Representative of tlie Russian Gov
ernment Are 3Totv Here ozx a
Tour of Inspection.
A. Badyansky and two other prominent
Russians arrived here yesterday and reg
istered at the Hotel Portland.
They represent the Russian government
in an official capacity, and come to the
Pacific coast on v. very important mission,
which Is to recommend a terminus for a
great Russian, steamship line.
It has been definitely determined that
Vladlvostock shall he the terminus of the
Siberian railway, and from that point
Russia Is desirous of getting Into close
touch with the United States. It "will do
so by establishing a line of mammoth
steamships to ply between Vladlvostock
and some port on the Pacific coast of
the United States.
Mr. Badyansky and his two compan
ions are commissioners to examine these
ports of the Pacific and report back to
their government on the advantages of
each. They examined Portland yesterday,
but as to their impressions they would
ot talk for publication, for the reason
that their language Is not comprehended
here. They speak no English, but their
Russian expressions of pleased surprise
at the balmlness of Oregon's winter cli
mate were easily understood by those
whose ears are entirelyunfamlllarwlth the
William H. Mills, general land agent of
the Southern Pacific Company, came up
yesterday to meet the Russian commission
ers, and they -will start this morning for
San Francisco as 2ils guests In his private
car. Accompanying Mr. Mills were W. F.
Perkins, of San Francisco, and Captain
P. A. Demens, of Ijos Angeles, who speaks
Russian fluently.
The tour of inspection now being mado
by these Russian commissioners has great
commercial significance to the Pacific
coast.
