Historical Ground.

c-urrwpcnannoa of tha Ledger.
CoLo9xE-oN-THE-RHnSE, July 8.-.
Leaving beautiful Brusssls with rslue-
lance, NO came to-dEy to this ola
city founded by Agrippina, the mother
Of the infamous Nero. On our way We
passed Alx-la- Chapel the old Ro-
man capital Of the Romans under the
name OF Aachen, where 81 Roman
Kmpsrors were crowned and where
Ohalensgns spent most Of his life and
was buried. We had q hne view OF
this ancient city, and al day we were
passing over famous historic ground.
We Fan through nineteen tunnels and
had the meet scenery ~ We passed
from Belgium into Germany. Ihave
neglected 70 speak OF the fine road
beds In these countries. Both the
railroads and the carriage roads ara
splendid. The railroads are all
double tracks and we have scarcely
q particle Of dust anywhere. In cross
Ing the German line you begin at
once 70 be Impressed with the power
and glory Of the Empire. The
Cathedral Is the chief attraction In
Cologne. II is an immense Gothic
structure, said to be the finest Of its
kind In the world. The foundation
was laid In I24S, but Il was not finish
cd till 1850, when the ceremony Of
its dedication attracted pilgrims from
all parts Of the world. Many 90
called relics r preserved In the
chapels, such as the bones OF the
three Magi, which have been objects
Of alteration since the 18th century.
/ don't take much interest In bones
and didn'tpay my 10 cents to see them
My daughter was mor curious. The
Museum, the Town Hall and the
church Of, st. Ursula are the other OBJ
jects OF interest IN this city. Accord
ing to tradition, st Ursula was
murdered on this spot with her eleven
thousand virgin companions, by
Attla, the Hem. Their alleged bones
form a grewsOme spectacle In the
catacombs of the church. How
utterly helpless . man feels in a
foreign country unable to speak OF
understand the language Of the
country.
Tonight our party Of four took a
street car ride through the city Of
Cologne, and liked never to have
found our way home. We are all ex-
pectation and excitement In view oil
our Rhine trip tomorrow. 1t Il
with reluctance that l take my leave
Of these Belgians and Hollanders
They show all the evidence Of pros
perity and thrift and seem happy In
their primitive modes Of farming
They have had q wonderful expert
ence In the worlds history. No peo'
pie ever suffered as they did in th'
days OF the old Netherlands under thu
prosecutions Of Philip II OF Spain.

World, referring particularly TO the

The democratic platform is like q

The Sun (rep.) says the silver ques-

proceedings at Kansas City snd it is to
be- the supreme issue OF 1900. "It Is
again to be- the Sun declares "a
square fight between gold and silver. :"
The Tribune (rep.) says the platform
adopted is the perfect work of
bossism, as absolute as any ever seen
Ia this country. ''It ia deceit in Tvs
appeal to the people who donot think. !"
says the Tribune. "An analysis OF 1t
as the campaign goes on can hardly fail
to convince ell others of the party's
dangerous and unstable character"
The Times says, "Mr. Bryan as
candidate needs no platform.

FOUR ARRESTS
On The Charge OF implicatio In the.
Romero Murder

Romero murder.
Juan and Antonio A podacs, brothers,
Rafael Lujan, and Basilio Vasquez
charged with being implicated In the
killing of Pablo Romero at Ysieta on
July 4, we're yesterday brought to Ell
Paso by Deputy Sheriff Bryant and
State Ranger Plstt and lodged in the
county jail.
Their examining trial will be held
before Justice Kerber at Ysleta
on Wednesday. The evidence against
these four men is purely circumstsn-
tial. They claim absolute innocence.
These men are said to have known
that Mr.. Romero was q miser, and
always kept his money about him. 1t
is q conceded fact that he had on his
person, at the time of his murder, q
leathern belt filed with money. The
murderers, whoever they we're, in their
haste to despoil him of the bulk of his
money, overlooked thirteen dollars in
change, that he had in his psntaloons
pocket.
ALI evidence goes to show that it was
a cold blooded and cruel murder, for
money, as he had no known enemies in
Ysleta or else where.
