The projected route is from New York across North America to a point beyond | the northwestern boundary of the United * States; thence to Behring straits; across | there to the coast of Asia; across Asia and Europe. Tire great gap is at present across Siberia, where there is no rail road. However, the recent movements of the Russian government tend towards putting rails across this territory. From the western continent of Europe to the Ural mountains there is now communica tion by rail, and the czar of Russia is said to be much interested in two lines of railway # across* Asia. These roads terminate on the eastern shores of the Pacific, the one terminating at Oren burg, the other at Ekaterinburg. But in order to make the chain of railway around the globe complete, the distance from St. Petersburg to Behring straits must be traversed. This region has not yet a single line of railway. The Russian government, feeling the necessity of spanning this territory, has sanctioned a line of railway to be built across it, terminating at Vladivistock [ near Japan, almost due west from Port land; Ore. The continents of Asia and America are much nearer at this parallel than further south, but not near enough for the purposes of international railway communication. For this there must be a branch line leaving the Russian road a considerable distance west from Vla divistock and running up through Siberia to Behring straits. It is understood that the crossing of Behring -straits is perfectly practicable. In the narrowest place they arc but ten miles wide and are full of islands, so that bridges can be thrown from one to another. During a portion of the year the straits are open and cars could be crossed on boats the same as across the river between Detroit and Windsor, Canada. The principal American tract unpro vided for is across Alaska. As yet there is no move to traverse this country, which is almost an unknown wilderness. But with the rapid pushing westward on tho continent and the valuable products to bo gained from Alaska, it is probable that not many years will elapse before the American Pacific roads will be Ct nsus—Hale.

SIR RICHARD CARTWRIGHT, Contractors and Builders Canada’s Parliamentary Advocate of Com mercial Union with the United States. The oft suggested “commercial union” between the United States and the Do minion of Canada has at last reached the stage of tolerably active discussion on both sides of the line, for resolutions look ing towards it havo been introduced both into congress and the dominion parlia ment. The Hon. Benjamin Butterwortli, of Ohio, stands sponsor to the movement in congress, and Sir Richard Cartwright, of Kingston, may be called tho Butter- worth of Canada.

JjjJJ the 'cSS- dian and tho American evidently realized that they were dealing with a sensitive subject. Sir Richard Cartwright is a descendant of one of those Americans who found it expedient to leava the United States on the close of tlie Revolution—gentlemen commonly called “Tories” in the United States, but politely styled United Empire Loyalists in Canada, where their descend ants form a very honorable class. Though he resides in Kingston ho represents Ox ford county in the parliament. His father, Rev. R. D.
