the Interests of Project to Connect
New York and Paris by Rail, Via tho
Berinq Sea Route.

San Francisco, July 15.-M. Locqui
Lobet member of the Geographical So
ciety, is here. He conceived the idea of
building a trans -Alasfa-Siberia rail-
road and thereby affording an all rail
route from New York to Paris, shift
ing the commercial axis from the Suez
canal to the Bering straits. In 1898
Lobet visited Alaska on a scientific
mission and it was there he first
thought of the great scheme that has
since interested many wealthy men Of
Europe and resulted in the formation
OF company which, he says, has
pledged him ample funds TO carry 1t out.
He is now making tour OF the world
in the interest of this railroad scheme
and it is this motive thai brought him
to San Francisco. In his proposed
route over the American continent,
Canada is eliminated. The present
plans outline a road across the United
States from New York to San Francis
co, thence northward thru California,
Oregon and Washington along the
coast to Juneau. thence to Fort Cudahy.
and thence to the most westerly point

Des Moines. July 15.-Sixty coal op-
orators have formulated series OF
charges against the local unions or the
United Mine Workers. which will be
submitted to the state executive board
of that organization. If the executive
board does not take steps to remedy

of the miners shall be submitted to an

Victoria, B. c., July 15.-According
to advices received by the steamer
Empress of India today the crisis in
the far east is close to the breaking
point and even the most conservative
journals fear war will ensue as result
OF the Russian Chinese intrigues.
Many newspapers are urging an ap-i
zeal to arms. A Pekin correspondent
of Mainchi says M. Lessars reference
to Russian preparedness is taken to
mean troops are now at Yaiu and that
the force along the coast of the Yell
low sea is in sufficient strength. The
Russian minister to Pekin also states
Alexieff that all the defensive methods
in view of the possible Japanese in
vasion are completed along the coast
of the Yellow sea and Korean frontier.
The United States fleet is still at Che-
foo and Japanese squadron is cruis-
ing in northern waters. A dispatch
from Masampho, Korea, says Russian
battle ships and seven torpedo boati
are lying there. An Osaka Mainchi
correspondent says Russian officials al
Pekin have been working to convincs
Prince Ching and the Chinese officials
that Japan's cordial reception to Rus
sia's war minister, General Kuropatkin,
shows that a Russo Japanese entente
is in making and the Anglo-Japanese
alliance is failing.
According to dispatches received by
Shanghai papers from Thibet great ex-
citement prevails there because Of thu
rumors that the British governments
is sending forces from India int
Thibet on account of the failure of the
boundary Negotiations with India.
Severe fighting has taken prsree-- a.
Litang, Thibet, between the people and
priests. The abbot of the monastry
defed Chinese interference, and fight
ing resulted, in which the priests wars
defeated and the abbott deposed.
Adyices from South China report the
rebels in Kwang 81 now stronger than
ever. The rebels have established q
provisional government and collect
taxes and enlist and drill troops, which
are paid regularly. The rule OF the
rebels holds thruout several districts
and the natives are quite contented.
Strict discipline is enforced by the
rebel officers. Arms and ammunition,
all modern, are continually being
brought from neighboring provinces.
The rebels, who are said to be gov
erned by a reform party. which has
branches in America, look upon the
district where the provisional govern
ment is established as headquarters Of
