The London Times Sunday in an ar
tce commenting upon the worlds FAR
and the rapid growth OF Chicago says
"Other towns in America are as zap
PLY situated, yet their prosperity does
not approximate that of Chicago. The
CITY must have been originally fortunate
in the possession of townsmen who guided
il I'm the right groove. BY universal ses-
timonv Chicago has achieved the distino-
ton of working human faculties at q
pressure for the conduct Of commerce
which could not be heightened without
instant danger of bursting Chicago

In a recent issue the London Times has

of the routes across the Pamrs, IL IL
needless to say, could ever be utilized by
| Russia under any conceivable clrcum-
stances for the purpose OF attef lpting

| But several Of them seem To be roads OF
/ kind which. if they were insuihcientiy
! guarded, might tempt bold aud capable
| officers at certain seasons TO make raids
| across the mountains with view to dis
tracing the attention of the Indian mll-
| itnry authorities and alarming the ma

4
| occasion either for surprise or Tor un-
easiness at Russia's accomplishment OF
this latest step on her road to China, II
! will be observed with satisfaction that

template the dispatch Of twenty British
officers to Gilgit Mt an early date While

| nrobation still further satisfaction would
be felt by the public if design which
was lately entertained 10y the representa-
tives Of both the British and the kus-
! sian Foreign Offices were revived: IL
was proposed that a mixed commission
should be appointed not 70 delimit the
frontiers of these half-eIplored regions,

ton. The present difficulty may, perhaps,
lead TO n revival Of scheme when ~
