Russia's New Railway.

Russia evidently does not intend to al
low the Transcaspian railway to be
mere toy. Already. according to its chief
promoter, it is defraying Its working ex-
penses. Not only troops, officials, and
tourists are being conveyed along Its
line, but ordinary merchandise III
considerable quantities. As trade
route to India from Central ASIA
it is said TO be largely adopted at
present. For the future very ambitious
plans are on foot A scheme has been
launched for vast mercantile combina-
ton to embrace Eastern Europe and
Central Asia, inclusive of Persia and
Afghanistan. The principal traders OF
the whole vast region are alleged TO have
signified their adhesion. Its backbone
and its lever will be the Transcaspian
railway, and they are to requite its ser
vice by becoming its feeders and agents.
Everything is being made smooth for
the new road, even to fiscal tariffs, In
which Russian Governments are habitu-
ally the most rigid and obdurste.
