The question OF the Suez Canal seems destined
again to occupy the attention of the world, and If
later events in Egypt turn out at all like the
shadows they are now casting before them the
affair may prove troublesome to Turkey. For the
welfare OF this country, which requires some years
OF peace and quietness In order TO be able TO reap
the benefit of recent innovations, l trust may
prove false prophet; but there Is certainly dark
SPOT rising over Egypt IN connection with the Suez
canal. which we shall hear more OF ere long, The

RUSSIA.
Railroad Statistics deficiency of the Means

Baron Delwigh has just published an account of
OF the railways OF Russia for the last two
years. He states that the traic oil 1888 carried
over 664 miles of governmental lines and 1872 OF
private lnes-the last having been traversed by
143 53S passengers in 1867, and s, 1899 in 1868
The amount of goods forwarded by the prlvaLe lines

1865 The gross receipts of all the private lines
about s5,42s, 37 ,465 roubles) for 1867 and
about G6666,522 45 665,742 roublesl for 1s6s,
showing thus an increase OF fl,237713. This
increase would probably be far greater II all the
man lines leading 10 Moscow and St. Petersburg
were provided with double rails. The lines of Mos
cow-Biazan and Moscow-Koursk are furnished only
with single rails that the accumulation OF goods
at different stations Is enormous. Very often goods
lie there for SIX and eight weeks before they are for
warded, and, of course, some of them are completely
spoiled Beef and all kinds OF provisions cannot be
conveyed at all under such conditions. RaZan and
Koursk, being both of them principal functions be-
tween several central and southern routes the Eng
lish capitalists connected with the railways beyond
these two towns cannot expect fair profit upon
their shares as long as the Moscow-kiazan and Mos
cow-Koursk lines have only one pair OF rails and an
insufficient stock OF locomotives and carriages.
