RAILROADS IN EDEN.
Trains of Cars viii Run Along Banks

Trains of Cars viii Run Along Banks
of Euphrates.
A railroad through the Garden of
Eden, assuming that the site OF it was
in the valley of the Euphrates, is now
a probability. The idea of railroad
from the coast of Asia Minor to the
Persian gulf is said to have originated
with William Nv Of England, but moth
ing came of the scheme. That ener-
getic genius, M. de Lesseps, talked in
1857 of applying to the porte for per-
mission to build a railroad from Con-
stantinople to the Gulf, but the needed
capital was not forthcoming, and there
were diplomatic difficulties. In 1878
England, desiring a shorter route to
India, was negotiating for the sanction
Of the porte, when the eastern. question
took a turn for the worse, and war
with Russia seemed to be imminent.
Twenty years later Russia entered the
field with the resolve of acquiring a
port on the Persian gulf, and an outlet
on the coast of Asia Minor, Count Kap-
mist laying before the porte the project
of a railroad from Tripoli to the Gulf
including one branch to Bagdad and
connection with the Persian port of
Enzeli on the Caspian sea. 1t was
rejected Dy Tile Sulldlls Oil TIE STOunu
that Tripoli as terminus would be too
far from Constantinople. 1t may be
suspected, however, that the porte was
unalterably opposed to any scheme
which would give Russia a footing in
Asia Minor. An English syndicate,
with the backing of the government,
has lately applied to the authorities at
Constantinople for a franchise. It is
proposed to extend to the Persian gulf
an existing line which runs to Koniah
from Constantinople. The extension
would pass through Adana, thence to
Aleppo, along the valley of the Eupha-
les to Bagdad, and to Bassorah, or
Rarra, an inland port on the Shat-el-
Arab. 70 miles from its mouth in the
Gulf. Such a railroad would have but
a limited value for commercial pur-
noses. without a Mediterranean port,
and it is proposed to construct branch
from AIeppo to Alexandretta or Scande-
room in Syria. This railroad system
would pass through one of the most fer
file countries on the globe, and not only
would England control its trade, but
she would gain route to India shorter
Inv five days than the present route
through the Suez canal.-New York
