The Bussian Government has finally de

project The new line is to connect Europe
with tbe Pacific coast at Vladivostoek
through Siberia. It will open up rich gold
mines and diamond and rnby mines that are
unrivaled, beside Taluable agricultural
lands. General Annenkoff, the builder of
the trans-Caspian road, is the active spirit
of the new enterprise.
CCOKBXSrOXDXXCX or tits sisfjltch.
Sx. Peteesbukg, February 1. A final
decision has at last been reached by the
Imperial Government regarding the trans
Siberian railroad. The work of construc
tion is to be commenced at once, and pushed
vigorously to completion. Surveys have
been made with sufficient accuracy to deter
mine the mott practicable route, and also to
indicate the cost and time that will be re
quired for the enterprise. Operations will
be begun simultaneously all along the line,
to far as grading and the laying of ties are
concerned. The laying of rails will, of
course, have to be carried forward entirely
from the western terminus.
General Annenkoff. the builder of the
v trans-Caspian road, reckons that tbe entire
line to Vladivostoek will cost less than
$200,000,000, and that through trains from
the Baltic to the Pacific can be run within
five years from the beginning of the job.
There are those, of course, who think this
estimate far too low. But there were also
many who jeered at General Annenkoffs
scheme, ten years ago, for a railroad to
Merv and Samarkand. His schemes have,
however, been justified by successful execu
tion, Jand the trans-Caspian railroad is
not only an accomplished fact, but
it is a highly profitable fact as well.
It has given such an impetus to
the agricultural rehabilitation of Central
Asia, and afforded in that direction such a
general field lor Kussian enterprise on Rus
sian territory, as to effect almost a commer
cial and industrial revolution. And al
though the line from liichailovsk to Kiiil
Arvat cost the Russia n treasury 523,000 a
mile and there are 150 miles of it it is
now seen to have been a most desirable in
vestment. It is very largely this fact of
General Annenkoffs great success in Cen
tral Asian railroad building that has de
termined the Czar to give him a free hand
in tbe stupendous Siberian enterprise.
GOLD AND GEMS.
Another highly important consideration
in this matter is the colonization of the
country along the Amoor river. Beside its
vast agricultural possibilities, this region
is exceedingly rich in precions minerals.
For many years it has been known to contain
some of the richest deposits of gold in the
world, and vast stores of gems have also
been taken from the mines. There are
creditable tales of ruby mines equal to those
of Burmab, and diamond mines that will
rival the Kimberly. All this region and its
products belong to the Kussian Crown. But
it borders on the northern part of China, and
the boundary line is ill-guarded. The
result is that the Chinese swarm across
by thousands, and are really se
curing the lion's share of the spoil. Be
tide the many Chinese colonists who make
their permanent homes on Bussian soil,
there are countless raiders, who come over
for a few weeks at a time, or for as long as
tbey can elnde the vigilance of the scat
tered Bussian police. They seem instinct
ively to know where the richest 'pay-
ravel" is to be found, and in a few days at
le placer mines will wash out a small for
tune in golden sand. For several years
there have been standing orders to the Bus
sian police to
SHOOT SUCH. ADVENTUEEBS
st sight, orders which have been carried ont
to the letter whenever opportunity afforded.
But such opportunities have been few, and
ibt Government has at last come to the con
clusion that the only way to keep the
Chinese ont is to put more Russians in. Ac
cordingly thousands of families of settlers
are being sent thither every yearat Imperial
expense. The journey, however, is a iong,
tedious and costly one, and it has become
evident that complete colonization of
those rich provinces is impossible without
better facilities for transportation.
Nor is the colonization of other parts of
Seberia to be overlooked. During all the
eight centuries that have elapsed since the
Cossacks repaid the Czar for driving them
from Europe by conquering for him the
Umpire of Northern Asia, Siberia has suf
fered from an undeserved bad name. It is
not a desert of snow and ice. It is not a
zast penal settlement. True, a considera
'We portion ofit is as desolate in itsJArctic in
Jiespitality as it could possibly be, and
inanv of the cnief settlements are occupied
chiefly by exiles and convicts; bnt there
Are also thousands of miles of fertile land,
with balmy climate and every natural gift
that makes a country desirable for habita
tion; and thousands of miles where the foot
of the convict has never trod.
MECCA OP THE rEASAXTS.
'Tomsk is the favorite colonizing country
of the Bussian peasant. Every year thou
sands of Bussian moujiks of their own free
will trudge from the populous Bussian
provinces to form new communities in Si
beria, and these think no more of trie tribu
lations of the exiles there than English im
migrants to Australia trouble themselves
with the history of Botany Bay. This
stream of immigration will.of course,greatIy
increase with better facilities for travel, the
opening of the railway to Orenburg, for in
stance, having been followed by a migra
tion thitber hy rail of 7,000 or 8,000 Bussian
peasants every year, on their way to the
cultivable districts of Southern Siberia and
the Kirghiz Steppes, Since tbe Busians
finished the railway from the Caspian to the
Oxus Bussian peasants have commenced
using that route to make their way to the
Settlements in Turkestan.
There is still another immense advantage
to be secured to Bussia by the construction
or this railroad, and that is, the trade of the
Pacific Ocean. At present this traffic
reaches Europe almost exclusively bv En
glish routes. The Northern Pacific "trade
is carried across America by the Canadian
and the United States Pacific railroads and
thence shipped to Europe by the Atlantic
lines. The trade of the central part of the
coast finds its "way to Europe by the English
routes through the Suez Canal. "With the
opening up of China and Japan to com
merce, this trade is
ESTQEMOWSLY INCREASING
in importance and it is to capture a portion
of it that Bussia now aims. The Pacific
terminus of the road will beat Vladivostoek.
There will presently be running an
other road from some point in
China to Vladivostoek, which -will
convey to the latter point the
traffic or China. Steamship lines will also
connect it with all important Chinese and
Japanese ports. Thence the transit across
the Bussian Empire to Europe will be much
easier, quicker and cheaper than by the
American route. In point of time it will
2mve the advantage by"at least a week. It
will also avoid tbe risks and unpleasantness
of the voyages across two oceans. And it
trill require far less handling and reehip
roent of goods. Whether or not it be true
that a sea voyage impairs tbe quality of tea,
ficte, st ny rate, will be the possibility of
conveying all the tea of Chins, to Europe
overland.
Although there are numerous steamboat
lines on the various Siberian rivers, it now
take about ten weeks to travel across the
continent, and costs one some $500. Start
ing from Europe one goes toNijni Novgorod
by railroad, and thence in summer by steam
er to Perm. There is a railroad from Perm
running across the Urals to Ekaterinberg
and thence to Tiumin. A Tiumin begins
the
BEAL SIBEBIA1T iOUKNEY,
by sledge in winter and largely by steam
boat in summer. Another line of approach
to Siberia from Europe is by the way of
Orenberg, all by rail. It, however, enters
Siberia at a sparsely settled point Between
these two is a third route, from Samara to
Ufa. Afailroad is now nearly finished on
this route, and it will doubtless be in future
the most important of the three, and it is at
Zlataoust, near Ufa, that the great road to
Vladivostok is to begin. Thence the route
will not come into close competition with
the great routes of rival travel, the Govern
ment having no wish to injure them. Nor
does the fact that it fails to tap many of the
chief towns of Siberia count against it.
For Siberia towns are small and not import
ant. Irkutsk, for instance, which is the
largest of them all, has onlr 35,000 inhabi
tants; Omsk, next on the list, 30,000;
Tomsk, 25.000; Tobolsk, Barnaul and
Krasknoyarsk, 15,000 apiece, and Tiumin,
13,000. There are four other towns of about
10,000 apiece, and the rest are mere villages.
The important object is to get an easy and
direct route across the continent from
Europe to the Pacific

