A Line OF Merchantmen 10 Connect Her
Great Railroad with America.
SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 10.-Dr W. L.
Hoenock, chief engineer Of the Irkutsch
and Vladivostock division of RussiGs
great railroad, says that feeders will be
built from the main line. one on an un-
destanding with the Persian govern
ment TO Herat, another into Afghan
stan, ovsr the Thibet mountains, a
third into BeloochIstan and Adghani-
stan and Persia.
This will bring the Russian road into
the center OF the Asintic powers and
right at the door OF INDIA.
You will be perhJps interested to
know" said the doctor, shat the Rus
sian government is building several
merchantmen to ply between Eiadivo-
stock and some port in Alaska. We are
now building three OF them at Vladlvo-
stock and three meorc are to be built at
Cronstadt: they will all be finished
within year or so. -.
at is not decided which port we will
go to: perhaps one will be made. for the
United States Is to build a railroad TO
some point north OF Alaska and wher-
ever II makes It's terminus that we shall
make our port.
This a part OF the grand strategic
plan, and It Is being carried out by an
understanding between the two coun-
tries, The United States will build n
line north to Sitakacross the Boring sea
islands as far as practicable, and from
that point, make connection with the
ships Russla, IL building, making the
tourney from Alaska TO Yladvostock in

Tho Industrial situation has not ma
terially changed. There Is much heSl-
tatlon In the iron business, with some
advance In BesGmer pig because OF the
expectation that Connellsville coke ana
lake ore will both be dearer. and yet
finished products of iron and steel are
on the whole quoted O little lower, and
the nall association is still in session to
determine whether 1t will abandon the
effort to maintain fixed price. That
branch OF business Is extremely slow,
nothing Is doing In rails, and While
there Is n rather better demand FOR
sheets and plates, and several good or
ders are reported for structural works,
angels are quoted a shade lower. Every
thing turns on the contracts FOR ore
which are stlll unsettled. but the great
excess in production OF pig iron over
the present demand Is no longer denied
and 1t is expected that quite number
OF the furnaces will presently dtscon-
tinue production Lower prices for
Alabama iron renew competition with
eastern furnaces. Sales of wool are

chases Is OF speculative character
based upon belief that prices may ad-

limit the output OF the Lake Superior

It has not enjoyed for years.
A secret meeting at which every pro-

scented, is now in session In this city

OF contention at present is an amicaole
understanding whereby the amount or

coming year win be equitably deter

The reduction In charges was In effect
until wharfmastCr Norrlngton came In

Kimple refused to pay the advance and
the result is the case ia in court. Tho

It is an uncommon thing to learn of
persons reaching the age of Mrs. Emyle
Hyde Grinnell, and years OF good health
such as hers come only to those who
make use Of the very best means of
keeping well.
No one will wonder that the bright
eyed old lady, whose mind to-day Is as
alert and clear as ever. should be an1-
Ious for others to try Paine's celery
compound.
Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grinnell was born
In Bennington, VT, July 6, 1896. and Is
to-day living with her granddaughter,
the wife OF Martin Fowler, Of Colches-
ter, VT. a beautiful town near Fort
Ethan Allen. Her father was farmer
and hotel keeper, and she lived upon
the farm until her marriage. Mrs.
Grinnefi has none Of the infFnttieS OF
old age. She rises ut daylight, works
about the house, and when the weather
will permit walks outdoors. Her eye
sight Is so good that she threads her
needle and spends many hours cro-
chetIng and doing fancy work. She
keeps abreast Of the times, and is re-
markably well-infornIed upon many
subjects. She declares that she does
not feel any older than she has for
years, and II people half her age en-
joyed such good health as she they
would consider themselves fortunate.
She has seven children. four boys and
three girls, two OF whom are living to-
day.
