Washington, Aug. 12.-United States
Consul Smith, at Moscow, has in
formed the state department that a
private company, representing Moscow
and foreign capital, has been organ
lied to build a railroad to connect the
Central Asian with the Siberian roads
by a line from Andishan or Tashkent,
along the western frontier of China,
through the basins of the Irish and
OBJ rivers. The project is to have it
pass not only through the Akmolinsk
district, but through the southern dis.
tricts of the government of Tomsk.
This line would afford a short and con
venient route for shipping Central
Asian products to Eastern Siberia,
Mongolia and Manchuria and also for
bringing Chinese goods, especially tea,
into the s~Transcaspian provinces and
even to Northern Persia.
