operation within two years. Arrange
ments for dockage facilities, transconti-
mental railway connections and trade
status of the ports are already being
considered, and the officials have met
with very satisfactory results in their
investigation. The country being opened
up by the Trans siberian railroad is
enormously populated, it's universal re-
sources are untouched, and the people
are acquiring new wants. 1t is land
where roads must be built and streams
brldged and from which coal may be ex-
ported; land where the people need
more cereals than they can raise and as
many beef and pork products and agri-
cultural implements and machinery as
they can pay for. On the seacoast there
is demand for American lumber, iron
and industrial machinery. With all
these resources Of trade to count upon
there ought, in the nature of things, to
be great business for Russia, in which
the United States will share. Concern
ing the opportunities in this part of the
world, Mr.. H. d. Pierce, first secretary
of the United States Embassy in Russia,
says: 1T is an immense field, far be-
yond anything realized by the people in
this country, Russia is just entering an
era of tremendous prosperity; sort of
commercial and industrial awakening.
Here is the new field for American en-
terprise and capital, for, with our Pacific
coast facilities, the PHILIPPINES and the
Trans-slberian railroad route, there is
ready access for our goods to the very
heart OF Russia. There is special op-
portunity for investments in steel and
iron industries, cotton mills and for the
manufacture of machinery and tools.
Then, too, our manufactured goods will
find almost llimiJable markets, although
Russia has protective tariff which is
encouraging her own industries. Still.
even with the tariff, she wants many of
our manufactured goods, such as steel
rails, as the home production is far short
of sufficient to supply the present state
Of development In fact there is hardly
a line of American industry which can
not find very profitable investment |
Russia. Moreover, Russia
regards American goods as better than
those of any other country, SO that this
favorable sentiment invites us to this
vast new field
1T is not too much to say that from |
the emperor down to the peasantry
there Is sincere friendship for us and a
desire to become acquainted with Amer
can methods and to make use in Russia
Of e skill and ingenuity which has ad-
'anced this country with such great
strides. For this reason there is a great
opening in Russia for American capital,
and for the introduction of American
and methods of doing busi-
1ess."

FRIDAY, AUGUST d, 1899.
DEMOCRACY AND SILVER.

While some of the Democratic organs
in this state are endeavoring to mislead
the public by proclaiming that w. j.
Bryan would be the democratic nominee
for president next year, and that silver
would be the leading issue of the Demo-
cratic party, Senator w. A. Clark is not
so sure about that and gives ii as his
opinion that neither Bryan nor silver
will cut much of figure in the next
national campaign. The Democrats have
been engaged in backs'iding for some
time and the only reason why some OF
the party's monthpieces are still pro-
claiming that Democracy will do some
thing for silver is the desire of convey
ing the truth to the public by degrees.
Repeated experiences clearly indicate
that the best men at The head and in the
ranks of the Democracy are always ready
to let go cause when they see it has no
prospects of success. That has been the
history of the party for nearly forty
years. 1t has never been consistent ex-
cept during the period when 1t was con-
trolled by the southerners, who insisted
upon making the preservation of slavery
it's leading policy. In all other things
than the idea of keeping men in bond
age the Democracy has always been un-
certain 1t has been on all sides of the
tariff question. 1t hurrahed for Vallan-
digham, greenDacks and reputation.
Later it was for hard money. To-mor-
row it may be for something else.
There is every reason for believing
that when the crucial moment arrives
for determining the course to be pur-
sued in 1900 by the Democracy that Mr.
Bryan will be compelled to yield his
views to those of the majority who now
plainly perceive that for the present, at
least, silver is a dead issue. 1t is pos
sible that some concession will be made
to the so-called silver wing, but it will
take no more substantial form than a
perfunctory Endorsement of the past
positions of the party on the money
question, which may be variously con-
strued.

THE POSTOFFICE CHANGE.

Among the changes that occurred in
the city with the beginning of the pres
ent month the postoffice change is per-
haps not the least worthy of mention
Mr.. Allen p. Bowie, the retiring post
master has served the community dur
ing the past four years or more in an
able and conscientious manner and to
the entire satisfaction Of the general
public, He was always courteous and
obli2ing and will be missed by the many
who daily call for their mail at the post
office window. The postmaster, more so
than any other public servant, is subject
to more or less criticism, since the nature
of his Office is such that it brings him
directly in contact with every resident in
the community 1t is difficult to please
every one; man who could perform
such task would have to be endowed
with qualities which the average human
being does not possess. The complaints
or criticisms during Mr. Bowie's inculn-
bency have been exceedingly few, and it
is to be hoped that the new postmaster
will attain the same level of perfection
in the eye of the public and give as good
satisfaction as did his predecessor.

EXPLODING GAS.
It Nearly Ends the Life of Young
Carl Clarke.

Carl Clarke.
Carl Clarke, shipping clerk in the
employ Of the Southern Pacific Com
parly, met with serious accident at
his home at 2601 N street yesterday,
and while the attending physicians are
hopeful Of his ultimate recovery, they
will give no unqualified opinion.
Clarke, who is about y years old,
together with young brother, were IN
the basement of the house, and the for
mer walked over to an old and dilapi-
dated gas generator. formerly used by
an elder brother for experimental pur-
poses. The young man knew little OF
nothing about generators, and just why
he interested himself is mystery to
the rest of the family. He was smok-
ing a cigar when he approached the ap-
paratus and picking up a pail of water
he poured some of it into the generator,
thereby causing the gas inside it to
escape.
When the escaping gas came into
contact with the burning cigar there
was an explosion, the top of the gener-
ator flying upward and striking Clarke
between the eyes.
The bridge of his nose was broken
IN three places, and for time it was
feared his eyesight was destroyed
Later developments, however, proved
that such was not the case.
1t is evident that the shock resulted
IN conclusion of the brain, for up to a
late hour last night the young man
was only partially conscious The ply
slclans express the belief that his skull
is not fractured, and have hopes that
he will recover
