FOOTNOTES:
[Footnote BF: _i.e._ New Year, New Year.]
[Footnote BG: _i.e._Great Man. "Ding" is my Chinese name.]
[Footnote BH: I believe personally that the main object of the Yuen-nan
provincial government in employing two American engineers, who at the
present moment (August, 1910) are surveying a route from Yuen-nan-fu to
the Yangtze, is merely official bluff. It is preferable to pay two men a
monthly stipend if the official "face" can be preserved and the Chinese
dogged official procrastination be maintained, rather than to allow
foreigners to come in still farther.]
[Footnote BI: This was of course written long before the Four Nations
Loan was signed, and Tuan Fang appointed Director General of the
Railways in May, 1911. We should now see a speedy reformation of Railway
matters in China if Tuan is given an absolutely free hand.--E.J.D.]
