The engineers who are constructing the Canton-Hankow line bare a lot to put up with from the opposition and experstition of the ignorant villagers.

A few days ago a mob of angry villagers surrounded the contractor and demanded that the bridge should at once be taken down, as its erection would cause the prospority of the place to care. The contractor, of course, refused to do so, and then the infuriated Sir T. Kato, the Japanese Ambas-peasants thomeres began its demolition.
