of the probable future, founded upon
their experience of the past, must have
a good deal of weight and are we'll
worth preserving by all who consider
themselves liable to live for fifty years
more. The future is necessarily en-
shrouded in an impenetrable veil. as is
shown by the inceSSant errors of judg-

Yorker had been told that at the head
of Lake Michigan would rise city
with 100000 inhabitants he would have

had been told the American con-
tinent would be crossed by iron horses.

his informant as insane. Fifty years
ago, if the statement had been made
that persons many miles apart could in

speaking into trumpet-shaped funnel,
or tapping on little handle run by

would remark that the author was
afflicted with softening of the brain.

fore the following interviews with men
of well-known sagacity and Judgment
will be read with interest by all.
Some may think the opinions
expressed optimistic, but the tend
ency of Northwestern ideas is to
look forward to the future in the most
imaginative manner. Many undoubt-
edly will say the estimates of st. Paul's
size and grandeur are decidedly under
drawn. While one man was making
the statement that the population would
be 100000, his partner suggested that
$wice that would be nearer to the mark.
However, it will be seen by considera-
tion that those who express themselves
herein are conservative men in utterly
different walks of life. and men whose
opinions carry considerable weight
wherever they are expressed. They
all recognize that they probably shoot
wide of the mark, but express the opin-
ions they do as the result of mature de-
liberation based upon facts already
known. 1t is curious how unanimous
they are in placing st. Pauls popula-
ion at about 100000.

Their Own Right Nobly.
BERLIN, May 18.-The fourth session
of the Samoan conference, which was
held yesterday, took place in the small
room of the department of foreign af-
fairs, in which the other three meetings
have been held. The apartment is fur
nished with extreme simplicity. There
is space for little besides long table
at which the commissioners sit. The
meeting was called to order shortly
after o'clock by Count Herbert Bis
marck, who presides at all the meetings
in accordance with the established Gus
tom that the highest representative of
the government of the country in which
a conference is held shall preside.
Count Herbert sat at the upper end of
desk, which the late Emperor Frederick
used during his brief reign. He was
flanked by two colleagues next to Baron
Won HorStein, who sat on Count Her
bert's right, came Mr.. Kasson, then Mr..
Phelps and then Mr.. Bates. the Amer
lean commissioners. At the other end
of the table the two secretaries of the
commission, Mr.. Beauclernek. Secre-
tary of the British foreign Office, and
Herr Stemlech. of the German foreign
Office, were busily engaged recording the
proceedings. At Count Herbert's left was
DR.. Kranel, the third German commits
sioner. Then followed Sir Edward Malet,
Mr.. Scott and Mr.. Grove, the English
representatives in the order named.
None of the commissioners were in uni
form or in court dress, but all wore
black frOck coats. The proceedings
were almost entirely formal. They con-
sisted chiefly in listening to the reports
of the various subcommittee. which
have been holding daily sessions ever
since the conference met at these meet
ings. The real work of the conference
has been transacted, and, as nearly as
can be learned, the American commits
sioners have succeeded in carrying
every important point they set out to
obtain. Indeed. SO prevalent is this
feeling in Berlin that the Berlin press
and other influential papers in Germany
complain of the
SUCCESS OF TIE AMERICANS,
while the greatest secrecy in regard to
the proceedings is maintained, and
