ROUTE AROUND THE EARTH.
Completion of the Russian Road
Beats Jules Verne.

Vancouver. B. c.. Feb. 9.-Dr. De
Karmet, the eminent Russian lecturer
who, is now here to give addresses on
Siberia and its prospects, declares that
with the opening of the trans-Siberian
railroad there will speedily follow direct
ana rapid steam communication be-
tween Vladivostock and Vancouver
This would place British Columbia in
an all around the world route that
could be traversed in 40 days
DR.. De Karmet expects the Canadian
Pacific railroad to join in the work
of developing this great route by land
and by sea. He predicts that, with
the opening of the railway there would
come such vast gold development in
Siberia as would make that country one
of the greatest gold producers in the
world. Even now with but primitive
appliances and methods it produces in
the neighborhood of $29,OOO,OOO in gold
yearly.

The Rumor Not Yet Officially Con-
Srned.

New York, Feb. "A special cable
to the Herald from Constantinople
says:
The rumor that Prince Ferdinand of
Bulgaria has the intention of abdicat-
ing in favor of his son is not yet con-
firmed. The Bulgarian agency here

foundation.
Yesterday an anti-patriarchal pro-

only the Oakland races, and the pool

The plungers only made post bets and
this knocked out the idea of tapped

one being that the people have no

fact that crises almost as acute have

question, OF which this Is one OF the
phases. and have been smoothed over
by the adroit hand Of diplomacy at the

Turkish troops continue to arrive at
the frontier, where their foes are also

not start to the front unless really
serious things were imminent, have
gone to Thessaly.
In view of all this, 1t Is difficult to
avoid the conclusion that hostilities
are ready to break out, and will do so
in the next few days. And yet how
