RUSSO-CHINESE RAILWAY.
United States Consul karel Tells
How the Route Came to
be Changed.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 16.-United
States Consul General Karel at St
Petersburg has furnished the state de-
partment with full particulars OF the
conditions under which the plan for the
Siberian railway were changed so as to
run the eastern portion of the line
through Chinese territory. He says it
was found that the original plan would
be very hard of execution owing to the
great CONSTITUTIONAL difficulties en-
countered. Thus, on one section of
1105 miles the cost per mile would be
SIG 60.
1t was this fact which first led to the
consideration Of Il Chinese section and
investigation showed that by running
the line through Manchuria not only
would the construction be cheapened but
the line would be shortened and other
advantages would be secured. Negotia-
tons were begun and the Chinese gov
eminent gave concession to the Rus
sian-Chinese bank, which formed new
company-The Eastern Chinese Railway
company, capital. $3.50, O00-to con-
struct that part of the road on Chinese
territory
This project was sanctioned by the
Cars decree on December is last. The
road is to run from a point on the west
efn 1foEIlef OF the province OF IeuunS
Chang to point on the eastern frontier
of Krih and to be connected with the
branches of the trans-Siberian railway.
The company may also work coal mines
and other mining, industrial and COM
mercial Enterprises in China, and Rus
SLAMS and Chinese may hold the shares
of the company, the payment of which
the Russian government guarantees.
At the end of eighty years, the road
passes into the hands of the Chinese
government

In her anxiety to get the children out,
Mrs Britton, the matron, neglected
those who were in her room. After see

that others would be out in a few mo-
mcnts, she suddenly remembered her
own children and, running to her own
room, endeavored to rescue them. She
was too late, as the fire had by this
time entered her own room. She was
compelled to retreat with the cries of
her children ringing in her ears know
ing that they were doomed to a certain
death. In the confusion which reigned,
while the children were being hurricdly
assisted from the building, many were
overlooked and several Of the little fell

The Facts in the Case.

The facts are that both Premier
Laurier and Minister Tarte iourneyed
from Ottawa to this city for the purpose
of paying an official tribute of respect to
the memory of the dead prelate. On
their arrival it developed that. while the
church authorities had reserved n seat
for Premier Laurier. they had so ar
ranged the order of precedence that the
members of the federal cabinet We're
rele9ated not only to the tail end of the
order Of seating but to a remote section
of the cathedral.
When this was brought to the atten-
ton of Mr.. Laurier on the night before
the funeral. he gave it out tlatfooted
that he would neither sanction nor per-
nit any such slight to his colleague, and
it was pointed out that. whereas in the
official promulgated table of precedents
for such occasions the members of the
Dominion cabinet were placed eighth in
line, by the action Of the church author
tiles they were relegated to the TWEEN
tieth place.
A hurried council of the church author
tiles was convened, but the sentiment
was against any change in the pro-
gramme Thereupon Mr.. Laurier re-
fused the place and the seat allotted TO
him and attended the funeral as pri-
waite citizen and a Catholic, occupying
the pew of G.. a. Geoffrion. The under
standing is that the church authorities
were governed in their action by the
suggestion OF Premier Flynn and mem
bers Of his cabinet, all of whom are To-
ries and have consequently 10 love for
the Laurier administration.
How the News Got to Rome.
The name of prominent Catholic lady
of this city who has commended herself
to the authorities at Rome OH account
of her banefactiOns to and zeal in behalf
of the church, and who is also a great
friend Of Nine. Laurier's, is mentioned
as having been instrumental in bringing
the matter TO the attention Of the Rom
ish authorities by cable.
1t IS probable that something on the
subject Will be heard from Rome when
the bishops assemble at st. Hyacinthe's
on the last Thursday of this month to
celebrate the golden anniversary of
Bishop Moreau's elevation to the priest
hood. Bishop Moreau. by the way, is
the nrelate recommended by Rome as
the most worthiest" to succeed Arch
bishop Eabro
