WAR AND STATE OF BUSINESS.
Uncertainty of the Situation Has At
fected the Trade.

New York, April 25.-If Turkey or
Greece had been wholly buried in the sea
the markets might have been affected less
than by the outbreak of war in Europe.
Like a fire in the heart of a crowded city,
1t raised the question whether a general
conflagration might spring out of it. 10
this possibility, and not to the direct IN
fluenCe of either Turkey or Greece, upon
the worlds money or produce market was
due the excitement in grain and stocks.
AS the unknown is magnified, American
markets were much more Tightly than the
European, where possibilities have been
discussed and partly discounted for
months. The uncertainty remains and
will affect the movement of money ana
staples until it disappears, creating
larger demand for American products at
higher prices, says r. G. Dun &, Co.'S. in
it's review of the business situation. Sales
of wool have been largely Offering, re-
ceipts being swelled by arrivals of guam
titles sold some time ago; and imports at
Boston for the week are 30 coo bales. Fer
the three chief cities sales were 81 ,03G, 500
pounds in three weeks 20,27I.300 being Tor
eign, against 15,906,100 in 1892, including
900 fOreiGn. But manufacturers are
doing scarcely anything, and orders for
goods improve little. though for somewhat
better grades of goods. Failures for the
week, 218 against 23S last year.

IL CANADA WERE IN REVOLT.



If Canada were to arise in revolt against
the British monarchy, as Cuba has arisen
against the Spanish monarchy, and We're
to strike for independence and self-gov-
ernment as Cuba has struck for them, the
Americans would very surely take deep
interest in the Canadian question.
If England Were to send hundreds Of
thousands of troops to Quebec TO crush the
Canadian revolt, as Spain has sent hun
dreds of thousands to Havana against the
Cuban revolt the American interest in the
affair would grow yet stronger.
If the English troops were not only to
fight the belligerent Canadians but were
to butcher the defenCeless inhabitants of
Canada, murder the Canadian prisoners of
war, burn the hospitals of the Canadian
insurgents, shoot all Canadians suspected
of sympathizing with the insurrecton,
Kill women and children, execute citizens
without trial, Danish people to penal set
Elements in Africa, and do other evil deeds
resembling those of Spain in Cuba, Amer
lean sympathy for the suffering Canadians
would be too strong for repression
II England were to send against the
Canadians a savage general, with full
power to turn Canada into a charnel
house, and to lay waste its provinces as
Spain has sent the savage Weyler to Gu
ba, we think that the Americans of this
generation WOuIQ cry HIATT very soon
after the carnage and the ravages had be-
gun.
If the English We're to claim that, be-
cause they held Quebec and other fortified
places against the Canadians, as the Span
iards hold Havana and a few other strong
holds against the Cubans, it was THEN
privilege to destroy all the rest of Cana
da we do not think the Americans would
acquiesce
If England were to say that she has
maintained her authority in Canada for
many years, and that the country is hers
by right of conquest, which is what
Spain says about Cuba, the Americans
would probably reply that it was time fol
| England to get out when the Canadians
| didn't want her any longer.
If England were to argue that because
she suppressed the Papineau- Mackenzie
revolt in Canada sixty years ago, she
| would certainly suppress any other revolt
as Spain says she is sure to win in Cuba
| this time because she won there thirty
| years ago, the Americans would probably
regard the argument as inconclusive.
If at the time of the Canadian uprising
there should be in the white house a
president like Cleveland, and in the state
department a secretary like Olney, anG
If the two should do all they could to he'll
England i'm Canada, as they have done al
in their power to help Spain in Cuba, we
apprehend that the congress of the United
States and the American people would
quickly tie their hands, and then raise

and, although he is regarded as a loyal
lieutenant of Senator Quay, his friends
declare that his individuality will asesrt
Itself as he grows a little older, and his
natural abilities will be demonstrated
Senator Quay is very fond of Mr.. PEN
rose, and has been training him for sew
eral years to be his successor as the Re-
publican boss in that state
Mr.. Quay first picked up Robert Adams
for that destiny. He is a young man OF
excellent family, which counts so much in
Philadelphia, with an Independent .or-
tune, a good speaker and a knack for
politics. He had him elected to the iegis-
lature, then to the state senate, and then
got President Harrison to send him as
minister to Brazil in order that he might
have a little diplomatic experience. At
the next election after his return. ne put
him up for congress, but Adams did not
fill the bill. He was too fond of society,"
He liked to go to balls and dinner parties,
and was a great ladies' man, which de-
tracted from his usefulness as q politician
Mr.. Quay tried to correct these habits,
but Adams social instincts We're too
strong for him, and he had finally to give
up.
Boies Penrose had already made consid-
cradle headway in local politics, and had
attracted Mr.. Quay's attention. After
watching him closely for n while and
subjecting him to various tests to see
what stuff there was in him, the sena-
tor decided to make Penrose his politi-
cal heir, and he is now the crown prince
of the Pennsylvania machine. He sent
Penrose to the state senate and kept him
there until he was recognized by every
body as Mr.. Quay's personal representa-
tive. Now he comes to the United States
senate, young, able, accomplished and
with prospect of a famous career. Ger
tainly no young man, and he is only So
years old, ever had a finer opportunity
to distinguish himself, and they say that
he Is made of the proper kind of stuff.
Like Adams Mr. Penrose comes from the
exclusive circles of the Philadelphia aris-
tocracy. He is rich, goodlooking, elo-
quent in speech, bright, witty, studious
and ShreMl

THE LARGEST BRIDGE.
A Great Structure Recently Erected
Over the Danube River.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The longest railroad bridge in Eu-
rope, and, in fact, the world, was re-
Gently opened to traffic with great cere-
mony. The new railroad bridge over
the Danube river at Czernavoda is one
of the most important technical achieve
ments of recent date. For more than
nine miles this bridge crosses the Dan
ube proper and the SO-called inundation
which is annually under water for a
certain period of time. The largest
spans are over the main current of the
river there being one $40 feet and four
455 feet each. The total length of the
bridge proper, without any approaches,
is lS,325 feet, while the largest railroad
bridges in the world measure as fol-
lows: Tay bridge, Scotland, 10, 725 feet !;
Mississippi bridge, at Memphis, 10, GOO
feet; the Forth bridge, Scotland, $500
feet; the Morody bridge, in Galicia, 1850
feet and the bridge over the Volga,
near Sysran, 4,7OO feet.
The clear height of the bridge over
the main channel is so calculated that
even at hight water the largest Ves-
sells sailing on the Danube may pass
under it. The clear height of the dis
tance from high water mark which is
taken at So feet above low water mark,
measures 105 feet to the lowest rafters
of the superstructure. The caissons
upon which the foundations of the
bridge piers rest reach to rock bottom
of 1l5 feet below high water mark. The
Roumanian government has just cause
to be proud of this magnificent struc-
ture, which enables travellers from Lon
don to COnstantinople or India to short
en- their trip by fully sixteen hours
The promise of diverting the transcon
tinetal mails from other lines was the
most potent factor in bringing about
the construction of this bridge over the
Danube on the part of Roumania.
