JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 5.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-01-02

From all parts OF Europe where the poo
pie are of the kind loosely classified as
disturbance. and the seething discomfort
which undenably exists seems to be
working UP gradually to grand out
burst, the end of which no one can fore
tell, but which will probably result IN
changing the forms of government of
some of the oldest and most famous
rl.onarchies of the old world. There
seems, too, TO be something about the
blue waters Of the Mediterranean which
induces the present unrest. Certain 1t is
that the countries most affected by it are
those which adjoin or border on this sea-
which was the cradle OF ancient ciVili-
zation and which seems destined again
to look on changes which Will affect the
history of the whole world.
Perhaps it is not quite accurate to say
that the unrest is confined to the Latin
races. but 1t is undoubtedly accurate to
say that it is confined TO the shores Of
thrones alone are shaky. Those OF the
north seem to be set on a firm foundation
and so far they have escaped even a
sympathetic trembling from the disturb
Gnces in the south.
Whatever the cause, no one can deny
that q revolutionary wave is sweeping
over southern Europe and the attention
of the world was focused on it sharply
by the simultaneous outbreaks of disor-
derby sympathy which followed the exc
cution of Ferrer in Spain. 1t is a safe
assertion that not one in a thousand of
the demonstrators had ever heard of Fer
rer before, and that not half dozen in
each of the thousands who demonstrated
knew who he was and why he was exc
cuted, but his death was seized on an
excuse for showing their power by the
revolutionary elements all over Europe.
Anything else would have done as we'll,
but Ferrer served the purpose eXcellently.
he stood for the forces Of extreme
radicalsm, and opposed to one of the
most conservative monarchies in Europe.
Men who have watched the game of
European politics many years predict to-
day that great changes are coming in
the dynaSties of many countries. Even
the Turks, most conservative of all peo-
pies, have walked up and with prompt
tude characteristic of thoroughly con-
servative people when once awakened
they changed their king over night. In
Portugal Il year ago the people Slew
their king and his heir and the seat
which is now occupied by his second Sol
is one of the most insecure in Europe
Manuel's neighbor of Spain is also among
the monarchs whom the life insurance
companies would regard as bad risk
and in the extreme south King George OF
Greece probably could not take out d
policy on his throne at premium much
lower than 100 per cent.

ports it,
A man who Is connected with one of
the embassies in Paris q few days ago.
during a visit to that city. said that
never since its foundation has the third
republic been more insecure than 1t Is at
present. The working classes in France
are thoroughly diScontented, ana TINS
man thinks that the chances are mat
France will become an empire again. In
deed he pointed out some OF the httie
straws which show which way the Wind
OF public opinion is blowing, such as
"Vive Napoleon" and "A has la Repub-
liaue," scribl,led on the walls I'm public
places. insults to the flag by conscripts
and other things. trifies in themselves
but valuable as showing the state of the
public mind. He believed that the Ma
poleonic pretender was most likely. to b's
recalled because OF the Inherited glory
surrounding his name, but he declared
that both the royalist parties would COM
bine to support either pretender if there
seemed to be a fair chance OF success
OF course. the third possibility step
in the direction Of radical social democ-
racy, but this man did not think this step
would be taken until the French had
given monarchy another trial
In Greece the indications are that only
the action Of the great powers viii keep
King George on his throne. The Greeks
have always been a democratic people.
and they never forget that the days OF
their greatest glories were the days of
the Grecian republics. Even now Greece
is one of the most democratic Kingdoms
in the world The king mixes freely with
his people and puts on no airs. II he
did, he would most likely find that the
freedom-loving Greeks would laugh at
him or ignore him. Personally King
George is popular enough. He owes his
present situation to his sons. who were
brought up in the German fashion and do
not believe in democracy. The crown
prince tried to make himself autocrat of
the army and Prince George wanted to
rule the navy. Seeing that they went so
far when their father was alive. the
Greeks began to wonder what they would
do when he was dead and the present
crown prince was king, and they deter
mined to settle things once and for all
by getting rid Of the two princes. Now
they are talking about declaring the
throne vacant, but the powers have init
mated that IL this is done they will in
terfere forcfbly to re-establish the dy-
nasty.

