LARDSOFTHEFRIARS
Instructions to Taft in Deal
ing With the Vatican
SERVED AS HIS CREDENTIALS
Basis Upon Which Church Properly
in the'PhllippInes Will Be Pur
chasedRentals to Be Paid
for Convents.
WASHINGTON. June 6. Secretary Root
today ,eent to the Philippines committees
of the Senate and House textual copies
or the instructions given by him to Gov
ernor Tift for his guidance in dealing
with the Vatican respecting the acquisi
tion by the United States of the friars'
lands In the Philippines. These instruc
tions were exhibited yesterday by Gov
ernor Taft to the Vatican officials, and,
as will be perceived from their context,
served the purpose of credentials. The
text follows.
"May 9, 1902. Sir: It is now apparent
that Congress will not have acted upon
the Philippine Commission's recommenda
tions regarding the purchase of friar
lands before the time for your departure
for Manlls, which cannot be longer de
layed. You cannot, therefore, as we had
hoped, receive definite instructions and
proceed to take such steps, in the execu
tion of specltlc authority from Congress,
as should properly be tiken before you
return to Manila. The committees of both
houses have, however, reported favor
ably upon the committee's recommenda
tions and It appears probable that Con
gress will confirm their action. In view,
therefore, of the critical situation of this
subject In the Philippines, md of the
apparent impossibility of disposing of the
matter there by negotiation with the fri
ars themselves, the President does not
feel at liberty to lose the opportunity for
effective action afforded by your presence
in the West. He wishes you to take the
subject up tentatively with the eccle
siastical superiors who must ultimately
determine the friars' course of conduct,
and endeavor to reach at least a basis of
negotiation along lines which will be sat
isfactory to them and to the Philippine
Government, accompanied by a full un
derstanding on both sides of the case and
the views and purposes of the parties to
the negotiations, so that when Congress
shall have acted, the business may pro
ceed to a conclusion without delay.
"You are accordingly authorized, in the
course of your return Journey to Ma
nila, to visit Rome and there ascertain
what the church authorities have the
power to negotiate for, and determine
upon a sale of the lnds of the Teligious
orders in the Philippine Islands, and if
you find, as we are informed, that the
officers of the church at Rome have such
power and authority, you will endeavor
to obtain the results above Indicated. Any
negotiations which you may enter upon
are always subject to the granting of
power by Congress to follow the negotia
tions by binding action. In any confer
ences and negotiations you will bear in
mind the following points, which are
deemed to be fundamental, and which
Should be fully and frankly stated to the
other side in the negotiations:
Fundamental Points.
"First One of the controlling princi
ples of our Government Is the complete
separation of church and state, -with the
entire freedom of either from any con
trol or interference by the'other. This is
imperative, wherever American jurisdic
tion extends, and no modification or shad
ing thereof can be a subject of discus
sion. ' ,
"Second It is necessary to deal now
with the results of establishing a govern
ment controlled by this principle in the
Philippine Islands, which have for cen
turies been governed under an entirely
different system, with church and state
closely united and having functions of the
one exercised by agents of the other:
where the church has long controlled and
acted virtually as the agent of the state
in the field of public Instruction and pub
lic charities, and has from time to time
acquired large properties held by it or by
its subordinate corporations or officers
for these public uses. A novel situation
has been created, under which the ad
justment of means to ends appropriate
to the former system entirely fails to
produce the Intended result under the
new system, and the separation of church
and state requires to, be followed by a
readjustment and rearrangement In the
Interests both of church and of state, and
for the attainment of the great ends of
civil government, of education, of charity
and of religion.
"Third By reason of the separation, the
religions orders can no longer perform in
behalf of the state the duties in relation
to public instruction and public charities
formerly resting upon them, and the pow
er which they formerly exercised through
their relations to the civil Government
being now -withdrawn, they find them
selves the objects of such hostility on
the part of their tenantry against them
as landlords, and on the part of the peo
ple of the parishes against them as rep
resentatives of the former government
that they are no longer capable of serv
ing any useful purpose for the church. No
rents can be collected from the populous
communities occupying their lands un
less it be by the intervention of the civil
Government with armed force. Speaking
generally, for several years past the fri
ars, formerly installed over the parishes,
haye been unable to remain at their posts
and are collected in Manila with the
vain, hope of returning. They will not be
voluntarily accepted again by the people
and cannot be restored to their posses
sions except by forcible intervention on
the part of the civil government, which
the principles of our Government forbid.
