that speed through the water. If he goes
up river against a current of five miles

miles through the water: but with respect
to the shore he will make only ten miles.

1t was through a letter from his excel

an interview by Prince Hilkor. the great
Russian railroad builder ard manager.
Prince Hlkoff Is one of the chief members
of the czar's cabinet. He Is an actual prfvy
councillor and Is the minister of public
works and railroads Of this the greatest
empire of the world. He has held this pO
sition since 1895 and 1t Is largely through
him that the Russians have become the
most advanced railroad constructors OF
the nations. During his administration al
most thirteen thousand miles of railroads
have been built. or considerably more than
one-third of the railroad mileage OF the
land of the car. He has pushed the Trans
Siberian road to completion. he has extend
ed the lines in southern Asia and has built
thousands of miles in European Russia
No man in the world is better posted upon
railroad matters than Prince Hilkoff. He
has an accurate knowledge of every road
in Europe. he knows Asia better than
many Americans know their own state. and

He was well educated, and after graduation
chose the railway as his life work. He had
