THE PEKING RAILWAY. THE PERIN
Reater's correspondent wired to the home papers from Peking on the 19th ult. :--I have Just returned from a journey over the recon structed railway from here to fiontain, of which 0 miles are under German and the remaining 20 undor Bussian control. The railrond itel has been admirably constructed. Having re gard to the difficali circumstances and the want of proper materials and tools which have ham pared the engineers, the work reflects the high est credit on those responsible. It is impossible however, to say the wine of the trak arrange insats. These, after making every allowance for the luck of efficit rolling stock, remain an upt illustration of how not to work a milway
to The Gorman railway en eers do not appear possess the necessary experiencs to enable them to handto oven the limited amount of traffle now resing, and this reflection is borne ont by the nummer in which the rolling stock hus been treated, The Russians originally handed over to the Germans four locomotives. Two of these were immediately disabled by being left in siling all night without fires, so that the pamps and injectors wern frozen and barst, while an other small engine was hopelessly disabled in collision. In another month or so the German working material will probably be worth the price of scrap iron unless there 18 meawhile considerable improvement in its treatment accomplished The journey, velich was formerly nonly velve and this is chiefly owing to the system of divided
control.
The best solution of the whole railway dif ficulty would appear to be to hand the manage ment over to Mr. Kinder and his staff, leaving the military to police the line and to carry on mastruction work when necessary. An efficient service, which ander present conditions is in possible, would thus be ensured,

THE CRISIS IN CHINA.
OBJECTIONS TO THE TERMS.

WESTERN SOLDIERS IN EASTERN EYES.
THE HONGKONG DAILY
Appreciations of the Western soldier are now beginning to be written in Japan, not by the ordinary newspaper correspondent, whose tendency to paint pictures rather than to
etch portraits renders his testimony apocry phul, but by sober men of business or of letters, who, visiting China, Love founded opinions av their own observations or on converse with active partisipators in the Chikli campaign. The estimates of these writers, says the Times Tokyo correspondent, differ an to the fighting capacities of the various unite of the allied army, but are uniform when they discuss con- duct and discipline.
All agree in placing the United States soldier at the head of the list. No excesses of any kind stand to his discredit. Excesses" in the vocabaisry of these critica does not include the soldier's common fault of inebrioty. No one claims any special virtue for the American in that respect. The appreciations deal solely with
murder, anda crimes-robbery, incendiariam. outrag. Not one of those is laid to the charge of the United States private. According to Japaneso accounts, his behaviour from frst to last wes that of a gontleman. It is noted that something of the kind might have been expected. since a majority of the volunteers serving in the American ranks are men of education and of means, with too much self-respect to be betrayal inte disgruesful acts merely because an opporto aity offers to commit them with impunity. The Germens are placed second on the list. Their dissipline and standings are said to have been splendid, and they would probably be bracketed equal with the Americans had not their sympathies been entirely with the troops that won the least enviable reputation. In this matter of racial sympathy there seems to have been a very marked line of differentiation. Ger muns, Russians, and French fell naturally into one group; Ataericans, English, and Japanese Sato another. Most emphatis of all was the friend ship between the Americans and the Japanese, perhaps some account must be taken of that fact when weighing the value of Japanese appreciations. The British are placed third, For the British officer the Japanese have only
praise. His conduct, they say, was absolutely beyond reproach of any kind. But the question of mon rather than of offeera, and it is charged against the Indian troops thrt they are pilferers. Thoy loot, ou a petty scale whenever a change, Presents itself. Uf everything more heinous, however, they are acquitted-of marder, of drson, of

CHINA STILL DALLYING.
difference was, they say, that whereas the Indian, the Frenchman, the Russian, and sometimes the German, stole individually, every man for lim- self, the Japanese stole systematically and in the public interest. At Tang-chow, instead of Rest fering to look for personal windfalls, they mar chou en masse to the granaries and took posses- sion of about a million yen worth of rice. At Peking they proceeded straight to the treasury and, loading the sycee upon ponies, carried two-and-a-half million tools worth of silver to the Japanese Legation, nearly half a mile distant. The Russians endeavoured to obstruct this movement, but the Japanese managed co adroitly that they got away the whole of the silver, loating only the copper behind The difference, then, was simply between organised theft and chaotic theft. Tho Japanese are frank enough about that. They say, too, that the astute Chinatnan Bually got the better of the individual looter. For native packmen, going round the camps, recovered the great majority of the stolon articles by paying to their ignorant owners merely nominal prices, and then fally squared the account by solling to the soldiers vile liquors at exorbitant profits. Where there is question of a commercial opera- tion the Chinaman generally comes out on top.
Returning to the conduct of the troops, Japanese critics place the French lowest bat one on the list in the matter of loot

But if this campaign in North China has again proved the helplessness of old-fashioned military systems, it has also furnished a strange commentary on Occidental civilization. The Japanese troops, rendered furious by the tortures that their comrades had suffered at Chinese hands the roasting alive of prisoners and the murder and mutilation of the wounded
adopted the rule of "po quarter" at Port! Arthur in 1894 and slew every able-bodied Chinaman. Up to that time and subsequently their conduct of the campaign was in accordance with the most enlightened principles. Yet over that one crime, perpetrated in circumstances to extreme provocation, Europe and America raised a clamour of indignation, and sober publicists have pointed to it as a conclusive proof that the Japanese nation is disqualified for alliance with any white people. It must be added that the Japances themselves have not shown much dis The envoys to be chosen for such work must position to frame from recent experiences a ro be persona able to uphold Chinese dignity and tort to the accusations preferred against their also intuential enough to induce the Chinesen troops five years ago.
