Jacob Burkett, of Nebraska, will be
sworn in on the 4th of March as a SEN
ator from that state as the successor
of Senator Dietrich. Mr.. Burkett was
born December 1, 1867. This makes
him about four years younger than Mr..
Bailey and about five years younger
than Mr.. Beveridge, of Indiana, who
has been close second to Bailey for
the distinction of being the most youth
full member of the senate.
All three of these young men might
pass for having fewer years than they
can lay claim to. Mr.. Beveridge un-
doubtedly is at the present time the
most youthful looking man in the SEN
ate He is of rather fair complexion,
with dark brown hair, smooth face, and
is boyish in his manner and in his feel
ings. Although Mr.. Bailey is year his
junior, the Texan has a dignified bear
ing and thoughtful expression that
adds to his age, although his face is
smooth and as red-cheeked as a boy
of 18. His deliberate manner and
thoughtful expression are those of q
man we'll on in middle life. He, how
ever, was born on October 6, 1863, while
Mr.. Beveridge was born on the same
day in 1862.
Mr.. Burkett would easily be taken
for Mr.. Beveridge's senior. He has a
rather heavy. dignified appearance and
is very formal in his address. He rep
resents the possibilities of the Amer
lean boy and his biography shows that
he has won his senatorial toga by merit
and hard work. He was born on a farm
in Iowa and had the usual experience
of western farmer lad with ambitions
that looked beyond the cornfield. He
taught school in Nebraska and read law
at the state university of that state be-
ing admitted to the bar in 1893. He
was elected to the state legislature in
1896 and served three terms in congress.

row on the republican side adjoining
the middle aisle. Since the death of
President Mckinley, which put Theo-
dore Roosevelt at the head of the gov
eminent, Mr.. Frye has continuously
presided over the senate as it's presi-
dent pro tenn. He will doubtless con-
tinue to enjoy that honor and fill the
presiding officers chair when Vice
President Fairbanks is away, but the
Indiana senator, as vice president, will
WELD the gavel by right Of his Office.
Der of the senate succeeds to the vice
presidency.
Mr.. Frye will be welcomed back on
the floor of the senate, where he long
ago earned distinction as one of the
strong debaters in that body. He has
been at the head of the senate COM
mittee on commerce for many years.
and on all measures that come from
that committee he is an authority and
his speeches are always Informative and
Instructive. He has at his fingers tips
all sorts of information on river and
harbOr Improvements, as for many years
he has virtually made those appropria-
ton bills that pertain to this work. A
few years ago while debating one of
the provisions of a river and harbor
bill the senate was startled by the ia
cility with which Mr.. Frye reeled off
figures, percentages and estimates in
seemingly bewildering tangle. Motto
ing the curious looks of his colleagues
as he would recapitulate column of
figures running into the hundreds of
millions, he smilingly explained that
when boy at college his bette noir was
mathematics.

but the people were afraid to disobey
and shortly Peters town boasted quite
a population. In 1705 the Swedes de-
cided they would like to regain their
lost territory and made attack upon
the town Peter was trying to build.
The invaders were not successful, but
the attempt led Peter to erect a
fortress near the sea, and Cronstadt
was built.
The tsar now had his fortress and
port, and what matter if sometimes the
waters rose and almost drowned the
jewellers in the town, made up OF
small islands? The tsar but laughed
and commanded workmen proceed with
their labors. Disease, cold, various
hardships thinned the numbers, but
Peter never gave up his idea of max
ing ST. Petersburg great city. And
presently, after the Swedes were en-
tirely vanquished, the thought Of maxi
ing it capital presented itself to him.
He hated Moscow, he would transfer
the capital, make of st. Petersburg a
city that should surpaSs all other Eu-
ropean capitals.
He ordered the nobility quickly to
change their principal place of resi-
dence from Moscow to ST. Petersburg