It is manifest that under these conditions
it is for the interest of the church, as
well as of the state, that the landed pro
prieorshlp of the religious orders in the
Philippine Islands should cease, and that If
the church wishes, as of course it does, to
continue Its ministration among the peo
ple of the islands and conduct In its own
behalf a system of Instruction, with which
we have no desire to interfere. It should
seek other agents therefor.
Titles to Be Extinguished.
"Fourth It isthe wish of our Govern
ment, in case Congress shall give the
necessary authority, that the titles of
the religious authorities to the large
tracts of lands which they now hold shall
be extinguished, but that full and fair
compensation shall be made therefor.
"Fifth It is not, however, deemed to be
for the interests of the people of the
Philippine Islands that In thus trans
forming wholly unproductive tracts of
land into money capable of productice in
vestment, a fund should thereby be cre
ated to be used for the attempted restora
tion of the friars to the parishes from
which they are now separated, with the
consequent disturbance of law and or
der. "Sixth The titles to the great amount
of church lands and buildings In the
islands, other than those of the religious
orders and now apparently owned by the
state, should be settled fairly.
"Seventh Provision should be made for
ascertaining what rentals if any, ought
to be paid for convents . and other
church buildings which have been occu
pied by United States troops during the
Insurrection, this being, of course, subject
to further ppeclfic action by Congress.
"Eighth The rights and obligations re
maining under the various specific trusts
for education and charity, which are now
in doubt and controversy, ougnt to be
settled Iy agreement if possible, rather.
than by the slow and frequently disas
trous processes of litigation, so that the
beneficent purposes of these foundations
may not fall.
"Ninth Your errand will not be in any
sense or degree diplomatic in Its nature,
but will be purely a business matter of
negotiation by you as Governor of the
Philippines for the purchase of property
from the owners thereof and the settle
ment of lands in such a manner as to
contribute to the best interests of the
people of the Islands.
"Any assistance which you may desire
whatever on the part of the officers of the
civil government or of military officers,
to enable you to perform the duties above
described In a manner satisfactory "to
yourself, will be afforded: but cne busi
ness is left entirely in your hands, sub
ject to such action as may be taken pur
suant to law upon your recommendation.
Very respectfully,
"ELIHU ROOT, Secretary of War.
"William H. Taft, Civil Governor of the
Philippines, Washington, D. C."
WHAT THE FILIPINOS WANT.
Bucncamlno Writes of the Needs of
the Natives.
WASHINGTON, June 6. Secretary Root
has received a unique and Interesting let
ter from Felipe Buenca.mlno, the Filipino,
who has Just completed his testimony be
fore the House committee on insular af
fairs. The Filipino statesman summarizes
the most urgent needs of the Filipinos and
outlines his personal opinions of the fu
ture. These Include an appropriation tQ
send Philippine students to the United
States for the purpose of special studies,
which he belle'cs will be of value to his
people, and Individual propaganda to cor
rect American misconceptions of the Phil
ippine situation. Incidentally the writer
recounts some small matters of com
plaint, principally as to house rentals,
which he desires corrected.
The letter of Senor Buencamlno is In
part as follows:
"I have concluded my statements before
the committee on Insular affairs of the
House of Representatives, and I have
tried to show the honorable members
thereof that the following are most ur
gent requirements of the Philippines:
"A civil government with full powers
for the reconstruction of the ruined gov
ernmental organizations of the Philip
pine people.
"A Legislature composed of high and
low chamber, with provisions embodied In
the bill reported by the committee of the
House.
"An appropriation of 5CO.000 per annum
from the Philippine revenues for the pun
pose of sending Philippine students to
the United States, giving preference to
those who wish to study Industry, com
merce and agriculture.
"Full amnesty after a declaration of
peace.
"Increase of the number of teachers to
C000, with an increase of their salaries to
double what they are now receiving.
"In answering the objections of the
Democratic members, I Incidentally
brought to the attention of the commit
tee the humane conduct of the Army and
the enormous and excellent work per
formed by the Philippine Civil Commis
sion in organizing a provisional govern
ment under the wise Instructions received
from you and the Intelligent direction of
Governor Taft.
"The government now established In
the islands, which is to the Filipinos of
the middle and lower classes highly sat
isfactory, will be reinforced by the pro
visional measure pending before the
House to the satisfaction of the higher
and Intelligent classes."