TACKLING THEM AGAIN.
Several Cases Wblcfa Captain Wlafaart
Wants Another Grand Jury to Consider
nil Reasons for Asking; bach Action
Tbe Prrjaillce Again.! Rim.
The only court held yesterday was a short
session of tbe Criminal Court in the morn
ing, Judge Slagle presiding. Attorney
Yost presented several petitions on behalf of
Captain Wishart, in which he took excep
tions to findings of the grand jury. The
first was in the case of John A. Martin, the
bill against whom tor perjury had been ig
nored, and the costs placed upon the prose
cutor, Captain Wishart. Martin, it was
alleged, had sworn to having paid to Alder
man Schaffer a fine for selling on a certain
Sunday, in order to have the Court remit a
fine imposed by Alderman Carlisle for sell
ing on tbe same Sunday. It afterward de
veloped that Martin had not paid the fine
to Alderman Schaffer, and an information
was made against him lor perjnry.
Wishart alleges that the evidence was
sufficient to convict, but the bill was ignored '
because of the prejudice against the prose
cutor. He asked that the finding of the
grand jury as to the costs be set aside, and
that lie be allowed to present his witnesses
.in open court, for His Honor to determine
if he would send the case back to the grand
jury.
In the case of Kate Cordell, convicted
twice before Alderman Carlisle under the
act -f 1855, for selling liquor, upon the sec
ond conviction, the case was returned to
court. The grand jury ignored the bill, and
placed the costs on Captain Wishart. The
same disposition was made of the case of
Joseph Schneider, charged with selling
liquor without a license, and to minors,
though two adults and two minors testified
to having purchased liquor from him. In
these two cases he asked that the findings of
the grand jury as to the costi be set aside.
Judge Slagle allowed the petitions to be
filed, aud directed that tbe processes issued
for costs be stayed until further order of
court.