has ended was largely an Inheritance
from the martyred Mckinley, and Pres

These are civil Offices known as "presi-
dential," whose incumbents must be
confirmed by the senate. They are
places in the civil branch that are not
covered by the civil service. In addi-
ton, of course, there are permanent
commissions in the army, navy and jul
dietary, but these do not count in the
distribution of what are recognized as
political positions. The most produc-
tive part of the presidential plum or
chard is that in the post Office de-
partment. There are 5,0S2 places at
the disposal of the president, all but
IA of them being misunderstanding Of
the first, second and third class. The
fourth class postmasterships, which
carry less than $1,000 salary, are not
distributed by the president.
In the state department there are
five ambassadorships paying s17,5OO
per year each; two ambassadorships
those at Vienna and Rome, paying
$4,000. There are 80 ministers who
receive $4,000 to $4,000 per annum;
then there are secretaryships of en-
baSsies and legations paving from
$1,000 to s2.625 each. The total num-
Der of presidential appointments under
the state department amounts to 1,169.

was no stone to be had caused the
intrepid tsar to send forth an edict
that every vessel entering port should

were looked upon as practically bar
barians, the Muscovite empire being
regarded as more of an Oriental king
dom than a European. The tsar of
that period was very like an Oriental
potentate, his immediate surroundings
were as splendid and glittering as
those of any eastern monarch, and the
few occasions when he showed himself
to his subjects it was with wonder
full splendcr of jewels and attendants.
He was such sacred parsonage his
subjects might not look upon him save
on the rarest occasions. An English
physician who attended the tsar that
was contemporary of Charles II. of
England, relates that whenever the
tsar left the precincts of the palace
the east gate of The inner wall of the
city was closed until his return, and
that on one occasion when he went
to visit a subject he did not go by a
common way, for the side wall was
pulled down. But presently there
came to the throne a man of action
rather than of luxury and retirement,
a man that turned things upside down
In Russia and paved the way for mod
ern progreSs-Peter the Great And
he it was that founded ST. Petersburg
(17O3).
To be able to have any understand
ing of what Is meant by the state
ment that Peter the Great introduced
western civilization into Russia, made
it one of the great powers of the
world, one must have some Iealiza-
ton of conditions in this land at the
time of his accession. Mobiles as we'll
as clergy were untaught, the clergy
frowned upon education. Peter, in his
fits of drunkenness, his fiendish
cruelty, his coarseness, was himself a
barbarian; but a barbarian gifted with
deep patriotism, wonderful energy,
much resource, and a barbarian that
accomplished wonders in starting his
nation on an equality with civilized
countries.
Strongly interested in maratime af-
fairs, Peter desired port for the time
when a Russian fleet should be more
than dream; and he set to work with
characteristic determination to build

The first impression the stranger in
st. Petersburg receives is that of a
city of long stately streets, numbers
of palaces and public buildings of
somber dignity, great gilded domes of

the splendor of the many palaces, in

from his department He has aimed to
make the department an educational
institution on all subjects, scientific and
practical, that deal with agriculture.
During the last fiscal year this de-
partment issued 972 separate bulletins,
a big increase over the year before, and
they comprised nearly $4,000 printed
pages. The total number of copies of
all publications sent out during the
year was 12,421 1856. In five years the
publication work of this department has
been doubled. In recent years the re-
quests from educational institutions
have greatly increased, with normal
schools taking the lead.
1t has been the policy of Secretary
Wilson to see that these educational
institutions are supplied with all
they want. 1t is pretty heavy
draft upon the departments resources,
as the demands for documents vary in
number from 40 to so copies of some
special class to as many as 5000 to
1000 requested by state superintend-
ents for general distribution to teach
ers. The expenditure of money in this
distribution is regarded, however, as
fully justified, as it advances the edu-
cational work of the department.
There is every prospect that these re-
quests for school supplies will greatly
increase in the future. The burden
upon the United States mail service Is
as great as is the expense of preparing
and printing these documents, but
that, too, is regarded as amply justi-
fed.
