The Russian government will shortly
open a water route into the interior of
Russian Turkestan and thus furnish
the country with comm u~nication, and
to some extent with water also. For
this purpose advantage will be taken
Of a line Of depressions OF valleys ex
tending from a point on the lower
course of Amur-Daria river eastward
to the Caspian sea. A canal to the
Caspian can be built on a comparatively
easy line The Russian experience in
Turkestan has shown that the ancient
fertility Of the country can be restored
by irrigation, and large shipments of
cotton are now made to Moscow. The
promising mineral deposits have also
been located and transportation in adj
ditiOn to the present trans-C Caspian
railroad is much needed.

Mr.. Gladstone lately expressed him
self as believing that English is to be
the language of the future. Mr.. Glad
stones reasons are based on what has
happened within his w lifetime.
When Mr.. Gladstone was born English
was spoken by 100000 Of people. 1t is
now spoken by 1%20,00O,000. The num-
Der of people in the earth who speak
English is doubled every forty years.
This forms the basis Of a very simple
calculation as to when the entire popu-
latiOn of the earth shall speak English.
The two great English-speaking coun-
tries are Great Britain and the United
States. Wherever Great Britain goes
she carries the English language, and
whoever comes to the United States
learns 1t.

Commissioner Evans has insisted
that as the lunch time is from 1870 to

Not a minute sooner than the pre-

emerge from the Offices and swarm
down the broad staircases to the east

Of impromptu tables are set loaded with

The vendors of these provisions are in

a dollar bill would not be sufficient to
buy a piece of pie.

Some had considerable difficulty in

Growing Cities.

- SIDE from political considerations,
n the results of last weeks regis
tration in Anaconda and Butte
are a significant proof of the steady in
crease of these two cities in population.
In Butte the registration passes the
fourteen-thousand mark-the figures
printed in the Standard yesterday
morning. which were estimated for n
small precinct only, give Silver Bow
county a registry OF 14.11o. The total
in 1896 was 12.674-that was the Bryan
year. In 1894 IL was 1884.
The steady growth Of Butte is shown
by the constant activity there in the
building OF stores and dwellings; by
the increase in the daily average at
tendance at the public schools; and by
the figures recorded In the registry
books. Only a few years ago men who
lacked faith in the permanency of Butte
secuted the idea that the city would
ever count a population of thirty thous-
and. 1t must be regarded as a conser-
vative estimate to place to-day's pop
ulation in Butte at a figure not far
from 55, o0o-certainly that mark is not
too high.
With this growth Anaconda has kept
even pace. In 1894 the registration In
this city wal 2.s25. In 1896 there was
a very full registration. and the total
was s.5o5. Tn city has gained o n
stantly and rapidly in population dur
ing the past twenty-four months. and
the figure for the registration tina;
closed Saturday night is 3.sos. An Gle
ment making up an aggregate OF a
good many votes in Anaconda Is not
registered this year; II includes repub-
iicans whose party has no ticket In the
local field. The two companies OF VOL
unteers sent out by Anaconda were
made up Of voters. Thus Anaconda's
gain in registry Is not In proportion to
the city's actual growth.
Figures printed In the Standard yes
terday morning show in many places a
failing-on from the registration of two
years ago. Respecting Helena the In
dependent announced yesterday morn
ing that the registration in that city
may show a faliing-on of nearly one
thousand" II will be seen that the
registration In Silver Bow county, plus
that Of the city OF Anaconda. is a total
OF more than one-third OF the vote cast
in h state OF Montana in the presi-
Dental election OF 1886. Silver Bows
present registration alone is more than
twenty-five per cent Of the states vote
In that year.
