q RAILROAD TO INDIA.

OF with mighty military armaments and power
\ fu navies only the great nations OF Europe
contending with another for supremacy
By granting large subsidies merchant vessels they
are wagng the commercial contest on every sea and
at every port OF the globe, and moreover they are
as far possible constructing railway lines in such
a manner as to be OF service to their people in the
industrial competition.
The vast project which Russia is pushing forward
in the establishment of railway the northern
part OF Asia has stimulated the British to consider
the feasibility OF constructing line to the south
which would bring British India into railway COM
munication with the Mediterranean The franchise
for such line must OF course emanate from the
Turkish Government as it would have to pass for
long distance through the territory OF that empire
and it appears there is pretty sharp diplomatic
struggle going to obtain it.
The objection to the British scheme has come
mainly from the Germans, who for long time have
been working for industrial and commercial suprem-
acy in Turkey and particularly in the Asatic portion
OF that empire. Lately however it seems the French
and the Russians have become interested in the mat
ter and the latter decidedly antagonstc to both
the Germans and the British for they are themselves
building line of railway to the Persian Gulf The
Vienna correspondent OF the London Times in COM
mentihg upon the situation presented at the Aus
TRAN capltal says:
"These energetic protests would seem to indicate
that the realization of of the competing railway
schemes is now looked upon not very remote
possibility. Another explanation OF the hostility
which finds expression in the Russian press may be
the recognition that in the to the Persian Gull
Russia is for the moment seriously handicapped. A
combination OF financial with technical difficulties of
exceptional gravity will postpone the desired exten-
sion OF the Transcaspian Railway system for a long
time to come The dsinclination OF certain foreign
money markets to make loans together with
the constant and heavy drain upon the Russian
Treasury for the Siberian Railway the Far East and
the further development of the army and navy, will
necessarily cripple and delay the operations in Per-
sia In these circumstances it is quite conceivable
that the progress OF such powerful and wealthy COM
petitors as Germany and Great Britain should excite
little jealousy in St. Petersburg
1t is said the structural difficulties of the road
would be comparatively slight and under either
British or German control it would be easy to OBJ
tain the money to construct it 1t is quite probable,
therefore, that route to India may soon follow
the opening OF the Siberian road even if do not
cede it.

If it could be determined In ADVANCE

interpreted by the federalist papers and
our official procedure (and twill be found
within the whole scope thereof, there is
not one word or line providing for or
authorizing Jurisdiction over subjects or
colonies Citizens and States alone are
contemplated. But the spirit of the con-
stitution may avail little for the reason
that the continuance of the present condi-

reasons ii has been uninteresting to me
