SIBERIA'S GREAT ROAD MOST REMARKABLE ENGINEER ING FEAT OF THE CENTURY FIRST FULL DESCRIPTION Where the Monster Track Runs, How It Is Built and the Work Yet to Be Done The name of Siberia will soon suggest something besides frozen wastes, suffering convicts and semi-barbarism. Clvillzaton, as Russia knows it, lias stretched forth a hand in the shape of a railroad through the neglected laud, and the lovely region is to lie peopled by immigrants sent there by the government. The building of this road means a great deal to the world. Russßin aggression has been more perslstent'slnee the work neared accomplishment. Britain has Jealously watched Its progress with an eye to the strengthening of her Indian bor der defenses, and Asiatic nations have looked tearfully forward to trouble wUh tlie Russian bear, now that the railroad has bridged the gulf between ihem and the home of the czar. It will in- seen, there fore, that the following article, the lirst to describe in full the great engineering feat that is fraught with so much meaning to the world, is at this time of especial In terest. ' ST. PETERSBURG, July 20.—(Special Correspondence to The Herald). In th? whole of Siberia there are not many more people than there are In Greater New York, and yet you might put all the I'nited States within lip boundaries without touching th edge anywhere, and 1111 up the gaps and odd cornrrs with all the states of Europe west of Russia, it is an enormous tr-rrt tory, in fact, in which no one district ran be taken as representing the rest, so that the most contradictory opinions concerning it appear in books according to the locali ties visited by the writers. In a general way It ran be divided into three zones running right across. To the north the Tundra, stretching Inland from the Arctic sea, swampy and treeless, rang ing from 150 to 400 miles in width. Then the Taiga, throwing its spurs northward along the river valleys, as in its turn it Is broken into the arable lands to the south. This is the Siberian forest. "Siberian poplars." says Mr. J. Y. Simpson, "with ash-gray stem and' quivering leaves; spruces, with their regular isosceles triangle contour and dark shading; giant larches, towering above their fellows; cedars, whose pecu liar branches arc crowded with knob-Ilk* bunches of green needles: Scotch llrs, with cinnamon-colored upper trunks, toning down to somber iron gray; the oriental pitch pine, and, toward the outskirts, birches with pure white gentle stems, or moisture-loving alder—these form the body, while the padding is largely left to the small but graceful Siberian spruce, with smoother bark and darker leaves than the ordinary spruce Mr. It Is a place of gloom below and silent conflict in mid-air." Through It and the third zone of rich agri cultural land mi which it borders runs the .in!W railway that Is to open up the coutry Ito colonization, as the Canadian Pacific is ' doing fort western Canada, This wonderful railway, the longest ever built by a government, has nothing to pay for Its land, nothing to pay for parliament ary expenses, legal charges or compensa tion, anel is not expected to yield a divi dend for a generation. The great project took about forty years to think out. anel was not of native origin. Soon after Muraviev carried Russia to the Pacific seaboard by annexing the mouths of the Amur, an English engineer offered to lay a tram road across Siberia. In IS 1 ,? Collins, the American, came forward with his scheme of the Amur Railway company, from Irkutsk to Chita, which Is to form part of the present line. Next year three Englishmen, Messrs. Morrison, Hern an 1 Sleigh, proposed to build a railway frnm Moscow, through Ni.inl Novgorod, to Tar tar bay. Hut in their case, as in the others, nothing wo.« dune beyond a polite acknowl edgment c heir suggestions, which were accepted as stimulants to native energy. As it hail become obvious that, as was only natural anel politic, the railway would be entirely a Russian enterprise, foreign its ceased to apply, and plan after plan was submitted by Russian projectors, until sufficient information had be en obtained to warrant the appointment of a special com mission, on whose recommendation the Eu ropean Urns were, in 1878, extended across tin' Urals to Ekaterinburg, and four years later tn Tlumen, which was at first Intend ed to i» th- departure point nf th,. route to the- Pacific. Further surveys were then made, and the' outcome was the* railway now being built, which was estimated le c.ist 