Breckinridge and
Governors and Congressmen represent
ing the original States, together with some
notables from other sections, met at Phila
delphia yesterday. The object is the erec
tion of a notable national memorial in that
city.
Philadelphia, February 22. The in
itial steps toward the erection of a memorial
to perpetuate the memory of the events
leading to the foundation of the United
States government were taken in this city
to-day in the presence and with the co
operation of a large and representative
gathering of Congressmen and State authori
ties. The members of Congress who par
ticipated in the preparatory movement to
day arrived in the city last evening and
this morning they assembled in parlor C of
the Continental Hotel. Tfie gathering was
a notable one, including nearly a full rep
resentation from tbe 13 original States and
scattering representatives from the others.
The visitors were taken charge of by an
executive committee of citizens, assisted by
an auxiliary committee of city councilmen.
Some time was jpent in social chatting and
shortly after 10 o'clock General H. H.
Bingham called for order and nominated
ex-Governor Green, of New, Jersey, as
chairman of the occasion. Governor Green
welcomed tbe visitors on behalf of the
executive committee of Governors ap
pointed by the 13 States.
CAUSE FOB CONGBATTJliiTION.
He briefly outlined the inauguration of
the movement to commemorate the estab
lishment of the Constitution. He said he
congratulated himself that so large a repre
sentation of the States had put in an ap
pearance. A committee of the Governors
and other representatives of tbe United
States was appointed to present a memorial
bill to Congress with the view of perpetu
ating in a fitting manner the closing events
of the last century and the early stages of
the nation's life.
He invited the members of Congress to
visit the scenes of these early events so
memorable in history. First, Carpenter's
Hall, where the first Continental Congress
sat, and where the early frame work of the
Constitution was adopted; next, Independ
ence Hall, the old cradle of liberty, and
next the site in Fairmount Park where it is
proposed to erect tbe memorial.
President Gales, of Select Council, in the
absence of Mayor Fitter, then formally wel
comed the visitors to the city. After these
ceremonies a column was formed by twos,
and the procession, headed by ex-Governor
Green, who was Governor of New Jersey at
the time of the Constitutional Centennial
celebration in 1887, and Governor Ladd, of
Rhode Island, marched from tbe hotel to
Carpenter's Hall, on Chestnut street, below
Fourth, a distance of a littleoverfive blocks.
A DISPLAY OF VENERATION.
As each member of the Congressional del
egation passed under the historic roof he re
moved his hat with a display of veneration.
The chairs in the old hall were not sufficient
to seat all who came, and after tbe Congress
men were seated a large portion of the as
semblage remained standing. Governor
Green presided.
Richard K. Betts, the venerable actuary
of the building, was introduced and made a
short speech of welcome. He said that 30
years ago it was bis duty to welcome on tbe
same spot a body called for the purpose of
erecting 4 monument to the signers
of the Declaration of Independence.
Rev. Charles Wadsworth, Jr., in
voked the divine blessing, after
which Hampton L. Carson delivered the
formal welcoming address. Mr. Carson, in
the course of his remarks, said: "In this
hall were started the greatest national
movements of this country. In this hall,
sanctified by the memories of 1774, were laid
the foundations of a government which in
its history of 100 years has no parallel.
Here upon this floor the immortal Wash
ington knelt in prayer. Here, within these
walls, John Adams, Peyton Randolph and
the other early patriots heard the wrongs of
the people and set about repairing them.
They have given us a government lor the
protection ot all men, irrespective of class
or creed. And so we have met to-day to
take the initial steps toward erecting a
monument to commemorate these natriots
and these great principles. The time is
fitting and the place is fitting."
THE PEEOEATION.
In closing Mr. Carson turned to the Hon.
C. B. Breckinridge, of Arkansas, the great
grandson of Dr. John Witherspoon, a New
Jersey signer of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, and said: "To you sir, worthy
descendant of an illustrious sire one of
those immortal few, w hose names can never
fade from the scroll of history, because at
tached to that great declaration which pro
claimed our national independence to you
and your fellow representative I bid you
in the name of our citizens welcome to this
historic hall. May your labors and deliber
ations be eminently successful."
Congressman Breckinridge made a fitting
reply. "We are heartily appreciative," he
said, "of tbe cordial .welcome which you
have extended to us and we are heartily in
sympathy with the people of this historic
city in the purposes they have in view in
connection with this gathering."
Continuing he spoke of the nations whoRe
bulwarks were founded upon force. "It was
not so with us," he added. "Our country,
our Government was founded on equality
and justice to all. These are the principles
which we should keep fresh in our minds
while we celebrate the achievements of our
patriots and sing their praises; let us not in
this movement overlook the importance of
the principles which inspired tbrm. Let us
elevate those principles for which we estab
lished our Government; let us make known
the objects and principles for which our
Government exists. Let them be around
your memorial hall or monument, so that
they may be kept plainly before the eyes of
the people. In this way'they will be instru
mental in shaping posterity and raising men

