THEY SETTLE IN MANcHURiA.
Russians Gather at Larger Railroad
Centers.


According to a report received at
the state department from United
States Commercial Agent Greener at
Vladivostock, Siberia, under date Of
July %, 1908, Russian settlements
have made their appearance at nearly
all the larger railroad stations in
Manchuria Besides railroad offices
and houses for employees, there are
being built many private dwellings,.
One impeachment to the expansion of
these settlements is that no regular
sales of lands have yet been arranged
for. 1t is said that there will be an
auction sale of lots next year. In the
meantime private persons are allowed
to occupy lots temporarily.
Regarding the affairs of Siberia,
Commercial Agent Greener says there
is a surveying party now engaged in
defining the route of the second ST.
berian railway The party will pro-
ject the line in such manner that
instead of four daily trains of 20 cars
each, nine trains of SO cars each will
run every "a hours. An appropriation
of $780, 900 has been made for this
Improvement. He also states that the
preliminary work for the railroad line
from Kiaklita to Pekin via Urga has
been accomplished.
