Like New York, Philadelphia has
had an enormous growth during the
year now drawing to a close. The
number of new buildings is 91OS, of
which $3.50 are dwellings. This is
equal to more than 20 Proctors.
Among the other buildings were Is
factories, 2 hospitals, 2 colleges and
80 churches. This surpasses a dozen
West Rutlands. During the last
six years the number of dwellings
built in Philadelphia has been stead
lily gaining each year and aggregates
"a ,2O6, or more than whole Rut-
land every year. Probably no other
city in this country has so large
population that is employed-men
women and children-in some pro-
ductive industry. The "city of
homes" now embraces an entire
county and million inhabitants.
This is because it has been a s'city
of brotherly love- 1t has made
less noise than New York and at
tracted less attention than Chicago,
but has attended quietly to its own
business of growing.
1t is no longer matter for dispute
that triple alliance entered into three
yeals ago by Germany, Russia and
Austria has been broken. The par
| ties to it have become disaffected,-
| Austria with Russian movements In
the East, while Germany wishes to
hold herself aloof from what may
prove an entangling alliance. The
disaffection of Germany became
known when she declined the protec
ton of Russian subjects in Bulgaria
which has been undertaken by France
And there is another sign of the times
Doubtless under the inspiration of th'
British Government English banker
have been unloading Russian loans
of which they are well rid, German
bankers having taken them off thei
hands, But as these mature German
bankers, doubtless under the influenc
of Prince Bismarck, refuse furthe
Russian loans. The conclusion /
clear that England and Germany wan
to be free when war comes to bate
down the Russians If they pan withou
raising clamor on the part Of ii
vestors in their respective countries
The situation in Bulgaria NEAR
while continues unsettled. 1t look
now as if the sobranje would M
e elect Prince Nicolas after all, whiG
might lead to serious complications
