MAKING A CARD INDEX.
Mr. OdelPS Plan to PreUent Fraudu-
lent VOtiRg.

Ex-Governor Odell. chairman of the Repub-
lican State Committee. was in the city yester-
day for a few hours. He arrived at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel little before noon and returned
to Newburg at 5 o'clock. In the course of his
stay In the city he saw and talked with Sem
ator EIsberg, Senator SAKE and William Halpin
chairman of the Republican County Committee.
"I am ifty-one years old to-day" said the
Ex-Governor. "and that is about all the news
can tell you. I am celebrating the anniversary.
My little girl has been quite i'll. and I am stay
ing pretty close to home"
The chairman would not talk about possible
legislation or what the outlook was for the cam
paign in the city this fall. 1t is known. however,
that, working with Mr.. Halpin. he is perfecting
a card index system whereby every voter can be
registered and recorded. 1t will take months Of
work and cost thousands of dollars but the
Governor believes that by this system an honest
election can be insured in NewYork and fraudu-
lent registration and voting be prevented.
Representatives of the Merchants Association
had long talk with Mr.. Odell yesterday about
the proposed investigation of municipal gas and
lighting. Messrs Mead and De Berard talked
over the provisions of the gas bill prepared by
the Merchants Association. The bill is now in
Albany but will not be introduced until the or
ganization leaders have examined II. Mr. Odeu
said last evening that nothing had yet been de-

the city, but that discussion of the questions was

saidI
The Canton-Hankow Railroad is an American en-
terprise. The concession was secured from the
Chinese government by the late Senator Calvin
Brice in 1886. The company that to undertake
the building OF the road subsequently organized
with capital stock of Ss00.0O0 all of which was
originally held by Americans. The stock became
scattered and majority OF the shares were
acquired by King Leopold of Belgium.
Thirty miles have been completed, and are now
In operation at the Canton end of the route. This
true that Mr.. Morgan and others have reacquired
the interest that had been bought up by King Leo

MORGAN BUYS OUT KING.
Obtains Chinese Railroad Interests
Belonging to Leopold.

Paris. Jan. 14.-Information from Brussels

the extensive interests of King Leopold In the
Canton -Hankow Railroad have passed into the
hands of representatives of ]. Pierpont Morgan
of New-York Negotiations had been going on
for some time. as Il was contemplated TO COM
bine French, Belgian and American interests so
eventually to cover the Franco-Belgian con-
cession for line from Peking to Hankow. thus
making a continuous trunk line from Peking to
Canton, distance OF 1900 miles, cutting from
north to south through the heart OF populous
China.
The concession OF the Hankow-Canton Rail-
road was originally American, and then passed
under Belgian control. The line is about twelve
hundred miles long. and the extension to Peking
will be about fourteen hundred miles. total OF
260O miles, without counting the extensive spurs
toward Tien-Tsln Kiao-Chau and Shanghai.
Reports received from China show there is
much native agitation against foreign railroad
enterprise and the authorities here fear this
may interfere with the proper development of
French. Belgian and American interests. The
native opposition is not confined to the ignorant
classes 1t includes Chinese capitalists who
interested in the earnings of the railroads,
These Chinese have combined with the Portu-
guese the line from Canton to Macao. They
recently held a violent meeting in a Buddhist
temple at Canton for the purpose Of opposing
foreign control of the railroads.
The official report showing the cancellation OF
the British concession for a railroad from
Swatow to Chao-Chou and its reissuance to Jap
anese is cited as another evidence of national
opposition to European and American railroad
development A curious feature is that the Chi
nese capitalists do not wish for entire control of
the railroads, desiring only sufficient foreign
participation to insure foreign governments
preventing the extortion Of Chinese officials.