850,000,000 rubles, and will almost cer tainly cost more. Throughout its h-ngih It keeps well to the south, that for military reasons It may skirt (he frontier, and for commercial pur poses It may run through the richest coun try .end cross the chief rivers as near their Sources as they are navigable. The main line from St. Petersburg runs through Mos cow to Rlazan, and thence onward, cross ing the Volga at Samara and theßlelaya at Ufa, to Miass. and down to Chellablnsk, where the Great Siberian begins. When th. enterprise was under final considera tion the choice had to be made between three routes; but as all the three would In evitably meet near Nljni Udlnsk, the short est—that through Miass, anil not that through Tlumen—was determined on. The new line thus crosses the Tobol at Kurgan, the Ishlmat Petropavloskand ihe Irtish at Omsk, where the bridge ■ 700 yarels long anel the embankment forty fee t high. It then goes through Kalnsk, north of Lake Ch-ani, to Kollvan, where it crosses the Obi and 1 turns northeastward to Atch- Insk. Beyond! Atchinsk the country is mountainous and ihe road is one long suc cession of cuttings, embankments anu bridges over ravines. The Great Siberian, for the purpose of organization, hears different: names In dif ferent portions of Its center, From Cho llablnsk to the Obi It is the Western Si berian; from Obit to Irkutsk it Is the Mid dle Siberian; from Irkutsk to Mysovskaya It is the Baikal; from Mysovskaya to Btre tensk it is the Transhaikal; thence to Kha haravka It is the Amur, and then follow the- North Ussuri to Vladivostok. The Baikal is the central line; east of it the works were begun at VlaeMvostock; most of it they ibegan at Chellablnsk, and west ward and eastward to it the lines are being brought so that It will be the connecting link. ln 1891 anel 1892 the West Siberian and South Ussuri were begun; in 189,1 the Cen tral Siberian was taken in hanrl'; in 1899 the work will be ln full swing on the Trans balkal and Amur; and ln 1900, If no other route can be found, It is to be started'on , the Baikal, which, though under two hun kdred miles long, is expected to take four /years to finish. The West Siberian Is open throughout; the Middle Siberian Is open to Nijnl TTdinsk, and' will soon be running trains Into Irkutsk. The Amur line is rather hanging Are, owing to the much more promising route afforded hy the Trans-Manchurian; but the Ussurl section, as already stated, has been in working or der for some time, and .short as It may Appear on the map, tt exceeds 470 miles in length. Its otitflt, like that of the other eastern sections, had to be brought by sea and river; hence, as the rails are laid 1 the rate Of construction increases. On the west, where the plant was delivered by rail ai.d road, there is also an Increase in the rate of construction, but ln a less degree; here branch lines were made connecting with the foundries In the Urals, so that tho .steel and Iron required could be easily got on to the new road, ar.d in many In stances where materia! hadj to be brought up by steamer, wharves'were hullt by ihe rivers and branch lines run tn them. In 189." there were t',2.000 men employed on the line, of whom nearly 37,000 were nav vies, but more were really at work for It For Instance, the minister of agriculture has to surxply and deliver free the timher that may be required, and the amount of this is considerable; for, strange as It may seem, all sleepers have been sawed out by hand, thus making much waste, the log being rested on two props with one man standing on It while another pulls the saw down to him below. .Many other primitive arrangements have been, of necessity, adopted. In driving piles, for example, the plledrlver Is In many tases a lofty tripod with, a pully through which runs a rope, with at one end a wheel and at the other a flat stone that is dropped onto the pllehead' as if it were a monkey, only there are no grooves and no catch. The barrows, too, are often without wheels, being merely pushed along a wel plank. In some of the groups of navvies the whole evolution of the spade can be sren, some of the party using long handli <i wooden shovels, others having the woorlen blade protected with a strip of tlnplate or sheet Iron, and others having an Iron blade. The western road Is mostly of sand and clay, and the ballast consists of 14 per cent of clay. The sleepers are much squarer than Americans are accustomed tn and thicker, and have the broad-based rails spiked down on to them. This