Still two more Chinese Government Railways have been put on the "wash-out"? list. In addition to the Tientsin-Pukow and the Peking-Mukden Railways, we sre now informed that the Lunghai and the Peking-Hiankow lines have received wash-outs, though not to as serious an extent as the other tw lines. Where the wash-outs hav occurred is not stated though it believed that Lunghai trains, have to stop at Shihmen, and that a bridge on the Pecking-Hankow line near the Yellow River has been washed away.
In reply to a telegram sent out by the management of the Shanghai-Nanking and Shanghai-Hangchow-Ningpo Railways, as to when service might be resumed, the TientsinkPukow padministiration reports that the water has not abated and that as soon as it goes down, repairs on the bridge, which are expected to take two days, will he-gin immediately. stains from Tien tsin are able to reach Heinchow and those from Pukow can go ax far as Pengpu. It seems that bridge between these two stations has been washed away. the rest of the line being flooded only. There is no truth in the report that repairs will take months to effect.
As soon as this bridge is repaired, normal service will be resumed.
Passengers who booked through passages from Shanghai and were compelled to return on account, of the wash-out of the Tientsin-Pukow line, have had their tickets extended and no charge was made for the trip to Pengpu and vice versa.
The Peking-Mukden line, we understand, has not yet resumed its services.
