Railroad News
STANTON EXPECTS
N. P. EXTENSION

Stanton Republican: After taking
all things in consideration there can be
no possible reason why the railroad
should not be In Stanton during the
fore part of the coming season. As is
known by most of our readers the
rails were laid as far as Sanger last
season. They have erected a neat and
commodious depot there and estab
lished a temporary train service. Now
as far as business is concerned they
have accomplished nothing, as that
territory shipped most OF their pro-
duce over the n. P. before. II looks
reasonable to believe they will push
their line through at the earliest con-
venience as a large quantity Of rails
and building material have been
brought to Sanger, and we understand
the track laying machine is also side
tracked at that place.
There was every reason for their
not building last year, the principal
one being the crop failure, also the
strinsency of the money market and
more immediate competition on other
branches. However, at this time pros
poets for crop are good and their
branches are nearly completed thus
we are very hopeful OF getting rail-
road connections as soon as practi-
cable. The grade which is completed
into Stanton needs very little repair
ing and will require but a short time
to put it in excellent condition. Two
surveys leave Stanton. one which was
only preliminary surveyed passing up
Knife river and Spring creek into
Dunn county, another going directly
north from Stanton following the Mis-
souri, river on a water level grade.
On this route the right-o has
been purchased and paid for, for the
entire length Of the county and a per-
manent survey established. II the road
comes the terminus will undoubtedly
be at Stanton for a couple of years.

IEE NEW CHINESE ARNH
bR1DGTNG A RIVER

The New York Journal of Commerce
has the following resume of the dis
pute between Russia and China:
The relations between Russia and
China in that vast region which lies
south of the frontier of Siberia and
north of Tibert east of the Khanates
of central Asia and west of the great
wall of China have long been in
condition of unstable equilibrium. The
present trouble, which has suddenly
assumed threatening proportions, has
grown out of the rebellion which sue
cessfully asserted itself in the far
western province of Iii forty years ago
and before which Chinese authority
temporarily disappeared. A particularly
resourceful Tartar chief, Yakub Beg,
had already snatched Kashgar from
the weak hands of China and was dis
playing there the qualities of really
great administrator. But Russia was
already in Bokhara and had no mind
to permit the possibility of Yakub ex-
tending his rule still further in Chinese
Turkestan So the Russian government
occupied in 1871 the capital and fort
ress of the province of ILL., the city of
Kulda, to the unconcealed irritation of
Great Britain and the genuine alarm of
China. The latter had to be content
with the promise that the territory
would be restored when Chinese auth
ority was established beyond the
desert. This is about the only promise
that, in her advance across Asia, Russia
has faithfully kept But in 1881 she did
surrender Kulda and all the district
which 1t dominates into the hands of
China, and it is on the alleged ground
of q perverse disposition on the part
of the Chinese authorities to disregard
the provisions of the treaty then con-
cluded that Russia threatens what is
virtually an act of war Whatever
amount of justice Russia may have in
her contention regarding the obliga-
tions OF this treaty, the world will be
disposed to look for more substantial
reasons for this resumption on her part
of the role of Asiatic bully. The re-
organization Of China, and with it the
growth of national strength and unity,
may be proceeding faster than suits
the plans Of Russia to absorb some
more of the territory to which China
is still nominally suzerain. Russian
military railway and commercial acti-
witty along the Monaghan border has
for many years seriously alarmed the
government at Pekin. 1t has been
felt that the only way the distant prov
inces of China can be saved to the
empire is by binding them to the
center by railroad communication.
This conviction was pressed home by
the obvious peril which threatens
Chinese Turkestan in the Russian Gen.
trail Asian military railway system,
with its chain of garrisons and it's
ample reserves of troops and NUM-
tons of war

exploration party left ST. Petersburg

Clarence Eddy in Texas.

