Tha most serious question which Is troub
ling China tpday , ln herwar , with Japan Is
that of transportation. She has a big popu
lation , but it la.Bcattered over a country one-
tiUril Urger.'tlmn the whole United States.
This vast cxtfuit of territory has only ono
railroad , about 200 miles long. This runs
through one ot the most sparszly settled
parts of It , extcjiaing from the city of Ticn-
ffsln 'to the point where , the great Chinese
.wall Juts down Into the sea at the head f
the Gull of Peclilll , All of the traffic of the
rest ot the country is carried on In boats ,
carts and wheelbarrows , and China has no
means ot transporting largo masses of men
or provisions to feed them. The roads are
jriore- like ditches cut through the Holds than
anything clso. Thiy are full of ruts and'in
the rainy eeason'they are turned Into rivers.
It Is said that there are 4,000 roads in the
empire , but I venture to say that not one Is
' snacadamlzed ( and the great highway over
.which the caravans pass in going to Mongolia
Is the bed of a rocky mountain torrent , and
Iho brick tea , which , to the amount of
thousands of tons , Is carried Into Hussla and
Thibet , Is taken over mountain paths so
rough that only men con travel over theiq.
V\II the InlonnatlW- dispatches and malls
yhich go to the caHtl | ot China have to bo
carried over < Jlghur J.-nnd before the telo-
Kraph lines wcron'njv'lrljQ Peking important
certs waa sent from all purls ot the empire
fcy messengers with relays of horses.
Such a messenger service exists In BOITIP
parts ot China today ' , and It Is said that
Ktblal Kahn had 300,000 horsis which he
Bled for this purpose , and his relay stations
numbered 10,000. Borae ot the provisions for
Ihe palace at Peking are brought by relays
'Irotn Tlen-Tsln , and today the courier service
between China am ! Thibet Is by ponies.
Kha couriers travel night and day. Their
Clothes are sealed on them when they start
nd these seals cannot bo broken until they
liave delivered their messages. It Is said
Itint they are lilted from one horse to an
other at tha station and that they come-
, Umet die on the way from fatigue.
Nearly all th money transactions of China
[ re done in sliver , and I saw boxes ot
Ijiulllon packed Into curls and shipped from
| Sn town to another. Tha bullion was
[ BUl d up In Fine boxji , and such as I saw
being shipped out ct Peking did not have

connected with these bands and they
inted an escort to go with the money ,

are the most Interesting points In the present
struggle. If the Japanese could take them ,
the war would be practically iottled , and the
Chines" would change their rulers from Tar
tars to Japs. Both of these cities are not
very far from the -Tlen-Tsln | s flbout
flfty miles back up tho-Peiho river , and. Po
king lies about eighty nnlci to tha north
ward. Uotli cities ar froztn up during the
winter , and from December till Mirch there
la no communication except by rui' ' * curia and
ponies , which go overland from Sli.ingnal and
Cheefoo. I made jovesnl trips tlili spring
from Tien-Tsln to Peking , nnd It will give
you a good Idea at th sluiatlim In Phlna for
mo to describe the eomieetfoiis or trunk lines
between these two mlthty cities. Prklng Is.
you Know , the capital of the great Chinese
empire. It contains between 1.000,000 and
l.f.Ofr.OOO'people. . It Is wlidro the ruler of
500,000,000 almond-eyed mortals lives , und It
Is the grcateht beat of government on the
Globe. Tlen-Tsln Is the home of LI Hung
Clung. It la the Now York of North China.
It li the pnrt where are landed all the gooda
which Mipply these hundreds of millions of
the north and of those which are carried from
it far beyond the borders 9 ! the great wall
Into Manchuria , Mongolia and the great prov
ince of 111. Its Inhabitants number more than
1,000,000 , and upon Its wharves goods are
stacked like hay , aggregating In value every
year hundreds ol millions ol dollars , These
two cities ar ? about as far apart as are New
York and Philadelphia , nnd the land between
them Is as flat as the floor of a ball room.
All of the supplies of the capital. Including
those for the nobles and the court , come first
to Tlen-Tsln , nnd there Is a stream of goods
Tlowlng continually from one place to the
other fully as large us that which passes over
the railroads between New York and Chi
cago. Through \\hat channels does It flow ,
and how long does II take to go from on ? city
to tht > other ? I tra\elcd nearly two whole
days und nights In making my Journey by
land , and the > average trip by way of the
Pellio river is from four to five days. These
two cities have not even a. decent wagon road
connecting them. The slow freight is a
wheelbarrow , and the fast express is a Mon
golian pony or a Chinese cart.
THC HOUSE BOAT.
The Pullman car Is a house boat on the
Pclho river , but this lands you only at the
city ot Tung Chow , nnd you have to make
the remainder of your Journey by donkey or
cart I have traveled both ways , and I ran a
race In my house boat with the boat of Sec
retary John W. .Foster down the Peiho. We
both had American tligs floating from our
nmsthfMds , and my Hag reached Tlen-Tsln
first , The Pclho river winds , about like a
snake. It cuts In and out at places like the
teeth of a saw , and there ara points where
you can leave the boat , walk a half mile
across the fields and take a nap before It gets
around the bend to where you are. These
house boats are for hire at Tlen-Tsln
and at Tung Chow , and It costs from $10 to
$20 to make the trip to Peking , Each house
boat baa a lot of sailors and a captain , and
you carry your own cook and your own pro
visions.
My captain was over six feet In height.
He was clad In wadded blue cotton , and
his gown reached to his ankles. He lived
In the back of the boat , and my quarters
were in the middle. I slept at night under
a piece of matting , and my servant cooked
my meals. When the wind was In the
right direction we put up the &I1S , and when
it died down the sailors pushed the boat
along wllh poles which they dug Into the
bed of the river or fastened long ropes to It
rnd dragged U along by walking on the
banks. W did not know how long the
voyage was going to take , and we consid
ered ourselves happy In bavins made It in
( our days.
The Chinese- cart Is a surer means of loco
motion , but U U by no means to pleasant.
The roads are full of ruts. The Just iweepi
over you In storms a'hd your bonca ire
racked with the Jolting1 ot the cart. I doubt
whether there Is a clumsier vehicle In the
world , and certainly no other could stand
such roads. The Chinese cart has two
wheels , each sa big as the front wheel ot a
buggy , and each has a weight about ten
times as great. Tha wheels have massive
Iron tires. Their spokes are as big around
a > a base ball club , and the wooden axles
re as big r * rour arm where they coiuo

