Some OF the local fans are evincing
great interest In the outcome Of the
Pacific coast league contest. and the
scores are read every evening as soon
as they are received by The Astorian.
A few nights ago a prominent ad-
mirer OF the Seattle team announced
at a late hour that he was willing to
wager Seattle had beaten Oakland.
Because Of the rush Of political mat
ter that was coming over the wires.
the ball scores were delayed. so the
Seattle fan and a number OF others
commenced betting. Two Of the gem
tlemen were particularly anxious to
wager. and finally both had up all the
money they could borrow at that
hour-1:i5 a. m. WELL" said one, Il
guess you're clean now. aren't your
Financially. yes; but I still have my
hat" was the reply. So then and there
hats were wagered. About Is min
utes later the ball scores came along
and II was found that Seattle had won
handily from Oakland. The Seattle
fan therefore got all the money and
proceeded to take from his friend the
hat which had been wagered. The
loser went home hatless, declaring he
would even scores at some future
time.

The Commercial street Improvement
will not be undertaken until after re-
gatta week. Chairman Burns OF the
street committee stated yesterday that
the council would go ahead with the
legislation necessary, but that the con-
tractor would be instructed TO not pros
ceed with the Improvement until after
the carnival has been held. The coun-
ell ls very much opposed TO having
the street torn up during regatta week.
Had the property owners agreed upon
the manner OF Improvement the street
could easily have been repaired before
the carnival. At the adjourned ses-
sion OF the council nothing was said
about the contemplated petition for
the improvement OF Exchange street
east Of Seventeenth. but It Is thought
a petition for the work will be pre-
sented a week from tomorrow night.

Many Are pIssatishsd.

Many Are Dissatisfied.
Many democrats are undeniabIy dis
satisfied. Few were found yesterday
who declared that they would not sup
port the candidate. but scores said
they were not enthusiastic. Others.
representing the local conservative
element. were delighted at the turn
OF affairs. Many Of these conserva-
tiyes stayed at home when Bryan was
the candidate the second time. The
nomination OF Parker put them In po-
sitlon again to vote, and they we're
elated In consequence.
But the number Of satisfied con-
seryatives is woefulIy small as COM
pared with the number OF disturbed
radicals. The latter had vigorously
taken to task the former because OF
their refusal to support Bryan, and
they could not logically say they would
not support Parker; they still remem-
bered their cry OF "treachery." SO
they contented themselves with the
ssa..sment that they were not over
joyed.
There are two elements In the party
that always make themselves heard.
One element is anxious to win, no
matter what the means necessary to
bring about success. The other wants
to win on old-tIme principles and is
sues. Both these elements are large,
and yesterday the luke-warm ones
were telling the enthusiasts that Par
ker was not as good a man as might
have been named.

affair. The invitations have been issued
to the ladies, and 1t will be their privilege
to escort gentleman to the hall, ask him
to dance the first dance with her, take
him down to supper, and "after the
show" go home with him. But perhaps
the most novel part Of the affair Ito the

Aisa's Four-Footed Freight Lines

Aisa's FOur-FOOted Freight Lines.
1t will not be long before railroads
will have pushed well into Asia Minor,
and then the center of Asia will begin
to wake up; but to-day it is still i'm
possible to ship goods into Turke-
stan or Persia or Arabia by any means
other than the caravan, just as goods
were shipped in the days of King Solo,
mon.
If anything, the roads are a little
worse now than they were then, and
a caravan bound from Teheran or Bag
dad to the interior may be months and
even years on the way.
This fact has made it necessary for
many an American merchant to study
queer things about story-book land in
order to know just how his goods
must be packed and shipped out of
America, so that they will be in the
proper condition for loading on camel
and mule back in the desert towns,
whence they start on their strange
voyages.
An American shipper of goods for
export into Far Eastern countries
must know just how much a camel
can carry, and over what kind of a
road it will have to travel: for in
many places the roads are over noun
tain sides that are so narrow that the
size of the package is of the utmost
Importance.
Thus, shippers in the United States
who do business with the Orient. have
had to learn that the merchandise must
be packed in tin or zinc-lined cases,
because it is sure to be subjected to
fierce storms in shelterless trails. They
have had to learn that a camel load
is two packages of $50 pounds each.
Mules, according to the caravan driv-
ers' tables, can carry two packages,
one on each side, each weighing 1853
pounds.
These packages must not be longer
than feet. wider than feet, or deep
er than IA feet. Packages OF this size
can just scrape through some OF the
dizzy denies leading into wild Asia
AS Ispahan about 300 mule and
camel loads OF merchandise are re-
ceived or shipped every month during
the trading season.

