RUSSIA is BEING DEFRAuDED.
Gross Fraud Alleged in Connection With
the Siberian Railway.

From the London Times.
The St. Petersburg correspondent OF
the Brussels "Etoile Beige sends to
the journal he represents the following
particulars rejecting on the manner in
which the Siberian railway has been
constructed:
in the first place, the different works
have been executed in manner that
shows very little conscience. Every
thing, or nearly everything. will have
to be done over again before the au-
thorities can think of throwing open the
line to regular working. In very many
places the road gives way on the pas
sage of a train a little heavier than US
ual or travelling at speed of more than
90 miles an hour and accidents more
or less grave are continually happen
ing. More than usual courage is de-
manded of anyone undertaking jour-
ney on this railway. This construction
a la ruse has already swallowed up
hundreds Of millions of rubles, or, to
speak more truthfully, the constructors
and not the construction, have absorbed
| the millions. People are beginning to
| ask how it will finish. There is still
more. Several Siberian journals. which
are. moreover, closely controlled by the
| local cersors, publish the following
| statements: For several months the
| y
cash, despite the terms of their con-
| tracts. The engineers in charge, who
| represent the government, declared that
| they had no more money and the con-
| tractors must be satisfied with bonds
| which the Siberian and Chinese banks
| have for some time discounted at So
per cent Frequently these bonds were
not paid on falling due, and in con-
| sequence the banks refuse to act any
| longer as Intermediates between the
government engineers and the contrac-
tors. 1t was only when one of these
engineers, Prime A. who had made
a fortune, undertook to be personally
responsible to the banks that they re-
| sumed the functions of discount brok-
! ers. But the princes guarantee Is
| somewhat costly. seeing that he claims
a little fee of Is per cent. The contrac-
tors are furious, but they find them
| selves helpless, owing to the clause IN.
| serted in all the contracts to the eftec,
| that disputes between the engineers and
| the contractors of the line have to be
settled in St. Petersburg. To lodge a
complaint 5000 miles from the spot
where the circumstances have occurred
is at least announcement and would en-
| tail years of delay The position OF the
| unfortunate navvies themselves can be
| imagined from the treatment OF the
contractors. Their wages are paid very
| irreEularly. and always with deduc-
tions. Badly fed and badly lodged, it Is
not surprising if they give only half a
heart to the work.

son or not she will always be to them
the queen of the turf.
Imp was bread by Uncle Dan Har-
ness, who also bred her dam, Fondling,
and her granddam. Uncle Dan was
never a prominent turfman till Imp
made her remarkable record, although
he had been interested in racing for
many years.
Caress was one of the good horses ne
owned and his horses raced at the old
Jerome park when that course was in
its glory. During the civil war the
Alexander thoroughbreds We're sent
from Kentucky to the Harness farm in
Ohio to be taken care of while the
conditions made it dangerous to keep
them in the dark and bloody ground.
At the farm there is a half brother
to Imp by Palestine. which may Re
seen out next season. Fondling missed
her foal last year. but is now in foal to
Wagner and the produce will, of course,
be immensely valuable. Trainer Bross-
mans handling of Imp throughout the
past two seasons has been a revelation
to turfmen by reason of the great num-
Der of races he has been able to get
out of the mare and still keep her in
the best of condition. If she winters
satisfactorily she will undoubtedly De
raced next season again.
The amount of money won by Imp
during the past two seasons will doubt
less run into the neighborhood of $780,
600. not counting what may have been
taken in bets. Neither Harness nor
Brossman are heavy bettors, however.
Although the mare never went to the
post without stable support, they were
mainly content to win the purse or
stake and a small wager. Mr. Harness
has, in fact. seldom seen the great
mare race, and when he did travel
some hundred miles to watch her she
has nearly always been beaten.
A tabuiated statement of Imp's per-
formances for the season follows, show
ing her to have started in 81 races, in
IS of which she was first, three times
second, six times third and nine times
unplaced, making a percentage of AZ
to her credit.

gested the propriety of defraying the
expenses of the postal service in the
new territory out of the receipts there.
Mr.. Loud agreed with the suggestion.
He said half million was asked orig
inally for this item, but after cabinet
meeting the postmaster general had
said shat amount would not be neces-
sary. He thought it was to be the well
settled policy of the government to
meet the expenses out of the receipts.

Mr.. Bricker, dem, Mich, made "a
point of order against the provision in
the bill in connection with the appro-
priation of 100000 for the pneumatic
tube service. This repealed the prohi-
bition against an extension of the serv
ice. Mr.. Hopkins, in the chair, sus-
tanned the point of order. whereupon
Mr.. Loud moved to reduce the appro-
priation to $225,000. The amendment
was adopted.
Mr. Moody, rep, Mass, moved to
strike out the paragraph appropriating

facilities. Mr.. Moody also opposed the
appropriation of $4,000 for special ia

MI. CoWherd, DEM, Mo. defended the
latter appropriation. There was a de-
bate of more than an hour over Mr.
Moody's first amendment, but the
amendment was carried, S2-46, and the
appropriation was struck. Mr.. Moody
then moved to strike out the appro-
pration for special mail facilities from
Kansas City to Newton. Mr.. Simpson,
pop, Kan, defended the appropriation,
which. he said, facilitated the mails for
Western Kansas and the whole south
ern part of the state. The amendment
was adopted
Mr.. Dockery offered an amendment
prohibiting the issue of, postoffice money
orders to bearer. 1t was adopted. There
was no further amendment and the bill
was reported to the house.

THE GOLD STANDARD.
Secretary Gage Gives His Opinion of the
Hull Bill.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Secretary Gage
to-day appeared before the house COM
mlttee on coinage, weights and meas
ures to explain his view of the Hull
bill to define and fix the standard of
value and regulate coinage. This is
the bill with which the advocates of
currency reform propose to supplement
the currency bill of the banking and
currency commission. 1t makes the
sold dollar the standard of value. Sec
rotary Gave gave his general approval
to the measure, but took strong excep-
ton to section II. which proposes to
assess one-quarter of one per cent tax
annually upon the capital, surplus and
undivided profits of national banks
The secretary contrasted the burdens
upon which national banks labored,
compared with the trust companies.
He explained that national banks were
compelled to pay in local taxation two
and one-half times as much as trust
companies and they were required to
carry large reserves which trust COM
panies were not. He did not think it
fair that this additional burden should
be placed upon them.
Section II would increase the taxa
ton on national banks SO per cent,
would it not?' inquired Mr.. Hill
1T would" replied Mr.. Gage, land
I suggest that it be left as it is
With that exception the secretary
agreed that the bill was feasible and
practicable. so far as the treasury de-
partment was concerned.
THE bill would place the country
fatty on the gold standard, would it
not?' asked Mr.. Cooper Of Texas. =
1T would"
Secretary Gage submitted a substi-
tute bill with section II omitted and
various other minor changes. At the
request of Mr.. Hartman of Montana
the secretary agreed in a few days
to appear and reply to certain general
questions which were asked of the gold
standard advocates at the Omaha de-
bate last September. Mr.. A. j. War
ner one of the leading double stand
ard advocates, was invited by the COM
mittee to give his views at the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Hartman. He argued
against the establishment of the sin
gle gold standard He protested against
the increasing power of national banks
In the issue of notes they would be
governed only and solely by self in
terest. He declared that all the au-
thorities on both sides of the money
question and upon both sides of the
ocean secuted the, idea of basing cur
rency upon property values.