through the hub. The shafts are as lifrge
as telegraph poles , and they are fuM ned
directly to the axle , and the body of lho
cart rests upon them without s'prings. The
bed of one of these carts Is flve feet long and
four feet wide. You can not stretch yourself
out flat upon It without re-ating your.Jfbt' '
upon the shafts. There Is no seat connected
with. It and you lie or sit llat on tlie'lloor.
A llttlo box-like wall runs about the edge ot
the cart , and there Is a blue canvas covering
three feet high stretched over it. Sitting
upright , your ht.id almost grazes the roof ot
this , and It would be almost Impossible to put
a seat of any kind v.-ltliln the vehicle. Bach
of these carts' ! Is drawn by either one''or
two mules , \\hlch are fastened to the cart
by a harness ot rope and rawhide. When
t\.o mulea am used they always work tan
dem , as the road Is too narrow for a t\Vo- ,
liore team. The driver sits cross-legged
on the shafts , and directs the mules with a
pair of rope lines and a long whip.
LIVE LIKK CATTLE.
It. was In such an outfit that I went to
Pckltip. I had two carts and four mules
and the trip look me in the neighborhood of
forty-eight hows. I paid $18 for my carts ,
and I lud gieat trouble in getting them oti
account of the examinations vylilcli were
going on In Peking. I had secured two at $12.
While they were being brought to the hotel
one of tlie mandarins baw them and he
forcibly seized them for borne student friends
of his and I was left ojt In the cold. The
next duy I had my Chinese servant g" out
on the road about ten miles beyond llio city.
He waited there till two good carts came
along and then smuggled these Into the
hotel in a roundabout way. , so that the
mandarins could not tee them. We started
at 4 o'clock in the morning , and after snnio
tea and toast by ihe light of the candle I
inspected my outfit. You will not nee more
villainous lares in any rogun'a gallery than
those of my mulelei'i-.i , and an for the niulos ,
Itanium's woolly horse had a coat of silk
compared to theirs. My" tedding and mtn-
bles were put Into one carl and my Chinese
boy crawled In on top of them. 1 took the
second , and befote daybreak we were ready
to start. We dro\e for tnllfs through the
city of Tlen-Tsln Just ut dawn , and had a
chancb to se how the poorest ot these
500,000,000 people look when ro-islng
thcmselven for another day of their
everlasting hustle. Men In shrepskln coats ,
locking more like animals than humans , tilled
the btieets. Already coolies were pushing bar
rows over the rough pavements , and other
laboiers were carrying mighty loads on
poles across their shoulders. In the suburbs
we rode through lines of hovels out of which"
disheveled Chinese men and women crawled
and looked at us with blinking eyes. We
passed tha homsa at thousands ot squatters ,
and as we drove along the river we saw
that It was lined with little kennel-llk
sheds made ot bamboo matting. Many ot
these tvero not larger than a dog house , and
those the side of a hogshead looked palatial
beside them. Many wcro bait cylinder * of
matting just about largo enough to cover a
cider barrel and long enough for their own
ers to crawl in and sleep. A screen of
nigged lil-ie rottnn formed the front ot
these huts , and all the cooking of the own-
era had to bo doni outside. U was cold and
I shivered In my overccc.it. I taw one
family lighting n Urn. lliey bad no matches
and were trying to Ignite the need with a
flint. Another hut bad a Jlnrlklslia In front
ot It. This was the size of a baby carriage ,
and Its top wajs a foot above the root of the
house. In some places there were holes dug
in the earth and matting placed over them.
The walls ot the city formed the back of
many of theia begcnrs' horoei , and others
were built against the banks ot the river.
You find beggars * c artero outside ol every
ChlneSe oily , but there uro few pi ares where
the poor suffer more than they do In north
China. Tien-Ttln Is as cold as Minneapolis ,
and these holes covered wllh straw malting
are the homes ot thousands.

