Distances upon this line are almost beyond comprehension, In Siberia it stretches for 3,500 miles; in -Man- churia for -1'141, more. In other words, a traveller from Port Arthur to the frontier of European Russia passes ovor a distance greater than from Southampton to Rio Janeiro, and almost four times longer than from London to Gibraltar. In many Parts the track Inas bean hastily Iaicl. In one spot it is brok- en by on inland sea.

That is the question time alone can tell us. LINE GUARDED, On February u I sighted Danny in a Zlussian steamer. It had been stated that the harbor was already mined, but this 1 can scarcely believe, for we passengers were not sent below; no boat came out to pilot or warn us, and our ship steered straight for the wharf without any show of anxi- ety beim captain or crew, The harbor is unlortifned save for the hypothetical mines. The town is a melancholy place, newly built in an arid, tireless desert, over which the bitter winds blew viciously be- neath the cruel winter sky. I entered tho armored train and away we went a a good 15 miles an hour over the broad plains of Manchuria. Sentries and blockhouses dotted the line. The trade was fairly laid—as, indeed, it ought to he, considering that Russia spent over . ninety millions on her Manchurian system There aro plen- ty of rich officials, however, who grew to sudden wealth while superintending its constrlrction. Before wo came to Mukdel tate line passed through a low-lying hollow in the land. The place was evidently considered noon -threatened, for an iron bridge was in course of con- struction to our right. The spring thaws will give great trouble hero unless the work bo completed in time, which I now think is extremely un- likely, There were Some curious people on the train. Before we reached Lake Baikal I had come in contact with Poles, Lithunians, met from the Baltic and Black Seo., Caucasians, Germans and Circassians. Near Tlnrbin I heard of the °lit- break of war, and great was the dis- cussion that diose. , Tho man who sat next to me was a Polish student, who had been exiled to Siberia for having Socialistic books in his pos- session. IIo had been summoned to joie a regiment at Irkutsk', and spoke very bitterly on the subject. they have broken up my family," 110 said "for both my brothers aro in prises, and not- they have asked mo to tight for them.

We met few troops until after wo had risen the mountains on the' Dftulchurtan fron- tier—o, tango which may play no small part if, the' Japanese succeed, for it is behoved that, should they prove victorious, they will hold the posses against tate Russians. \Vital the mountains behind us, we rolled over high. tablelands, As we advanced, the troop trains grew 31101'0 numerous, and before We arriv- ed at Lake Baikal there were two in almost every siding that wo passed, Officers told x110 that tho mon who were hastening up were Siberian re- cruits in early stages of training. Many of them were not in uniform; 'some were noisy and abusive; others .stared out of the windows with the ,:nelancholy aspect of men who .lid snot fancy the work before them Ono :,rain -load were reasonably cheerful, ;singing a chorus which ]harped on a nentence which, being traltelatod, ran, 'Off to Manchuria to -day."
