Sultan Abdul Hands life work-namey, the
construction Of railroad and telegraph line
from the Mediterranean port of Caiffa. by way
of Damascus to Medina and Mecca-presents
so many picturesque features that its extraordi-
nary political Importance has been completely
relocated to the background. For 1.2O0 years
pilgrims have been f1ocking in almost un-
|, broken and continuous stream TO these cities
from all the points Of Islam, from the Atlantic
coast OF Africa, from the northern wilds Of Asia,
from the Pacific coast provinces Of China, as
well as from the Philippines and the Dutch
Indies-cities hallowed IN their eyes, one by the
birth and the other by the entombment OF Ma
homet. The last few hundred miles Of that pill
grimage. which every pious Moslem considers it
necessary to perform during his lifetime to
secure salvation hereafter, lie across the most
fnhospitable and parched Of deserts, the horrors
of which have been still further intensified in
the past by the roaming bands Of Arab bandits,
whom no considerations Of creed deferred from
attacking and plundering the wanderers.
In fact the traversaI of the deserts by which
Medina and Mecca are surrounded on every side
constituted always the most difficult. arduous
and perious portion Of the pilgrimage, both
going and returning The idea that from hence
forth the pilgrims will have the opportunity of
covering this part Of their journey comfortably
and safely in railroad train, instead of afoot
camelback, is something that appeals TO
the imagination almost strongly the

versity Of Oxford-for Christian IS allowed TO

by which they are surrounded. The only two
Christians indeed, who have ever managed to
penetrate Mecca-namely, Burckhardt and the
late Sir Richard Burton-did so in the guise Of
dervishes and at the peril OF their lives; and
although German engineers, surveyors and
skilled labor were employed for the construc-
tion OF the line until the frontier of the Moslem
Holy Land was reached, at Medain-Saleh be-
yono that point they were not allowed TO pene-
trate, and everything thercin-the survey, the
superintending and the construction-was
complished by followers of the Prophet.

AT THE CATHOLIC CONGRESS-
Speaker Flags Rich Supporters Of So
ciai Settlements.


Chicago, Nov. 1S.-The modern So
cial settlements of American cities
were denounced as breeding places of
socialism and anarchy by Rev. James
B. Curry of New York in an address
at the Catholic missionary congress.
Father Curry, who labors among the
poor of the famous Cherry Hill dis
trict, flayed the rich supporters of
the social settlements of the crowded
city districts, declaring that many of
them go among the poor as Pharisees
and seek to excuse their own short
comings by their interest In the suf
ferings of their brothers. The speaker
inquired if any one had ever heard of
a social settlement among the rich to
teach them the sacredness of mar
riage and that champagne debauch
is as bad as one on mixed ale" The
speaker in closing, however, admitted
that the social settlement, purged of
what he termed its abuses and under
proper Catholic administration, would
be good department of endeavor for
the Catholic church.
Auxiliary Bishop Rhode of Chicago
urged the adoption of comprehen-
sive colonization scheme to take Cath

The chancellor, in the course OF his
interview with the emperor, asked his
majesty for a declaration, together

emperor would deal with state affairs

President Makes Request o.
Cabinet Officers.

Washington, Nov 1S-Every mem.
ber of the cabinet was present at the
days meeting. After the meeting it
became public that the cabinet has
been asked by the president to make
no recommendation in their annual
estimates to be submitted to congress
for the increase of salaries in their
respective departments. This will ap-
ply to government employees through.

ington. The suggestion was made to
the cabinet some time before the elec-
tion, but, it was explained at the
White House, has no connection with
the attack made in the Democratic
platform on the increase of expendi-
lures of the federal government
The request that no increases In
salaries be made does not apply to
cases of automatic promotion of emf
ployes from one grade to another.
