One thousand navvies, all Russians, are in course of construction across the steppes : employed on the works, which progress on an average at the rate of a verst a day. This railway is destined to enable Russia to throw an army in a comparatively short time into the very heart of Turcomania. It has lately been represented not only as a military line, but as the head of the famous Trans-Asiatic Railway, which is to place Europe in direct communication with India. But that is, at least, not the chief aim which the Russian Government has in view. It may so happen that one day this railway will form a link in the long chain stretching from Europe to the Ganges; but what is now kept steadily in view is the establishment of rapid communication between St. Petersburg and Central Asia, in order to prevent the warlike tribes which inhabit this part of the world being a constant danger and annoyance to their neighbors.

Haven 59 If Russia bad been inspired with the ambition of reaching India across the Asiatic Continent she would not have chosen as the head of the line Michailowsky, which is a shallow little port into which no large vessel can penetrate, but would have selected Orenburg. Moreover, she would not have pressed on the works with such excessive speed. The line is, indeed, but a military one, which already renders great services to the expedition against the Tebkes. In the first instarce, it bad been decided that it should not extend beyond Mallo Kera, bot that a railway should start from that point and be carried as 6 months ending Jan. 1.8266,228,601 $280,770 515 far as Kazan Djick.
