DISTINGUISHED SLAVS.
They Are En- Route to V1adivostock, in
Connection With the Great Siberian
Railway.

Colonel D. Horvath OF st. Petersburg, a.
noted railroad builder of Russia, who has
been appointed manager and construction
engineer Of large section of the Asiatic
railway from st. Peterburg to VIadivos-
took, is at the Palace. He is accompanied by
Stephen Garfield, secretary of the road
and special correspondent OF the Moscow
Russkiji Vedomasti and other Russian
dailies.
Colonel Horvath is giant Slay, with
Jet black hair and whiskers and
strong face. He stand over feet high.
The colonel speaks little English, but the
secretary is versatile in many languages.
Neither of US has ever been in ST.
beria," said he, land we are fastening on
as fast as we can, for if we should miss a
single steamer, the ice at Vladivostock
would shut US out, and we would not be
able to reach there for six months. That
is, we would not unless we went to Korea,
and crossed over that country by such con-
veyances as we could get, and then by
sleigh to Vladivostock.
About 1000 miles of the railroad has al
ready been built, and 1000 miles more re-
main yet to be com pleted. An army of
men is working on it. We hope to COM
plete it in the rough in two years. SO that
passenger trains can run, but it will take
another year to complete iron bridges.
Il shall remain with the railroad till it
is completed, unless there should be a row
between Russia and Japan, or between
Russia and China, in which case l have
been asked to sever my connection with
the work and go 10 the field as war corre-
spondent."
The noted Russians will sail tomorrow