Senor Buencamlno then offers his serv
ices to prepare a statement of Filipino
wants. If Secretary Root desires It, and
says if his services are not needed, ho
wishes to visit Canton, New York,
Charleston, Boston, St. Louis, Philadel
phia, Chicago and Detroit, and the widow
of General Lawton. He then wishes to
visit his son at San Francisco, saying that
he expects San Francisco to be in the fu
ture the base of the Philippine trade. He
concludes:
"I tv lsh to prepare a small exposition In
Manila In honor of Dr. Rlzal, similar to
that held In Charleston, with an appro
priation of 1100,000. The receipts will
probably be the same amount. I will em
ploy in the direction and management of
this exposition, Malvar, Trias, Mascardo,
Alexandrlno and other prominent ex-Insurgents,
under American control. They
would be very useful and active, on ac
count of the numerous data which they
have with regard to pur secret wealth,
and thej would furthermore be distracted
from the ordinary local political Ideas
they entertain and can practically know
all the benefits of American civilization.
Such is the resume of my private inten
tions upon this long trip, with the pur
pose of creating better relations of a
commercial character between the Phil
ippines and America. If these purposes
have your approval, I would thank you
to furnish me such facilities as you can
to carry them out.
"I conclude with the statement that
there is a real complaint In the Philip
pines from the owners of houses and
other buildings occupied by the American
forces, because in. somo cases these own
nrs receive no pay, and In other cases an
unduly low rental Is paid. There was a
military tribunal of claims, but the de
cisions of the same were very arbitrary.
In the opinion of the public."
READY TO ORGANIZE.
Civil Government for Severnl Phil
ippine Districts.
WASHINGTON June 6. Secretary Root
today made public the following cable
gram from Acting Governor Wright, of
the Philippines:
"Manila, May 31, 1901 Secretary of War
Root, Washington With reference to your
cablegram of the 15th, outside of tho
Moro country, the only portions of archi
pelago not organized under civil govern
ment are Lepanto, Botoc, Batangas,
Laguna, Principe, Infanta, Mlndoro, Sa
mar and the Paragua and other small
groups. No armed insurrection in any
of them. No reason, so far as relates to
peaceful conditions, why civil government
In all may not be established.
"Special government for Bontoc and
Lepanto, Inhabited exclusively by peaceful
Igorrotes, will be organized in a few days.
Will organize civil government In Laguna
immediately. Whilst Principe and In
fanta could be organized at once, difficult
to look after them until we receive ves
sels now building, say by September 1;
few Inhabitants and unimportant. Mln
doro and Paragua group large islands
sparsely populated and difficult of access
without vessels. For these reasons think
best to leave military temporarily in
charge of them, because they have the
transportation facilities. Under Spanish
regime, Bontoc, Lepanto, Principe, In
fanta and the Paragua group did not
have provincial government, being com
manded by military officers, and Mlndoro
Is attached to Marlnduque.

HAD SOBERING EFFECT
FIRST OUTBREAK AT WILKES
BARRB FOLLOWED BY aUIET.
Demonstration Too Much for Coal
and Iron Police, Who Threw Up
Their Jobs and Left.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 6. Last
night's shooting had a sobering effect upon
the idle men and boys in this valley and,
as a result, the Wyoming region was a
place of almost absolute peace today.
There were no parades, marches or any
considerable gathering of persons, and the
police authorities of the county had little
more to do than to keep watch.
The Stantlon Colliery, where the shoot
ing occurred, was visited today by bands
of persons who expected to see more
trouble, but no more crowds were allowed
to congregate in that neighborhood. The
colliery Is closed down as tight as a drUm
as a result of the disturbance there. Even
the coal and iron police, with the excep
tion of four or five, gave up their Jobs
and left town as quickly as they- Could
get out. There were about 20 In the par
ty. Including several colored cobles. Ldst
night's demonstration was too much for
them and they decided to leave. The
fact in some manner became known to
the strikers, and the latter promised to
protect them to the railroad station if
they would leave the city. Accordingly,
under a strong guard of mlneworkers, the
ex-policemen left the colliery and marched
to the offices of the Lehigh & Wltkesbarrtt
Coal Co., where they received their pay
and transportation. Later, the men left
for New York and Philadelphia.
The preliminary hearing of the four
coal and Iron policemen, who are charged
with the shooting of the boy. was not
held today, but they probably will b6
arraigned tomorrow. The condition of the
boy Is still serious, but it is believed he
will recover.
