Russia realizes the absolute necessity
for additional railroads, in order to move
her crops and insure the settlement Of her
uninhabited territory, and has already
made elaborate plans for the next decade;
but while she posses natural resources OF
practically unlimited value, she lacks for
the present the ability to build the roads
without the aid Of foreign capital.
/ In view Of the recent loan successfully
fioated in France which will, 1t is believ-
ed, be used to build new railroads, the
following will be of interest:
The February earnings of railroads In
European Russia were "a ,03S 1862 rubles
(S1s, $3.50, against ,sS5 rubles $685.
So, 1850 in the previous year. an increase
OF SAT- rubles. In the first two months
Of the present year. the gross earnings 1s
were S. 46S, 062 rubles ($29. 07S,47O. and for
the same period Of the previous year o.
6S5, 62s rubles Is2S, 137, 349O, an increase or
1 g27, 433 rubles (S94 ,128. It appears that
during the same period there was a de-
crease in passengers this year or 2bS0SS,
but an increase in freight Of 4S,974,OO0 pools
793, 994 tons)
The greatest prospects OF railroad build
ing in European Russia are lines direct
to Viatka and Kief. The first would, II Is
estimated, open the enormous agricultural
northern district and very materially al
feet the Importance Of St. Petersburg: A
direct line TO Kief would diminish the time
taken in going to tnat town by at least
one-half.

The Tashkent and Chikment districts

the battle above the clouds at Lookout
mountain by a member Of the Eighteenth
Alabama and his close call, and it In
spires me to write something as I was
there, a private in Company G, dth Ala

Our regiment occupied some temporary
breastworks just below the pinnacle OF
Lookout on the morning OF the 23d OF NO
vember. 1868. The engagement commenced
at daylight. 1t was cloudy and rainy all
during the forenoon, the clouds and fog
hanging so thick at times we could see
only a few yards before us, hence, we
could not get at the situation of the enc
my but slSirmishing was going on In front
all the time. After a time the CLOUDS
lifted, the enemy sighted our situation
and brought their cannon to bear upon
us. They shelled us with such force
that our officers thought 1t best to fall
back from the breastworks to safer
ground, hence the rifle pits were lost to
us, There was nothing more than heavy
diminishing done during the day; night
came on, the skirmishers came In and a
strong picket was put out.
I was one OF the pickets and was sta
toned about eighty yards in front OF our
regiment on the line Of battle. young

company "a new reeruit), was put on with

S.ates. 1t has an enormous and steady
labor market in which to obtain workmen.
These workmen are the most efficient in
the world. They can now be housed and
fed comfortably at reasonable cost The
construction Of the tunnel system will in
directly raise the wages of thousands OF
mechanics ant workmen by reducing the
cost of living and rent.
A clerk in a downtown store, for exam
pie, anywhere from Forty-second street
south, can live twenty miles distant on
Long Island and yet reach his place Of
business in thirty minutes.
The trip from New York to Long Island
city through the tunnel win require about
three minutes, and from Thirty-third
street to Jersey City, let US say, only four
or five minutes. When the railroad tunnel
system is completed we can come to work
in New York every day from distance
of forty, miles in the country as quickly
as we now make the journey to Harlem.

it in. The table was upset, the
fan fell on the floor and the lady
was pulled out of bed. Her screams

Government Refuses TO Send Troops
TO Relieve Woods at I.awton.


Washington, Aug. Il. - The
secretary of the interior today
wired j r. Wood, who drew the
first homestead in the Lawton land
district, Oklahoma, and against
whose claim numerous notices Of
contest have been filed, that the
department cannot pass upon the
merits of the matter until it comes
here through the local office.
Wood telegraphed asking that
troops be sent to protect him in
the possession of his claim. The
department has declind this re-
quest.
Wood filed "a claim to 100 acres,
selecting the land in different shape
than that in which it had been sur
veyed by the government, so az
to make his quarter section stretch
along the townsite and be available
for town lots. This angered the
other entry men, and numerous
mineral and other claims were
staked out by them against the
land settled upon by Wood.
AS to whether any of the con-
tests will prove valid, the secretary
says that must be decided in the
future, after all the papers have
been reported upon by the local Of
icials and reviewed by the depart
ment,
