The great amount of attention that is devoted to the question of providing

railway communication with this remote corner probably sprang originally from the testamentary Memorial of TSO TRUNG T'ang, the suppressor of the Mahommedan rebellion in Kansu and Turkestan, in which he urged the necessity of China's adopting foreign methods and appliances, and especially railways. Unquestionably a railway to Kansu would be of immense assistance to the Government in main-

taining order in that for spot and in checking disruptive tendencies in the New Dominion. It could never pay its way however; it would be a constant source. of expense and would do nothing to add to the sum total of the wealth of the country, so that it can only be regarded ag a costly and unperatury luxury. Nor can much be said in favour of the other lines. One of them, from Hengchow in Hunan to Nonning on the West River, will probably prove a sound undertaking,
