men made daring attempt TO rob the safe
in the ticket office of the Pennsylvania Rail-

tective's heart.

rnE czAR'S UKASE.

The czlr Jf Russia has promulgated an ukase admitting all American miners to Siberia. The Russian government has ev- identiv been Struck with the enterprise and thrift 0f the Amsricin people ln de .~rv1rus 0f1so tduI northern BduSh Amer lea, and seeks bv this method to secure the development of Siberia. The con>tfutti.n of the trans-S.beriln railroad has been a great drain on Russian resources, and it Is imperative thlt aD income be derived from the enterprise at IS carly date lS poSsi- ble. lt would b- te,lIeS tetcr the 'oli would pay its operating expenses, in all probability, .i ,ae slow going and impoy- sriShsi Russian people were jepsniei upon Co furnish i,s bl>.ne s. This Is no doubt the se,ret of RI>sil'- gressnt move.
 There lre stories decades 0ll oi the mar veIous riches of Siberian mines, and, in the light of the great Alaska discoveries of recent wears, there IS every probability Of the stories proving true. While Amer leans have so much promising country of their own remaining unprospet,sd it Is probable that thev will be slow to accept the Russian invitation, but ,f the invita- ton prove a continuing one. it will be but a question of time until an Anglo-SlXon stream wil be pouring into Siberia. Then will new life be infused into the Russian government. lt does not require a vivid imagination Co picture Siberia. in the wears to come. as the most progressive and wedlthies, potion of the Russian empire.
 This invitation of the czlr, coming SO closely upon the acquisition of the Philip pine islands, Is more portsntiouS than at first appears. With the great natural sup ply depots for the Orient on the American Pacifc cost. a strong Americ n population In Siberil, the open door policy established In China, and the Philippines American territory. it does not require d prophet to foresee the United St ties the great all con- trolling power on the Pacific ocean. The American commercial invasion Of the Orient has already commenced. The ezar has but opened another door to our enter prise. lt Is no, an idle dream to picture Eastern Asia overrun with the expsndlng civilization Of North America.
