attitude of opposition to the sentiment of
the convention from which he found it
difficult to retire without loss of prestige.
With Platt gone home and the New York
delegation making great display of the
candidacy of Woodruff, Roosevelt was
turned loose on the prairie for any one to
brand who could rope him. The conven-
tion smiled behind its hand, while Hanna
did the roping.
This soothed Mr. Hanna's feelings, and
everybody went to the convention happy
this morning. Other candidates went
through the form of withdrawing.
Before the sun sets upon this last day of
the convention it will be whispered into
every willing ear that Roosevelt was
Hannas original choice. but that he felt
it desirable to let it seem otherwise SO as
not to appear to be debating to the con-
venton. After awhile this will become
heartily over the way Hanna fooled
Platt and Quay.
As matter of fact neither Hanna nor
PIatt nor Quay has had it to decide that
Roosevelt should be the candidate. This
was decided by a sentiment which even
Roosevelt was poWerless :. to resist, and
which Hanna could not overcome by re-
sisting.
A senator said to me today: with all
the advantages which the republican party
has. through the great prosperity of the
country during this administration, the two
things which the party imperatively needs
are money and enthusiasm. The money can
be had somehow. Irrespective of the nomi-
nation. The enthusiasm has been lacking.
Roosevelt can supply the enthusiasm. With

rather than policy. but in following that
sentiment the best political ends are

WATERS UNIONS,
Agencies in New York City Where the
Unemployed May Find Situations

Unemployed May Find Situations.
W. E. Curtis in the Chicago Record.
There are probably 10000 walters in New
York city alone. and 25 or 80 per cent of
them belong to seven different unions which
formerly affiliated with the knights of
Labor. These do not include a number of
benevolent societies The strongest wait
ers' union is the magnolia ASSOCIATE on
which is composed almost exclusively of
Irish walters and those of American birth
employed In downtown restaurants. The
next strongest are two German unions
which have several hundred members each
But none of the organizations are based
upon the ordinary idea Of the labor union
Ihey are more like substitute for inteIli-
sence and employment offices, and have
their headquarters at certain saloons and
restaurants, where unemployed members
can register their names and hotel and res
taurant managers can always find plenty
OF cooks and walters ready for service at a
moments notice. Most Of these agencies
are to be found in the cross street near
Broadway between Union and Madison
squares.
The Geneva Society is an organization of
high-class buffers, cooks and walters which
numbers several hundred and has it's own
club house. Nearly all the members Of this
club are Swiss and come from the German,
French and Italian provinces adjoining
Switzerland. The best walters in New
York are from the canton of Ticino, on the
the Delmonico family came and which has
furnished the best hotel keepers and cooks
in the world. An experienced hotel man
ager will employ waiter from Ticino
without recommendations, because those
from that province are famous for their
honesty, efficiency and politeness.
The T1cino walters never strike. They
know their business and never attempt to
dictate to their employers. If they do not
like place they leave it. and always be-
ing able to find employment are very In
dependent In their notions. They did not
join in the "whiskers strike" which took
place here last winter, when the Irish and
American walters and some Of the Ger
mans attempted to assert their independ-
ence by wearing boards in violation Of the
rules Of hotels and restaurants where they
were employed So firmly did they believe
that whiskers are the emblem of free and
enlightened manhood that several hundred
men resigned well-paying positions for the
privilege Of wearing them. The "whiskers
strike did not affect the flrst-class clubs

GEOGRAPHY IN CHINA.
A Chinamnn's Idea of Where the
United States Is.
From Harper's Weekly

From Harper's Weekly
One night when the local officials of the
small village where we were stopping called
according to custom to greet US and ar
range fer future progress, one Of them a
dear old gentleman, who had a laugh that
would have made his fortune on the stage
in any capital of Europe, inquired what Land
/ came from, If 1t was far from China, and
then whether I came by land or sea, each
question being punctuated by delicious
laugh. To tell him, who considered 100
miles long journey, that had come over
10000 miles, was to give the impression of
a gross exaggeration, as he had no idea OF
the size of the earth or where America was,
as the question whether 1t was north or
south of China indicated. One of his COM
panions finding that his friend was quite
at sea, finally summoned up courage and
rebuked the quesuoner by pointing out that
America was in the western and China in
the eastern hemisphere. After other inqui-
res, the first man frightened up and said:
"Oh, know now where your land Is; it is
between France and Germany" whereupon
the second. who had been carefully watch
ing our faces and so perceived that the
other was wrong again. repeated his hemis-
phere remark with a most superciliouS and
superior air. and as he ventured nothing
more there was little doubt that that COM
prised his whole knowledge of the world s
geography, although there was considerable
doubt that he really knew what hemis-
phere was: and yet these two men held i'm
portant government positions, and one of
them has been since promoted and Is on
the high road to still greater places of
trust. and to such men the people must
look and rely on for their guidance. But
this state of affairs must not be confound-
ed with being uneducated according to our
standards. From a Chinese point of view
they We're very highly educated, and had
spent amount of time acquiring their An

teal value. II was the teachings of the

Everything Smells of Decay.
We are in spacious courtyard. There
are some signs of past magnifcence, but
just now everything smells of decay. There
are more of these curious gates on the east
and the west sides. There is a wide stone
causeway leading north to the Great Pink
Gate. 1t looks like all the other gates we
have seen and are to see except for the
color that gives 1t Its name. Ages ago this
gate was painted with red lacquer. The
changing climates of ages have left their
impress and the red is changed to a dirty
light red that resembles pink OF course
the gate could have been reprinted at
spring cleaning time, but the Chinese do
not like to improve upon the heritages of
antiquity. The Chinese name for this fam

General Review of Situation.

General Review of Situation.
A general view Of these congressional dis
tricts in Greater New York makes 1t APP
pear that on the east side Of the East
river the republicans will probably capture
the entire six congressional districts. If
predictions regarding the large vote for
BRYAN on the southern end Of Manhattan
Island holds good, despite the falling off in
registration, the democrats will probably
elect Muller, Dreamer, Goldfogle, Cum
mines. Sulzer and Mcclellan. Further north
in the upper end OF the borough they are
almost sure to lose Belmont, Hill and Rup-
pert. This would make the Greater New
York delegation stand nine republicans and
six democrats. a republican gain of nine.
In the sixteenth congressional district the
democrats nominated banker named G.
A. Pugsley, gold democrat. The repub-
licans have nominated M. P. Otis. OF the
election of Otis there Is little doubt.
In the seventeenth congressional district
the republicans nominated Arthur g. Tomp-
kins Of Nyack. The democrats named
popular man, John P. Blauvelt, but Tomp-
kins viii undoubtedly be returned by .
large majority.
In the eighteenth congressional district.

I'm has been named. This district is 20

ent time no nomination has been made
against Gen. Ketchum, and the time for

In the last session Of Congress from UP

in the persons Of Martin H. Glynn Ct AL
bany and William H. Ryan Of Buffalo.
Glynn has been renominated in his district.
the twentieth, and Ryan has been renomi-
mated in his district, the thirty-second,
district Of the city Of Buffalo. George N.
Southwick is the republican nominee in op-
position to Glynn, and Roland B. Mahony
is running against Ryan. OF the election OF
Southwick and Mahony there seems to be
little doubt.
In all of the other districts Of the STATE
the republicans are certain of an election.
General Summing Up.
A summing up Of the entire delegation
from New York state shows, therefore. that
the republicans are quite sure of gaining
nine members of Congress from Greater
New York, and three members of Cong
from the country districts, making a total
] gain OF twelve In. the state. This would
