There are 75,000 Russians, not Include, ing the soldiery, and the rest are with a few Maachua, Each race haa ita own section of the cliy, the Man.-hustill occupying ths original portion, around which the greater Harbin has been built But despite these racial divisions Harbin ts a tepresen-tatlv- e boom town, a "Wild West town In every sense, even to Its bad men. who, np to the outbreak ot hoatillttes. thought nothing of ehooling np the town on occasion. The romantic story of the Harbta of today begins with the survey of the East Chinese, or Manchurian, n branch of the railway. The Russian engineers engaged In the work started across . Manchuria from the Trans-Belk- al provinces, work Ing eastward in as straight a line aa possible toward Vladivostok. Thla Ion to run a bee line to the Pacific brought them In time to the western banka or the principal river of Manchuria the Sungari. Opposite setthem toy the scattered tlement of Harbin; twenty miles farther down the river was the city of Khullnchen. An American surveying party would have made a detour to tap so flourishing a commercial renter, hut. not ao the Russians. Harbin waa In front of them. It waa on n direct line with Vladivostok, the road would cross the river at Harbin, and twenty mile would be saved. In 1X84 Prince Kroiattkln, the noted Riis-la- n traveler, made .an extensive trip of exploration In Manchttri. Among other things lie entered the Sungari and went up that river to the head of navigation at Girin. In the first steamer ever In the river. Girin, by the water route. Is some 2U0 miles above Harliln. which Prince Kropotkin did not even mention In bto account of the trip. When they sere rowed by cool leu across the river to Harbin, the Russian surveyors had this expedition of their titled countrymen recalled to them by the tales of sonic of the older inhabitants about a white man, such as they were, who years before had ateanied post their village on hi way up the river, and who several weeks later steamed past again, this time down stream. Tlie Kusaluna at. once realized that they had rrossed the river at a navigable point, and were not alow In grasping the opportunity. They knew that their Government was desirous of rushing the building of the railroad wit hall possible speed. The Sungari was navigable for simmer or draught front far mIkivc the point where the line would emus It. The Amur was navigable t lienee to Khabarovsk, the northern terminus of the I'ssurl branrh of the Trans Siberian Railway, the southern terminus of which is Vladivostok. To this port the American rail ard other supplies for the new line were to be shipped. Nothing would be easier than to scad large ficantities of the snnrdtos over the Vesuri Railway to Khabarovsk, load them on steamers there, ship them np the Amur and the Pun-psn, to and there start Iv.i'.Ming tl:e line both toward Vladivostok east-o- f rails, bridge work and other and throurii Misnchuria Wot . e ard strn'cht for the link of the Siberian road.

Harbin leaped over night from a fishing village of a few hundred soul to a humming railroad center of several thousand. Then, while the railroad was being pushed with feverish baste serosa the plains in either direct km. and the foundations for the great bridge across tbe Sungari were rapidly being laid, word reached Harbin that the Czar Peninsula for had leased tbe Liao-tuna period of twenty-fi- t e years from the Chinese Imperial government, and a road was to be rmi to Port Arthur, on tbe penlnsuliis tip, from a point on the East Chine Railway, and at Harbin. the Junction was to Surveyors were immcdistely sent out from Harbin, and, as a result, iu a few months material was coining in greater more quantity than ever by artisans were arriving from Russia and Rocking from tbe towns of Central Maucburia, and more rooile by the thousand were being employed, for two railways were now being built out of Harbin instead of one. In tbe meantime tbe railway administrator. who had practical authority over llarbin, though Manchuria officials were in nominal control, had aolved the problem of supplying the town and the railroads buildera with food stuffs. Harbin ia situated in tbe heart of the moat productive part of Manchuria. A fertile plain stretches for miles lu the south, and a much larger one, with great forests, to the northwest. Almost everything to raised on them in abundance wheal, rye, corn, oats, barley, rice, grasses, vegetables and fruits and each plain is tapped by navigable rivers, the aouthern by the Sungaro, the northern by the Nunnl, which empties into the Sungari at Bodune, fifty miles above Harbin. All tuia the Ruaaiana found out as they weut from Harbin to build the railway, and soon doVra the rivers came supplies In ample quantity, brought by Chinese farmers, who bad been told of the promising new market for their products, and by Russian steamers sent Into the plains country to buy foodstuffs at the villages along the river bank. Consequently, when, in 1900, 6,000 Bozers besieged the town for six months, .until ths approach of three Russian relief expeditions, more than enough supplies usd been accumulated to carry the besieged safely through on liberal rations. At the time of the siege ISO foreigners, mostly Russians, were left in the town; the rest were scattered along the lines of the building railways.
