Actual Survey of a Lino From Alaska to SilKt-la Huh Hern Made In Alaska Predicted by Railroad Men That PusMMigerH Muy Travel From Pcii riU'ton to St. Petersburg by Rail In a Few Years.

Healcy, a civil engineer of Dawson City, to make a report upon the feas ibility of such a vast project. Recently a survey has actually been made on a portion of this line and a dispatch from Dawson says of the re turn of Captain Healy to that city, after a trip over the route In western Auaska: "Captain John J. Healy has Just re turned from a surveying trip across the border for the Trans-Alaska-Siberian railway line after one of the hardest trips he has ever experienced.

The sen atorial fight In Mississippi has com menced this week in. earnest and may be expected to continue at a lively clip till the primaries are held in August. The United States senators ate to he chosen by the legislature, which will assemble next January, but as Senator A. J. McLaurln, one of the Incumbents, will be returned without opposition, the contest will be for but one toga, that wbjch now adorns the snouiaers or senator n. D. Money, Senator Money could secure a re-elec tion without trouble. It Is believed, but his health has not been good of late and he has consequently decided to re tire. Since Senator Money made his de cision known things political In Mis sissippi have been shaping for one of the most exciting senatorial fights In the history of the Btate. The rival aspirants for the senate seat are Gov ernor Vardaman and Represeentattve John Sharp Williams, the minority leader In the house. It Is Impossible at this early stage of the contest to predict the winner with any degree of certainty. Mr. Williams has returned from Washington and from all appearances he Intends to make the fight of his life to succeed Money in the senate. It Is no secret that he stands higher with the better and more substantial element of the people of Mississippi than does Governor Vardaman. But the latter has a strong "pull" with the masses. Mr. Williams stands well with the people on the greater Issues of the day, but Governor Vardaman, on the other hand, has kept closer at home and has captured the popular fancy by his public declarations re agrding those questions In which the people of Mississippi are particularly Interested. Governor Vardaman, more over. Is a ready sneaker and may be counted upon to hold his own If he accedes to Mr. Williams' request for a Joint canvass. Whether the next sen ator bo Williams or Vardaman, It is already certain that the political pot will boll at a lively rate In Mississippi this summer. . . TATB OP OHIO,-) CITY OP TOLEDO )ss.
