Newspapers of To-Day.

People generally, andeven those who
may be termed steady readers and close
observers, have but a faint conception
of the magnitude and influence the
press of this country has attained.
From careful examination of the ad-
vance pages Of the 1885 edition of the
American Newspaper Directory, issued
May 1st, by Geo. P. Rowell e. Co., of
New York, it appears that there are
ID, 147 newspapers published in the Uni
ted States and Canada; Of these the
United States has 1898, an average of
one paper for every 1867 persons. In
1884 the total number Of newspapers
was less by 1913 than at present; and
while the gain this year is not SO mark
ed as in some previous years, it is still
considerable, Kansas shows the great
est increase, the number being Is, while
Illinois follows with gain of ", Itis
curious to notice that New York, the
scene Of so much political activity dur
ing the last campaign, should have only
about one-third as many new papers as
the Slate of Pennsylvania. AS an in
dex b the comparative growth and
prosI Ierity of different sections of the
country, especially the Territories, the
number Of new papers forms an inter-
estin study, and may well occupy the
attertion Of the curious.

MADRID, Aug. 27.-There were ATT
new cases OF cholera and l.49s deaths
from the same reported throughout
Spain yesterday.
The government has closed the doors
of the Army and Navy club, because the
officers belonging to the club have re-
turned their German decorat ions, and be-
cause the club has struck from its list of
honorary members the names of German
officers and that OF the crown prince of
Germany. The press and army are dis
gusted by the amicable attitude that has
been suddenly displayed by the cabinet
toward Germany. The ministerial papers
have adopted a modified tone, while the
opposition Journals attack Germany with
increased vigor. The result is that seven
of the latter papers have been seized and
will be prosecuted. Public feeling is more
decided than ever against any concession
to Germany.

pany agree to this, all trouble will be at
an end. Turner further said the execu-

discharged men be reinstated.
New YORK, Aug. 27.-The members
of the executive board of the Knights of

Manager T~almadge. Turner and
Hughes responded and they were in
formed, in answer to their demand made

Wabash shops. Talmadge said he would
go to st. Louis and confer with the
officials there, and then ON Thursday of
next week give a definite reply as to the
reinstatement Of the men.

work for all discharged men, but all that
can be employed will be taken back. |

to make it appear hat no dread of per-
sonal danger to the car was entertained,
Alexander was really alert and uneasy,
and he added to the secret precaution ar
ranged for his safety more than one device
Of his own. He was pale and careworn
during his entire stay, and he himself
suggested several precautions to the Aus
trian authorities. A few unimportant
arrests were made during his stay. The
car owns a mastiff possessed of uncom-
MOI strength and intelligence. The mas
tiff has been carefully trained as a body
guard, and as is well known in Moscow
and st. Petersburg watches beside his
masters couch every night. This dog
