CHINA'S GREAT NEED
RAILROADS MUST BE BUILT TO

Primitive System Of Transportation
by Coolies and Carts Over Roads
Scarcely Worthy the Name Now .
Fatal Drawback.

After the war is over China finds
herself in status quo SO far as rail-
roads 60. The war is credited with
little influence in producing the prac-
tical deadlock in railway construction
now obtaining in the celestial empire.
An adequate railroad system would
be a wonder worker, SO great are its
possibilities. but while the Chinese ap-
preciate the need. of some railroading
to supplement the work of their can
ais and coolies they have no realiza-
tion Of the development Of country
by railroads. The amount Of goods
transported by coolies and in north.
ern China by carts Is almost beyond
belief. In the interior OF the greater
portion Of the country coolies and
canals carry all the freight. What
this means can be understood fairly
when 1t Is known that there is prac-
ticaliy no railroad service at all in
the more populous and richest parts
OF an empire of 100000, 900 people or
more. Most of the roads are scarcely
worthy the name. In the northern
provinces the trafiic in carts Of
rough sort dominates the entire move
ment Of goods to the seaboard. When
waterways are frozen great part Of
the year this is Of necessity the case.
It IL in such regions that the first
hold Of the railroads has come. When
the empire is served at all 1t is serv-
cd by waterways. Along the Chinese
coast there is series Of navigable
rivers coming down from the interior,
series which has few equals the

these rivers seem to be formed to

RUSSIA'S FALSE CAR
IMPosToR SAID TO BE At HEAD
OF FIFTY THOUSAND MEN.
Movement Recalls Rebellion Of 177a,
Which 10 Said to Have Cost 100, 900
Lives-started In Region Which Is
Now Affected.

The infiamed state of the people OF
Russia as well as the credulity OF the
Russian character is again manifested
in the army of $4,000 that has gather.
ed in few days In the Volga region
to follow a false car. This bogus
emperor, as the dispatches tell, made
his appearance near Penza, in the
heart Of the vast region extending
westward from the Volga.
This movement recalls the great
Pugatchen rebellion Of 1773, which is
said to have cost 100000 lives. This
rebellion also occurred in the region
where the false czar started his in.
surrection in the last few days.
Yemelyan Ivanovitch Pugatcheff was
born In 1926 and died in 1775. The
rebellion he led was known AZ the
"Pugatchefshtchina." He was q Cos.
sack of the Don and fought against
the Prussians in the Seven Years War
and in the campaign against Turkey
in 1863.
On his return from the latter war
he was arrested for helping his broth.
er-in-law to escape across the Don.
Fearing punishment he ran away to
the Cossacks of the Terek. In the
land Of his refuge he heard the per
sistent rumors that Peter III was still
alive. 1t happened that he bore q
striking resemblance to the murdered
czar, and 1t occurred to him to I'm.
persOnate that sovereign. Whether
this Russian soldier dreamed Of the
bloody results that followed this I'm.
personation is doubtful, but he boldly
announced that he was Peter III and
issued proclamation in the name OF
that sovereign in 1873, declaring that
he would dethrone Catherine II and
again occupy the throne.
The rebellion began in the same
year. He attached to his cause the
Raskolniks, whose religion he EN-.
braced. and won over several Finnish
and Tatar tribes and thousands Of the
peasantry.
After the capture of many fortresses
on the Ural and the Don, Orenbu-g
among them, he marched his army
against Moscow. At a crucial time
he was sold by some of his compan.
ions for 100000 rubles and was cap.
tured. After his trial he was executed
| In Moscow. His execution ended the
rebellion, which had been one Of the
bloodiest of its kind in history.
