RUSTCARD IN
WASHINGTON
Says Judge NOyes Scandals Are
Still Doing Alaska
Harm.

Washington, Jan. 20-SOOn after thu
arrival of John Rustgard, of Nome
Alaska, who came to Washington fol
the purpose of securing some needed
legislation, he was advised by his ole
friend Senator Nelson, that an appoint
ment had been bestowed upon him.
This was news to Mr.. Rustgard, and
on being informed that he had been
designated as world fairs commits
sioner from Alaska to the Louisiana
Purchase exposition, he went up to the
interior department to see about it.
After chasing around for an hour or
so the Nome lawyer found that his COM
mission had been mailed sometime in
September last.
"Well it has just about got up there
by this time, remarked Mr.. Rustgard.
"And as left there in October and
cannot possibly reach Nome again be-
fore the LIST of June, | fear that the
appointment will do me very little
good. The fact is that the interior de-
partment has managed the thing very
badly. find that there is $50, 600
appropriated for an Alaska display at
St. Louis. But all we will have at the
big fair will be some native Eslsmos
and some reindeer. There will be no
mineral display whatever.
at would be impossible now to get
up an exhibit, for this exposition. 1t
would take year at least.
"However, we will not deplore the
fact of being left out at St. Louis. We
are far more interested in obtaining
the needed recognition by congress for
Alaska. The trip of the United States
senators up there last summer ought to
help Us But I find disposition since
my arrival here not to do much for
Alaska this winter. The Judge Noyes
case and all the scandals connected
with it set our territory back so far as
congres, is concerned Tor couple of
years at least"

The other bill restores the prison

RUSS|A'S GREAT RAILWAY
Will Be of Little Use in the Transportation of
Troops and War Supplies Be at the
Mercy of the Japanese Should the War
Be Carried Into ManChuria.

Seattle, Feb. S.-"The Transsiberian
railroad is entirely inadequate for the
transportation of immense bodies OF
troops such as will have to be moved in
this conflict with Japan. The railroad
has not sufficient rolling stock, it's rails
are too light to stand any amount OF
heavy traffic, and the entire right-of-
way presents unlimited opportunities
for japanese spies to blow up bridges
and demolish the tracks"
This statement is made by w. b.
Hampson, chief engineer at the state
university, who, when the engines for
the Siberian railroad were being con-
structe1 by the Baldwin Locomotive
Works. in Philadelphia, was employed
by them as foreman in the wrecking
shops, and had an opportunity to be-
come acquainted with the special COM
missioner sent over here from Russia
to supervise the construction OF the To-
cOmOtives, and to learn from him of
what practical use the new road was.
Mr.. Hampson was seen last night by a
Post-Intelligencer reporter, and fur.
nished the following information:
Only Eighty Engines.
81 consider the Transsiberian rail-
road of no practical use in time of war.
When in Philadelphia four years ago,
l got q pretty clear insight from the
special commissioner as to the methods
used in the construction Of the road,
and from the knowledge that l gained
there can say that the line is even Of
less real benefit to Russia than is gen.
orally supposed in this country.
THE Baldwin Locomotive Works, at
the time was connected with them,
turned out eighty engines for Russia.
They were unusually heavy and power
full ones, constructed on both the screw
and lever principles, whereas the en-
gines used in this country and in Eu-
rope are either entirely screw engines
or entirely lever machines. Those we
turned out for Russia were different in
many points from the ones in use in any
other country. They were Of Eve
foot gauge. This unusual size was
ordered 50 that in war time no other
engines could be placed on the tracks
save those belonging to Russia.
"The rails on the Transsiberian road
weigh forty-fve pounds. This is about
one-half the weight Of the rails used on
the roads Of this country. Our stand
ard weight is from 80 to 100 pounds. l
do not know Of single American road,
even the most one-horse one, using less
than sixty-pound rails.
Rails Are Too Light.
81 do not consider that with forty
fve.foot rail the officials of the road
will be able to use it to any great ad-
vantage. Heavy traffic will simply

pound the tracks to pieces. 1t cannot
possibly stand the strain of the trans
portation of large bodies OF troops and
supplies. If their engines were lighter
the rails might stand the strain better,
but with their heavy engines, and, 1
suppose, proportionately heavy rolling
stock, 1t will be case of the road be-
ing in terrible shape all through the
war.
ut is said that Japan has her spies
out all along the right-of-way, ready to
RAE the rails and to blow up bridges
whenever they get orders to that effect.
In this case their work will be easy.
All they will have to do is to pull out
a few spikes or build big fire on the
rails, and the thing will be up to the
wrecking crews. 1t will be the same
thing with the bridges. Succeed in
blowing up a few of these and the road
is crippled right away. They cannot
make steel bridges in Russia now any
better than they could four years ago,
and they certainly cannot patch up de-
molished bridges with woodwork so
that they will be able to stand any
severe strain.
81 have never heard that the road
ever purchased any additional engines
besides the ones that saw constructed
Owing to its unusual gauge, Russia
cannot purchase any engines for her
road ready made. She has got to have
them constructed either here or in
Europe. What is to prevent japanese
spies from blowing up number of
engines and thus absolutely Gripping
the road?
Ice Navigation Bad.
CAT Lake Baikal there is ferry 100
miles long. At this season of the year
trains, or the contents of the trains,
have to be hauled over tho ice for that
distance. All along the right-Of-way
there are numberless bridges spanning
streams and canyons. There was never
q finer opportunity in the world for a
belligerent nation to step in and destroy
almost the sole means of communica-
ton its enemy has for reaching the
scene of hostilities.
81 believe that it will be impossible
for Russia to move troops overland save
by means OF this road. She can, it is
true, move them by water, but at this
time Of the year all her available har-
bors are ice-bound, and although she
has perfected splendid system of ice
crushing machines, the work of ship
ping troops and supplies by water must
necessarily be slow. Altogether, con-
slider that Russia is in bad way as far
as her facilities for landing troops at
the scene of actual hostilities are con-
cerned. Japan has chosen a strategic
time to push things"
