The Future OF the East.

About 600 miles of the great trans
Siberian Railroad have been opened for
travel with befitting ceremonies, says
the Boston Globe.
This is less significant in itself than
in what it portends for the future Of
European and Eastern civilization
when the whole road, covering 5000
miles, is pushed across Siberia.
We generally think of Siberia as a
desOlate province where the victims of
"darkest Russia" are locked out of the
world; but this immense region of the
earth has vast tracts of fertile land,
and the new road will prepare the way
for flood of cheap grain to inundate
the markets of Europe and appal the
European farmer.
Such a vast speculative enterprise as
this, with rails spanning over a fifth Of
the circumference of the earth and
costing $125, 100000 for construction,
could hardly be carried through in any
other country than Russia, where the
cooperation of the Gar counts for
everything.
When this road is completed and
unites Asia and Europe its influence
upon the destinies of the East will be
incalcuable. Every European country
having possessions in the Orient will
be affected.
1t may mean, too, that Russia, and
not the United States, is yet to supply
Europe with bread, for another United
States, for purposes of supply, will be
set up in the heart of the Eastern con-
tinent.
The world is wide. The vast re-
sources locked up in the almost bound
less Russian empire are relatively un-
touched as yet, to say nothing of the
possible capacities of the oriental
masses when aroused from the long
slumber of antiquity by the new on.
coming forces of progress.

INDIAN FIGHTING COURAGE.
rerrors In White Settlements VIII
Run Away from Hostile Redskins.

Terrors In White Settlements WIN
Run Away from Hostile Redskins.
"It takes a special kind Of courage
to fight Indians" said Major Ragsdale
at the Little Gem" in Topeka. ''They're
pretty sure to surprise you, and they're
slippery as quicksilver and Us hard to
catch. Their yelling and whoopins
alone are enough to stampede men not
trained to their style Of fighting. Some
times they fight under cover and you
catch a fire from an enemy you can't
get sight of, and again, they seem all
to spring out Of the ground at once
and charge you as though nothing
could stand their onset. Then there's
the knowledge that If they catch you
alive you'll be skinned alive, or burned.
or your life tortured out Of you by
slow degrees in a thousand other ways
they can think Of to make you suffer.
There's many a stout-hearted desper.
ado, terror in white settlements and
not afraid to have a pistol or shotgun
scrap any hour of the day or night
with q man Of his own color, who
doesn't count for q row Of pins In an
indian fight.
take Sam Brown Of Nevada for
case in point. He wasn't afraid Of any
man that wore boots, and he was the
terror. of the mining camps everywhere
he went. The Piute Indians got bad
one time and a party was organized
in the camps to go out against them.
Sam Joined the volunteers, and every
body in the party and all that stopped
behind were talking about the big
deeds Sam Brown would do, and chuc-
king to think Of the way those red
skins would be wiped out when they
un up against him.
"Well, when they came upon the In
dians things didn't turn out quite as
they had expected. 1t was the whites
that got licked out In short order, and
those that weren't left on the ground
stampeded for safety. Sam Brown
was one Of the first ones TO run, and
the pace he set hrs horse at to get away
from those redskins was something
that beat quarter racing in the way OF
reckless riding. AS they stampeded
down a canyon, every man trying to
be foremost to get away, Sam hailed
Joe McMurtrie. who was riding bet
>er horse than his:
"'Oh, Mac! Pull your horse lit
tie SO can come up. Well ride safer
together
"McMurtrie's answer to that friendly
invitation was to bend down to his
horses neck, set in the spurs, and get
out Of that canyon ahead Of Sam and
back to Bodie as fast as hoofS could
carry him. He knew Sam Brown, and
that If that worthy once got alongside
of him he wouldn't hesitate to shoot
him off his horse SO as to get better
mount for himself. After they oil got
back to the settlement he didn't go
round to places where he was likely
to meet Sam, lest 1t might stir him up
to unpleasant recollections Of their In
dian campaign-people were that con-
siderate Of others feelings in those
days when the other happened to be

FEARFUL WRECK.
SEVERAL COACHES ROLL nowN AN

jured.

GreenviIle, Ala, Feb. 23.-The south
bound passenger train on the Louis
vile 81 Nashville, passing Greenville at
$40 this morning, was derailed three
miles below here and fearful wreck
resulted.
The cars rolled down an embankment
and caught fire.
FIVE of them We're burned, including
two passenger coaches, the baggage
and express cars and one sleeper.
The engine tore its way along the
roadbed for some distance, tearing up
the rails.
A large number of passengers were
on board. many of them en- route to
the Mardi Gras, at Mobile and New
Orleans.
The physicians in the city were sum-
rnoned in haste and soon reached the
wreck. when everything possible was
done to relieve the sufferinss of the
victims.
When the extent Of the damage was
ascertained it seems little less than a
miracle that only one life was lost
that of c. r. Webb. a barber Of Birm-
ingham, who was killed outright, his
neck being broken. Several we're more
or less injured as follows;
Mrs Armstrong, Buffalo, N. Y; arm
broken.

Washington, Feb. 29-The president
today nominated Hon Matt w. Ran
som, senator from North Carolina, for
minister to Mexico, to succeed the late
Hon. Isaac P Gray The nomination
was received by the Senate at LIS
O'Clock. Few nominations have been
sent to the Senate which have been re-
ceiVed with greater favor. The entire
Senate, with two or three exceptions,
and those exceptions because of
strained relations with the executive,
had Joined in the recommendation of
the appointment.
Mr.. Ransom has been a member of
the Senate continuously for the past
twenty-three years, being first chosen
in 1872 During the war he filed in
succession the grades Of lieutenant
colonel, colonel, brigadier general and
major general. Senator Ransom is SO
years of age, but is well preserved and
does not show his age. He is a man
of polished manners and Of much tact,
and his colleagues unite in the opinion
that he will make an ideal diplomat.
The Senate went into executive ses-
sion Immediately after receiving the
nomination and confirmed it by unani-
nous vote. The confirmation was
moved by Senator Sherman. who in
making the motion, addressed the Sen
ate briefly as to the fitness of the nomi-
nation of which he spoke as in every
way deserving and appropriate. When
the vote was taken there was general
response in the affirmative. The eXecu-
tive session lasted only FIVE minutes.
Senator Ransom made his escape to
his committee room when the executive
session was moved, and was not pres
lent during the executive proceedings
Senator Ransom said, after his con-
firmation. that he would not qualify
until after the 4th of March. After
that time he would be prepared to pro-
coed to Mexico as soon as the secretary
of state desired him to go.
