CHINESE RAILWAY
GETS $60,000,000
FROM AMERICANS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—Details o
tKe proposed new American $60,000,
000 loan for railroad construction ii
China, twice the size of any previou
similar loan, and arranged with a viev
to increasing the republic’s total rail
road mileage by 50 per cent, were dis
closed in detail here today by David S
Rose, counsel for the American inter
ests, after the publication of dispatch
es from Peking indicating conclusioi
of the agrement. Mr. Rose was pres
ent during most of the negotiation:
and drew up the contract which no?
has been signed.
Under the agreement, Mr. Rose said
the Siems-Carey company, of St. Paul
Minn., contracts to construct as sooi
as possible, with money furnished b;
the American International corpora
tion, 1,500 miles of railroad througl
the richest sections of China, and ob
tains an optional contract to build an
other 1,500 miles later. China at pres
ent has but 6,000 miles in the whoh
empire.
No Official Information.
No official information has reache<
the state department or interested dip
lomats concerning the arrangements
Officials of the department say, how
ever, that the loan and contract proba
bly would not conflict in any way will
the new Japanese-China treaty, am
there apparently is no disposition ii
diplomatic quarters to believe that Ja
pan or Great Britain would undertak
to interfere.
Estimating the cost per mile at $40,
000, completely equipped, the Siems
Carey contract calls for an expen :li
ture of $60,000,000 with the possibilit;
of doubling that amount if the optio:
is taken up. The largest previous loai
inChina’s history was the Hukuanj
loan of 1911 by German, British
French and American bankers total
ing about $30,000,000.
Negotiations for the new projec
were started last May during the visi
in China of W. F. Carey. Agreemen
virtually was reached through Tsao Ji
Liang, the minister of commerce, jus
before the death of President Yuai
Shi Kai. Late in May Mr. Carey re
turned to this country and durinj
July completed* arrangements for thi
financing of the undertaking througi
the American International corpora
tion in New York.
No Specific Location.
The contract does not call for an;
specific location for the new lines, bu
leaves that open to later discussion
Pending advices, however, sugges
that they are to be built largel;
through the rich mineral and minini
provinces of Shensi, Kansua, Hunar
Kwangsi, Kwangtung and Chek'anj:
which are largely in the British an
French spheres of influence in Chins
Engineers are already at work and or
ders are expected shortly in this coun
try for construction materials.
The loan is to be secured by th
property in the road itself, and not b
any concession or government guar
antees.
Surprise over the announcement o
such a tremendous project was expres
sed here, for the recent failure of
loan of $30,000,000 to the Chinese gov
emment because American financier
to show apathy among bankers her
could get better terms abroad seeine
toward development in China. More
over, since President Wilson’s an
nouncement at the beginning of hi
administration that the terms of th
so-called six-power loan jeopardinze
the integrity of China, causing th
American group to retire,Chinese ir
fluences have sought in vain to floa
a loan in the United States.
AMERICANS WILL BE
GIVEN HIGH HONOR
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—In an ar
nouncement made tonight, giving th
details of the contract for the cor
struction by the Siems-Carey Railwa
& Canal Company, of St. Paul, of
railroad for the Chinese govemmen
the American International Corpora
tion, which is financing the projec'
says that the government has agree
to the appointment of an America
chief engineer for the surveying an
construction of the line and that late
he will act as chief engineer of th
railroad. The Chinese govemmer
also has agreed to the appointment e
Americans as auditor and traffi
manager.
The railway is to be built betwee
points to be agreed upon after inve:
tigation and pains will be taken, th
corporation says, “to avoid interfei
ing with any agreements coverin
railway construction which may hav
been entered into by the Chinese go\
eminent with the various foreign go\
emments or financial groups.”
The American engineer is to be ai
pointed soon and will proceed to Chin
immediately. Probably a year wi
