table as now published is quite an Imposing document, and conduces to a certaia Brad. shar-like respect in the student thereof. After the war of 1894, it is generally remembered, there was quite an epidemic of concessions, but it is also remembered how for long there seemed little prospect of CO., these developing into netural lines. Pressure in more than vue direction had to be applied, and now, in this year of grace, an 11 if we include Maucheria, we can proudly point to well over three thousand miles of railway lines actually laid down, with another thound in the making, and four thousand miles surveyed and-or sanction ed. The three thousand miles of railway now in use serve to indicate what will happen when all that are projected are xasde. The Chinese are taking to railway travelling like ducks to water, we are told. The passenger carriages are crowded, and the goods tracks also would be crammed with merchandise but for thittle misunderstanding about likin. As it is, observers claim to have noticed a distinct dwindling effect open the paroobialism of the Chinese in the neighbourhood of avail able railways. Wider outlook, growth of interest in broader issues, is being traced in gome districts to the influence of the Puffing Billy. Those are foreign observations, how ever. The Chinese are not quite awake yet to these minaterial or indirect benefits. The London Times points this out, a wastes upon an audience already convinced some valuable remarks that should have, been printed in ideographs. For instance, it concludos a recent editorial thus Hostility to foreign influence, suspicion of foreign intentions, lead the Chinese to oppors violently any asheme for railway construction in which foreignospital and direction is concerned, Burong agitation has taken place in several parte of China to persuade the Government to onaal Concessions held by foreign syndicates, This attitude of hostility is not without justification. In the past, railway schemes were often a cloak for political ambitions, and Chinese Interests wore sometimes ignored by groups of capita Ists, who had secured incrative

privilegan, But in refusing to admit foreign co-operation to any force the Chinese now seem to bolsjuring them saires. It would be quite possible for them to obtain the loan of external funds and the services of skilled engineers on terma that would fully safeguard China's sovereignty and interests The last agreements concluded represent a great A.

There is lack of espital, lack of mutual confidence between people and officials, and above all lack of aspable engineers.
