The remark in the House of Com
non on Thursday night that trans
portation is the question of the day,
reminds us that one of the marvels of
the age is the rapidity with which
formerly remote quarters of the earth
are being brought close together. Ac-
cording to the Russian minister of
railways, when Russia's new Trans
Siberian railroad is finished the trip
around the world can be made in
thirty-three days. When Jules Verne
just twenty-five years ago sent the
fictitious Phineas Fogg around the
earth in eighty days this exploit was
deemed to be about as near the abso-
lutely impossible as at the time Puck's
feat was of putting a girdle "round
about the earth in forty minutes"
Two women, travelling in opposite
directions, beat Fogg's mythical TX
plot a few years ago. When the Rus
sian railroad is built, however. the
record of their ~journeyings will, in
the comparison, seem like the old
stage coach and sailing vessel travels
do to day.

A SMALL YIELD OF PEACHES.
Damage of Trees in Delaware and Mary
Iand by the Neilows.

New YonK CITY (Spccial).-The peach
crop is lighter this season than for many
years, according to the New York fruit
dealers. In Delaware and what is known
as the eastern shore in Maryland, the crop
has suffered most. In New Castle and
Kent Counties, Del, the growers say the
peach industry is almost run u owing 10
The vellows. n contagious disease of the
peach-tree. On the eastern shore of Mary
land, in Cecil County, also in Kent County
and upper Queen Anne Counties, the crop
is damaged and the trees permanently in-
jured. In these three counties a few
orchards only have good crops, but the
lower counties are tolerahly clear OF yell
lows up TO this time, There will not be
more than an eighth OF the usual crop in
all the territory named, and consequently
the farmers are getting double Sd the , asga,
price for the fruit. The crop IN New Jersey
is light, partly because of the severe win
ter. The spring drought caused the fruit
to drop badly.
