These figures include roads built not only by the State, which has it's hands full with the construction of the grand trans-Siberian Railway, but also by cor porauons whose activity now almost sur passes that of the early years of the de. cade beginning with 1870. the first period of great railway construction. when the building of roads, for some time at least, became the monopoly. of a few private companies. At present franchises are eagerly contested by competing corpora tions, q fact unheard of until recently in Russia, where the State, not so very long ago. had to guarantee the interest on the stock and bonds of the chief rail- road corporations. The Ministries of Finance and Transportation have, during
 the latest years, been literally swamped
 with petitions coming not only from rail- 1 road and construction companies. but also
 rom representatives of local interests" 1 as mining. manufacturing, and agricultu-
 rai groups. The length of Russian rail-
 ways in Europe alone has thus consider | aoIy increased during the last ten years
 and surpass now that of France and
 Great Britain, respectively, being inferior | only to that of Germany.
 | Simultaneously with the redemption of
 the greater part of Russian railways the Government undertook the difficult task \ of regulating the railway tariffs for botb | passengers and goods. The principles
 adopted were those of the zone tariff
 and the results of the innovation have
 been very encouraging, for both passen- ger and freight Hafae have increased considerably since the introduction of tho | neW tariffs.
 Phe present state of the Russian rau- l ways, according to She recently published peturnS Of che ministry of eommunica- tiOns, is stated as follows; At the begin 1iHg of 1Ss2 the tstal length of all Rus sieA railways (exsluslve of railways in Finland) was s5.1s7 miles. of which 2s .9S2 miles were in European Russia, 5,lSs rep resented the length of railways in Asia texclusive of the Manchurian Railway, and l'O67 were secondary railways of lo- cal character. Of this total of over 35 1s7 miles 3551 miles. or over 67 per cent. were owned and operated by the Govern ment. The value of this system, exclu- sive of the local secondary roads. is given as 5.lA9 3s9,0o0 rubles. or about s9. 9.oOO rubes per verst. Of this grand total expended

BURGLARS CRACK SAFES.
Desired Money Only and Went Away
 EEaptY Handed.

Courtland,> April r-(spe eiaI )-The news has reached here that the stores of W. D. Irwin and Windham & Co, at Moulton were burgarized Thursday night Notwithstanding the fact that Moulton Is country town, fourteen miles from the railroad, the work on these jobs. seems to have been the efforts of a pro- fessional. Irwins safe was blown open by nitro-glycerine. The charge was ex- actly the right proportion, as the lock only was broken and the door not blown off. Nothing of value was taken from either of the cstores. as the thief seem cd to have been in quest of money enly. and neither of the safes contained a slA- gle dollar:
 Phis is the second time that profession els have worked Noulton, and since the first burglary, the merchants have re- moved all of their msney frsm their safes each night.

carried their point Whatever minor
demands are in allegiance are left with
Manager Ahrens for future adjust

After comforting with the strikers
yesterday afternoon and going over the
/ entire situation. the strikers signified
their intention OF returning to duty

laborers and the plantation heretofore.
are wiped away by the settlement Mr.
Ozawa said last evening:
Now that Head Luna Patterson is
out, the Iaborers have no grievance
whatever against Manager Ahreras.
Furthermore, we, as the executive Off
GERS of the League want to state that
Manager Ahrens has been most liberal
in his concessions, and has done all he
could to meet the situation, consistent
with his position as manager. AS long
as the demands were within reason ne
was willing to make concessions. Man
ager Ahrans' attitude throughout was
favorable and the lab0rers are satisfied
with his treatment.
s.The result of the whole matter is
that the 1abcrers have agreed to 60 to-
work perfectly satisfied with the ad-
justment.''
