Madrid. spain, May 80 1sOo.-From
Toledo to the capital is only two hours
ride. by railway, through some Of the
dreariest scenery to be found in spain
The first glimpse of the royal city up
on It's elevated plateau, faced with
noble edihces, is most imposing, as the
train winds slowly toward it along les
ser hillsldes. But II renders disappoint-
ment greater when the goal is reached
for palaces which show off with start
ling effect from afar are found on
closer inspection to be bare and meager
indeed But there are redeeming fea-
lures. The snow-capped Guadarrama
range forms a background Of which
any city might be proud; and the great
parks OF Madrid-just now at their best
IN summer leafage-affoTd refreshing
contrast 10 eyes wearied by me pare
rocks OF Toledo and the dull, brown
landscape between.
Strange-is II not. how differently OBJ
jects appear 10 people from various AN
giles Of vision?" While all foreigners
agree that Spain could hardly have
chosen a less desirable site for her capl-
tai, the Spanlards themselves lavish
upon II extravagant praises. a nun
dred favorite sayings are rife-such as

drid calle el mundo, BESIDE MADRID FL

apartments.
1t is estimated that Mr.. Woodruf's
brief campaign here cost him al least
$1,000.
Senator WOlcoott rented a house Ia
Spruce street for a week and brought
one OF the late John Chamberlln's
cooks from Washington. His reception
room and the headquarters OF his dele
cation az the Stenton were. OF course,
an additional expense.
In the $4,000 expended Jointly by the
national committee and the city COM
mittee was included the cost OF fifteen
thousand pine chairs at twenty-one
cents each, and the salaries of twenty
five hundred attendants
Storekeepers and hotelkeepers today
expressed divergent opinions as to the
amount OF money the convention
brought into Philadelphia
All the hotelkeepers admit that they
made profit above the s.. 900 subscribed
by them TO the citizens fund They
say they did not charge more than the
regular rates. but by putting four or
five persons into a room ordinarily in
tended for two and putting cots every
where they could, each room was made
70 more than double its usual revenue.
Merchants assert the increase OF
trade due 20 an influx Of 10000 visitors
was counter-balanced by the loss OF
business from regular patrons, who
kept away during convention week A
moderate estimate for a convention
crowd expenditure Is 50 a day for each
