For the\ntime being it is used for nothing but\ncarrying troops und munitions of war,\nnnd \"the mail service whi^h began only\na few months ago has been temporarily\nstopped.\nThis Hue of 5450 miles has cost the\nRussian government over 100,000,000\npounds to build. No fewer than 76,\n000 men were employed in constructing\nthe chief section of 8,742 miles across\nSiberia In making the bridges and\ncarrying out various other works as\nmany as 104,889 tons of cement wore\nused\", and 9,000,000 sleepers and baulks\nof timber were employed in laying the\nrails and iu erecting the houses and\nstation buildings. To provide all this\nwood more than 100,000 acres of forests\nhad to be cut dowu. There were 800,000\ncubic fathoms of sand as ballaBt.\nTke total weight of the rails used in\nthe whole length of .the line has been\n1,235.936,000 pounds. Such an enormous\nfigure can convey very little meaning to\nthe mind ofthe ordinary person. Reck\noning the weight of tlie average inhabi\ntaut of a big town, men, women and\nchildren, at 7 stone 2 pouuds\u2014a very\nliberal allowance\u2014these railwav metals\nweigh three times as much as the whole\npopulation of London. At one place the\nrailway comeB to a stop at a big lake\n(Lake Baikal), which is 3,000 feet deep.\nIn th\u00ab summer the passengers are ferried across and join a new train at the\nother side In the winter, when the\nlako is frozen, they are taken across in\nicebreaking steamers; hut just at present the lines are laid along the ice s\u00ab>\nthat the train'may draw straight across\n5^>>:\n\u2014the only train in the world that can\ntravel with passengers over a frozen\nlake Strange to say, in th\u00ab whole of\nthe enormous length of this railway\nthere is but one tunnel.\nScores of thousands of persons of differ\nerit. nationalities were employed in\nbuildhu the line, and the Russian gov\neminent, being unable to get sufficient\nlabor through the ordinary channel-*,\nemployed convicts upon it^ one workman iu every five being a criminal.\nSome of these convicts\u2014about one in\nevery 20\u2014are still win ployed in different\nopacities, and many people have come\nto the, conclusion, in consequence, that\nthe line is not safe for travelling upon;\nbut only those convicts who hirw, served\ntheir time and satisfied the authoiitics\nas to good behavior for the future art'\ni-o engaged'\nA rually good and up to dateterminu-\nbeiug required for the line, the Russian\ngovernment built the town of Dalny\nspecially for it. There used to be nothing where Dalny is now, and the town\nwas built and equipped with public institutions, .parks and places of amusement before any body was allowed to inhabit it.\nWhen there is no war four trains\nstart every week from Moscow for Port\nArthur and Dalny, two \u00b0of them being\nrun by the Russian government and\ntwo by,a private company. The first\nclas9 fare for the whole journey in a\nsleeping compartment is 26 pounds, and\n18 pounds second class. Food is extra\nand for the. fortnight's travelling costs\nabout 7 pounds There are no smoking\nrooms and libraries on the trains, and\nthere are usually about 75 passengers in\neach train load Most things are cheap\non the train, except baths, which cost\n4s 3d a time There are three berths to\nevery first class apartment, and tour to\nevery second.\nThere is always a certain amount of\ndanger of the trains | being attacked by\nthe Chinese, and therefore special precautions are taken as on no other railway The whole line through Manchuria\nis guarded by many thousands of troops;\nand there are companies of armed men\nat every station. Besides this the train\nfor the \"last portion of the journey is\nprotected by bullet proof armor plates,\nwhich reach as high as the carriage windows, and a small body of soldiers is\ncarried.\nputrid neck stretched by American justice. Ti-ere was always a doubt of Mrs.\nMaybrick's guilt There is now not a\nuoubt ot ner hmocence. Lord Russell,\nEngland's Lord Chief Justice, was convinced of the woman's innocence, and\nwrote so after her conviction. The\njudge whose charge to the jury con\ndemned her was a. second Jeffrey, and\nwent insane after the trail; the judicial\nbeast was probably insane with Ameri-\ncophobia'whiii iiedelivered his spew to\nhis select British jury.\nThe prisouers efforts -at procuring a\npardon were systematically checkmated\nby methods time would shame a eunuch\nof the torture chambers of old Rome.\nAt one time when things looktd'fair for\na consideration of her case by the Home\nSecretary, some officious understrapper\nof the prison caused it to be reported to\nthe queen that Mrs. Maybrick's chastity\nwhile in prison was oi paste diamond\npurity, and John Brown's relict, despite\nher gray hairs, was thrilled by a virtuous spasm, and stopped all proceedings to the, prisoner's r. lief. 1 believe\nthe Guelph drab had much to do with\nthe prolonged punishment of an iuin.-\nci'.dt woman, for which may she be\nanathema forever and ever wherever\nshe may be\u2014and for other things. I\ndon't know whether Mrs. Maybrick will\never find her children or not, but 1 believe that she will, and that thu Almiglry\nwill put the light of recognition in the\nhearts and souls of both, mother and\nchildren, so that they.shall know each\nother from afar, and so knowing one\nanother, shall forget in their joy all\ntravail put upon them by a savage past.\nHotel\n.

IS   AUSTRALIA   DECAYING?\nThe reports which come from Australia indicate that the population is not\ngrowing at a satisfactory rate, says the\nLouisville Courier-Journal. The birth\nrate continues to doline, while the mortality among infants goes on increasing.\nMeanwhile, the emigration from the\nisland exceeds the immigration. The\nsmall immigration is in part due to .the:\nefforts of the labor element to prevent\nthe importation of workingmen. But\nwhile they are having their own in this\nrespect, they do not seem able to make\nconditions sufficiently pleasant to keep\nthe population which they already have,\ni here is a tide of emigration from New\nSouth Wales, which in six months exceeded 16,000, considerably more than\nthe number of immigrants. These emigrants go to CaUBda, the United States,\nand even to Great Britain, and their\nplaces are not supplied. Australia has\nan area more than sufficient for the\npopulation of the whole of Europe \\'et\nit has but 3,750,000 inhabitants, and at\nthe present rate it will take forty-six\nand one-half years to double that population, and 112 years to give it a population of 20,000,000. But even for this\nslow rate of increase the prospect is bad,\nfor the natural increase is at a continually diminishing ratio It is evident,\ntherefore, if Australia is ever to realize\nthahighesD hopes whichit-hus entertained of becoming a great and populous\ncountry there must be au essential\nchange in the present policy.\nDKP1ANUK.\nRespecting Coal and Petroleum lands in South-\nEast Kootenay.\nNOTICE is hereby given that licecnes to prospect for coal and petroleum upon and under\nlands situated within Block 4,603, South East\nKootenay, will be Issued forthwith to all persons\nwho,have made proper application, In pursuance\nof the provisions. of the \"Coal Mines Act\" and\namendments.\n- Tho fee for each licence will be WOO, and all\napplicants who have not deposited accepted\nbank cheques to cover that amount are hereby\nrequired to do so without further notice.\nLicences will be is.-ued In the following form,\nviz.:\u2014 (\n\"Mining Licence Issued under the Coal Mines\nAct and Amendments.\n\"In consideration of one hundred dollars now\npaid under the said Acts, and subject to the\nprovisions theroof.
