MEASURES
TO SAVE SENATOR

Soldiers leading forlorn hope never
put up a nobler fight than did the little
group of defenders around Senator
Hanna's bedside When Fridays sun
sank il was believed that the Senator
could not survive until midnight. His
heart scarcely fiuttered. and the only
breath that passed his lips was Induced
by artificial means.
When today's sun rose over the white
dome of the Capitol and warmed the
windows Of the Arlington. the Senator
was sleeping peacefully, and all but one
of his faithful guard were taking a
much needed rest in the adjoining room.
A Hard Battle.
But the battle was by no means won.
The dawn Of the new day was but the
signal for another and perhaps Just as
