The 'posiibility of beating these re-
cords depends principally upon the new
:schedule of the» Trans-Siberian Rail-
road, which has not yet been eiseued.
The road is open now as far east as
Irkutsk, on Lake Baikal, but beyond that
IL is in the hands of the Bussian GOVC111-
ment,„ which is monopolizing it for the
transport of itsarmies from the scene
01 the recent war. Hoer Soon it will be
opened no °tie can tell, not even the
11115Stall Minister of Railways, to whom
the International Sleeping Car- Com-
pany applied a few weeks ago for infor-
mation whic1i would enable it to plan
round -the -world tours' » for the coming
season; and whit replied that» Ile WOUld
itdviSe them to make no such.plans over
the Teens -Siberian road for the present.
But by next year Russia will have ceased
to Deed the road for military purposes,
and the line will lia.ve.been so improved
and repaired that it 'will be possible
greatly to reduce the running time be-
tween SL Petersburg and the Pacific.
Prince Hilkoffe the Russian Minister
of Railways, made the prediction a few
Years ego that it Would soon be passible
to go around the world in thirtytthree
daysh and when asked. for details gave
the following figures: New York to
Bremen, » 7 ..clays; Bremen to St. Peters-
burg, 1% days; St. Petersburg to Vladi-
vostok, 10 days; Vladivostok to San
Franciseo; 10 days ; San Francisco to
.Nev York, 4% days. Bit Prince Hil-
koff's figures have never »yet been ap-
proaahed. Instead of 10 days from St.
Petersburg to Vladivostok it takes 17,
and often much longer, and instead» of 10
days from Vladivostalc be San Francisco.
the fastest steamers take 12 from Yoke-
•harna to Vancouver, and anywhere from
three 'days to a week must be added to
this for getting frorn Vladiv.ostok to
Yokohama. 'Again, he made no allow-
ance for time lost .in making connec-
tions.
. But that Prince Hilkoft predicted ten-
day trains across Asia es.good evidence
that1 they are not only possible, but that,
it is the intention of the Government to
have them in operation. It is not im-
probable that they may be running next
year, in which event it should be easy
fo reduce Mr. Frederick's record by
nearly a week » to forty-eight or even
forty-seven days.

MISER LIVED IN MISERY..
Gold and Notes to the Value of 850,009
e Fetund in His Rooms.
An extraotdinary story of a miser's
misery and wealth was told to the
Middlesex (England) coroner the other
day, when an inquest was held at Ed-
monton Workhouse on the body of John
Sewell, aged 71, who died in the infirm-
ary.
About a week ago the man was re-
moved to the workhouse in a most
wretched condition from his house in
Handewortte road. Tile house itself was
more like a pigety than a human habi-
tation,. but when searched £440 in gold
and £465 in „notes were found, while
script to the value of at least .110,000
was lying about the rooms. The „place
was a veritable treasure house.
In addition to the treasure, there was
also a well -stocked armory, consisting
of four loaded revolvers, MItilber of
powerful air mins, and a long knife.
Mte. Coventon, who lived 'next door,
told the coroner that Sewell never per-
mitted anyone to enter the house, and
he never spoke to the neighbors. About
ten days ago, as she wild not hear him
moeing, about, she wept to the police,
bet when'a constable went to the house
and . called out, aeking Sewell if he
wanted anything, the man answered
'On Monday groans were heard, and
the police again went to the house. They
found the front door locked and barri-
caded, but broke ip from the back.
Sewell, dressed in indescribably ditty
rags, lay on thet floor of one of the
rooms. Ile was 'Very ,weak, 'but when
the police entered the room he streg.
-gled to reach -a knife at his side, and
when this was taken away from him
loaded revolver was found in his
pocket. There was only a bed in the
