THROUGH CHINA TO RUSSIA
Back Door Route" Offers the Gar
Chance to Regain Port.

CHICAGO, March 30.-Walter Well
man, in Washington special to the
Record Herald, says:
Russia will soon make peace with
Japan and will Immediately proceed to
outflank the victor commercially by
tapping the back door of China with
a new extension of the Trans-S Siberian
railway.
This prediction was made today by
a man who is thoroughly familiar with
the situation in the far east, and with
much that is going on behind the
scenes in st. Petersburg. The sug-
gestion which he makes is botn inter-
esting and important.
Peace Prospects Bright.
In the opinion of we'll Informed dip
Tomato here the prospect of bringing
the war to an end was never so bright
as now. All realize that there are diff
ficulties in the way, and that peace
cannot be assured until the papers are
signed, out lQTe Is general EeCOSul-
ton of the important elements of the
proposition which have already point
ed out, to-wit: Japan desires peace
and will make favorable terms; there
is no desire to humiliate Russia; no
territory now under the sovereignty
of the car need be coded. In lieu of
idemnity the Chinese Eastern railway
may be taken over by the Japanese,
and in addition Russia is willing to
pay large sum for the maintenance
of her prisoners held by Japan.
Peace Terms Not Far Apart.
Actually the two schemes of settle.
ment, the one outlined by Japan to
the kaiser and to President Roosevelt
a few weeks ago, and the one which
now comes from st. Petersburg as rep
resenting the opinion of the factions
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-03-30

which favor peace, and which at this
moment appears to have the upper
hand with the car are not far apart.
Once the car indicates willingness
to have negotiations undertaken, it
should not be a difficult matter to
reach an accommodation as to the
minor differences.
At this juncture comes the sugges-
the empire in a vain endeavor to hold
Mancnuria turn her energies to another
means of accomplishing her principal
object in the far east. 1t seems writ
ten in the book Of fate that Russia
must lose such rights as she has hith-
erto possessed in Mancnuria. With
the surrender of those rights goes the
railway from Hardin to Dalny, Port
Arthur and Nuichwang. 1t would
seem on the surface that as if Rus
sia's ambition to secure a commercial
outlet in the warmer waters of the
Pacific had been forever thwarted.
Back Door Route
But such is not the case" says my
informant Il have reason to believe
the Russian government, under the
leadership of Prince Hilkoff, a an well
known to me personally, and a most
brilliant and capable administrator he
| u.s. already mas in hand a project for
! outf1anking the Japanese and for
reaching the Pacific by a new route.
Prince Hilkoff is the manager of the
Trans Siberian railway. Once secure
peace and give him the necessary au-
thority and money, and it will not be
long until Russia has a railway to tbs
Pacific better looted and shorter than
the line which must now be lost
through the game of war.
From Lake Pr the new line would
run south, west of the Khingan noun
tains, across the plains of Mongolia
perhaps following the great caravan
route, and crossing the ALASKAN noun
tains into China proper not far from
the Great Wall, would arrive at Pc
king. It would be about 500 miles
shorter than the Hardin route. So fal
as the location of the railway is con.
cerned the thanking movement would

way into the county auditors office for

ton filed by Colonel H. E. Holmes.
Walla Walla's leading druggist in the
SOS. The credentianls We're filed near
iy % years ago, and showed the colon
els right to practice pharmacy in the
then Territory of Washington. The

, Gus vein that it's reproduction even at
this late day will recall to many old
pioneers the charming personality of
Colonel Holmes.
This is the way the colonel puts his
statement:
