HOMER DAVENPORT, the cartoonist,
who was so severe on Senator Hanna
in the campaigns of 1896 and 1909,
does the amende honorable in car
toon in the Enquirer, where he shows
Uncle Sam sitting at the bedside of
the Senator, and the spirit of Nc
Kinley standing at his side, both
faces showing the greatest concern.
Below the picture Mr.. Davenport
says:
Senator Hanna's career proves
that no honest man need fear car
toon. Starting into public life in the
'96 campaign he has been the target
of vicious, even brutal, cartoons, al
most continuously, and yet he has
risen until today he is the strongest
figure in American politics. Should
he pass away in his present illness
an entire nation viii mourn. Homer

Facts About the Great
Siberian Railroad.

Much has been said and much asked
about the great Siberian railroad.
The line from Moscow and St Peters
burg to the UTal montains is well
built but the East end is single
track line, rather poorly built,
extending go miles from the Ural
mountains to Vladivostock, on the
Pacific coast, with a line to Port Ar
thur through Manchuria ard another
extending toward Pekin. At present
the road is interrupted by Lake
Baikal, across which trains are fer
ried on icecrushing steamboats,.
Someone has said it is no worse than
was the Union Pacific at the outset.
The rails weigh from AZ to IS pounds
to the yard, while American. rails
weigh from s. to IlO. Tney are bare
ly able to sustain the. weight of
trains at slow speed; the .embank-
ments and cuttings are too narrow
and to steep, the sleepers too fragile.
Consequently, there are frequent
spreading of rails, falls of loose
earth and subsidences of tracks, At
a certain curve a rails said to buckle
evrey time the express passes, and
must be renewed four times a week.
The weakness of the track makes
high speed impracticable. The ex-
press at about 20 miles an hour, the