the holes. There must have been thousands
of these workmen. They probably got less
than 10 cents a day us wages. They worked
under overseers , and they sang as they
worked. I was much Interested In the way
the road was pounded down. A round disc
of metal or Ftone about three Inches thick
and as big around as a tobacco keg was
raised by eight men by means of ropes ,
which were tied to holes In its edges , A
ninth man sang a song as the gang worked ,
and ata certain note they \\ould pull on
their ropes , sling the disc high In the air
above their heads , and let It fall with a
thud. In other places the road v.as pounded
down with mallets , and the stones were
crushed by half-naked Chinamen , who
raised heavy sledges high In the air and
brought tliem down \\llh a tlnimp. I was
surprised how fast the men worked and
what great quantities of canli can be- car
ried In baskets. They swarmed over the
road like bees and each human ant added
his mite to the pile. The road was made
entirely ct mud , and there was no pretense
of macadamizing or any sort of a permanent
structure. The roads grow worse from
year to year and they areby no means so
flno today as they were 300 jears ago.
The ninety-mile ride from Peking to Tlen-
Tsln vtas through one continuous stream of
carts , wagons , wheelbarrows nd men. Many
of the wheelbarrows had donkeys hitched in
front of them and men. pushing behind
them , and on some parts of the great iihln
they actually use sails In , order to help the
wheelbarrows along. I got a photograph of
a scene of this kind and the stiff wind which
was blowing materially aided this Chinese
freight car on Its way. There were hundreds
of mandarins riding on donkeys. They were.
dressed In silk gowns of green , yellow and
blue , and some of them sneered , turning up
their yellow noses , and make faces such as
ara only possible to Chinese physiognomy.
SQUALOR REIGNED SUPJ1EMI3 ,
We passed many villages. The farmers
of China da not live- upon their farms. They
have squalid houses bunched up together
with fences of mud about them , and there
are no signs of comfort anywhere. The
houses are of sun-dried brick , plastered
with mud and roofed with long rows of
reeds , which are tied In bundles and laid
side by side on these rafters and then are
plastered with mud. These roofs reach
about a foot beyond the wallt of the houses ,
and you have usually to duck your head
If you wish to got under thorn. The ImtB of
the poorer clauses are often not more than
fifteen feet square. There arc no windows
facing the street , and the only sign of life
IB a thin wreath of blue'smoke that curls
out of the mud chimney , 'of the shape of a
gallon crock , which eUn&s on the roof. It
would be very bad taste' to look over the
fence of a Chinaman's house , but I was

Bonnie Prince Charlie was the name given
to Charles II. of England , third of the Stuart
kings , who reigned over Cngland , Ireland ,
Scotland and Wales.
The eldest son of an Bngllsh king Is al

Victoria is now known. But so full of frolic ,
so llghtheartcd and so good looking was
this young prince that ho was everywhere
known as "Bonnie Prince Charlie. "
gance. Charlie was used to plain clothes ,
that he might play tennis or race through
the forests , to eat with tha huntsmen and
help cook the food , but here. In the French
court he had to wear velvet and satin , big
hats and waving plumes , silk stockings and
gold buckles. He liked It all until he heard
that his father , Charles I. , had baen beheaded
at the tower in London then he knew that
he Donnle Prlnco Charlie was no longer
a little exiled lad , but the king of four coun

But how could he 'proclaim hlmself , king ?
The country was in the hands of Oliver
Cromwell , who represented the Calvlnlstlc
church , a man who Insisted that there was
"no dUlne right of kings , " and that the
country should be > governed by two Parlia
ments Just as it is today. Charlie had no
money to raise armies ; his cousin could not
help him , for that would put the two coun
tries at war , and when men are kings they
have to remember their country first of all.
The only relief was to go to Scotland by
way of Holland , so the English couldn't
catch him , and beg the men who vere true
to the Stuarts to follow him from their
country Into England. The Scots did this
willingly , and Prince Charllo passed Groin-
well , who was In Scotland , and worked his
way Into the heart of England. Many of

CHARLIE AND HIS SISTERS.
Troubles came early In life to the young
prince the kingdom was In a turmoil over
church troubles nnd. as Charlie's mother
waa a French Catholic , she -was exiled Into
Paris , where * hd lived with toer young
nephew , Louis XIV.
The prince himself was put Into the care
of a man In the country and grew up with
his brothers In the lull enjoyment of country
life. Nona of the usual court restrictions
were about htm. He learned to swim and
shoot and hunt like any English squire's
son , and his rough life stood him In good
stead In later days , when he needed all his
muscles to help hlnr.
But his mother , who was called Queen
Henrietta , was pining to see him In Paris ,
and ho was cent there to her. He was then
about 14 , and the glitter and polish of the
French court dared him , He was not uied
to all this elegance and ceremony , where
the little king , t ho was afterward to be
called "the Grand Monarch , " was beginning
