ILLUSTRATED BEE.
She Crossed Siberia
Mrs. William Mitchell Bunker of San
Francisco Is tho only person of her sex who
has mado tho Journey of 6,600 miles from
Vladivostok to Cronstadt on the Finnish
gulf. Sho mado tho trip at the Instance
of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce
to study tho ofTect of the Trans-Siberian
railway upon tho Pacific coast trade. Sho
arrived at Now York the other day on her
way home, having accomplished what she
set out to do, having only her husband for
company.
"It was on Decoration day, 1899, that wo
left Vladlvostock for Khabarovsk, a garri
son town near tho Junction of the Ussuri
and Amur rivers," said Mrs. Bunker. "The
narrow tablo in the dining car was decor
ated with tho most beautiful wild flowers.
Our Illy of tho valley Is the national wild
(lower of Siberia. No homo In Siberia Is
too humblo to bo without exquisite wild
flowors, of which I bought homo forty-two
specimens.
"It was a twenty-nine hours' ride to
Khabarovsk, where we stayed eight days
In the leading hotel, whose windows were
stuffed with red shirts. There were no ac
commodations whatever for washing.
"I had prepared for ray Journey across
Siberia by donning knickerbockers, men's
Bhocs, a suit of black woolen tights, a short
sorgo dress, a man'B cap and a corduroy
coat. Our outfit consisted of a mattress of
hay, hay pillows, half a dozen sofa pillows,
tin pitcher, tin basin, plated knife, fork and
spoon and tinned goods.
"From Khabarovsk a sldewheel steamer
with narrow benches for berths took us
D70 miles up tho Amur to Blagovestcheusk,
a city of 35,000. There wo took a stcrn
whoelcr on tho Shllka river for Stretylnsk
Wo passed through a hodgepodge of civili
zation. There woro half Siberians, holt
Manchurlans, Ooldlcs and Burlats, tho men
wearing closo-flttlng coats with long skirts,
round caps nnd long Russian boots. Their
hair was braided in two plaits nnd curled
behind tho enro, with long gilt pins stick
ing through tho curls. I went for six weeks
without sleeping In a bed from Khabarovsk
to Irkutsk, tho present eastern terminus
of tho Trans-Siberian railroad.
"Tho Amur was unexpectedly Interesting.
On each Bldo woro forests running down
to tho banks, and tho shores were pictur
esque. Twlco a day tho boat lands for
wood and tho Cossacks, who squat on tho
deck whilo tho boat moves, go ashore and
load, on tho wood for their passage.
Tho "temperature was between 90 and 100
degrees. I lost olghteen pounds In weight
during my trip to tho Finnish gulf.
"At Stretylnsk we embarked on a still
smaller steamer for Metrefarro, seventy-
flvo miles away, but when within twenty
' mil no r9 tti A nlnitA ttlA vltfAH a11 tf fAnlltv

that tho captain turned back fifteen miles
to Nortchlnsk, which is 3S0 years old, tho
oldest town In Siberia. Horo we took
n tnrantasa with a troika team. The tar
antass Is slung on wooden springs. It Is
seven foot long, four feet wide and equipped
with a buggy hood, visor, tarpaulin boot
and Is padded. A Tomsk horso trots In a
' dignified way between tho shafts under an
arch of threo musical bolls, while on each
sldo frantically gallops a Baikal pony with
u long forelock.
"At Chlia, in tho center of the trans-
Baikal region, we bought a light tarantass
for $125 and lived In It flvo days and nights
to Vcskhncoudlnsk, 108 miles from Mlssoya,
on tho oast bank of Lake Baikal.
"Wo ate and slept In tho tarantass while
tho vehicle was rattling along over the
post road. On account of tho Russian con
victs, who occasionally attack tarantasses,
wo slopt in watches, my husband guarding
mo with his hand upon a pistol while 1
slept. Tho musical tinkle and the mild at
mosphere lull to slumber and I never Blept
moro soundly In my life. From Mlssoya wo
crossed Lake Baikal on a big ferry boat to
Llstchnelva, a six-hours' sail. Although an
Inland lako It abounds In gulls and seals.
"A day out from Chita we were attacked
by flies as large as bumble bees, which
wo got rid of by stretching our mosquito
netting over tho hood of the tarantass.
Tho convicts whom we met seemed Jolly,
tho men and women murderers wearing
balls and chains and iron bands around
tholr waists.
From Irkutsk wo tcok a train de luxe
nnd were eight days and twenty minutes In
rolling Into Moscow. Baldwin locomotives
woro very much In evidence."
Irving as a Critic
Sir Henry Irving can give the keenest
but apparently most Ingenious criticism,
soys tho London M. A. P. For Instance,
ono ot his company, Mr. Valentine, was cast
tor an old Italian refugee, a capital charac
ter sketch, In "Bygones." Ho studied the
part carefully and considered himself per
fect at his first rehearsal. Sir Henry
watched tho pleco from beginning to ond
without saying a single word. That was a
had sign, When tho last word was spoken
ho came ovor to tho old Italian refugee in
his usual qutot way.
"Aro you going to play It like that?" he
asked.
Mr. Valentino suspected that If he said
"yes" Irving would possibly retort: "Then
I shouldn't!" If he said "no," Irving would
naturally ask: "Then, why not rehearse it
ns you mean to play It?" So ho wisely an
swered: "Well, on those lines. You see,
It's ray first rehearsal."
"I see," repeated Sir Henry, with a kind
smile. "An old Italian refugee, Isn't It?
Good part, yes. At present It's Valentine
with an accent, Isn't It?"