Musical Courier: Clarence Eddy's
organ recital at the First Presbyterian
church, Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. 9, was
under the auspices of the Presbyterian
choir. The church, seating 1900, was
crowded to the doors, the best people
in this vicinity attending. The organ
which Mr.. Eddy played on this oc-
casion was one he dedicated two years
ago. This artist is a great favorite
in the musical centers of this state.
He always receives the welcome re-
served for those we cherish. His pro-
gramme last week was a rare delight
and once more his admirers left the
church expressing their appreciation OF
the treat he gave them.

and Hami through the panhandle Of
the Chinese province of Kansu to
Lanchow, thus connecting with the
proposed line from that point to the
intersection of the Pekin-Hankow rail-
way near Kaifengfu, or paralleling it
northWard to Pekin by one or other Of
the branches which have already been
traced on the railroad map of China.
This would give Russia another trans
Asian line without touching the trans
Siberian at any point. but in face Of
Chinese opposition its execution has
been held in allegiance. The fact re-
mains that not only Russian, but also
Great Britain and France have brought
to the Chinese frontier lines Of railway
whose strategic Importance is rather
more obvious than their commercial ne
cessity. France has constructed her
meter-gauge military line from Hanoi
to the border Of KWangsi and has
pushed the Laokai line into the heart
of Yunnan. To the southwest Great
Britain from her stronghold in Burma,
has followed up the great valley of the
Irrawaddy, and her railways terminate
within few miles of Yunnan. In Man
churia, Russia and Japan regard it az
essential to their own safety that no
ether power shall participate in rail-
road construction without their con-
sent. Thus foreign-controllcd rail.
ways impinge at every point on the
territory of Crina, which is as yet
very imperfectly bound together by
railway communication. The situation
contains abvious possibilities Of inter-
national disturbance on less than OF
peril to the integrity of the Chinese
Empire. The influence which the
United States can exert in the con-
tingencies arising out Of the present
trouble ought to be of considerable
value to China It is useless to de-
plore the circumstances under which
our diplomacy has proved effectual,
mainly in encouraging China to as
sumo position which she could not
maintain and in encouraging her am
bilious neighbors to make common
cause with each other. The disinter-
estedness of our friendship with China
is at least not open to dispute, and that
ought to go long way toward fitting
our government for the position Of
mediator in the crisis which seems to
be impending.

for Central Asia, there came the news
that the Governor of Kashgar had ap-
piled to Pekin for a reinforcement of
$4,000 troops. The peaceful character
of the expedition did not prevent its
being regarded as merely another step
in the process by which Russia was
moving steadily forward through her
railway and military outposts into
Chinese Turkestan. Even then it was
obvious that the trade of Yarkand and
Kashgar which had long found it's
way to India through Kashmir, would
shortly be diverted to the far easier
route to the Russian rail head, and
that the caravan trade over the high
passes of the Himalayas would grad
tally suffer extinction The issue of
the war with Japan in checking the
line of Russian aggression in the north
may be found to have lent it new vigor
in the west and south. The Russian
Central Asian and trans-Caspian rail-
way system terminates at Andijan,
within 100 miles from the border of
Chinese Turkestan and within an easy
march of Kashgar. A Russian mill
tary post road commands the approach
to the province of Iii, which has been
characterized as the gem of Central
Asia. Here a Russian consul with
a Cossack escort, a Russian post anc
telegraph office holds extra territorial
sway over half of the inhabitants, who
are Russian subjects, and hither the
center Of interest of international pol
itics has suddenly shifted. Most OBJ
servers of the situation in Iii have
held that the province, would cease
to be Chinese again on the day that
Russia willed it. Whether that day
has come is a question about which the
powers that pledged themselves to re-
spect the territorial integrity of China
ought to have something to say. 1t
seems hardly conceivable that Russia
would have adopted her present nina
tory attitude toward China in regard
to the administration of Iii and her
commercial rights in Chinese Turke-
stan and Mongolia without previous
consultation with Great Britain and
Japan In such case it is probable
that no issue beyond the capacity OF
the Hague tribunal to adjust has yet
been raised between the two empires.
There remain the ambitious schemes
of Russia to extend her military rail.
