The revenue of China from the likin duty appears to be mongaged to foreige backe in connection with a scheme for the construction of a great railway in China. It is evident that the foreign: Powers, whose subjects or citizens hold Chinese rallway beads, have a direct interest in the carrying- out of the proposed reforms in China. The railway bonds held by the foreign Powers and capitalists show that the "open door policy, which the Powert concerned are carrying into practice with the co-operation of China, in being practically and actually applied. The connection of the United States with the Chi!.' ese reform scheme, it is considered, will be of great advantage to America when these refortos actually appear in tangible abape.