There were a number of dsertlons
among the fire bosses tmployed at-several
mines In this vicinity, which caused the
companies much inconvenience. President
Mitchell said today that the strike of
the engineers, firemen and pumpmen Is
practically complete. The mine superin
tendents say that as far as they are con
cerned, there has been no change In the
situation in the past 21 hours. Water is
still accumulating In the lower levels of
some of the mines, but the coal company
officials seem to be indifferent regarding
the flooding of the workings.
Another boy. John Short, aged 13, was
seriously wounded here today, but his
injuries were not received as a result of
the strike. Ho was crossing a farm at
Sugar Notch, near here, owned by the
Lehigh & Wilkesbarre Coal Co. Robert
Hayden, the tenant, had been bothered by
Idle men and boys crossing his place, so
he decided to put a stop to It. The lad.
who works In a coal breaker, was shot
In the back and his wound Is considered
serious. Hayden was arrested.
Sheriff Jacobs, of this county, had a
particularly busy time last night, being
called upon by several companies to pro
tect their property. Men were sent to
some localities where trouble was looked
for, prepared to read the riot act, but
this was not done. Hundreds of yards of
fencing surrounding collieries have been
burned by boys and young men. The
coal companies' officials hold the mine
workers responsible for all the disturb
ances. They argue that if the strikers
wish to keep the peace they should pre
vent their sons from starting trquble.
All the local unions, at the request of
President Mitchell, today appointed
"guard" committees, whose duty It will
be during the period of strike to pre
vent persons from destroying property,
and more especially to keep children
away from the collieries.
Mr. Mitchell said: "It Is unsafe ior
children or any one else to walk along
the streets or roads bordering collieries.
The irresponsible men who have been
employed by the companies to do police
duty are not to be trusted.'
The strike of the soft coal miners in
West Virginia, for higher wages, which
is to be begun tomorrow, will be directed
by President Mitchell from Wilkesbarre.
He said today that there are 29.000 men
in that field, that 18,000 will stop work to
morrow, and that he expects the others
will all be out in the course of a few
days.
Mr. Mitchell today positively and un
equivocally denied knowledge of any nego
tiations for peace.
Closing Dovrn Waaheriea.
SCRANTON, June 6. Shutting down
of the small screen and washerfes erect
ed at some of the refuse piles or long
abandoned drifts and tunnels Is now en
gaging attention from coal strikers of the
Lackawanna Valley. There are perhaps a
score of these working from bIx to ten
men each, and their trade is chiefly to
farmers and some small Industries. In
every section where these exist, the sev
eral local unions thereabouts have begun
their closing. Those at Carbondale, Ger
malne, Proctorvllle and Taylor were all
reported today as being closed. The Lu
zerne, a small screen In North Scranton,
was closed yesterday, but Its owners put
on a new force of workmen today equipped
with guns, and told them to work the
place at all hazards. It screens about 100
tons dally, most of which goes to the
Scranton Railway Company.
District President Nichols said reports
continue to come of the desertion of many
imported men and the situation continues
most encouraging to the strikers.
Imported Men Leave.
HAZLETON, Pa., June 6. Some of the
imported men who left the service of the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company at ' York
town last night were reported by the
strikers today to have disposed of their
revolvers for very trivial sums, lri order
to raise money to get back to Philadelphia.
The Yorktown local has requested the
women and children of that place not to
congregate at the barracks, where the im
ported men and deputies are stationed.
One of the Delaware, Schuylkill &. Sus
quehanna Railroad crews, which has been
hauling special officers from one town to
another, refused today to do this work.
Nearly 100 strikers stationed on the pub
lic road leading to the drift on the cll
Hery of Coxe Bros. & Co stopped the
non-union firemen and pumpmen employed
at that mine from going to work today.
There was no violence on the part of the
strikers.
Strike In West Virginia.
ELKHORN, W. Va., June 6. The great
coal strike In West Virginia is now on In
the Flat Top, Elkhorn, Tug River and
Dlngcsa fields. This evening probably 10.
000 miners, all members of the United
Mlneworkers of America, came from the
mines with .picks on shoulders and de
clared their intention to remain out until
the operators make .the concessions. -demanded
at the Huntington meeting a few
weeks ago.
Situation Is Serlons.
HARRISBURG. Pa.. June 6. The sit
uation In the Lykens Valley region 'is
becoming serious. Sheriff Relff 'has de
cided to Increase his force of deputies.
Additional deputies will go to "Lykens
and Wyconlsco and remain on duty until
the trouble Is over.
President Will Not Interfere.
