MILEAGE FOR THE WEST.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-Though several
roads have declined TO give their ad-
herence to the plan it is probable that
the new 1000 interchangeable mileage
book will be put in operation on the
Western railroads during the coming
week. A majority of the principal
lines have joined in the plan and II
is believed that the rest will follow
suit when it is put in operation. The
new book will prove great
convenience to the traveller as IL will
be good on all trains and on all roads
belonging to the mileage bureau.

ner will probably go to st. Petersburg
shortly to renew his efforts TO secure the

The plans for building and eauipping
an adequate rapid transit system for st.
Petersburg alone involve the outlay OF
$60, 900. Part OF the system wis be
subway, and the bed OF the famous Cath
crime Canal will be used for a portion OF
the road.
Incidentally, the American projectors Of
this enterprise propose 10 give the Russian
capital a modern hospital. II will be neces-
sary to take the present municipal hospital
for a power house, and in its place the
syndicate proposes to erect and equip a
$780, 900 institution.
The personality OF Mr.. Werner. the NOV
ing spirit in this big enterprise, is strik-
ing one. Not much above medium height
and build. he yet gives the impression of
physical power, and his face shows de-
termination and tenacity. Like many other

now one of the owners of the Pittsburg
