OCEAN TO OCEAN.

New Route for TranscOnfinentat Traf-
 ac Almost Ready.
 New York Tribune.
 Next month, unless the completion of the, dredging work being done In the harbors of Coatzacoalcos and Sa- lima Cruz Is delayed by some unfore- seen accident the Tehauntepec National Railroad will be thrown open to trans- continental traffic, and the Panama Railroad no longer will be the domi- nant factor in inter-oceanic commerce. At least until the Panama Canal Is completed, many expect that the great CT burden of traffic between the Att lantic and the Pacific will be handled by the Tehuantepec National, on &C., count of geographical advantages. as 1t affords the shorter route between the chief commercial ports of the world.
 The isthmus of Tehuantepec is sit- uated in the Southern portion or Mexi- co, in the States of Oaxaca and Vera tance Is 125 miles Considering the fact that the Sierra Madre Mountain range crosses the isthmus, the terri tory is comparatively level. From the Atlantic, or GuR of Mexico side, the rise is gradual, eliminating in Chiv- ella Pass at height of only 730 feet From that point to the Pacific, or to the Gulf of Tehuantepee. the descent is abrupt.
 Even in the time of Emperor Charles V. of Spain the project or an inter oceanic route across the isthmus was considered. Hernando Cortez. after completing the conquest of Mexico, passed along the Tehuantepec isth-

mus on his expedition to Honduras. He was impressed with the advantages of the isthmus and secured large grant of land in that territory from the Emperor. Certez, in a letter to the Emperor. declared 1t his belief that a navigable strait existed, iead- ing from Coatzacoa1cos to the Pacific Ocean. While, it Is needless to say, nothing of the kind existed. surveys of the isthmus, which are remarkable for their accuracy, were made in the reign of Philip II in the sixteenth cen- tury, and of Charles III in the eigh- teenth Tn 1774. the Spanish viceroy, Don Antonio M. de Bucareii, sent Agustin Cramer, governor of the cas- tie of San Juan de Ulua. of Vera Cruz to survey the isthmus. Cramer was the first engineer to proclaim the pos sibility of opening a canal across 1t.
 After the survey by Cramer, nothing more. was done until 1924, when the State of Vera Cruz and the Federal government of Mexico sent commits sions to resurvey the isthmus. Both commissions recornmended that the Coatsaeoalcos River be made naviga- ble as far as possible and .hat car riage Gbad be constructed from that point to the Pacific Coast.
 In 1842 Santa Ana, then dictator of Mexico, granted Jose de Garay a con- cession 4o open up a line of commur nication by water and rail between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. But nothing practical was accomplished by him. Several other cntractors es- sayed the task in turn, until at last, in 1894, the road was finished But the government then recognized that much additional work would be nec- essary before the road could become a highway of interoceanic commerce and in 1902 1t entered into an ar- rangement with the English firm of s. Pearson and Son. Limited, whereby the latter undertook to bring the Te- hauntepec Railroad up to the re- qulsite standard of solidity for hand ling heavy traffic, to construct har- bor works at Coatzaeoalcos and Sa- lima Cruz, and to provide shipping fa- cililties at the terminal ports,
 Pearson and Son Immediately got to work. All the bridges of the Te- hauntepec line which were of wood were replaced with steel structures. and the road was relaid with eighty pound steel rails, heavily ballasted, curves and grades reduced. and every measure taken to protect the roadbed from damage from the storms which always cause railroads trouble in tropical countries. A little over two years ago the work on the railroad was completed and the construction of the harbor works was we'll unde. way. Now the harbor works nave

 tianffyss Cause.
 Paris, Jan. 5.--Count Leo Tolstoi has written a letter to Paul Sabatite, apro- DOS of the latter's recent book on the 6isestablishment of the church Tn France in which the famous Russian author predicts the possible reduction of all the Christian countries of the West to a state of vassalage equal 10 the Japanese and Oriental peoples.
 He bases his prediction upon the ground that 1t Is only in the Orient that religion and patriotism are synony- nous. In this letter Count Tolstoi dis plays his old time vigor of style and clearness of ideas He says in part;
 Religion is truth and goodness, the church is falsehood and evil. tell you frankly I cannot agree with those who believe the church Is an organiza- tion indispensable for religion, The church has ever been a cruel and lying institution which in seeking for tenn poral advantages has perverted and dls- torted the true Christian doctrine. All the conordats have been for nothing but compacts with the state whereby the church supported the state in return for specific material advantages.
 christianity has ever been simply a pretext for the church. I may be told that there have been and still are in the Catholic world men and women of holy life, but I, answer that these sainted lives are not due to the church, but rather in spite of the church.
 Tn spite of all the efforts of church and state to unite the two principles. true Christianity. Qove, humility ana kindness) and that of the state (phys- ical force and violence) the contradic- ton has become in our time so flag rant that a solution is bound to come.
 Several symptoms prove this. First, the religious movement is not confined to France. but exists in all Christian countries; second. the revolution in Russia; third. the extraordinary mill itary and industrial progress which is manifesting itself in the Orient"

stituts at Auburn, who is one of the prominent men of Alabama, was talk ing very earnestly this morning. de- precating any effort that was being made. if such an effort was being ex- erted, to move the Polytechnic Insti- tute from Auburn to Birmingham. Among other things. he said:
 Such agitation can only have the effect of dimming the brilliant pros- poets of the Auburn institution. IL ought to be stopped at once. The Polytechnic Institute is irrevocaely fixed at Auburn both by the constitu- ton of Alabama and by contract with the donors of property to the instttu. ton. Should the institution be moved from Auburn. tue property will go to the Methodist Church. l have not yet seen an alumnus of Auburn who fa- vors any such change.
 A gentleman present, who Is deeply concerned in the educational institu- tions of the State, also remarked that he, too, hoped that quietus would be put on the whole thing at the meeting of the alumni of Auburn in the Com mercial Club rooms. Monday night. The folly of the proposition Is apparent when it is we'll known that not single subscription of any substantially amount has ever been legally made by anybody or any corporation looking to the removal of the Polytechnic Insti- tute to Birmingham. He declared that he had made some inquiries and could not find that there was any suhstan- tiai basis for the remarks and pub lications which had been made in re- gard to the subject.
 tT was said at noon today, by an alumnus who had been invited to the meeting Monday night. that the whole thing had been declared off