ON HISTORIC GEOTJND.
This ended the exercises at Carpenter's
Hall. The body filed ont of the old build
ing and proceeded to Independence Hall,
where some time was spent in viewing the
interesting relics on the floor. The visitors
then proceeded upstairs to Common Council
chamber, where ex-Governor Green called
for order, and after a brief address on the
movement for which those present had been
called to Philadelphia to-day, he proposed
the name of General Banks, of Massa
chusetts, for the presiding officer.
This was agreed to unanimously, and
General Banks took the chair. He made a
brief address, declaring that he believed it
was a solemn duty to place before the world
a memorial to the great events tbey were
celebrating something they would never
forget Addresses were also made by Gov
ernor Biggs, of Delaware; Colonel Peyton,
of this city; Congressman Carter, of Mon
tana, and Congressman Clunie, of Cali
fornia, in support of the projected memorial.
Upon conclusion of Mr. Clunie's address,
the meeting adjourned, and the visitors
returned to the hotel for luncheon.
At 2 o'clock carriages were taken at tbe
hotel, and the visitors were driven through
Fairmount Park to examine sites forthe
proposed memorial. A banquet was given
this evening.
DANGEE0US AND DEMORALIZING.
An Application for Low Rates Refused by

Walker, of the Inter-State Commerce Bail

decision refusing the application of the
Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha
line for the same rate of coarse grain be
tween Omaha and St Paul as that in force
betweed Omaha and St. Louis.
The decision dwells on the fact that such
a rate would be dangerous and demoraliz