juries, as did also the doctor riding on
the ambulance. If ever a man deliber-
ately chose death rather than fail in
his duty, that driver did so, and he is
only a type of the drivers of New York
city. Ninety per cent. of them would
have acted in the same way if they
had been in his place"
To the eLondoner in New York a
markedly noticeable feature of the
traffic of the busiest of all cities is the
genial good humor with which it is
conducted by pedestrians and drivers
alike. This is in decided contrast to
the spirit which prevails in his own
town.
The cockney cabby is famous for his
mastery of sarcastic profanity, but he
is quite the best-tempered person you
are likely to meet with on London's
streets The common remark of the
pedestrian is, 100 the ell are yer
a-shovin' Off"
The driver pursues his way along
sulphurous streak of profanity, which
he directs at the heads of the innum-
cradle people who get in his way. Cen
orally speaking, he is swearing from
morning till night in the regular
course of his business. 1t is vicious
swearing, too-the kind that frequent
ly ends in a fight and a call for the
hospital ambulance.
Even the most genial-tempered Lon
doners seem to catch the infection of
ill-humor in the street. They may be
as patient as Job at home, but they
snarl like jackals over a bone if some
body pushes against them in the crowd
at the railway station. IF London
ers had to crowd together as people do
in New York." said an English Wis
itor not long ago, they would prob
ably begin to massacre one another"
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-02-07

England's metropolis has always
been held up as the city of the most
crowded streets But it cannot begin
to compete with New York. That is
the testimony of everybody who is
familiar with the two places.
The long, narrow island of Manhat-
4an-the smallest area upon which
great city is built--bears a far larger
volume OF traffic than any other area
of equal size in the world. There is
a greater congestion of vehicles in New
York's streets than in the streets of
any other great city.
The far-famed congestion of London
cratic, about which American tourists
have so much to say when they re-
turn to this country, is confined to
about half dozen comparatively short
ehoroughfares, such as Fleet street,
part OF the Strand, and Ludgate Hill.
There is in London no long thorough
fares so constantly packed with traffic
as is Broadway, from Bowling Green
to Herald Square.
The available figures give but poor
idea of the number of vehicles plying
to and fro on New York's streets. Ac-
cording TO the Bureau of Licenses,
22,300 are licensed. They are sub
divided, in round figures, into 10000
public trucks, 1000 dirt carts carrying
ashes and other refuse), LOO express
wagons, 200 peddling wagons, 5000
pushcarts, so of the Anticipated Fifth
avenue stages, 500 junk carts, and
1900 coaches and cabs.
1t is surprising to find that there are
only So hand-organs, operated in al
most every case by Italians. In Lon
don there must be literally thousands,
for one is to be found at almost every
street corner, and certainly in every
slum quarter, where the children dance

merrily to it's strains-the sole pleas
ure, in many cases, of their gray lives.
But the figures of the Bureau of Lii
censes only represent that portion or
New York vehicles which operate for
public hire. Only those vehicles re-
quire licenses. Trolley cars, trades
mems wagons and carts, contractors
stock, private carriages, and vehicles
owned by the Street Cleaning Depart
ment and other city departments-all
these require no licenses.
On a conservative estimate-made by
a man who has for years studied the
traffic conditions obtaining in the
metropolis-they are at least five times
as numerous as the public convey
ances.
This gives a grand total of over 1884,
900 vehicles rolling perpetually over the
streets of Manhattan. 1t is possible
that there are two or three times as
many. If a procession of them were
formed, allowing thirty feet for each
horse and vehicle. it would be 755 miles
long.
one department store in New York
keeps 756 wagons, push carts and other
vehicles to carry goods to its custom
ers, and it is not one of the three or
four largest stores, either
'The largest stores" said the head
of the stables of the store in question,
keep anywhere from 1000 to 1900 We
hicles each. If the stables of all the
department stores of New York were
Jumped together, I believe they would
make a good-sized town, even though
a great economy of space has been eff
fected in recent years by replacing
many thousands of horses with auto
mobiles.
Through the department stores of
New York alone you have a great er
volume of traffic than that of many
towns which consider themselves inn
portant places. And the curious thing
about it is that there is hardly ever an
accident of any description through
