MECHANICS IN RUSSIA.—Between 3,000 and 4,000 people, consisting of Americans, English, Scotch, Irish, and Germans, are employed in the gigantic locomotive establishment recently put in operation in Persia, for the construction of locomotives for the great chain of Russian railroads. This large concern is under the direction of Maj. Whistler, recently from Lowell, Mass. A military guard is kept on duty to preserve order.
