We publish this morning highly inter-
esting article illustrated by map, both OF
which were recently printed in the st.
Petersburg Golos, whose issue for the day
was seized by the Russian police in order
to prevent the article from reaching the
public, 1t is no less than carefully pre-
pared description of certain practicable
routes to British India which can be fol-
lowed without much difficulty by Russian
army of invasion. Notwithstanding the
vigilance with which the issue Of the jour-
nal was guarded by the police agents OF st.
Petersburg we have taken pains to secure q
copy of the Goios, from which We have
translated the article and accurately copied
the map, Our readers will readily per-
ceive how we'll acquainted the Russians
are with the character of the country which
must form the field Of operations against
India. It is true numerous and great diff
culties present themselves to the advance
Of large invading army that would
seriously menace British power. In
deed. it is extremely doubtful if
an attack worthy OF the name can be
made on the Indian frontier until the Rus
slams are firmly established in possession OF
the territories between the headwaters OF
the Jaxartes and the Amou-darja and the
western slopes Of the Hindoucouche Noun
tains. But the progress of the Russians will
be slow and sure. They will advance year
after year nearer to their objective points.
Their steady progress must eventually bring
them to the neighborhood of Cabul, just as
their repeated attempts finally brought them
to the gates Of Constantinople. Besides, the
railroad will aid them in this advance.
From Orenburg lines will probably be cx-
tended to the shores OF the Caspian Sea,
and from the eastern ports OF that great area
Of navigable water toward Kherat and Nerve.
Probably other lines will follow the great
rivers toward Taschkent and Derbend, SO
that in the course Of few years the Russian
and Briton may stand face to face on the
banks Of the Indus.

Mexican Trout les.

The reported activity OH the part of the
Lerdists, on the Mexican border, should be
met by vigilant effort on the part Of the
United States authorities to enforce the laws
and to manifest our good faith toward the

OF the HERALD yesterday stated that General
