The Scheme of Mr. Gilpin to Bridg. Behring' Straits. Joxeau, Alaska, November 10. TIk project of ex-Gorernor Gilpin, of Colora do, to build a line of railway through the wilds of Alaska to Cape Pnn.ce of Wales to connect with the Russian railway sys tem through Siberia, thus linking the old and the new worlds with a railroad, is a feasible one, and the future will see it ac complished. But there is a giant obsta cle in the way ofone unbroken line con necting the two hemispheres, and that is Behring straits. Mr. Gilpin's proposi tion is to bridge these straits, which is all well enough iu theory, but quite a differ ent thing in practice. At considerable expense the straits can undoubtedlv be i bridged, as an island lies about midway between the American and Asiatic shores The distauce is not great and the water i. shal'tow, the government charts showing the greatest depth to be only thirty-two fathoms. But could a bridge be built high enough to allow huge icebergs to pass under it, and with strength to with taud the great ice floes that are yearly swept down through the straits from the Arctic ocean The current is sweeping through the narrow straits from one great ea to another very swift auci strong, and great icebergs vA)uld be borne agaiusi the bridge, its piers and abutments with a force that neither steel nor mason work would stand against. Captain Emery, of the United Stat. hip Thetis, stated that the only practi cable means of crossing these straits at all seasons of the year is by tuuneling un der them. RAILROAD "MOVEMENTS.

Fp to the piecnt time it is a certainty -that (on ress will contain thirty-eight straight )ut Aliiance meu, and there are twelve or !ifcenmore who an-pledget I to us. "These men are from the South and Northwest the two section in which most of our work was done. The Alliance in Nebraska Minnesota and Iowa is not our organiza tion, and has not amalgamated with u, but it made the'same fight and wijl join u t bis w inter. Our Alliance co-operated u it li them ; we will co-operate with any farmers' association, and in a little while have a grip on the situation in almost every corner of the land. "Vc are here to stay. ThiV great reform movement will not cease until, it has im pressed itself indelibly in the nation's his tory. Financ ial reform is the necessity of 'the hour, and it must c ome. The press and the voice of the sturnp sjwaker were our oiilysns-istants. The Alliance had no cam paign fund, no boodle. If avc had liad money we would not have used it. The virtue and patriotism of the jH-ople tire the things togpM-aI to. Our method? were lair and so ware, and the whole world could see what w e were doing. The principle on which the Alliance is founded are solid and correct ; we must succeed. -The. fight was no small affair.
