THR MORNING ASTORIAN ASTORIA ORE SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1905 ONE PAYMENT MADE Chinese Pay First Instalment On Price of Railroad. American Stockholders, Through J. P. Morgan & Co. Sell Their Interests in Canton-Hankow Railway to Chinese Government For $6,750,000. New York. Sept. 8. In the office of J. I Morgan 1 Co., Sir. Cheng Tung Living Cheng, Chinese minister to the United States made the first payment of the $t.750.000 with which his govern ment has agreed to give to reimburse the stockholders in the Canton-Hankow railway. None of those interested would make known the exact size of the tirt installment. Three months hence the final payment will be made, and then the concession and the thirty miles of railway built will revert to the Chinese, who it is stated, on good authority, intend to complete the railway, which, traversing the most thickly settled part of the Chinese empire, is to be 2o0 miles in length. Sir Cheng Tung Liang Cheng came to this city from Amherst on Wednesday evening and after the business was completed yesterday he returned at once to his Summer home. With the Chinese minister was John W. Foster, former Jstretary of State, who represents China in the negotiations and in the office of Mr. Morgan was George L. Ingraham, representing the financier, and General Charles A. Whittier, the president of 'It must not be understood." said Mr. China exhibits any feeling of opposi tion to Americans. The purchase of the concession, or rather the reimbursement of the stockholders, only expresses the J desire of the Chinese Government to build tlii railway, which is to be lo cated in one of the mot important parts of the Empire. There is sufficient capital among the merchants of ' that country to finance the undertaking, and it is extremely probable that foreign en gineers will be called in to superintend the construction.

THE FOARD & Astoria's Greatest Store im revulsion of feeling in regard to rail roads in China. Formerly the people did not want them and regarded them as the product of the 'foreign devils' but now this has changed. Like the Japa nese the Chinese have awakened to the fact that such method of transporta tnon are for their best interests and that in the wake of the railroad will come other equally beneficial innova tions."
