish oono IN
the sum of $50. conditioned for the
payment Of such costs and claims as
the court may adjudge to be properly
PAYABLE out of the funds judgment
upon which bond may be entitled as
in cases of appeal"
A decree in the equitable petition
was also issued by the court. fixing
the amount to be paid attending the
sale of the road. This order in full
is as follows
The funds are to be distributed as
follows Payment of expenses OF sale,
S30S 20; compensation of commissioner,
$500; costs of suit: compensation of
receiver for services, $1,000; receiver S
services and counsel fees. $2,69l.6O;
Knickerbocker Trust Company for its
services, etc. s10745; payment Of re-
ceiver's certificates amounting to S.
900. with interest at 6 per cent. per
annum interest $60.675.15.
The further distribution of the bal
ance of the proceeds of sale is reserv-
ed for the future order and direction
of the court.
With the confirmation the sale of
the road is practically brought to an
end and the property will be turned
over to the Atlantic and Birmingham
within a few DAYS. OF course there
is still considerable litigation pending
against the Brunswick and Birning-
ham and it will all be settled prob
ably at the next term of the Superior
Court.
