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.

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.
