 rope as an instrument with which tc conture the lively devil known as Anglophobia. There is no more chance to get away from his all pervasiveness there than there is in England. He came to Burton-on-Trent in a special train on Friday night, and stepping out of a carriage of plate glass lighted like a lamp, stood before us on the platform.
 He wore an overcoat with heavy lap els of Persian lambs fur, such as an actor might be expected to sport-a brilliant new silk hat and trousers elo- quent of the care and pride of their owner. His smooth shaven face was waxen white and like carving in marble; so much so that when he smiled it was as if mask had Wrink- led a little about the mouth.
 He merely flashed through the crowd and was gone.
 An hour later he was addressing a meeting in Bass's branding shed, where four thousand persons had a chance to study him for quite six minutes.
 I knew the type well-that of the most extraordinary product of this cen tury. It has been through a new world type produced where nature Is magnifi- cent and vast, with prairies that give play to enormous action, mountains which stop all but the mightiest will rivers and cascades which the ignorant savages worshipped, but the new mas ters among men have passed over up- on giant webbings of steel, have been humbled and harnessed that they may transform their force into motive and lightning power.
 That is the Chamberlain type, called in the new world by such names as Commodore Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, Thomas A. Scott, James Hill, Sir Will liam c. Van Horn and Cecil Rhodes. Nearly all who are of this type work indoors at desks dotted all over with electric buttons, that summon the many hands and heads which their vast af- fairs require to carry out the mere sug- gestive flashes of their single minds.
 As MT Chamberlain rose and began speaking it was, for a moment, as if I

"Gentlemen, I have had the Rocky Mountains searched, and have found a pass where the worst gradient is only one in a hundred, and we shall haul trains with single light engine, as against the four one hundred ton en- zines now used by our competitors. have arranged to put our own steamers of full Atlantic tonnage upon the great lakes and to pay for them out of their own savings at the rate of two a year. We shall lay out, for our Pacific termi- nus, port which must rival liverpool in the course of twenty years, and which, at an expenditure of $5,0OO, 900, should return us its cost annually after the first few years for the next two de- cades."
 Cool to coldness so palid that women that he was i'll, straight as an arrow, without single gray hair, slender as 8 professional runner, dressed as only can be dressed a man Of routine whose pulse is Hollandish, who lets others do the work, the walk Ing, and the worrying; he might be thought to have walked out of cold storage room.
 The shed was like Turkish bath, and it's heat worked upon his surface ce in time, after which his smile was more easily executed and his cheek rembled now and then where the light string of his eyeglasses touched it. For Ie wore the inevitable glass, and with l sense of effect as perfect as if he had been Japanese or a terra cotta coiored ,rchide to balance it.
 Note that the audience was noisy hat it had been said that there was a blot to break up the meeting.
 The master-the Brain in mans at- no more impatience or annoyance than found expression in the dow raising of one hand with a gest- Ire half of insistence, half of warning. The disturbance grew, and there came rom him the not of one who will not ,rook Interruption It was uttered as deliberately and slowly, with the same oolness as all else that he said.
