Enaland's Politics,

London.-The continued existence of
the present government, after the past
eventful week in parliament, creates
surprise even among it's most faithful
supporters. Premier Balfour kept his
cabinet in power by majority of 46,
gained at the expense of what is uni
versally admitted to be personal de-
feat for the premier. For the first time
since the fiscal question became a live
issue in British politics, Joseph Cham
berlain's followers showed their inten.
lions and strength. No less than 10
members Of the house of commons put
themselves on record as willing to turn
over Balfour rather than sacrifice their
adherence to Mr.. Chamberlain's out
and out protectionist principles. AS
result Mr.. Balfour has foregone his per-
sonal policy Of retaliation and retains
Office only by the support of those
members of parliament who openly up
hold preferential and protective duties.

Experts Declare It Will Not Stand
Much Travel.


A dispatch from London says: 1.-THE
strength of the Russian railway is q
very important factor In the struggle
in the far east. Experts who have
travelled on the line declare that 1t
will not stand the strain of a continued
struggle. Undoubtedly in certain as
poets the railway appears very faulty,
but the enormous mileage probably ac-
counts for some of the laxity in con-
struction. The track, single one, is
such that only IT. miles an hour can
be covered by the light express trains
in Siberia and in Manchuria, Ill miles
an hour is the highest rate Of speed
commensurate with safety. The line
has numerous sidings, but these are
not sufficient to prevent congestion
when great pressure is put on the sys-
TEN. The most interesting and vital
portion of the great 1000 mile railway
is the passage of Lake Baikal. This
lake has an extent of over 10000
square miles and in places is as deep
as $500 feet Parts of the area have
never been plumbed. 1t is surrounded
by some of the hardest mountains
which railway engineer could en-
counter. The official plan includes a
railway around the southern end Of
Baikal, but this is not finished.