ten and one-half miles. At the pass itself
a tunnel about three-uuarters Of q milo
long has been constructed, through which
the trains pass under the great wall. This
road is well built, although it has been
planned by Chinese engineers and con-
structed entirely by Chinese labor. 1t will
cost about S15,OOO,OOO to extend 1t to the
Siberian boundary.
China has many cities already large.
which are bound to grow enormously
through the new railroads now projected
and building. The chief of these are
king and Shanghai. Another railroad CEN
ter will be Chengtu, the capital of the
province of Szechuen, in western China.
and another will be Yunnan. the capital
southwest. AT all these places railroads
are either in operation or in projection.
and eventually the iron tracks will go out
from them like the spokes Of a wheel.
Tientsin will be q second New York. 1t
has already a million. and Is growing like
a green bay tree. 1t lies near the coast
Of the Gulf of Chilli and is the chief CEN
ter of trade for north China, with the
enormous coal fields Of Shensi and Shansi
tributary to it. 1t is on the trunk line
from Canton to Europe, and is the chief
port for the capital. 1t has connection
with the Acknowledging line, and is now
building road southwark. through Shan
tung to Marking, on the Yangtse kiang.
Another road. little further eastward.
will strike the river at Chinkiang. and
this will eventually be continued south to
Canton, making a great trunk line
through eastern China. That railway will
pass through some of the richest lands Of
tho world, and it will have the traffic Of
millions. 1t ought to pay almost as we'll
as the famous Panama road across the
isthmus In the early days of the Califor-
MAN gold discoveries.

the cars will be running to that stream by

the Germans are supplying the money.
Their part of that road is three hundred

tsin to the southern boundary Of Shan
t,Ing, the province which they claim as
their sphere of influence. The southern
section of two hundred and forty miles
will extend from Shantung to the little
town of Pukou, opposite Marking. on the
other side of the Yangtse. It will be
built by the British, who claim tho

Let no one tell you that Alfonso didn't
approve of the murder of Ferrer If he
had not approved it would not have
taken place, and now he is hiding be-
hind Maura. whom he has been COM
PEELED by popular Indignation to dismiss.
What Moret, the new prime minister,
will do it is impossible to predict. He
is an old liberal and will go just as far

The prevailing unrest has spread even to
this republic, and he would be a bold
man who would predict what the history

The second-class cars contained well-to-

benches and it seemed to me they looked
very uncomfortable. The third class was
filled with coolies, who were about as bad

tered at the ends by doors so low that
one had to stoop to get through them.

This is a branch of the Imperial railway

the profits of the Mukden-Peking line. 1t

are already built, and a connection has
been made with the Monaghan city of
kalgan OH the other side OF the great
wall Kalgan has $4,000 inhabitants; 1t is
the great center Of the caravan trade. a.
half million or more camels passing it
each year. The road will have q consid-
cradle traffic in carrying meat, furs ard
grain from Mongolia to Picking. 1t will
also take tea TO the Mongols. The pres
ent plan is to extend it across the Cobb
desert to Lake Baikal, where it will con-
meet with the Trans-Siberian railway and
form the shortest route to Europe. It will
put Picking within thirteen or fourteen
days Of London, and the time to New
York by fast express train and steam
will be about twenty days. When I visit
ed the Nankow pass a few years ago I
travelled by donkey ana mule litter and it
took me three days. BY this new road
the journey can be made in six hours or
less.
The road starts from Picking, and, until
it nears the mountains, the country is

ficials and other Chinese gentlemen, all
of whom were dressed in brocaded silk

buttons, in mourning for the emperor.
There were Chinese ladies, who. in the

investments.
This railway will be 600 miles long, and
every bit Of it through a richly populated
territory. It's ordinary passenger traffic
will be further added to by thousands of
pilgrims who will use it to visit the
grave OF Confucius, near which it runs.
The road passes through the great states
of Chill, Shantung, Anhwei and kiangsu.
1t will be the shortest line between
Shanghai and the Trans-Siberian road.
and will form the direct line to Picking.
1t is hoped that it will be open to traffic
by 1911.
Another important railway center. which
will boom under the new conditions, IL
this city OF Shanghai. 1t is already the
Paris of China and it begins to take on
the aspects OF European city. 1t has
big business blocks. mighty factories and
magnificent residences. Along the line of
railroad construction, it is moving more
rapidly than any other city in China. 1t
has recently been connected with Hang
chow, one of the wealthiest cities Of east
ern China, and a railroad is building from
there to the seacoast at Ningpo. Another

this week. It is under the control OF the
viceroy, and it is 175 miles long, and cost
about SIT 100000. The fares are low,
ranging from So to So, and the fast trains
go from one place to the other In about
seven hours In the past the trip had to
be made by boat on the Yangtse, and the
time was two days. Riding over this rail-
road is like going through Holland. The
country is cut up by canals and is even
more thicl<ly settled than Holland, but
you can visit almost every mans house in
