AS TO THE ROUTE.
Details of the contest have not boen worked out as yet by the Matin, but it has been proposed that the fight be made from £1,500,000 £1,128,000 Peking to the most accessible part of the £682,500 Trans-Siberiau Railway, which then might £ 385,000 be followed to the German frontier. The first stage of the journey might be along the coast from Peking and thence inland to Harbin and across Manchuris; or more direct route, leading across the desert, might be chosen, in which case the caravan trails would be followed to the railway in Russia
