TO BREAK ALL RECORDS.
FROM COAST TO COAST.
Mss Roosevelt on Special Tram
Speeding to This City.
[Bv telegraph to The Tribune, ]

San Francisco, Oct 23-Niss Alice Roose-
Welt having arrived to-day from Yokohama IN
record breaking time, is now speeding East on q
special train over the Hartman roads, which
in conjunction with the steamship Siberia, IN
which Miss Roosevelt reached port, will at
tempt to break all previous records between
Yokohama and New-York.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company's liner
Siberia arrived at this port to-day direct from
Yokohama, in ten days, ten hours and twenty
eight minutes, the fastest previous trip be-
tween the two places having been made by her
sister ship. the Korea in ten days, eleven hours
and five minutes. The Siberia's time is twenty
eight minutes quicker than that of the Empress
of India's record from the Orient to Puget
Sound, though the distance covered was about
two hundred and seventy-five miles greater
The trauspacific record is held by the En-
press of China days and 1S hours. in 1901,
from Yokohama to Vancouver. Although it was
expected that Miss Roosevelt would spend few
DAYS, in and around San Francisco, all the pre-
vious plans were changed during the voyage,
and neither her party nor that of Mr.. Hartman
landed in San Francisco. Instead. they were
transferred from the Siberia to the tug Arab and
taken direct to Oakland. whence they left at
3.30 o'clock this afternoon for the East over the
ogden route of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
The train will run over the Union Pacific and the
Chicago and Northwestern lines to Chicago.
Here is what the fast train run will mean in
figures. San Francisco to Chicago, 2.;}49 miles;
,rcposed running time 80 hours; rate an hour
468S miles Chicago to New-York 9l3 miles;
proposed running time. 10 hours; rate an hour.
60S miles.
II will he the effort of Mr. Hartman to make
the race to Chicago in ifty-six hours fat six
bours faster than the best record standing at
this time.
The plan is to make the run from Chicago TO
Naw-York in fifteen hours, three hours under
-. record of the New-York Central flyer and of
the train which the Pennsylvania put on tor
time earlier in the season.
