THE SIBERIAN RAILROAD.

|APTA1N NASH1RO, a naval attache of the
| Japanese legation at St Petersburg, is reported
- to have stated in speech at a recent banquet
at Toxic that in his Judgment Russia will eventually
abandon the great undertaking of constructing rail
road across Siberia. He describes the difficulties in
the way as being we'll nigh insuperabe. Siberia, he
says suffers from severe cold weather for more than
half the year yet the work of construction was hur-
riedly pushed forward when the ground was frozen.
When weather came in the spring the ground
thawed and gaps were made in the line At some
places the joints of the rails were broken
There are many reasons why Japanese would not
look favorably upon the Russian project. The wish
is father the thought and the statesmen and the
military officials of Japan most certainly wish Russia
may never be able to provide means for the rapid
transport OF troops and military and naval stores
across Siberia the Asiatc coast 1t is quite prob
able, therefore, that the views of Captain Vashro
have been colored and distorted to some extent bv
his national prejudices
That the road does not give satisfaction has long
been known but Investigators attribute the de-
fects much to any insuperable difficulties of the
country traversed to the negligent or fraudulent
manner in which the contractors have done their
ton to the work than own and the London Mail
recently quoted a St Petersburg correspondent as
saying:
"In the first place the different works have been
executed in manner that shows very little con-
science Everything, or nearly everything, will have
to be done over again before the authorities can
think OF throwing open this gigantic line to regular
working. In very many places the road gives way
The San Francisco call., 1899-08-11

on the passage of train little heavier than usual
travelling at speed OF more than twenty miles an
hour and accidents more or less grave continually
happening More than usual courage is demanded OF
any one undertaking journey on this railway. This
construction la Russo has already swallowed up hun
dreds Of millions OF rubes or to speak more truth
fully, the constructors and not the construction have
absorbed the millions People are beginning to ask
how it will finish"
There is, however, another side to the story. Ac-
cording to reports made by American Consuls the
defects in the road are due solely to unwise
economy practced in the original construction. 1t
not foreseen that any great traffic would be car
ried the road and consequently the roadbed
and the rails inadequate to the immense pressure
which has been put upon them
Some statistics of the traffic OF the road given
by Consul General Holloway at St Petersburg and
are published in the Consular Reports for July.
By these it shown that the business Of the road IS
increasing with great rapdity In 1896 the western
section carried 100000 passengers and 37o.oooooo
pounds of freight, while in 1898 the number of pas
sengers had increased to 100000 and the freight to
over 1000 100000 pounds. The central section,
which in 1906 carried $1,000 passengers and 100000
pounds of freight carried in 1893 100000 passengers
and 303ooo,ooo pounds of freight.
The extraordinary development Of the traffic has
been too much for the ill-baasted roadbed and the
light rails used in the construction of the road, and
accordingly travel it is by no means pleasant
speedy There appears, however to be nothing in the
situation justify Captain Vashiros prediction that
Russia will eventually abandon the undertaking. On
the contrary, Consul General Holloway reports that
heavier rails being laid, sidetracks being put
in, and $4ooOoooo is to be expended in developing
the traffic by the construction OF branch lines.

MINGLING DIVERGENT MANKIND
Can the Contact of Two Races in
the Philippines Result BeneiiCi-
ally to Either?

To the Editor of The CaII-Sir: The
position of your journal in opposing the
permanent retention of the Philippine ISL
ands by the United States Government
is one that should commend itself to the
good sense and prudence Of every Amer
lean who being sincerely patriotic desires
the real and permanent welfare of his
nation, and not merely the tinsel glory
of defeating and subjugating a people
vastly inferior to our own In numbers,
wealth and civilization. Patriotism does
not mean that American citizens shall
be slavishly subservfent to temporary
leaders or to official representatives, but
only that we shall honestly strive to ac-
complish what we sincerely believe to be
for the nations greatest permanent good.
The problem involved in the subjuga-
ton and retention of the Philippines is
not one of mere political partisanship. 1
am now and have been for more than
twenty years an active member of the
Republican party, but I do not conceive
that It is my duty to defend or uphold
the tendencies of those members of my
party who have advocated the acquisi
ton Of new territory without careful con-
sideration of the race, civilization and
general character of the people who in
habit ii. In considering the problems
involved in what is termed expansion
the people of the United States should
rise above mere partisan politics, for the
result of their consideration and action
may have in the end a tremendous in
fuence upon the future of the nation.
and upon the happiness of the existing
population. or at least upon the welfare
of their immediate successors.
The problem of the Philippines may be
discussed from various standpoints. I
have selected for consideration in this
series of articles one feature of the ques-
ton which is usually overlooked. but
which seems to me to be more important
than those which customarily attract at
tention, and less capable of being dis
puted than other objections which are
made to the retention of the islands I
allude to the intermingling of races be

MOON ALMOST SHUT OUT.
SATURDAYS ECLIPSE WILL DE
NEXT TO TOTAL.

Only n Small Fraction of the Disk
VIII BE Left UnObscured During

Eclipse to Begin at GAS O'Clock

preach to Totally VIII BE About
$500 O'clOek-The Phenomenon
VIII Re Clearly Visible at Savan-
nah Unless Clouds Intervene.
Saturday. Dec. 10, there will be beau
tiful eclipse of the moon, plainly visible
throughout the United States. The eclipse
will be very nearly total, more than SO
per cent. of the moons dick being OBJ
scured
The times of the phases Of the eclipse in
18TH meridian time are as follows:
I'M S
Eclipse begins ...............6 A 81 p. m.
Middle of eclipse ............S % 90 p. m.
End OF eclipse ................l0 6 ~ p. m.
The first contact win be on the eastern
limb of the moon &c degrees from the
north point, and the last contact on the
western limb, SO degrees from the north
point.
1t is well known that a lunar eclipse is
caused by the moon passing through the
shadow of the earth, and that the curved
outline of the earth's shadow upon the
moons disk is one of the best proofs of
the earth's rotundity. These features win
be clearly observable on this occasion.
Since the body of the moon is itself
non-luminous, and is visible only by the
rays OF the sun falling upon it, It would
ha 4 ot,tf ra1x qrnr
view during a total eclipse. This how
ever. is not often the case. Even
when the moon is in the center
of the earth's shadow its disk is dimy
outlined in a dull copper-colored light
The reason for this is that those rays of
the sun which pass through our atmo-
sphere tangent to the surface of the earth
are refracted or bent by the atmosphere
into the shadow, and being deprived OF
their violet and blue elements they fall
upon the moon while in the shadow ana
family illuminate with a dull, red light.
As the eclipse will take place in the
early evening, and as it may be easily OBJ
served by anyone without instruments of
any kind, the phenomenon will be of con-
siderable interest.
The accuracy with which these eclipses
can be predicted is not the least wonderful
| thing about them. The times of the. sew
eral phases of this eclipse, for instance,
were computed more than two years ago,
| and although the problem is a very COM
| pick one, the observer may easily test the
accuracy of the results with a good watch
The next eclipse of Importance for this
section will be on May 2S. 1900 when a
grand total eclipse of the sun will sweep
across the Southern states from New Or
leans to Norfolk. This will be a very i'm
portant astronomical event, and 1t will be
duly noted in these columns beforehand.
