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,
