the greatest travellers on earth. This
honor has been claimed for them be
fore. and for many years they have
been second only 10 the English. but
now they bid fair To Outrank their
Anglo-SaXon cousins as well as the rest
of the world.
Perhaps there is no better index of
foreign travel than is afforded by Paris,
for the reason that almost every person
who tours on the continent visits the
French capital. Inasmuch as the Par
isian police department keeps a record
of the number of travellers stopping Ill
the city, it is possible to gain some re-
liable information from their statistics
In 1885, according to the reports, a.
little more than 10000 Americans Wis
tied Paris, While the number of Eng
lish visitors was 35 900. In 1895 the num-
Der of Americans had increased to A.
600. while of English there were $4,000,
and of Germans 3. 900. During the COM
ing season. estimating the increase OF
Partisan visitors from the probable in
crease in the number of Americans 30
ing abroad. the number recorded by the
Partisan authorities will be more than
90. 900, while the English and Germans
are likely to approach the $4,000 mark
In the amount of money spent and the
distances traversed, divergence be-
tween the Europeans and Americans is
even more striking.
Putting together the total distance
covered by this American army of for
eign occupation, and it cannot be less
than 500 900 miles, or enough for a
round trip excursion to the center Of
our solar system, with side trips to
Mars. Jupiter and all the intervening
planets. II a party of 100 persons set
out to cover the distance traversed in a
single season by the Americans who go
abroad, they would each be compelled
to travel 200 times around the world. a
task which would keep them busy at
the highest speed they could attain for
a matter of fifty years, a lifetime OF
activity.
About 10 per cent of those who go
abroad travel by some one of the nu-
merous system of personally conducted
tours. This method of sightseeing Is
not so much in favor as formerly, for
the cheaper kinds of touring, but Is
coming to be adopted by those. who de-
mand all the luxuries of modern travel
with none of its inconvenience. 1t Is
being generally adopted for trips to
distant places and TO points off the
beaten track of the ordinary tourist,
such as the Orient. Australia, northern
Spain and South America.

M'KINLEY EASY.
President Sam of Haiti Must Be APP
preached With Great Caution.

Crank Leslie's Popular Monthly)
1t is far less easy to get to the presi-
dent of Haiti than to Mr.. Mckinley of
the White House. The pavilionlike
palace in the Champ de Mars, surround
ed by its little park, Enclosed by a tall
iron grating. with lookout boxes at all
angles a large and strong military bar
rack at the rear, and field cannon post
ed here and there, could stand con-
siderable siege, and, with a faithful
garrison, would be proof against al
most any mob attack. There is no end
of etiquette involved in the approach
to Son Excellence. Yet / was favored
with fortunate opportunities for seeing
Mr.. Simon Sam.
Tall and massive, with an immense
paunch. and features and hue that are
typically African, as you gaze at him
in his cumptuous uniform. gorgeous
with gold lace and a brilliant silk scarf,
you cannot help picturing to your
minds eye his hypothetical appearance
as a mid-African chief, with huge
feathers in his topknot. only a rattle
beaded clout about his loins. nail
studded war club in one hand. and
about him a band of dusky savages
more naked than himself, instead of
these strutting gentlemen in tall hats
and European clothes, and these other
prancing gentlemen in gaudy trap
pings. with tinkling spurs and jingling
swords. President Sam, however. is
not. as it appears thus far. man to be
personally feared. His selection was
a compromise. and he is only the fig
urehead of the present oligarchs, pos
ing as a moderate statesman. while in
truth he is only a rather e-brained,
slow witted and lethargic old soldier.
1t is understood that in state affairs
he is almost wholly guided by his min
listers, of whom Brutus st. Victor, in
charge of the foreign department, and
Tancrede Auguste of the department of
the interior, are probably the ablest.

can canned vegetables and American
ice cream supply their tables. But the
men who sail and own the vessels are
for the most part foreigners, and their
earnings go into the pockets of foreign
shareholders.
The cost of first cabin passage by all
the great liners is 800 during the sum-
mer season. Second cabin passage costs
from $40 to $50. About two-thirds of
the Americans going abroad travel first
cabin and one-third second cabin. Ac-
cordingly. if the estimated number of
Americans go abroad this season. they
will pay the steamship companies some
thing like s17.000.0OO. or very nearly the
amount of the Spanish indemnity.

What We Pay Into Foreign Pockets.

The cost of the stay in Europe, or
wherever the tourist may elect to roam.
varies, OF course. according to his
means. tastes and methods. The rule
ordinarily laid down is an average Of
$40 per day for each person, TO cover
all the ordinary expenses of travel. As
the length of the usual stay is from six
weeks to two months. the outlay for
| each person, judged by this standard.
will amount to between $500 and 5000.
OF course there are many who spend
several times this amount and ali
average of $500 for each person is d
very conservative estimate. According
TO this calculation. the amount spent
! by Americans on foreign touring this
summer will not fall short of S100. 000.-
600. or more than is spent by the gov
ernments of the smaller European
countries for all their expenses.
The Great. Item of Tips.
One item in our foreign travel ac-
count that amounts to surprising pro-
portion is the expenditure for tips. The
American abroad realizes that he IS
expected to tip. and, if inexperienced
he is likely 10 overdo the matter, dis
tributing his fees with lavishness
that exciteS the contempt, rather than
the admiration of the recipients.
Five per cent of the amount pur-
chased is the established European tip.
Walters in the restaurant expect that;
more they do not appreciate or under
stand. But even If Americans adhere
to this rule, which most of them do
not, their outlay in tips and fees
amounts to a pretty penny in the course
of a season.
The tipping on shipbOard varies ac
cording to taste or will, but on a land
tour through Europe the fees TO wait
ers. pOrters. guides to public buildings
and a horde of unnecessary officials
need not be large. Twenty five dollars
for each traveller is a meager allowance,
but at this estimate it adds $1,000 900 to
the bill paid by American visitors to
the old countries.
e Another Five Million.
Another item that reaches to about
the same figure is the money expended
for souvenirs. Every American who
goes abroad brings home a number of
little gifts for his or her friends. and
this outlay is seldom less than $25 for
each traveller. The custom of shopping
abroad has fallen off considerably of
late, on account of our rigid customs
inspection and the national pride in our
own products. But every woman who
goes to Paris spends from s25 to $500 for

the perfectly lovely creations OF the

From these figures it Will be seen that

win be spent this summer by Ameri-
cans who are going to foreign coun-
tries. and at least $100.O00. 900 of this
amount will be spent abroad. The COM

Much has been said and written
about the great number of Americans
who go abroad every year, but few
persons not connected with ocean
transportation realize what an i'm

year conveys no adequate impression
of its proportions.
