SLEEPERS TO VLADIVAST0CK,
J. p. Morgan is Getting Control OF
the Line from Paris.

the Line from Paris
| Copyright, 1912. by the Press Publishing
| Company. New York World; Special
Cable to the Dispatch.)
PARIS, December 27.-J. p. Morgan and
| Charles NJ. Schwab have now acquired
one tenth of the 100000 shares of the
International Sleeping-Car Company,
through from Moscow, across Asia,
| through Siberia, to Vladivostock, on the
Pacific ocean.
The international Seepin-Car Com
pany's latest issue consisted Of 5000 pre-
ferred shares. Mr.. Schwab applied for
them ALL but the directors, alarmed at
! the thought OF allowing the head Of the
! American Steel Trust to get too large
an interest, only let him have 5000.
A few months later Mr.. Iorgon came to
Europe and bought between 5000 and
5000 shares.
Subsequently the shares rose. and Mr..
Schwab increased his holdings, until now
ne has 14,000 or 15000 shares.
Mr.. Nagelmackers, the head of the
sleeping-car company, and surerintend-
ent Of the great railway line which con-
meets Moscow with Vladivostock, Port
Arthur and Port Dalni, IN talking Of
the stupendous enterprise said:
The sleeping-car company is now run
ming Its trans from MOSCOW TO 1rkoutSk
and Lake Bain1al. A dining car is added
to the ordinary trains on the other side
Of the lake, which go as far as the Man
churian frontier. Next June trains will
run to Vladivostock Dani, and Port
Arthur. The distance from Moscow to
Port Arthur is over 600O miles.
cat the commencement the journey
will take about twelve days, but when
the line gets into good working order
we hope to cover the distance in nine
days. Passengers from London or Paris
by the trans Siberian railway now reach
Pelling and Shanghai in twenty days.
In a few months the time will be re-
duced to fourteen days.
THE same journey by the old steam
ship route takes from thirty-siX to thirty
eight days.
Although the journey only takes half
the time required by the old route, the
fare is about $40 less than by steamer"

PARIS, December 27.-oince two promi-
nent literary men Of Paris have had at
tacls of typhoid fever. brought or by eat
ing oysters, an investigation has been
made OF the oyster beds along the Goa ST.
They are reported in good condition, and.
according to the Board of Health nothing
is to be feared from the French oyster.
The imported bivalye, if any, is infected.
Close observation of the dealers in the
city has brought to light a practice which
is probably at the root of the whole
trouble. The marennes and arcachons,
to be seen at every wine merchants shop
door, are generally held down by small
stones. The oyster, when the supply of
seawater within its shell is exhausted,
naturally opens to breathe. This practice
of shutting them up with stones has a
tendency to kill them The danger lies
in eating them dead.
