RAILWAYS IN CHINA.
Dr G. E. Morrison Criticises.
The following Times' telegram from fis Peking correspondent, summarising, the past year's events in China, is reproduced
in the Yorkshire Post of the 4th ult, :-
British railway enterprise does not com- pare favourably with that of other nations The Peking Syndicates hay built 75 miles of railway in the interior of the Ionan Provinos, and aro sinking a slixft, hoping to find coal at a payable depth which they may be able to sell in Tlentain,......
The British and Chinese Corporation ób. tained nearly six years ago the Shanghai. Naukin Railway, the Kaulung-Canton Rail- way, the Ningpo and other valuable con cessions, but they annually report that they have not yet laid a single rail. The Government sécured theso con- cessions for the Corporation in the belief that the Corporation would set an example by investing their own capital in the enterprise. Their methods have done
much to discourage the Chinese from taking British concessionarios soriously. That so valuable a concession as the Kaulung-Can- ton Railway should be locked in the drawers of the Corporation is little short of a scandal, and was strongly commented on by the Governorof Hongkong, Sir Henry Blake, in his farewell speech. What we think in Chins is that the Government, if it had the
interests of British trade in China at heart, would exerciso its right, and transfor unused concessions to other British capita lista, whose way is now blocked. The Corporation are now negotiating for the Hankau-Szechuan Railway, Opinion in China is that if the concession, which by agreement with China can only be granted to the British syndicate, is obtained by the Corporation, or by a combination in which the Corporation have a half-share, it would ho regrettable, meaning as it would that the railway will not be constructed for many years, if ever; while genuine British syndicatos, capable of constructing the line from their own resources, would be for ever excluded,
The Great Masters.'
We have received Parts Two, three, four and five of the 'Groat Masters,' being Photogravure Reproductions of the works! of the most famous Painters, including an introduction and descriptive text by Sir Martin Conway, Slade Professor of Art, Cambridge. Tho pictures reproduced in Great Masters' have been selected from all the leading public and private collec tions of the world, and include the works
of Gainsborough, Reynolds, Vermeer, Rembrant, Van Dyck, Rubens, Raphael, Murillo, and a host of others. The com- plete series will consist of 100 pictures, in twenty-five parts, and are sold at a very reasonable price. The complete series will be supplied to subscribers of the first four instalments at a considerable reduction, und a handsome cloth portfolio will be pro- vided free of charge. By the process em- ployed in the reproduction of these pictures the results attained are equal in every way to the beautiful copper-plate engravings of the past, with artistic effects and delicacies of shading equal to those of the finest mez. zotints. The size of the pictures (15 by 20) makes them eminently suitable for framing, and affords scope for the adequate and clear presentation of almost any picture which is not cramined with detail. The impressions are on fine art paper, and are beautiful specimens of the photograver's ability. The instalments aro published fortnightly by Mossrs Wm. Heinemann, London.

the main topic of conversation round about town, and the usual rumours, ao provalent of late, were bandied about. Most of the rumours, when sifted to the bottom, are found to be basoless, but still each day brings its orop.
Sample Rumours. The following are some of the rumours that were current in the Clubs and tea- houses to-day :-
1. That the Japanese bad landed a large force in Cores, were opposed by the Rus sians and lost upwards of 250 men.
2. That a Japanese battleship engaged two Russian warships, and sunk them.
3. That the Japanese have captured a Russian mail steamer.
4. That two Japanese torpedo-boats attacked a Russian cruiser off Chemulpo, and that all three were sunk.
Our readers will probably be able to supply variants, of these; but until our correspondents in Japan get their messages through we prefer to wait before accepting any of these rumours as reliable.
It may be noted as showing the stringency of the censorship in Japan that the Hong- kong Observatory has not received its cus- tomary daily weather bulletins from Japan and the North.
