In view of the immense benefit accruing to
labor and sreheavy laden, and } will give you; azriculiure and commerce through the com-
pletion of the network of railways in the | United States, the Russian Government and | capitalists have been encouraged to under- ‘take a similar work for their large country, | The projoct is nothing less than a Russian Pacific Railroad. The originator of the | plan is Gen. Annenkoff. He proposes that the road should start from the eastern | slope of the Ural Mountains, at the city of | Ickaterinenburg, running through Siberia )aud touchiug the cities of Tobelsk, Yen- iseik and Yakutck. The road will termin- ate at the city of Nikolajen, and | will te connected by a branch road from | Yeniseik to Yakutsk and Kiachto with |China and the region of the Amoor River. | A second trunk line, starting at Astrachan,
| i
| will connect with Herat Persia, and India, A branch of this line will be built to Bok- | bara ani by way of Kashgar to Central Asia. These immense roads in length will aggregate 11,700 English miles, and the cost ‘is estimated at 1.000,000,000 rubles. It is | judged that this stupendous work will take ‘twenty years, so that every year 50,- 000.000 rubels will be expended on it. It is proposed that during times of peace the soidiers of the Empire shall be em- ployed in the construction of the road. The Czar has decided to appoint a commission for the purpose of investigating the project. It is believed that the proj ct has principally a strategic signifieance, for as the Russians have acquired Turkestan, with jts capital, Merve, in Central Asia, the would facilitate the massing of
road
| large bodies of troops for India and Asiatic Turkey. The Russian Pacific railroad, in
onnection with the other roads, will com- plete a great commereial chain with Europe, ‘Central Asia an? iudia. From the fort | Michailewski. cue of the best ports on the | Caspain Sea, tuere exists already a railroad | to Kisil Arvat, running through the most | wide nart of the projected line. This part