WASHINGTON, June 6. After a con
ference with the members of his Cabinet
today. President Roosevelt decided that
there is no legal ground for Interference
by him In the settlement of the dispute
between the coal operators and the strik
ing miners, as the law of 1S92. which con
ferred authority upon the President to. ap
point such an office, has been repealed.
Blnst Furnace Strike Settled.
YOUNGSTOWN, O., June 6. The strike
LIKE A MIRACLE
Blind and Helpless Prem Paraly
sis, This Man Now Sees,
Walks and Works.
John Hunter, of Orient street, Chlco,
Butte County, Cat., "was a blind and
helpless paralytic, who had lost even
the power of speech. In the Spring of
last year he was pronounced Incurable,
but now he can see, talk, walk and
work. To the San Francisco Exam
iner representative he said:
""About four years ago I was sud
denly stricken with paralysis. I lost all
sense of feeling and all power of move
ment in my right side, from head to
foot. I also partly lost the power of
speech. I soon became totally blind,
and was bo perfectly helpless that for
three years I was confined to my bed.
"Doctors diagnosed my case as loco
motor ataxia, and my family physician
gave me every care and attention possi
ble, but all his prescriptions during two
years were powerless to alleviate my
sufferings or In 'any way afford the
slightest relief.
"After being virtually given up as a
dead my by friends and physlclano, and
resigning myself to .my apparent fate,
I determined lo try Dr. Wlllfams Pink
Pills for Pale People. I mentioned It
to my doctor, and he not only gave his
conKnt to my trying Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, but strongly advised my doing so.
"From a blind, helpless paralytic, un
able, to move and so broken down and
hopeless that life was a burden. I can
now, walk, do any odd Jobs about the
blade, go down town, and most won
derful of all can see. And I owe It all
to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
"Improvement began while I was tak
ing the second box. I continued taking
the. pills, and from that time on It was
gradual but sure. My awful stomach
troubles have disappeared, ray eyesight
has been restored, my brain Is clear
and active, and if ever a man should
be grateful and anxious that others
should know the wonderful properties
of Dr. Williams' Plhk Plus, that man
Is myself."
The fact of Mr. Hunter's cure Is wide
ly known, and Is vouched for by all
who know him. Including Mayor O. L.

A. H. Crew and Postmaster "W. W. Wli

Western Miners "will Jiot Join the
American Federation.
DENVER, June ?. The Western Feder
ation of Miners' convention today adopted
the report of the committee on the good
and welfare of the order. Instructing the
secretary td notify the American Federa
tion of Labor ef this, that in view of the
faot that the Western Federation of Min
ers received no benefit from Its previous
affiliation with the American Federation,
and because of the action of the Western
Federation with reference to socialism, the
latter organization cannot comply with
the request to Join hands with the Ameri
can Federation. The Western Federation
of Miners broke away from the American
Federation of Labor in 1SS6.
A resolution was adopted that Xor the
remainder of the session all political dis
cussions will be eschewed and the con
vention confine itself to the business on
the secretary's desk.
Action that it is thought will bring the
Western Federation of Miners in closer
touch with the United Mlneworkers of
America was taken today when the con
vention voted for Interchanageable cards
between the two organizations.
At a Joint meeting held with the Amer
ican Labor Union, it was decided to
hold the next convention In Denver In
June, 1303. The vote on location was
as follows: Denver. 132; Butte, 130; San
Francisco, 31; Los Angeles, 2. The fed
eration pledged Us support to the United
Mlneworkers In the anthracite strike.
The American Labor Union convention
today received tho report of the ritual
committee which was adopted. A reso
lution favoring Government irrigation of
arid lands was discussed briefly.
Daniel McDonald was re-elected Presi
dent for his third term, receiving 4S
votes out of 71 cast. The others were
divided between J. 8. Co'mpton and W. H.
Leonard.
PACKERS WILIi tJSE RAILROADS.
Only One-Fourth, as Many Teamsters
Will Be Required.
CHICAGO, June 6. In reference to re
ports of a threatened strike at the stock
yards over the discharge of men, A. G.
Leonard, general manager of the Union
Stockyards & Transit Company, said to
day: "During the past month we have dis
charged 60 men, not because of unionism,
but because their services were not need
ed. The report that I wis to confer with
representatives of the union is unfounded.
There is no dissatisfaction among tho men
that T know of."
The packing-houses of Chicago are pre
paring to Introduce more modern methods
into their system of .meat delivery for city
trade. They will uee the railway lines.