necessitates the sleepers being at equal Intervals and closer together than ordinarily, so that great lengths of rail have to be pried up together to make good the ballast where it may have sunk or been wushed away. The line Is a single one at present, but It is Intended to double it in time. On the banks the earihworks are sixteen feet wide, In the cuttings they are seventeen feet six Inches. The ballast Is ten inches deep and the rails weigh sixteen or eighteen pound* to the font—a very light line to what we are accustomed to In this country, and which will have to he replaced by a heavier 1 one If the trains are lo be run at any speed. As the roael was made- the- bridges were built last and Ihe trains were worked in the different sections, the passe ngers being fer ried across the rivers from section to sec tion In the summer and carried in trains across the ice in winter. On this principle It Is expected that there will be steam com munication all along the route seme tlmo during 1900, the intention being to travel to Irkutsk by rail and on by the short line to Listvlnltchna on Lake Baikal, which wili be crossed by steamer to I.ysnvskaya. where the train will be taken again to Btretensk, whence the steamboat on the Amur will continue tlie journey to Khaba rocka, and from there the train will com plete the trip. One feature of the line is the number of large rivers it crosses at right angles. Si beria Is a land of line waterways, which of late have been much developed Among the many schemes which led up to the transcontinental line- was that by Qstrov skl, which met with much favor. His plan was to lay a railway between Perm and To bolsk, thus uniting the Kama and Irtish, between Tomsk and Krasnolarsk, thus con necting the Olei and Yenisei, and between Omsk and Barnaul, thus joining the Irtish to tlie Obi. ln this way he obtained a per fect network of internal communicaton by river and rail; and on Ills system, though not exactly in the places he suggested, much has be en done anel Is b. ing done-. An other work on the same lines, which will have great results, is Funtusov's canal con necting the Ket with the- Pass on the paral lel of Yenisei. Tills canal, difficult to make, but only five miles long, will lead from the- Obi to the- Yenisei anel open up a waterway of over 8000 mil- s, joining Tim sen with Irkutsk and Intersecting the whole of western Siberia. Another useful canal has been proposed by Captain Wiggins, whose work In con nection with opening up tie' sea route into Siberia Is well known. Tills canal would cut through th.- isthmus of Zallnall opposite that made across the Isthmus. Captain Wiggins is an optimist with ru gard to Blberla, his preconceived notions of which were, according to his account, ut terly fallacious. He- had pictured to him self a barren, Inhospitable- climate, unlit for any human being except the'offenders against the law who were c e-mpe lied to live there, and who had necessarily to suffe-. much privation. Instead, lo- sacs. "1 found settled communities with municipal govern ment enjoying every amenity of civilized life, some living, not only in expensive lux ury, but even in extravagance"—ln fact, there exists in the towns a civilization equal to what is to be fuund in any part uf Eu rope. It was in 1874 that Captain Wiggins started to open up th- Kara sea route, it was a p. r llous voyage toward its close, one long con tinuous battle willi ice ar.d tempest. The crew were worn out and Inevitable disaster seemed to threaten them. The- we ek ended Ir. gleom. Sunday morning came, and tin re was talk of abandoning the attempt; but. pointing to the Bethel Hag of the- British an.: Foreign Sailor.-' socle ly lie- had hoisted, the captain summoned tlie ocvw to service, and after preaching from tlie te-xt, "Be of good cheer, It is 1, be not afraid," he called for volunteers to finish the Journey. The whole crew agreed to go on with him. and the Kara sea was entered with the Bethel Hag ■lying. Twelve years afterward he made his wonderful voyage two thousand miles up the Yenisei to Yeniseisk. An article on Siberia without some refer ence to tlie convicts may be- unusual, but it must be enough here to point out that in one respect the railway will certainly ame liorate their punishment by rendering un necessary tlie wearisome- march of thou sands of miles across the snow, an dabolish- Ing the lnng river voyages In the menagerie like barges. The prisoners are already being sent by rail as far as the line goes, am' there are not a few sanguine philanthro pists who hope lhat lie-fore the railway Is completed the deportation system will have ceased lo exist. Petroleum Shells Madrid.