BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST PETERSBURB, March 10.--A
more favorable attitude is being taken
here toward the dazzling scheme for
tunnel under Bering strait and an all
Europe.
Baron Loique de Lobel, representing
the American Trans-Alaska Siberian
company, is again pressing the project
vigorously and has made considerable
progress toward securing a desired
concession from Russia.
A distinct party of the government,
which has the sympathy of Premier
Witte, earnestly favors closer COM
mercial relations between the United
States and Russia, and this project ap-
peals to it, not only as method for
accomplishing this end but for de-
veloping the resources of Siberia
The company, which believes the
Siberian side is as rich in gold as the
Alaskan side, offers to construct the
tunnel and build road 5000 miles in
length from East Cape to Kansk, in
the government of Yeniseis, where 1T
will join the Siberian railway, on con-
dition that alternate sections of eight
miles on either side of the line. to-
gether with the mining concessions
covered, be granted the company.
Reports FavorabIy Received
Reports concerning the engineering
difficulties and the financial RESPONSE
bility of the promoters; etc, have been
submitted and were favorably received
by the ministers. Emperor Nicholas
has created a mixed commission be-
fore which Baron de Lobel will make
final argument, March 15. and ask for
eighteen months in which to complete
arrangements and ten years to finish
the road.
Should Russia. for strategic reasons.
ask that the road, instead of following
the Lena river, go directly eastward
from Kansk to the point whence con-
nection will be made with Khabaroska,
involving a detour of 1900 miles, the
company is willing to accept this on
condition that American. materials be
admitted free.
Generally speaking. the activity of
Americans in seeking to secure con-
cessions, has aroused the ire of the
Radical papers, which see therein an
attempt on the part of the old
bureaucracy to "sell Russia to for
eigners on the eve of the convocation
of the douma."
Recalls Old Scheme
Wendell Jackson's canal scheme to
connect the Black and the Baltic seas,
which is an old iroject, originally pro-
posed for purely strategic reasons in
order to enable Russia to move war
ships quickly to the sea front, is now
a purely commercial scheme.
The depth of the canal is to be 16
feet. Supplementary surveys Mr..
Jaclxson has made has obtained him
the preference in the matter for the
contract for construction, but the gov
eminent reserves the right to give the
contract to Russians, in which case Mr..
Jackson is to be indemnified in the
sum of 100000.
