THE SIBERIAN RAILWAY.
Proposed Duplication.
St. Petersburg, July 18
The Council of Ministers has decided to ask the next Duma to sanction the duplication of the Siberian railway line. [Kor more Ilian two years the question of double-tracking the Siberian railway has been seriously considered by the Russian authorities, and a Bill to authorise this great- undertaking was prepared some time ago by Prince Khilkoff, the Czar’s director of ways and communications. The line bifurcates into two branches at Stretensk —one going south to Port Arthur and Pekin, the other east to Vladivostock. The distance by this line from St. Petersburg to Vladivostock is 6521 miles, and to Port Arthur 5193 miles.