During the -recent strike of the teamsters,
the scheme. It Is said, was given a thor
ough and successful test. Once In effect
the packers will require but one-fourth of
the present force of drivers. So anti
quated is the use of teams and drivers,
the packers say, that they placed each of
their distributing depots in the city near
a railroad switch on some line connected
with the Belt system. But until forced
by the strikers to use the railroads the
packers had not attempted seriously to
earn out their plan.
Another Stockyards Strike.
CHICAGO, June A. Unless the Union
Stockyards Company shall agree to rein
state the 17 cattle-drivers who, it Is said,
were discharged last Tuesday because
they were union men, the 5000 butchers
and meatcutters at the packing-houses
and 700 stockyards employes will not go
to work Monday morning. Tho Issue was
squarely made at a ' conference tonight
between Michael Donnelly, president of
the Butchers' and Meatcutters' Union of
North America, and A. G. Leonard, gener
al manager of the stockyards. The ques
tion "whether the Issue will be solved with
out resorting to extreme measures will
be decided tomorrow when Mr. Donnelly
Is to meet the officers of the stockyards
company and present, proof that the 17
members of the -stockyards employes
union were discharged because they en
tered the union. Affidavits have been pre
pared at the request Of the stockyards
officers,, who professed to discredit the
statement that the men lost their posi
tions for any such cause.
Arbitration Falls In Denver.
DENVER. June 5. Efforts of the State
Board of Arbitration to intercede in the

by the refusals of the mlllowners and con
tractors to submit their case. The con
tractors adhere to their determination not
to recognize the vBulldlng Trades Council
and ate confident the union men will

LONG TRIP IN AN AUTO.
Two Germans Start on a Xovel Jour
ney Around the "World.
Chicago Tribune.
Two adventurous Germans, Max Cudell
and Dr. Lehwess, started from London In
a specially constructed automobile on
April 23 on a trip around the world, which
has a double purpose.
The two travelers have undertaken the
Journey not only for the purpose of grati
fying their ambition as sportsmen, but
also with a view of collecting valuable
material regarding the agricultural and
commercial conditions and possibilities of
the countries iwhlch they shall traverse
during their ride.
The automobile In which they are trav
eling and which bears the proud name of
"Passepartout," is a gigantic vehicle built
In Paris after designs furnished by Mr.
Cudell. It has a box-shaped front part,
containing a 25 horse-power benzine mo
tor. The motor has four cylinders of the
Daimler pattern, which are arranged to
act alternately. The reservoirs, large
enough to hold 120 gallons of benzine, are
stowed away on both sides of the vehicle,
underneath the seats. Mr. Cudell expects
that the amount of fuel will be sufficient
to enable them to travel 620 miles without
refilling the reservoirs. The large wheels
are supplied with pneumatic tires, and
every detail of the running gear Is of the
best material and made with special care,
so as to insure the safety and comfort of
the travelers.
The coupe or cabin of the automobile,
which contains the living and sleeping
room of the travelers. Is arranged with re
markable lngenunlty. The comfortably
upholstered seats, running lengthways
along the sides of the coupe, are so con
structed that they can easily be trans
formed Into sleeping berths at night.
The route which the travelers have
chosen leads them, from London to Havre,
and from there via Paris, Berlin, "Warsaw,
Moscow, Kasan, DJcIJoblnsk, Omsk,
Tomsk, Krasnojarsk. Irkutsk, Klachta,
Urga and Pekln to Tien Tsin. There they
will embark and continue their trip on
board of ship, via Kuechow, Shanghai and
Hong Kong to Yokohama, Hawaii and San
Francisco. The route-through the Ameri
can continent has not yet been definitely
settled.
Particularly the Journey through Asia,
which leads through the heart of Siberia,
1 considered by the travelers of great In
dustrial and commercial importance. The
completion of the eastern China branch of
the great Trans-Siberian Railroad a short
time ago has attracted the attention of
the entire civilized world to the enormous
extent and wonderful resources of Sibe
ria. Considering the fact that Siberia
covers nearly one-ninth of the entire dry
surfacc of the earth. Its Importance as an
economic factor cannot be overrated. Not
withstanding its enormous extent. Its
wonderful fertility and Its wealth of min
eral and vegetable resources. Siberia has
a population of only 8,000,000. It is true
the Immigration to Siberia Is Increasing
every year, and has aggregated 2,000,000
during the last 10 years, causing a won
derful boom of the cities along the route
of the Trans-Siberian Railroad, but tho
country is still undeveloped and offers a
valuable market for the products of
"Western Industry and commerce.
