Without touching upon the political aspect of thee object, which was also cschewed by subsequent speakers. he remarked that the southeastern corner of the Caspian Sea was of the greatest interest. as it had long been regarded as the hall-way house between Europe and Asia. and he I pointed out that Chat, on the Atreck, was at I present the farthest permanent Russian post I on the wayto Merv, and that it was intended | to have another point d‘appui at thjaoKihl.