THE PUBLIC
Will please remember that the physicians of
the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute have no
connection whatever with any other physicians
or specialists, and have but one office in this
city, which is permanently located at 323 Penn
avenue.
ELIZA SMITH
( "Hundreds of people in Pittsburg have told
how wonderfully they have been cured by tho
physicians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Insti
tute at 323 Penn ave., and I feel it my duty to
state my case. My catarrh, which bad troubled
me so long, had begun to affect my lungs, and
they pained me very much, especially when I
coughed or raised up the offensive discharge
which seemed to so fill np my windpipe and
bronchial tubes, that I found it often difficult
to breathe. I coughed more or less both day
and night It would often hurt me to breathe,
my breath became short and 1 felt a tight op
pressive feeline in my lungs. I often felt a
pain in my left side. Sly food would sour on
my stomach, civing me a ful. uncomfortable
feeling after eating, with belching of gas. My
bands and feet were cold and clammy. 1 could
not walk any distance, or up a bill without
getting out of breath. I had many other aches
and pains and also suffered from those diseases
peculiar to women. In fact, I crew weaker
and weaker until I felt as if I did not care
whether I lived or died, as I would be an In
valid the remainder of my life. I tried several
doctors, but I found no relief. Heading of so
many cures made by the physicians of the
Catarrh and Dvsnensia Institute, and which
seemed similar to mine. I took three months'
treatment from these specialists. Tbe result is
I now feel like a new woman. I have gained
25 pounds in flesh; my work does not seem a
burden to me as It used to, and I feel well and
strong. I shall be clad to tell anyone further
what these physicians have done for me. I lire

Owing to the jealousy and persecution of
local doctors, Qun Wa, the celebrated Chinese
physician, has decided to, leave Pittsburg. He
has taken up bis permanent residence at the
beautiful cltv of Indianapolis, Ind. During his
four months' residence here be made many
converts to the mild and gentle natural herbal
remedies of the Flowery Kingdom and effected
some marvelous cures. Thousands of people
who had lone doubted tbe wisdom of onr "reg
ulars, and their powerful mineral drugs and
poisons, believe that an outrage has been com
mitted on an inoffensive foreigner, whose sole
aim was to do good. The less bigoted medical
fraternity of Indiana have made Gun Wa wel
come among them. Gun Wa does not practice
medicine he has perfected himself and does
not need to "practice" but he has a line of
prepared herb remedies which positively cure
dyspepsia, rheumatism, neuralgia, female weak
nest, tumors, piles, consumption, eosuveness,
salt rheum, catarrh, scrofula, tapeworm, ma
laria, nervous dises.es, and all diseases of a
private nature. Young, old or middle-aged
men wto feel exhausted from overwork or
other causes, should consult Gun Wa. No
charge for advice, and tbe medicines are sold
for a small sum. Write to
Q-TTlSr -W.A.,
No. 25 West 'Washington Street,
INDIANAPOLIS, IND,
Note Qun Wa especially desires to hear
from all of his old patrons, and will cheerfully
complete any treatments mat were interrupted

GREAT SEMI-ANNUAL CLEARANCE SALE
Men's

Youths'
SHOES
This significant event, which is to commence to-morrow morning, will
fairly outdistance and overshadow all similar affairs of the past.
Since the recent extensive enlargement of our Shoe Department,
our trade has increased in proportion. This means more
odds and ends and broken uzes than ever, and you
know from past experiences for how little we sell
them. But don't let this lead you to believe
that this sale is merely one of broken
sizes and odds and ends. There are
hundreds of pairs which have be
come slightly soiled from be
t ing displayed in our show
windows. All these
WILL BE SOLD AT EQUALLY BEDIJCED PBICES,
Then there ale several thousand pairs of fine Dress Shoes, which the
manufacturers have consigned to us for immediate disposal. Lastly, we
have added many lots from our regular stock. Altogether, over $20,000
worth of footwear will be thrown into this sale, and, if 12,000 will
march in our cash drawers for it, we shall be well pleased. The follow
ing list, although comprising but a few of the many bargains, will give
you a fairly good idea of this sale:
