RA1I.R0ADI.NQ IN CHINA.
Its Difficulties sad Humors Apropos of Recea
Riots.
Mr. Cox. who was recently assaulted
near Peking, China, has had many
similar experiences during the dozen
years he has been railroad building in
the Chihll Province, and has ouly extricated
himself by dial of tact, pluck,
and good humor. He has practically
for years carried his life m his hand.
In 1S90, 'lor instance, during lloods,
a mob, led by the soldiery of Lutai,

.there |>vcro frequent outlets, was uf' ^
nonsense. T'revTous**to That, attempts
had lieen made to wreck trains, a* /
the lives of the foreign employes w*.^-\\
constantly threatened.
The life, too, of I he foreign guard on
a train is not always a happy one.
Mandarins" servants without tickets
take imsscssion of a lirst-class carriage;
eat. drink, sleep, and perform
other functions in It. Perhaps tliev
light a pan of eliareoal to warm themselves
if the weather is cold. Charcoal
has certain asphyxiating effects;
I he other passengers complain, and
iho servants have to be ejeeted. Too
iiiich violence might lead to a general
itlack on foreigners and another TlenI'sin
massacre; while too little would \
lot be effective. The unhappj' guard s\
uts to follow the "happy" mean lieween
a good hard push and a mild /
cuock-down blow.
