NEW YORK, Oct 26.-The TRANSIT

may take an unbroken railway journey

time of peace is the keynote Of Russian
policy as expressed by the czar, and this
great railroad is double triumph-com-

political, in which China is vitality inter-

Without doubt the muc'.-diso used :

hold the key. Her policy in Asia is dis

integrity Of China. Meantime Russia
p helps herself to what she wishes; the
gaining OF Manchuria now makes her do

The new railroad, extending as it will
