The courer's Special Washington Correspondent.
BY G. Gould Lincoln

Washington, D. c., Dec. 81. = In
discussing the effect Of the improve
ments in the Mississippi river in the
Rock Island district, which includes
the work from the mouth of the Mis-
souri, river to lock and dam No. /,
about on the boundary line between
st. Paul and Minneapolis, the chief Of
engineers in his annual report recent
ly made public says:
"The usual reduction In freight rates
due to water competition is experience
ed, but comparatively little benefit is
expected until transfer and transporta-
ton facilities have been provided at
the various cities, plans for which, In
some cases are now carried out. Some
increase In commercial water borne
freight Is noted"
The report shows that the end OF the
fiscal year, June 80, 1915, about 32 per
cent Of the present project. which calls
for six foot channel, with width
varying from 800 feet at st. Paul to

CHINA AFFECTED

RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION IN THE
CELESTIAL EMPIRE NOW At
sTANDsTiLL.

Peking, Dec. 10 Correspondence
of The Associated Railway
construction in China is practically at
a standstilI-as a result of financial
conditions brought about by the Euro
pean war. The Belgians, British, Rus
SLAMS and French all have railway I'm.
dertakings in China, and the virtual
suspension Of this work is hard blow
to the country which is, as yet, in
adequately served by railways and
greatly in need of them for defensive
as we'll as commercial purposes.
Efforts have been made to interest
American capital in several of the
lines. Chinese officials are confident
that the European nations would turn
over their interests to a neutral
country, such as the United States, II
American financiers would undertake
to complete the lines.
The Chinese themselves are trying
to finish the railway between Ian
chow, in Kansu Province, with the sea
at Tungchow, in Kiang-su Province.
This line is more than a thousand
niles long and is of prime Importance

CARRYING on the work towards the west
on a loan provided by the Chinese gov
eminent. The work is fitful, however,
aid there is little prospect OF COM
pleting the line without foreign assist
ance.
Work has been suspended on the
British railroad, projected between
Marking and Sinyang. This line Is
about ESQ miles long and connects Nan
king with the Shanghai and Peklng
main lines, and with the Peking-Han-
kow line at Sinyang. Only nine miles
of earthwork has been completed on
this project. The entire route, how
ever, has been surveyed and all plans
perfected, but the loan for financing
it had not been negotiated before the
outbreak Of the war.
Surveyors are still at work on the
projected British railway southwest
from Marking to Ping Hsiang, dis.
lance Of about 500 miles. The survey
will be completed next spring, but at
present there is no money In sight for
the building of the railway.
The Chinese are continuing the ex.
tension of the railway from Kalgan,
northwest of Picking, to the Yellow
River in Mongolia through money that
has been raised by a local loan, but
the funds are insufficient to complete
It. The original plans provide that
this line shall connect with the pro-
jected Russian line across Mongolia to
touch the Trans-Siberian railway near
Lake Baikal in Siberia.
