Senator Stanford was visiting CONSTANT

that should ask him to dinner at the

meal the Sultan brought up the subject Of
railroads and questioned Senator STAN

and operation He wanted to know all

cured, tho profits Of passenger and freight

I was surprised at his knowledge, and
Senator Stanford also was 80 surprised

coaching the Sultan on railroads. Said
he'll never had such catechism as that
before, and l DO not believe that any
