He Says There Is Little Fear In Europe
That Bryan VIII Re Elected.
Oswald Ottendorfer arrived home yesterday
on the Fuerst Bismarck after his fifteenth an
nual summer vacation trip to Europe He sailed
from New York on May s. and while on the Con-
tinent he visited Berlin. Dresden, Munich, Bres-
lau. and Interlaken. Most of his time was
spent at Nauheim. health resort near Frank
fort the Main. Mr.. Ottendorfer did not de-

Europe and found that the return trip to Amer
lea did him moro good than his whole sojourn
on the other side. In speaking on the political

take stock in such proposition. The only class
that upholds free silver there is the agrarans.
who are for the most part wealthy land owners.
All the rest are gold monometallists. Singu-

gold standard. They will not hear OF free sill

While in Interlaken had several converse
tions with Herr BamoerRer. a former member
on finance. He held the opinion that it was i'm
