sufhcient TO accommodate 1900 YES
sells.
The wars Holland waged with
France. Spain and England cost her
deeply. particularly with the last
named power. Her commerce steadi-
ly declined during the fighting until
the overthrow of the great Napoleon,
when it began to revive and since then
has made rapid strides in which Am
sterdam has been the largest gamer.
Manufacturing has also been a lead
ing factor in A~msterdam's prosper
ity. as proven by its extraordinary in
crease Of population, she having added
$50 900 in 80 years and has now 525,-
900 in h%abitants.
The palace. over $50 years old. faces
the big square where the street car
has its starting point. 1t is a large
structure. without any particular pre-
tense to classical architecture. and yet
the townsfolk think it one of the great
piles of the world. The interior is
disappointing to the tourist. having
nothing out of the commo to recon-
mend it.
Dam is the most familiar word in
Amsterdam. 1t is not used in a
swearing sense. but to locate the big
embankment in the center Of the city.
All of the cars run to the dam. and
hence it is uppermost in the minds of
the public.
Amsterdam Is constructed upon piles
and cellars are not plentiful. In the
poorer quarters families live in them.
but they are damp and unhealthy. The
Jews live in one section and. as they
number $4,000. it is a considerable
part of the whole. The area is about
one mile square and the houses are
of brick and four stories high. They
sell about everything, but secondhand
shops are most in evidence. This
quarter is the most crowded in Am
sterdam and the Hebraic countenance
Is sharply brought out in the motley
groups that blockade the roadway and
sidewalk Of this division of the city.

IN AMSTERDAM CITY,
SOME OF THE ATTRACTIONS OF
AN OLD DUTCH TOWN.
Tho Canal and Its share In the DsveI-
oPment of "A Metropolis-The Island
of Marken and Its Quaint People
Brock and Its Chinese Making.


Amsterdam is suggestive of Venice
for the part it plays in islands. canals
and bridges. There is much difference,
however, between the two. The
Queen of the Adriatic relies solely
upon the the %gondola. for horses and
street cars are never utilized, while
the Holland metropolis glories in
everything pertaining to modern
means of transport. She has her
canals bordered with trees. which give
a rustic appearance while they fur
nish grateful shelter from the rays of
the summer sun and alongside are
roadways-white, clean and smooth
which divide with the water the bust
ness OF the city. The architecture of
Venice is older. more quaint. more
beautiful. than hat of Amsterdam.
Blu the former lacks the greenery and
animation of the latter, which go so
much to make for unique and pictur-
esQue beauty. In the streets where the
wealthy dwell this is brought out
strongly, but these avenues. 22O feet
wide, are lined with trees with the
canal in the center.
A good part of Amsterdam has been
reclaimed from the sea. Its begin
ing was the castle of the lords of Am
stel. who fiourished nine centuries

New York, Oct. 25.-The Evening
World, following up the reports that
Cornelius l.. Alvord, the ~abscounding
teller of the First National bank. was
hiding in his Mount Vernon home,
says: "Developmentsthis morning in

nelius l.. Alvord. the Astounding note
teller of the First National bank, are

make restitution. Negotiations are
now or with the bank officials in their
behalf hat will lead. it is said, to the
restitution within a few days of almost
half the mount stolen. Alvord's ar

In the meanwhile the man. who is

to be somewhere in the vicinity, is un

This, with his real estate holdings, sew

GROWERS VIEWS
DON DlCkikSON'S ANTI.BRYaN
VIEW REPRESENTS
HIM.
The Ex-President to Speak-NearIy
All of the Old.Line Democrats
Stand Firm-Those Who Have
Leaned to Bryan Wish to Save
Their Faces"

Walter Wellman, under date O
Washington, October 23. sends the fol
lowing telegram to the Chicago Times
Herald:
Stronger than ever ppears to be the
tide against Bryan and Organism. Don
NJ. -Dickinson's letter. published this
morning, is generally hailed in the east
as one of the strongest and most eff,
~fective contributions to this campaign,
1t is not only a powerful and incis,
i've statement of the case against Bry.
an. but it has a deep significance which
cannot easily be overrated. Mr.. Dick,
%inson's declaration means that the old
Cleveland democracy. east and west.
cannot stomach this demagoging pop,
ulist from Nebraska and is not going
to try.
No II should be surprised if Mr..
Cleveland himself speaks again and
yet more pointeily before election.
Sentiments of Mr.. Cleveland.
That Mr.. Dickinson actually voices
the sentiments of Mr.. Cleveland is the
belief of all who remember the close
friendship which exists between the
two men and who know of the man
ner in which they keep in touch.
Four years ago Mr.. Dickinson was a
power for Mckinley in Michigan.
With his marvellous energy he mar
shaled the sound money democratic
hosts in his state, and it is not too
much to say that the handsome repub-
lican victory there that year was
largely attributed to his efforts.
Before Mr.. Dickinson took that step
he satisfied himself of the attitude of
his friend and former chief, and with
out much question he has this year
done the same thing before conserving
to speak openly against Bryan. Ex-
President Cleveland may be heard
from in a few days.
Want to Save Their Faces"
Mr.. Dickinson. always superbly
courageous, along with such men as
Carlisle. Hewitt. Bragg. Sickle and
many more, represents one class of
democrats.
Mr.. Olney. MIR. German and Judson
Harmon represent another. The lat
ter are not eager for Bryan's success.
but they want to save their faces"
They wish to be "regular'.now in or
der to make easier their political path
way in the years to come when Bryan
has been eliminated and the old de.
mocracy restored to its time-honored
moorings.
The attitude of some of these old
line democrats is rather amusing. I
hear hat Mr.. Olney and Mr.. Carlisle
met not long ago and discussed the po-
litical situation.
Well said Carlisle. III too many Of
us gold democrats come out for Bryan
he might be elected"
oh" replied Olney, that would not
do. We don't want him to win. you
know-we only want to support him. "

Yokohama, April 25.-One of the
great confiagrations to which Japanese
cities are peculiarly subject occurred
at Tukin, large town on the western
coast, on the night Of the 18th inst,
Originating in the suburbs, high wind
carried burning brands to several parts
Of the city, at once rendering the fire
brigade practically powerless. Not UNI
til the flames had been raging for six
hours were they gotten under control,
after the destruction of 1000 houses
including thirty temples and all the
principal structures. The loss of life
was unusually great, sixteen persons
perishing in the flames and nearly a
hundred being more or less injured.
Property loss is estimated at 5,000,000
yen, or about $2,500,00O. or the build
ings destroyed not more than one in
twenty was insured. Much complaint
Is being made of the inflammable
character of the oil of the EchigO wells.
to the use of which the origin Of the
fire Is attributed.
