RAILWAYS IN CHINA.
The opening up of China by means of railways constructed throughout the country appears to be on the eve of consummation, as the prejudices of the people against this mode of locomotion have been in a great measure removed, says an American paper. The
the Chinoman recognizes
great benefits railways w uld confer on the commerce and trade of the Empire, and an immense impetus will be given to traffic, and new markets established, as soon as the pro- jected lines are completed.. The following information with regard to the railways at present in existence in China and those for which concessions have been granted by the Chinese Government, or which are proposed to be asked for, has recently been prepared by the Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury De- partment of, the United States and.published
dency of China, is a projected Russian line to connect with the great Russian Trans-Siberian railway, now nearing completion, and which will bring its great tmffic to the ice-free ports-- of Port Arthur and Talienwan, on the Gulf of Pechili, which lies directly east of Pekin and Tientsin, the most important treaty port of North China. To this proposed Russian line. the Chinese Goverment has already given assent, and work upon it is in progress the men and property utilized in its con struction being guarded by Russian troops, thus bringing into northern China a Russian influence and inilitary force which have led the map-makers and students of the great affairs of nations to already shade, whether justly or unjustly, that portion of the map of China as a Russian sphere of influence." This Russian line passes near to the important treaty port of Newchwang, where American and British commerce is already well established, and in order to minimize the danger to this commerce by the proximity of the Russian line and Russian interests, British¡capital bas -arranged for the construction of a road from Shan-bai- kuan, already touched by a completed, line from Pekin to Tientsin, to Newchwang, thus giving a ready railway communication with the capital, the great port of Tientsin, and thence toward the Yangtze Valley, where the British bave arranged with Ching that there shall at least be no concessions in favour of any other Government, and which valley is thus by some, though with doubtful propriety, termed a "British sphere of influence."
The important territory lying between Pekin and Tientsin in the north, and the great Yangize Valley in central China, is already a checker-board of proposed railway lines. One of these 'runs from Tientsin south-eastwardly to Shanghai, at a distance of from 100 to 350 miles from the coast, following the general course of the Grand Canal, but at considerable distance from it at places, and having a length of probably 700 miles A small portion of this from Shanghai northward is a British concession; but, as a part of the proposed line extends through the province of Shantung, in which the Germans claim railway and mining rights under their Kiaochau con- cession, British and German capital has com bined for the construction of the large pro- portion of the road. At two points midway it is lapped by purely German lines, which run eastwardly to the German possessions and port of Kinochau, penetrating important coal and. iron regions, the population of the province through which they extend, Shantung, being more than 36,000,000,
Lying west of the British-German line which connects Shanghai with Tientsin and Pakin, and from 200 to 400 miles distant, is another important line, which is to connect Pekin with Hankow, the most important interior city of China. Hankow is on the Yangtze river, at the head of what may be termed deep-water navigation, being reached by large seaworthy steamers that bring it into direct water com-

The importance The 400,000,000, people of China are now of a line which connects this great business served by, 350 miles of railway, or less than one centre of nearly a million people with the mile for each million people. More than ten capital of the Empire, and at the same time times this length of railway, however, is now passes through an important agricultural projected, and not only projected in the or and mining section having a population of dinary sense of the term, but in many cases 100,000,000, can scarcely be overrated. This being actively pushed forward and with pro proposed line, about 650 miles long, is in the spect of a comparatively early completion. The hands of a Belgian syndicate, though expres. roads thus far constructed belong to the Chinese | sion has been given to the belief that Russian Góvemment, and were constructed under its ¦ influence and Russian funds 'co-operate in its control and direction and at its expense. They proposed.construction and prospective control, connect Pékin, the capital, with Tientsin, the most important treaty port of northem China, and therice to Bhan-hai-kuan, lying, as does Tientsio, on the Gulf of Pechili; while another part of the line runs south-westwardly from Pékin to Paoting, the capital of the province of Chili, in which Pekin is located.
and some colour is given to this belief by the fact that a shorter linn under admittedly Russian control is to connect it at the north with the important coal and iron regions of Shansi provitice.
Still west of this important line is a series of several hundred miles in length penetrating the China's first railroad was opened in 1876-be-
