THE SEA ROUTE TO SIBERIA: Captain Wiggin's sea route to Siberia has been anything but plain kailing this year, Good luck has attended the voyages to the Yenesei for some years past, but, according to advices just to band from Christiania, the Kara Sea has been so packed with ice this season that it was impossible to get through it, and the Watt-Popham trading expedition, which went from England in the summer, miscarri -ed completely. Of the five vessels form ing the venture, one (the Arthur, laden with tea) was totally lost in the pack-ice, but the crew were saved, and all the others, the report says, sustained more or less injury, with loss of anchors, cables, etc., and not one reached the mouth of the Yenesel. This will be very discouraging, for the British navigators who have, followed in Captain Wiggins's wake, and correspondingly encourag- ing for the promoters of the new route to Siberia described in Fairplay on the 11th May last. The first sleamer to find her way safely to the Yenesel was, it may be remembered, the Proven, a small craft under the command of Nordenskjold. This happened in, 1875, but her arrival there was looked upon merely as lucky accident, and very few indeed believed in the establishment of a trading connection the great Siberian between Europe and rivers Obi and Yenesei. The voyages after- wards made by Captain Wiggins, however, proved that the Kara Sea was not always filled with impenetrable masses of ice. Wiggins is said to have conceived the idea of making his Siberian voyage from Petermann's Mittheilun gen-in-which he read that a Russian by the name of Sineraff had offered a prize of £3,000 sterling for the first ship that should get into the Yenesei. He made his first voyage into the Arctic Sea in 1370, and reached the Yenesei in safety: Voyage after voyage followed after this, so that, up to the present, twenty-eight expeditions have been carried out and fifty-seven vessels have been employed in the ventures. But the British expeditions have not been the only ones. In 1891, for instance, the German ship Dalwan sailed for the Yenesei from a Corman port with a cargo of merchandise. She arrived there in due time, and was purchured by a Russian merchant, who has employed her since in the passenger traffic on the Yeresei But which- ever route may eventually prove the most ad vantageous-by the ocean to and from the mouths of the great rivers direct, or partly Overland and partly by sea-it is certain that a regular and brisk trade will soon be developed between Siberia and Europe, the rich products. of the one being exchanged for the commodities and manufactures of the other, It is olcar the Russian Government does not despair of the through sea route, otherwise it would not have incurred the great expense of providing the colossal ice-breaker Jermab for keeping the Kara Sea open in the summer, the exploits of which vessel carly this season have already been commented on-Fairplay,

If the Government is guided by Sir A. Milner the settlement, however it is brought about, will undoubtedly be complete and satisfactory. He has shown all through the crisis so much statesmanship and such thorough knowledge of the situation that we may be perfectly corinin he will advise Her Majesty's Government aright. And they have followed his counsels up to the present so well that we may trust they It his will continue to do so in the future. hardly necessary, therefore, to enumerate the main points that have to be aimed at. Of course, if war breaks out, the settlement can be only of one kind. Lord Salisbury, in the last discussion on the question in the House of Lords during the past session, made it perfectly clear that if this country was forced into war, it would not end the struggle until such Govem- ment was established at Pretoria as would make it certain that a renewal of the discussion would not occur. But if the Boers yield with out fighting it is essential, firally, that there should be a clear, precise, and definite stipula. tion that British subjects in the Transvaal shall be entled to the most favoured nation treat-Marti, A.
