TUESDAY, MARCH 1 1901.

NOBODY KNOWS.

Nobody outside of the Government and

the Grand Trunk niagnates knows what are the new terms and conditions upon which the Government and the Company have agreed and which Parliament is shortly to_be asked to ratify. We all know that the original agreement has hiiled and broken down because the live

million dollar deposit which the Company agreed to put up months me was not forthcoming. 'I`iie Uauipaiiy, or rather its

directorate oilerei to put up certain Grand Trunk bonds, but this they had not the legal authority tn do, nor had they the express consent oi the Grand Trunk share- holders to appropriate these securities for that purpose. Parliament. could legalise the action, hut nobody knows whether the shareholders will empower their dir-

cators to put up the bonds in any ease.

The Montreal Witness tells that a giod many of the ministerial following at Ottawa would not be disappointed if cir- cumstances forced the Government to

build the new highway itself and then adopt whatever plan is considered best

for its management. This implies that an entirely new arrangement may he made. Then again we have it on the

authority of the Ottawa Free Press, the home organ of the Government, that the route originally proposed scuth of Lake

Nipigcn has been found unsatisfactory. Tcerc is there little land tit for agriculture

and apparently small mining prospects.The grades would not be of the nature laid down by the Charlton standard. Better

farming lsnd and much easier grades can be liai by going some 300 miles

further north. And Sir Sanford Fleming

The weak polntln this pre- cautionary proceeding would be if the Japs should happen to get hold of the ci- pher that tells where the stores are hidden

'l`he Russian soldiers are conveyed over

the Siberian Railway in box cars, with small windows cut in the sides, eaoh car being provided with a stove and sleeping hunks. A twenty-live car train will carry

about 36 soldiers per carori)00 in the train. This of course makes no allowance for

supplies, ammunition, horses or field guns. Roughly calculating seven trains to the mile, trains enough to carry 100,- 000 men would cover 16 miles of railway. At least hall as much more in the way of

train iiccomodatinn would be required for

gtiiis, hnggage, horses and their supplies for tlicjonrney, making 24 miles of en-

gines and cars. As many cars must necessarily be returned westward as are sent eastward, even if they come back

empty. Sidings are 25 to 30 miles apart. These facts and figures may give some conception of the traffic on the Siberian Railway which the war involves, and what must he the delay and trouble when

a car becomes derailed or any form of accident stops a train.

During ii long life time the heart will
