THE PEKING-CHINKIANG RAILWAY.
རས་
The Peking correspondent of the Shanghai Mercury, writes on the above subject, under date August 20th: ----
The official tender has been made for the construction of the line from Peking to Ching. kiang, a distance of 700 miles, and I am able to give you some facts which will, I think, prove interesting. Some of your readers will have noted by recent Japanese papers that the cast of constructing one of the latest lines in that country was to the Government no less than yen 35,000,000 for a distance of 500 miles. We will now contrast that figure with the tender that has been made for the Peking-Chingklang line. The line will necessitate, of course, cross- ing the Yellow River, as well as several other uncertain streams, and the necessary number of bridges set down at the lowest estimate. is 34.1 there will be two termini, thirty-five road stations, two large workships, with stationary engines, machinery, etc, complete, a telegraph line, 40 locomotives, yoo carriages and waggons, 40 brake vans, 700 miles of steel rails, gauge 4'3" 5, with metal sleepers, and the total amount of the tender for all these works, including the fitting up of the stations, is Tia 14,000,000. To show the lowncas of this estimate more effectually, I will put the Chinese and Japanese figures side by side.
Japanese line, gro miles, 1 metre gauge, pen-35 mail- lion or.........

....... T. 10,500,000 Reducing the miles to , we find that in Japan the cost of construction, etc., per i was Ti 16.333, while the tender for the Chinese railway is only Tis, 7,000 a 7. In Japan it is estimated that the line of 500 miles opens up a country containing a population of some ten millions, while the lines from Peking to Chinkiang traverse a country containing at least thirty millions who will have access to the railway. I
therefore estimate the cost to China of this line at about half of what Japan paid for her railways, while its earning capacity is three times greater. These facts speak for themselves, and show bow inestimable the gain of railways will be to this country.
Viceroy Chang Chih-tung when he sent in bis famous railway memorial in March last, thought that the amount could be reduced from Tis. 7,000 per li, the lines to cross the Yellow River in Honan instead of toChinkiangfrom Shantung. By avoiding that great bridge, the cost would be considerably less, and as the Shun Paa stated Inst year, the Chinkiang fine could be made for Tis, 10,000,000. It seems, however, that since then Viceroy Chang has found out it cannot be done at Tis. 5,000 a li, and therefore the delay of his reply to Prince Chan. Li Hung-chang's estimate for the Tientsia Tung-chow line, has betur er en reduces by Tis. one millian, which is considered here as a slap in the face to Li from the Canton

August 24th, 189.
On the evening of the 23rd instant, at about 6.30 p.m., when the atmosphere was very clear. the Peking Hills, east and west, were plainly. visible from our settlement, though the mountain ranges must be, as the crow flies, 100 to 110 miles distant from us. The mountain contours were sharply defined, and the sight was very beautiful under the rays of the setting sun. The hills at Kaiping, 60 or 70 miles away, were also visible to observers who mounted the towers of our new Town Hall,
On Wednesday night the waters of the Peiho were awash of the bank at the western side of the city, in fact some overflow occurred, and the bank showed signs of giving way to the flood pressure. Luckily by the morning the waters fell, and the Taotal at once sent a force of soldiers with material to raise and strengthen the bank, If, as it was feared, the dyke had given way, the country would have been flooded for hundreds of miles. The river, though it has fallen, is about aft. over the level of the plain to-day, so our danger is not over.
One disagreeable and costly injury inflicted by the waters of the Peiho, which are now so densely charged with grit, is that the steamers one and all which visit this port have suffered much damage in their screw bearings at the stern. The brasses are much cut and eccentric working.is set up, very hurtful to the mechanism. The Kowshing on this trip has to dock in Shang- bai to repair her bearings, and other steamers also suffer in more or less degree. The repais of the nature indicated are very expensive and troublesome.
Owing to the recent heavy rains there is now plenty of water in the Peho. The downward depth of water opposite the Harbour Master's current is still very rapid, but is abating. The Office is 14ft., the difference between high and low tide for the past week being: August 16th, Ift.; 17th, 1ft. 1ín.; 18th, 11in.; 19th, 1ft.; 20th. soln.; 21st, gin.; zand, soin.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) -
I hear that the hotels at Chemulpo are now reaping a rich harvest, owing in the first place to the frequent and regular calls of the Nippon
Yushen Kaisha steamers, the two local ocean steamers Signal and Haeriang, and the recent introduction of steam navigation on the river between Chemulpo and the capital. During the present season the hotels are stated to be full to overflowing, which is not be wondered considering the romantic scenery and fine panorama to be enjoyed from the verandabs, the the pure and refreshing sea breeze, and the delightfully cool evenings during the melting hot weather farther inland. Besides the leading hotels, there are the Hotel de la Corts (more generally known by the name of the proprieter,
Steward's Hotel," and the Japanese-owned "Daibulz Hotel" (bath of them being carried on, more or less sucessfully, in foreign style, Almost all the boarding houses and second-class resorts are also snugly filled.
