Now, after six years' delay, when the route is being surveyer with a view to a commencement of the work, the concessionaires are confronted with a Chinese agitation against railway enterprises by foreigners of any nationality, and the negotiations at Peking are in consequenos impeded.

But it is not a happy angry that a large number of in-1 quential merchants and gentry of Canton and the cities along the proposed route to Kowloon are arging that the line should be built oxclusively with Chinese capital.
