INFORMATION FOR FUTURETRAVELERS The total time between Vladivostokand Moscow was thirty-eight days. Ihave recently received a letter from , of Philadelphia, in which hestated that he had made the Amur tripeastward the latter part of August,with high water, in eight days, againstour nineteen, and that the whole jour-ney was a most interesting and enjoy-able one. The Trans-Siberian Railroad is wellconstructed—in my judgment, much.
