Americans. Years ago. before We lost our
merchant marine, the Americans were
among the most prominent of the foreign

within recent years are men of high stand

Buenos Ayres From the HousetoPs.
Alphabetically Buenos Ayres is a patch
work city. 1 have rooms high up in one of
its biggest hotels. They are high in price,
as well as in altitude. They cost me S
Argentine dollars a day. l am on the
fourth floor, and from my balcony | can
see over most of the roofs of the city. Step
out of the window with me and take d
bird's-eye view of Buenos Ayres. Below
and about us lies n vast ragged plain of
enc and two-story houses. whose fiat roofs
are made of bricks, or brick tiles or cor
above the others. and the whole looks
like a lot of great store boxes Jumbled
together along narrow canyons, which are
the streets. Away TO the south you see
big warehouses. That is BARRACKS. the
part OF the city where meat. wool and
hides are prepared for shipment to America
and Europe. To the north there is a spot
| OF green woods. That is Palermo park,
where all the swells go TO ride and drive
every afternoon You may see a thousand
carriages there at j time.
To the east beyond that thicket of masts
and spars lining the docks, extending on
and on until they meet the horizon. are the
muddy waters of the Rio de la Plata, which
connects Buenos Ayres with the rest of the
world. The river here Is twenty-eight
miles wide and in the foggy. misty air we
can not see its opposite banks.
Buenos Ayres is only forty-eight feet
above the Atlantic ocean, and back around
and beyond it extends the vast plain of
the valley of this river, as rich here as
that of the Mississippi. 1t Is cut up by
| railroads and spotted with farms, some OF
| which support cattle and sheep in herds
of thousands.
AS you look more closely at the roofs be.
low you see that many of them surround

front or behind the houses. and the masses
here live without plants: flowers or trees
There are no chimneys. The Argentines dc

saying that Paris is France. She IS not
SO to the extent that Buenos Ayres is the
Argentine. There are a half dozen different
cities in France which are Independent
commercial centers. Paris is by no means
all France industrially. She is so artist
ically, socially and perhaps intellectually.
Buenos Ayres is the political capital of the
Argentine. II is its commercial capital, its
industrial capital. its financial, social and
intellectual capital. Politically the most OF
the Argentine congressman are Buenos
Ayres citizens. Many of them who repre-
sent PARKWAY districts practice law here.
The live in the city the year round, al
though they may now and then go to see
their constituents. The republic IS COM
posed of rotten boroughs supplied by
Buenos Ayres men. The result is that
when Buenos Ayres takes snuff the whole
Argentine sneeZes.
Industrially, Buenos Ayres has IS per
cent of the factories of the republic. II
has more than 800, employing over 1900
hands. The great volume of foreign trade,
now amounting TO more than s2oo,oU.Vp
a year, passes through Il. Its wholesale
houses supply the republic with goods.
There are, in fact, only two places IN the
observation-disclosures Ayres and the Camp.

Ayres.
Big Banks and Argentine
Commercially and financially Buenos
Ayres is the Argentine. 1t has the banks
which supply the republic with money: big
banks, with fine buildings; banks with de-
posts of from So,0oo.OO9 silver dollars down.
1t had one with a capital of $e,O0,pv, but
this was closed by the failures which

Ayres has its stock exchange, where "The
Argentine" is bought and sold in parcels.
and where stocks and bonds rise and fall
as Buenos Ayres thinks them good or bad.
on this exchange more than O0,GGO.G0 gold
dollars worth of stock was fioated during
the ten years ending in 1889. When the
panic came 80 per cent of the companies
failed, and most of the shares are now
not worth / per cent of their face value.
Nevertheless. both city and country are in
Il good inancia condition.
AS a social center Buenos Ayres is the
Argentine. The most of the money made
in the Camp IS spent Eere. The city has
scores of m~illionaires. nabobs who each
own their J0.O61 acres of land and who
count their cattle and sheep in herds OF
thousands. They may go to their farms In
the summer, but their winters are spent

A CASHIERS SURPRISING ADMISSION.



New YORK, Feb 3.-William J.
Quinlin, Jr., cashier of the Chemical
National bank, has resigned his position.
He acknowledged in letter to the di
reetors that he had loaned 1898, 900 of
the banks money without consulting
the president and knowing the directors
would not approve of the action. He
denies that he profited by the loans.
President Williams said he believed
Quinlan was mentally unbalanced He
had loaned the vast amount of money
in little more than six weeks. Quin-
Ian had been with the bank SO years,
working himself up from office boy.
The men who got the money were in
terested i'll western business schemes.
President Williams estimated that
John S. Silver received $150,000 and o
man named Cradle $243, 900.
1t is not known at present what course
the directors intend to adopt in regard
to getting their money back. Cradle
was once president of the Edmonton
Stone company, and six months ago the
company moved to Philadelphia. 1t Is
now stated that Cradle was president Of
the Interstate Land and Canal company,
and that he is still president OF the
Union Hill Milling company, in which
Ex-Governor Pattison and Benjamin
Tracey are said to be interested. Cradle
could not be found.
John S. Silver is connected with the
New York Carbon company, the head
quarters of which are at Newark, N. j.
Silver's name has been before the pub
lie many times in recent years. He
was alleged to be responsible for the
failure of the American Loan and Trust
company by making loans to Messrs.
Belden and McTighe, who had the con-
tract for the construction of the Deca-
tur, Chesapeake and New Orleans rail
road.
He denied the statements made
against him at that time however.
Silver also gained certain notoriety
in connection with the failure of the
Washington National bank ON March
%, 1891 The retirement of Henry
Bucl1hout from the vicce presidency of
the Third National bank, several years
ago, was directly due to his relations
with Silver.
