AN EXPECTED TRIUMPH, FOR THE KILT,
RUSSIA'S BIG RAILWAY
-SOME FIGURES ABOUT THE WORLD'S
GREATEST LINE.
The Russian papers, says the London Morning Leader, åre full of cominents on the immense importance the Siberian railway will be to the Empire.
According to the original project the line would have a length of 4.728 miles, but as arrangements have now been made by which it will traverse Chinese territory, the total length has been reduced to 4.387 miles.
Last year the Merayshire battalion of the Highland (Volunteer) Brigade resolved un- While Mr. Michael Davitt, accompanied by animourly to abandon the traws and adopt the n fife-and-druni band, was prosecuting his antiskilt; and the Banffshire battalion is now the Jandlord mission in Charlevlile, country Cork, only one in the brigade which does not went on Saturday, he was greeted with a volley of the philabeg.

THE RAILWAY TO KHARTOUM, The way to Khartoum is advancing rapidly, says the Cairo correspondent of the Times. It has now been carried fifty miles. south of the Athara river, and is progressing at the ante of 200 yards daily. It is expected that the line will be completed to Khartoum by November.
A BUGH CURQUEST Messrs. W. D. and H. O. Wills, the tobacco manufacturers, have just drawn a cheque at Bristol for £160,000 in payment of duty on tobacco withdrawn from bond. This, with previous payments made during March, makes a total of over £324060 for dusy paid during the present month by this firm alone.
THE ADMIRALTY AND THE CUNARD COM-
PANY.
A LITTLE TOO PREVIOUS.
It is hoped that by next year there will be direct communication between the Russian Baltic ports and the Pacific by rail and steamer, and that in five years' time at the utmost the milway will be completed throughout the whole distance..
LAND OF IMMENSE DIFFICULTIES.
The difficulties to be encountered are, of course, immense. Siberia is one of the best watered tracts of the whole world, and not only have immense bridges to be built over the main streams, but all the ingenuity of the engi neets has been called into play to overcome the danger unvasioned by the periodical rise of the very numerous sider streams which results

NEW OPERAS.
Of Mascagni there is news of deep interest for the musical world. Although Iris," his latest opern, has not yet made its debut outside aly, he has three other works in land. One is entitled "The Masks"; another, "Vestilia," is based upon a stirring romance by the Italian writer De Zerbi. The third. Gandolin," though shon, is said to be of thrilling draniatic interest. In this last-named the composer has set himself to interpret in music the agonies of a"Hero" who succumbs to terror at the im minent prospect of death. "Vestilia" is to be a three-act opera.
