The country will not hesitate to accept as
absolutely sincere the feeling of horror ex-
pressed by Governor Taylor of Kentucky at
the infamous crime committed at Frankfort

Then came the project of transfiXing the
continent of Asia with a railroad line. and
while the other powers were shaking thefr
heads over this stupendous enterprise, and
forecasting financial ruin for the empire,
the work was quietly pressed season after
season until now the whole line is nearly
completed. giving Russia at last great mill
tary, political and commercial power over
China and northern Asia.
But this is not all. AS the Siberian rail-
road has been advanced Russian families
and even entire communities have been per-
suaded to emigrate to Siberia, the govern
ment offering marked inducements in the
form of land grants and even loans, and
by this means the line of the railroad mas
been developed into a comparatively popu-
lous territory, the desire of the government
being to wipe away the unfortunate reputa-
ton of the land as a penal colony and to
develop it into grain-producing home for
the surplus millions of the older portion of
the realm. Thus has new state been
brought into being. with rich prospects for
future DEVELOPMENT.
What has happened in Siberia may not,
of course, happen in the same degree in
Persia: yet the story told in Siberia of the
establishment of Russian power Is being
told as well in Turkestan, where railroad
is being used to transfuse Russian people
and Russian ways into that prehistoric
area. With firm grasp on the Persian
finances and animated by the ruling spirit
of empire building. 1t is easy to foresee the
gradual absorption by Russia of this last
remaining barrier between her and the
Indian ocean. With Persia taken into the
great Muscovite system there will have
been created chain of territories reaching
eastward from the North sea to the Pacific
and southwark to the Indian ocean, the
greatest continuous expanse of land under
a single control in the world. and capable
of working wonderful results in the worlds

they would come to this country, and,
with the consent of their parents, each
purchased a ticket for Indianapolis,

started. All the way over the suitors
pressed their claims with all ardor,
but the girls declared that the nearer
they came to America the greater their
desire became to be free and un-

made known to the two lovers, who,
as soon as landed in Baltimore on Sat

PAN-AMERlCAN EXPOSITION.
Handsome Government Building Uncle

handsome Government building Uncle
Sam VIII Have at Buffalo.
At the Pan-American Exposition
next year at Buffalo the United States
will have a group of three buildings
for the government display. The main
building will be 100 feet wide and 600
feet long, and on either side, connected
by colonades, will be the lesser Duild-
ings, each $50 feet square. The gov
eminent work is under the direction
of James Knox Taylor, supervising
architect of the treasury department.
The group will be treated architecture
ally in modified Spanish renaissance,
the details suggesting a Mexican
rather than strictly Spanish origin.
Like the others, these buildings will
be constructed of staff, already made
familiar to the public by its use at
the Chicago and more recent Omaha
exposition. The color scheme, in
marked contrast to that used at Chi
cago, will be rich and brilliant, the
lavish use of color and the gliding
giving, with the intricate plastic dec
orations and sculpture groups, an en-
semble both striking and interesting.
Portions of the roofs, covered with red
Spanish tiles, will add much to the
character of the building as whole.
In plan, the buildings are shaped like
a letter U, the opening being toward
the west. The main building corre-
spends to the bottom of the U, which
will accommodate the greater portion
CT the government exhibits, the admin
istrative offices, guard room, etc. Its
center will be surmounted by a dome,
the apex of which, $50 feet above the
main floor level and crowned with
figure of Victory 20 feet in hight, will
form one of the most conspicuous fea-
lures of the exposition grounds. Con-
nected by colonnades to the main
building are the two lesser buildings
or pavillions, one of which is intended
to hold an exhibition typical of life
and labor In the governments new
possessions; while the other will con-
tain a branch station of the United
States weather bureau. and the ex-
hibit, aquariums, etc., Of the United
States fish commission. Inlets from
the lagoon fill the spaces within the
colonnades connecting the pavilions
with the main building. The central
piazza, the space enclosed by the arms
of the U, is decorated by steps, ter
races and formal flower beds, making
an easy and beautiful approach to the
main entrance under the dome.
