N. Y. TO PARIS OVERLAND.
Time Probably Coming When Paris
and New York Will Have
/, Rail Connection.

Harry De Windt, the famous English
explorer and traveller. who is to give his
illustrated lecture at the Unitarian church
Saturday night on his overland trip from
Paris to New York has accomplished this ::
He has actually been over the general
route of a greater inter- continental rail-
way which has been dreamed of for many
years, and has been much-talked Of and
written about: l.-a..4..-.. H. --.. ..
1t is a. quarter of a. century since men,
observing the narrow strip of water that
separates Asia from Alaska, and observing
the rapid extension Of railway systems
throughout the world, began to speculate
on the feasibility of a railway that would
one day unite Paris and New York, Pres
ident j. J. Fill of the Great Northern
some years ago spoke Of the American
Siberian line as being one Of the posi-
bilities of the future i'll railway build
ing. A year ago a company was incor-
porated in New Jersey with the purpose
of building a new line from Minneapolis
and st. Paul northwest through Canada tc
Alaska. Of course, 1t is little more thar
a prospectus and a name now, but nebul-
Gus as it is 1t forecasts the future. f..
The coming development of the Peace
river country in northwestern Canada will
demand rail connection with Winnipeg

Rule to Get Cars Unoaded.
] Chicago; Feb. 13.-Radical measures are
being considered by the general managers
Of Chicago railroads to compel shippers
to accept quick delivery Of freight and
unload cars promptly. Among the meas
ures being considered Is a general no.
tice that if freight is not taken out Of
cars within twenty-four hours the cars
will be taken to the Stickney yards and
the shipments stored there subject to the
owners orders.
Some expedient, it Is claimed, is neces-
sary to clear the freight terminals Of all
roads and keep. them clear. z.,.
Attention is called to the fact that
while freight car equipment has been in
creased 400 per cent in the last few years
and traffic has Increased almost as phe-
nomenally, the terminal facilities Of the
railroads have not increased more than
2 per cent. The acquisition Of additional
