RussIAN RAILWAYS.

The total distance from st. Peters
burg to Port Arthur by the Russian
trans-Siberian railway and the Rus
sian lines in Manchuria is 5.91S miles,
or practically twice the distance from
New York to San Francisco.
The adverse years. 1891 and 1892,
gave a new impetus to railway build
ing I'm order to give employment
to the starving peasantry' the. gov
eminent undertook and encouraged
the construction of new roads, A
new era of railway construction be-
gan with those years, which in its
vigor soon surpassed anything seen
not only in Russia itself but anywhere
else in Europe. While during these
years the number of versts opened for
traffic was but 1913 and 419. respec-
lively. the succeeding years mark the
beginning of an exceedingly energetic
expansion of the railway system,
whose termination does not seem to
be at hand.
At present franchises are eagerly
contested by competing corporations.
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
raiload corDorations. The ministries
of finance and transportation have,
during the latest years. been literally
swamped with petitions coming not
only from railroad and construction
companies, but also from representa-
tives of local interests" as mining,
manufacturing. and agricultural
groups. The length of Russian rail-
ways in Europe alone has consider
ably increased during the last ten
years. and surDasses now that of
France and Great Britain, respective
ly. being inferior only to that of Ger
many.
simultaneously with the redemption
of the greater part of Russian rail-
ways the government undertook the
difficult task of regulating the rail-
way tariffs for both passengers and
goods The principles adopted were
those of the zone tariff, and the
results of the innovation have been
very encouraging, for both passenger
and freight traffic have increased con
siderably since the introduction of the
new tariffs.
The present state of the Russian
railways, according to the recently
published returns of the ministry of
communications, is stated as follows:
At the beginning of 1902 the total
length of al Russian railways (exclu-
sive of railways in Finland) was 35,-
1877 miles, of which 2S,9S2 miles were
in European Russia, 5,13S represent
ed the length of railways in Asia lex
elusive of the Manehurian railway
and 1867 were secondary railways of
local character. OF this total of over
35,1S7 miles 23.557 miles. or 81 per
cent, were owned and operated by
the government The value of this
system, exclusive of the local second
airy roads, is given as 5,149, 399, 600
rubles. or about $4,000 rubIes per
verst. OF this grand total expended
in the construction of railways the
governments share is 4,914, $3.50
rubles. or about 90 ger cent. This
amount includes the value of all cor
Dorate securities, both stocks and
bonds, the income from which was
guaranteed by the government, those

of sthe state from Cedar Rapids, in
which you stated that you had in
structed your Chairman to accept the
challenge, and named time and place
for the opening meeting, at Ottumwa,
Oct. 5, and one meeting in each coun'
ty seat in the district.
At republican headquarters in Des
Moines, you were reported to have
stated that you had done this, and
were surprised that you had not been
advised Of arrangements for the meet
ing.
Today am advised that your com
mittee, in session in this city, has
declined to allow you to accept the
challenge to discuss the issues with
me, as you stated to the press you
had done, thereby gaining for your.
self state and national notoriety be
cause of your alleged willingness to
meet your opponent.
Therefore, feeling that your per,
sonal wishes in the matter have been
disregarded, and believing that you
are willing, as you stated to the press,
to meet me in joint discussion of the
issues, and that your wishes nave not
been properly considered by the com,
mittee, / therefore ask you personally
that you meet me in joint discussion
of the issues, before your constitu
ents lat such times and places between
now and election, as may be arranget
between yourself and me.
Because of the delay of your com.
mittee, the date suggested by you, OF
Oct. 5, for the first meeting, would be
impracticable, but would suggest two
meetings week, one in each county
seat in the district, the basis of dis.
cussion being the republican and
democratic platforms and principles,
and your record in congress, and the
issues now before the public
However, recognizing the rights of

venience in order that the voters of
the district may have an opportunity
to hear us jointly on the issues of. the
campaign, as the opposing candidates

reply to this request, and believing
that l shall do so, have the honor to
remain,
