excellent bridge built on pilrs and one which will be a credit to the public works of Prince Edward Island.

While examining the location from the

train lsstjsummer Hon.Jamss H.Oommns- kcy.0ommlasionnrof Public Works be- came convinced that a bridge could be built in comparatively shallow mud between two points about 125 yards further down the river than the present floating bridne. Two days ister he had the Government Engineer, H. C. Mollllian survey the ` location and the borings' that he made fully established the feasibility of the undertaking. Later while Hon. W. S. Fielding was here last winter the services of H. J. McKenzie were obtained and his borlngs taken through the ioe:wero iden- tical with those of Mr. McMillan who naturally felt pleased that his work d_one from a boat under dltilnuit conditions should corn spond with the more accurate borings through the ice.

During the fail the commissioner had

plans prepared by Mr. McKenzie ably as- sisted by Mr. McMillan and yesterday The Guardian had the privilege of seeing the result of their work on the proposed bridge.

The bridge will be one of the longest and

undoubtedly the best. traffic bridge in the Province. it will be 500 feat long between stakes, will be built on 32! pile benches, three piles to each bench and ‘is 400 feet between the obutments. The piles are to be oreosotedlfrom thelwawr up to five feel. nbove the surface of the mud. The lower part of the piles are to be fish spliced with any kinds of native wood. At the deepest place the borlnos indicate 33 feet of shell rock and below this the piles will be driven 2b feet into the rock.

There will be a' cirsw twenty-four feet

wide and in ten feet of water at high tide. This is to correspond with n draw that is shortly to he placed in the railway bridge further down the river. The top covering of the bridge will be ii inch spruce or hemlock with complete rail, curb, stnntions and hub guard.

To drive the piles a pile driver, of not

less than 15,000 lbs with 25 lest or more drop will be necessary .

Inls understood that the Government

will at once proceed to call for tenders and the work will be commenced lu a short time. When finished the bridge will probably be the most complete in the Island and add a substantial asset to the

Province._

It is known that Russia is using every endeavor to get France to

stretch all points in her favor.

FRANCE IS NOT NEUTRAL. ,

V It is noted that France has not made' any such neutrality state-

ment as the other powers and is allowing Russia to use Iibuti on the

Red Sea in French Somaliland as a rendezvous for her fleet.

WHERE JIBUTI IS.

French Somillland, of which jibuti is the port, is a territory of about

15.000 square miles. lying west of the Gulf of Aden and south of the Straits of Babel Mandeb.

COMMANDS RED SEA .

A strong fleet rendezvoused at Jubutil would command the

southern entrance to the Red Sea.

THE FOREIGN OFFICE UNEASY.

The British Foreign Ofhce is uneasy and is making all prepara-

tions for the outbreak of trouble at any time.

WHAT IT M AY MEAN.

By admitting the Russian fleet to rendezvous in her ports during

war France violates neutrality. gives aid and comfort to Russia and may thus compel Britain under the terms of her alliance with japan. to join Japan and treat France as an enemy.

WILL RUSSIA FALL BACK.

It is believed Russia will fall back on Harbin rather. than try to

protect the line of communication through Manchuria, and Will lea ve Port Arthur to stand a siege.

VVHERE HARBIN IS.

Harbin is situated on the main line of the Siberian Railway from

Moscow to Viadivostock and at the junction where the line through Manchuria to Port Arthur joins the main line and is about 500 miles nor. 11 of Port Arthur.

RUSSIANS ARE ALARMED.

The plan to retreat to Harbin convinces the Russian people of the

serious nature of the struggle now pending,
