vulcu uas been rightly called the iron back
bone OF the empire. The division from Han
kow to Peklng is already In operation. I
came over II this week. The southern sec
ton is that known In America as the Cam
ton-Hankow railway. It will begin here at
Wuchang, on the Yang-Tse-Kiang, oppo-
site Hankow, and will go on south TO the
mighty city Of Canton. This part Of the
line is somewhat known TO the United
states. II was surveyed by American en-
gnieers under a concession that was
granted 10 Calvin Brice and others Of our
famous capitalists about eleven years go.
As far as / can learn the Americans did
little more than go over the line and be-
gin its construction. They shilly-shallied
and dnly-dallled until the Chinese grew
tired and then sold back their concession
to them az a profit Of almost 1000 per cent.
The Chinese are glad to again have hold
Of their property, and they expect to put
the line through. Mr.. Tsou, the railway
man with whom 1 talked, is a pusher. He
is a live, up-to-date capitalist and is bust
ness from start 70 llnlsu. lie mas Deen
educated along western lines and speaks
fuently a half dozen languages. Our con-
versation was in English. He said:
w have gone over the route and made
new surveys, and we already nave the
schemes Of organization and Of raising
the money practically completed
The road now planned is to consist OF
four great divisions, one for each Of the
provinces through which it runs. All told.
the line will be about 500 miles long, and
will pass through the richest and most
pJpulous parts Of the empire. The north
ern section begins here at Hankow, and
runs for 100 miles southwark through
the province Of Hupeh. This is the section
with which 1 am connected. Hupeh will
control It. The money will be raised here
and the road will be managed from
Wuchang until the entire line is comS
pleted. The next section goes south from
Hupeh to Human, and the third through
northern K~wangtung, Joining there to the
fourth, which runs south through southern
Kwangtung to Canton. Each Of these
provinces will handle its own division,
just as Hupeh will do"

pleted on credit. Altogether about 5000
shares Of stock we're issued, and Of these
over 1000 were still in the hands Of the
when the road was turned back

According to the conditions, the Amer
leans were to survey the road at once and
begin its construction. They were to
push it rapidly forward to a completion.
1t was also the understanding that they

cession to other nations, nor to allow

that the deal with China was possible. did
so for a low price. Then an arrangement
by which the American rights were sold
back for 10.O00,O 900 taels, or about Sc. 100. 900
IN gold, and this money was divided among
tho 1900 odd stockholders. How much
hard cash the Americans put into the
scheme 1 do not know, but that is what
they drew out. What China got for all
this money is only a little stretch OF rail-
road, thirty miles long, running from Can
ton to the town Of Samshui. which could
not have cost. l should say, more than
100000. or $4,000 a mile. It is a standard
Euage road, laid with seventy-Clve pound
rails, and it has, altogether, only about
twelve miles of double track and eighteen
miles OF single track. a part Of the road
is stone ballasted, and a part is ballasted
with sand. In addition to this the Chinese
have the surveys made by Barclay Par
sons and others, but they, in the words OF
Mr.. Tsou, are not what the Chinese want,
and could have been made at a cost Of a
few thousand dollars. 1 understand that
the Americans claim that they expended
on the enterprise, all told, about $1,000, 900
In gold; and that the additional amount OF
s., 100000 was claimed for the loss Of their
valuable rights. On this basis, supposinR
that the stockholders originally paid par
for their shares, which is doubtful, the
1000 shares would have cost them S4OO.OOO
and they drew out, according to their own
statement, 50, 7OO,OOO, which equals over 900
per cent. Indeed:
For ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain
The Christian Yankee is peculiar.
Since the Chinese took hold Of the Can
ton-Hankow system they have, as Mr..
Tsou says, made new surveys. They have
extended the little strip built by the
Americans, so that It is now about fifty
miles long. and they are running cars over
that section. They are building on the
other divisions, and the great steel works
at Han Yang are making rails to be used
in the construction.
The road is being handled by Chinese en-
gineers, and the Samshui branch is worked
by a Chinese staff presided over by two
Americans. 1 understand that some diff
Guilty has arisen as to securing Chinese
capital to finish the road and that money
may be borrowed from Germany.
