Railway Development in China.

More and more the slow-going Chi
nese junk is yielding to the steamer
and the railway, especially the latter
During the last Chinese year, the lit
tie railway running between Canton.
Fatsham and Samshui carried 3.293.-
731 passengers. Before this line was
constructed the junk was the means
of conveyance between these two
places. In South China railway enter
prise seems to be highly profitable. A
large passenger traffic rapidly devel-
opes. The Canton-Fatsham-S -Samshui
line and the Summing railway both did
admirably last year, and even the
working portion of the Canton-Han-
kow trunk line is already paying op-
Grating expenses, and something to-
wards the cost of further construction
in addition.
