A GREAT RAILWAY PROJECT.
BohIo A bint to Consult One From St.
Petersburg Through Siberia to the Pa¬
cific Oc*tqp
St. Petersburg, June 17.—The glory
of transcontinental railway is not to bo
confined for many years more to the new
world. The old world, too, is soon to
have one on a scale as grand as the
Atlantic and Pacifio railways of America.
Needless to say that the new enter¬
prise is projected by Russia; Snd its
magnitude and cost ore such aa fairfy to
take away the breath of some of our
European financiers. When the grand
scheme was first projected, its oost was
estimated at the snug sum of *400,000, -
000 .
After years eff preliminary investiga¬
tion it Is now estimated at just about
twice as much, and the sum does not
seem to be excessive when we remember
that the distance from the Atlantic to
the roads, Pacific, covered by the American
is not much more thau ono-third
as great aa between the same two oceans
on Russian territory.
The route, when completed, will be

numerous; they will be required to be
of an enormous strength. On the Yeni-
sil, for example, there is a current of
tremendous rapidity, and where the ice
breaks up in tiie spring it is whirled
down the river in literal icebergs and
with a velocity which would be a severe
test of the strength of any bridge now in
existence.
In some respects the trans-Siberian

may yet have a more significant
effect as a means of military strategy.
It will virtually lay China at tiie feet of
Russia. The star of empire may soon
