Rusia has made a momentous decision in Enally resolving to construct along the banks of the River Amor very great extension of her Siberian railway system. The Dams, after mach elaborate oratory, which suggests that its members have amply developed one characteristic of representative institutions, has this week passed the necessary Bill, The lino will branch off from the existing route at a point apparently west of China, and will follow the course of the until it unites with the Usui Railway at Khabarovek. It will thus link up a wide gap in the existing chain of communications, and will give assess by rail to Vladivostok through territory that has long beas in Russian posset. sion. The soheme is grandiose and in a sense courageous, but many sincerely patriotic Rustions are believed to regsed it with intenas, misgivings. They point to the prestrained condition of the national exchequer, and ask whether Russian flance is in a position to face na enormone Initial outlay, and hangy annual sbarges for maintenance, in connexion. with a line that is most unlikely to prove remunerative. They farter deprecate the proponi où the ground that it commits the Russisa Government to a continuance of that adventurous policy in the Far Eset which of fate years has caused sneh poignant tribulations. They are loth to son Rasds still torning her face, as Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria ones phrased it, towards the moralug light of the Fast

JAPAN'S ARMY

FERNCH OFFICER'S COMMENT,

Writing in the Gantois, General Chanoine thus speaks of the Japanese soldiers.

"These manovres were participated in by about fifty thousand mes, divided off into two armies who carried on their military operations in view of the Emperor. The impression of the foreign officers prosant was that the Japanese army had made vast progress sines the last war. In an order of the day posted by the Emperor at the close of the matcavres it was said: “In an era of increant advancement, it is not for the army tu stand still. Your constant sim should be to win new accesses and make pre- paration for new toata of your efloiency," It in certainly in the spirit of this proclamation that the Japanese army hen baan improving."

While theactillery weakness of England and of Frauca has bea recently attacked in the European press, notably by Lord Roberts and by the Frenca nowapaper correspondents during the war in Morocco, the Japanese, sooording to saeral Chancing beat the world in the effectiveness of this arm and he tells us:

Among the numerous improvements intro. droed into the Japaness Army sings the last war we have particularly to notice their powerful and splendid field artillory. Their new rapid fire guas, much superior to those employed a tus Basso-Japanese War, are effative at range of 4000 metres, a thiaz unknown in the battles of Msachuse artillerymen who serra pics, four to each gun, are completely protected by a shield of stool. This gnus are entirely manfactured ia Japsa and issued from the arsenal at Ojska,

How far the enterprise to which Rassis now stands emitted will assist in the further development of Eastern Siberia is still an open question. Its first object is to furdish the missing link in the chain of communications on Russian soil, but it cannot fail in the long ra to have important economic reunits also. These will doubtless become apparon in the maritims. provinoon rather than along the route to be traversed by the new line. The watershed of the Upper Amar is a region of dark foresta, hard! capable of supporting a large agricultural po- pulation. The settlements soarbered" sparsely along the northern bank of the river maintain a precarion sounezion with the world without, but the territory is never likely in altriot largo numbers of cultivators. Towns like Blagoicat. check may grow, begaose they are centres of the gold mining industry, to which the live is certain to give a great stimulus. It is towards the Ussuri districts, however, that M.
