TRASs-sIBERIAN RAILROAD.
A Final Decision Arrived Mt Re.
EnrdIug the Project.


New YORK, Feb. 25.-The st,
Petersburg correspondent Of the
New York Tribune writes: A final
decision IL Mt last reached BIZ the
imperial governiiieht regarding the
trans Siberian railroad. The work
OF construction will be begun at
once and pushed vigorously to a
completion. Surveys have been
made Of sufficient accuracy TO de-
teriiine the iinost practicable route,
and also to indicate the cost and
time required for the enterprise.
General AnnerhOff, builder Of the
TRANSIT Caspian road, reckons the en-
tire line TO Vladivostock will cost
less than 5000, OOO, 900 and through
trains from the Baltic to the Pacific
can he nun within five year. from
the beginning.
a highly important consideration
IN this matter is the colonization of
the country alcnE this AMOR river.
Besides the vast agricultural possi-
bilities, the region is exceedingly
rich in precious minerals. For
years IL has been known to contain
some OF the
RICHEST DEPOSITS OF GOLD
in the world and vast stores Of gems
are also taken from the mines. All
Of these products belong to the
Russian crown, but borders on the
northern part Of China, aud the
boundary line is ill-guarded. The
result Is that tn. Chinese swarm
acs6ss By thousands, and afe fe6ily
securing lie lions share Of the
spoils.
There IA still another immense
advantage 10 be secured TO Russia
by the construction Of this railroad,
and that is the trade Of the Pacific
ocean. At present this traffic reaches
Europe almost exclusively by Eng
lish routes. The Northern Pacific
trade is carried across America by
the Canadian and United States
Pacific railroads and shipped TO
Europe by the Atlantic lines. The
trade Of the central part of the coast
finds its way to Europe by English
routes through the Suez canal. With
the opening up Of China and Japan
to commerce this trade is
INCREASING IN IMPORTANCE,
and II is TO capture a portion Of 1t |
that Russia now aims. The Pacific |
terminus OF the road will be at VIA
livestock.
There will presently be running |
another rOai, from some point in |
China to NladivostOck, which will |
convey to the latter point the traffic |
Of China. Steamship lines will |
also connect with all important
Chinese and Japaneseports. Thence
transit across the Russian empire to
Europe will be much easier, quicker
and cheaper than by the American
route. In point Of time, il will have
an advantage Of at least n week, and
will also avoid the risks and I'M

PARIS, Feb. 25.-The Chamber
Of Deputies today made n new rule
for the government of its proceed

recalcitrant deputies, who, being
called TO order, decline to take their
seats or otherwise insoleutly defy
the command of the Speaker, so
that the authority of the house, as
represented by the Speaker, is sell
dom respected unless actual force is
appealed to. This trouble reached
a climax in the recent revolt Of the
Boulangists, who practically made a
riot in the house. The new nIle
affixes penalty to every refusal on
the part OF a member TO obey an Or
der Of the President. The penalty
is that the member be suspended
during thirty-six sessions Of the
Chamber. 1t is said that this new
rule was voted by 277 to 1856.
