In the current number Of the North Ameri-

around the southern end of Lake Baikal;
thence along the northern bank OF the Amur
River 10 Khabarovka. whence the line was to
continue due south along the Usuri River TO
Nladivostock Had this plan been followed
the railway could not have been completed
before 1905 at the earliest. Although the
lsiri section has been finished and is now
in noperation. the original plan has been mod
ifled in some degree, The railway now runs
straight from Irkutsk to Lake Baikal, across
which passengers and freight are ferried
special ice breakers being used during the
winter. From Mssoyaga, on the southeast
ern shore of the lake, the line runs to Onon,
whence il passes through Manchuria in a
southeasterly direction TO Vladivostock. a
branch OF the main Manchurian line leading
toPort Arthur. BY this change of route the
length Of the line has been reduced by
some three hundred and fifty miles and
great technical difficulties have been
avoided The consequence is that accord
ing to Mr. MIKHAIroFF, the railway will he
completed by 1902 so far as the present
single track Is concerned For thi, track n
double track will be substituted as rapidly
as possible, and it j. expected that within
ten years improved rails will bc laid over
the whole line. and that all the rolling stock
will be renewed
