Suddenly the altar was Illuminated

MORGAN BUYS
CHINA RAILROAD
FINANclER BUYS INTERESTS
OF KING LEOPOLD
Great System viii Be Formed by
Combination Of French, Belgian
and American Interests.
Chinese Opposed
BY Associated Press.

by aseocthteu hfesS4
PARIS. Jan. 1A-Information from
Brussels reaching the highest quarters
here shows It is the extensive interest
OF King Leopold in the Canton -Hankow
railroad which have passed into the
hands of representatives Of j. Pierpont
Morgan of New York. Negotiations
had been going on for some time as it
was contemplated to combine French,
Belgian and American interests so as to
eventually cover the Franco Belgian
concession for line from Pekin TO
Canton, over $500 miles, cutting from
populous China. The extent Of this
project is compared by those familiar
with the negotiations, with the trans
continental lines connecting New York
and San Francisco.
That portion of the project relating
to Pelxin and Hankow is still in abey-
ance, but the French view appears
favorable to combining the interests
so as to make q continuous route from
the capital to the great emporium in
the south. That portion relating to
the Hankow-C Canton railroad is con-
sidered to have been closed by the
transference of the interests of which
the personal holdings of King Leopold
make up the largest part of Mr.. Nor
gan's. This branch of the negotiations
was conducted at Brussels. The con-
cession Of the Hankow-Canton rail-
road was originally American and then
passed under Belgian control. The line
is about 1900 miles long, and the ex-
tension to Pekin will be about 1400
miles, total of 1000 miles without
counting the extensive spurs toward
XII Auchou, Tien Tsin and Shanghai
Reports received from China show
there is much native agitation against
foreign railroad enterprises and the
authorities here fear this may inter-
fere with the proper development of
French, Belgian and American inter
ests. The native opposition is not con-
fined to the ignorant classes. 1t in
cludes Chinese capitalists who are in
terested in the earnings OF the rail-
roads. These have combined with the
Portuguese on the line from Canton to
Maoko. They recently held a violent
meeting in a Buddhist temple at Can
ton for the purpose of opposing foreign
control of the railroads. The official
reporting showing the cancellation of
the British concession for railroad
from Swatow to Chaochou and it's re-
issuance to Japanese is cited as an
other evidence of national opposition to
European and American development.
A curious feature is that the Chinese
capital interests do not wish for en-
tire control of the railroads, desiring
sufficient foreign participation to in
sure foreign governments preventing
the extortion of Chinese officials. The
French authorities are seeking to over
come the native opposition so as to
permit realization of the French
branch of the extensive projects.