—lt 1? declared In re that the American warships which engaged Admiral Cervera's squadron at Santiago used pe trnlenm shells similar to those that were employed hy Admiral Dewey at Cavite, and these caused the lircs that broke out in the Spanish ships. The newspapers, commenting upon this statement, urge the government to use the same kind of shells against the Americans, If they attack Spanish cities, rather than tn futllely protest to the powers against the employment of such means nf destruction. —Special cable to the New Yurk Sun. LOS ANGELES atr». SDWAY MORNING, AUGUST 7, 1898 HUNTED FROM HOME (A True Story of the War.) CHAPTER I. "Henry when the cook's month is up I want you to discharge her, and that very peremptorily, too!" As Mrs. Honeymoon spoke the stirring words with which this story opens a look of Iron determination hardened the some what effeminate contour of her hus band's fair young face. "Kismet!" he murmured, and grew pale. CHAPTER 11. "Hortense! De brave, my little darling! Prepare yourself for the worst!" With two swift kicks, so close together that they seemed hut one, Henry Honeymoon threw off his shoes, revealing a pair of government hose. "You have enlisted!" she cried, with a piercing shriek, and swooned. Madly leaping over her prostrate form the raw recruit rushed away into the night. CHAPTER 111. Have you ever seen an army camp by moonlight, dear reader—a city of canvas c hanged to Parian marble by silver radi ance? No? Well, neither have I! In a tent two men sit talking by the light of a flickering candle. "Honeymoon!" sternly said tin- taller, "in battle your teeth chatter, your face whitens, your knees tremble and you fali to the ground! Honeymoon, you are a coward! Come. man. confess it to your self, ami let me get you a discharge, that you may go home!" "No!" cried the wretched man; "No, no! Not that! Not that!" CHAPTER IV. Peace atlast! Peace and victory! Pale and showing signs of hard wear. Mrs. Honeymoon sits In the baywlndow, wait ing—patiently waiting. Hark! The. sound of clattering hoofs, a cheery call, rushing footsteps, the door flies open, and "Henry!" "Hortense!" CHAPTER V. The violence of the first emotion has somewhat abated, and they sit fondly gazing Into one another's eyes, drinking love and joy. "Henry!" It is the voice of Mrs. Honey moon. "Now that you ate back " "The cook!" ho cried. "She has been discharged ?" "No, dear! I waited for you to come back." He rose, pale, but firm. "Good by, my darling!" he softly whispered. "What!" she murmured, in Incredulous horror. "You " "I have enlisted for another three years!" As Henry Honeymoon walked away to make good there was ln his eyes the look of a hunted stag.—George Ed waul Creel ln the New York Evening Journal. For a British-American Flag From the brain of a Boston girl, by name Miss Barbour, lias emanated a suggestion for a British-American Hag emblematic of the good feeling cf the times. The de sign consists of a diagonal hajf of the Stars and .Stripes met hy a diagonal half of the Union Jack, the partition crossing frnm the upper left hand corner to the lower right hand corner. If the English papers are to be believed, the Rritisli are much pleased by the suggested banner nf alli ance. One ot them goes so far as tn re mark that Boston seems to regret the tea it once threw Into the harbor, adding: "All right. Brother Jonathan, we'll forg-t 11. t,,0." The Huston girl has remained true to her traditions in on.- respect, how ever. The two Hags are, sure enough joined together, and the space occupied by each la equal, but It Is noticeable that the Stars and Stripes nr.—when- they al ways are—on top.—New York Evening Sun. Abused His Wife A tele phone message was received at the police station early this morning, asking that an officer In- sent to arrest W. T. Courtney at 2215 Enterprise street, as he was abusing his wife. It appears that Mrs. Courtney has he-en ill ;is the result oi a recent operation unci her husband went home Intoxicated last night, and began abusing her in a shameful manner. He applied terrible epithets to her and carried bis aims.- almost to th.- point of striking the helpless woman. When Officer Sparks ar rived With the paired wagon he found the woman was unconscious from the fear and shod: of her husband's outrageous ac tion. Courtney was charged with disturbing the peace.
