THE .AWAKENING OF CHINA.
Eighteen years ago the only rail
way in China, a 14-mile line from
Shanghai to Wu&ung, was toin up
and abandoned. Native prejudice
and superstition were too strong for
the British promoters, and they
abandoned the field in disgust.
But the world moves, even in "far
Cathay." Five years later," says
a publication just issued by the
United States treasury bureau of
statistics, "an English engineer who
had been placed in charge of
some coal mines near Tientsin, found
in existence a tramway over which
coal was transported on c:irs pushed
by Chinese woikmen, and gradually
extending it north and south, finallj'
placed a steam engine upon it for
use in transporting coal." Native
prejudice gave way, the line became
even popular, was extended from
time to time, and is now. 350 miles
long, connecting the capital of the
empire with two of the important
treaty ports on the coast,
This is the only completed railway
in China, but native superstition
having yielded, and the Chinese
government manifesting a disposition
to grant concessions and encourage
the construction of an extensive rail
way system, capital is going in there
from all the great powers, and more
than 3000 miles of railway, extend
ing to all parts of the great awaking
empire, have been projected
The concessions under which these
roads will be constructed have been
granted to Russian, British. German,
Belgian, Italian, French and Ameri
can promoters. British interests pre
dominate. In one instance British
and German capitalists have formed
a combination, and, in another, Brit
ish and Italian promoters have joined
bauds. Of the American concessions
the treasury publication says
"American railway concessions in
China are up to the present time
confined to' a single but very im
portant line which is to connect
Canton, the great commercial center
of Southern China, with Hankow, the
great interior city and commercial
center already described. This line,
which is about 600 miles in length,
passes through a rioh and important
agricultural section, Laving a popnla
tion equal to that of the United
States, and at its center taps an im
portant iron and coal area. The
direction of the proposed line is al
most due north and Poutb, and while
it practically touches the seahoard at
its southern terminus, where it' reach
es the Yangtze, at the north, is
several hundred mile; in the interior,
thus bringing to the great port of
Canton the products of the upper
Yangtze vallej', which section is quite
similar to that of the upper Mississip
pi, in our own country. At Hankow
the proposed American line will con
nect the proposed Belgian line, which
will bring it into direct communica
tion with Pekinr the" capital' ""of ' the
empire, thus placing in direct corn-
tnanicatlon the capital of1 the empire
t the north, the great commercial
center, Hankow, in the Interior, and
the great producing center in the
western interior, with the great sea
port at the south, Canton. This con
cession was granted to American
capitalists in April, 1898, under an
agreement executed after due im
perial sanction by the present Chinese
mirister at Washington, and a . corps
of. engineers and officials is, now in
China, under the charge of W. B.
Parsons of New York, engaged in an
elaborate survey of the route, which
it is expected will be completed
within a few weeks."
The construction of these pro
jected railways, and the fuller de
velopment of steamer traffic on the
6000 miles of Chinese waterways
now open to the traffic of the world,
must revolutionize the vast empire.
The products of China will be ex
changed for the products of America
and Europe. A market will be pro
vided there for the wheat, lumher.
silver, coal, lead and iron of the
Pacific coast, and extensive lines of
cen steamers will bear a large part
of the tonnage between Puget sound
and the Columbia river and the ports
of China.
All this will bring astonishing
growth to the Pacific northwest, and
Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and Port
