THE NEW SIBERIA.

To most persons the word Siberia con veys little impression beyond a rather hazy idea of a frozen region where Rus sia sends her criminals. No other people are associated in the popular mind with the country, and few trouble themselves to inquire into the size or characteristics of the country. Of the former, Prof. Ed win A. Grosvenor in The National Geo. graphical Magazine says:
 If the forty-five States which compose the American Union were taken up and planted bodily in the midst of Siberia, they would be enclosed in every direction by a wide border of land. Gn this border territory all the countries of Europe ex- cept Russia could likewise be planted bodily, and there would remain still un- occupied 300000 square miles, an area twice the size of imperial Germany.
 This illustration will give some idea of the immense extent of Siberia, but much of it Is almost uninhabitable. There is an area of 1,60O,0O0 square miles where, according to Grosvenor, the ground is frozen throughout the entire year, some- times to a depth of forty feet, and in all this large tract there are supposed to be but about 100 GOO inhabitants. Then there is a middle zone of 2.32O,OOO square miles, abounding in game, and with vast wealth of metals and minerals, with popula- tion roughly estimated at one million Still further south is another zone GOV ering 900, 900 square miles-eiehteen times as large as Alabama-where vast crops of grain can be grown, where coal, iron gold and other minerals abound, and which now has population estimated at | 7,Oo0, OOO.
 This is the Siberia which is so entirely at variance with any impression conveyed ] by the name. Railroads are penetrating that region, immigrants are pouring into it, and in a comparatively short time
 Southern Siberia will be a populous anc prosperous country, Russian convicts are
 still sent to Siberia. but the idea that tts

HANNA MAY RESIGN.
Ohio Senator May Denounce "the
 Rooseveltian Theorv.o

New York Special to New Orleans Times Democrat.
 A special from Washington to The Evening Post says,
 sensational turn has been given to the fact that Senator Hanna does not share President Roosevelt's views as to | the way to distribute federal offices in
 the South, eliminating in the statement | that Senator Hanna is about to issue | formal proclamation denouncing the
 Rooseveltian theory, and then resign his | office as chairman of the Republican Ma
 tional Committee.
 | That MT. Hanna. may resign his chair
 manship is and has for some time been | among the possibilities. He was anxious
 to quit the arduous duties of the place in
 the campaign of 1900. but yielded to the | earnest pleas of President Mckinley and | remained at the head of the committee l It was the understanding that he would | have sought release after the election. | but was persuaded out of the idea by some of his associates. who wished to re-
 store the old party machine and control the action of the convention of 1904 They | had no specific candidate in mind but wished to have their hands on the | lever that they could throw the nomina- tion in whichever direction they desired when the time came. The trend Of the patronage policy of the administrai2n in the South has served notice, of course, upon a large group of machine managers there that their day has come.
 It was in the South that the hand of,
 Mir. Hanna did most injury. At the con-
 vention of 1896. when delegations came to St Louis from Southern States pledged to vote for anyone he might name tbut had to be pledged over again) ana at an equal cost to vote for the existing gold standard, which was not included | in the original compact, the public gained | a glimpse of the rottenness or the party
 machinery in Louisiana, Alabama. Texas. | South Carolina and elsewhere. At Phla- | delhpia the last year this characteristic
 was not so much in evidence, as the re- | nomination of Mckinley was a foregone conclusion, and the Southern factions had
 not so much to hope from carrying their
 local fights into the national arena.
 Mir. Roosevelt has long entertained de-
 cided opinions as to the right of the Southern people to as much consideration
 under a Republican as under a Demo- | cratic administration and could not take | the same view as MT. Hanna of the
 righteousness or patriotism of keeping
 mere machines going in States where | their party consisted of nothing else. He | has, therefore, sought the advice of the | best men, irrespective of party or race.
 on his Southern appointments, instead of calling upon MT. Hanna to tell him what
 to do, and then doing 1t and holding
 Hanna responsible for the result.
 Naturally this has been embarrassing
 for the Senator. although it has not come
 upon him without abundant and entirely
 courteous notice. It places him in the
 position of being unable to carry out
 some of the plans which he had fore
 cast to his followers in the South. and
