tai, ST. PETERSBURG, naming
it after himself. 1t is now by far
the MOST IMPORTANT CITY
IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE.
Its population was I,267,o23 in
1897, when the last census was
taken, notwithstanding that for
nearly half the year it is practical
ly closed to oversee commerce.
Russia has, like the United States,
vast area of territory and sew
eral important seaports, and hence
we get practical illustration of
the benefits of the location of the
capital. ST. PETERSBURG IS
DOUBLE THE SIZE OF THE
OLD CAPITAL. Here a peril
nent question may be asked.
Which is the greater nation, the
United States or Russia? If Rus
sia's capital has grown to over a
million in two hundred years since
it was founded, why should not
the capital city of the United
States, the richest nation on
earth, keep pace with that of
Russia? If it does, Washington
must have a million population
within the lifetime of some of the
residents.
Leaving Russia before the Japs
get us we will take a glance at
Greece, whose capital, Athens,
was once the center of cultured
Europe. Athens was the foun-
tain from which flowed all the
streams Of learning, science and
art, which have enriched the earth.
The population of ATHENS was
at the last census III,486, while
CORINTH, its PORT, is MUCH
SMALLER.

BOTH BARcELoNA AND
CADIZ, ITS PRINCIPAL
SEAPORTS, in population,
wealth and political prestige.
Madrid had at the last census a
population of 40, 283. (Applause
from Porto Rico.)
If we turn to the neighboring
country, Portugal, we find the
same holds good, for Oporto, its
principal seaport town, does not
vie with its capital, Lisbon, on
the Tagus river, in wealth, popu-
lation or influence. Passing
through the Straits of the mighty
Gibraltar, with the intelligence
and industry of Europe on the
one side and the ignorance and
superstition of Africa on the 9TH
er, we come to that land of poesy
and song, Italy, whose CAPI-
TAI, ROME, at one time domi-
mated the world. Built upon low,
marshy ground, on the banks of
the river Tiber, inaccessible from
the sea for any but the shallow
est draught vessels, it rose in
power and wealth until it
DWARFED EVERY OTHER
CITY IN THE THEN
KNOWN WORLD. Rome at
the zenith of her power had, it is
estimated, population of 1,5oo,-
600 inhabitants. So identified
was the capital with the power
and prestige of the Roman Empire
that the fall of the latter may be
dated from the time when the
imperial City echoed to the tread
OF the hosts of the barbarian in
vader, and Italy. to use Talley-
rand's words, became for years "a
geographical expression. Once
more we have a united Italy, but
it is only since 1870 that Rome has
again become the capital, and is
rapidly gaining in both wealth
and population, while Florence,
the former capital, since its aban-
donment as the seat of govern
ment, is losing ground. Passing
into the Adriatic Sea we land at
TRIESTE, Austria's LEADING
SEAPORT; still VIENNA, on

with the Wien, far EXCEEDS

AND POPULATION, the last

of two millions and a quarter, has
tor its capital Belgrade, situated
at the confluence of the Save and
Danube. This is the largest and
most important city in the prin-
cipality, and one of the strongest
inland towns in Europe. 1t is the
chief entrepot of commerce be-
tween Austria and Turkey, and
has been the object of fierce con-
tentions between its neighbors in
times past. Its principal port is
Mllanovatz, much smaller. Cross
ing the so-called beautiful blue
Danube, but which is here a dirty,
muddy river, we find ourselves in
Roumania, whose soldiers proved
so helpful to the Russians at
critical period of their last war
with Turkey. Bucharest, its capt.
tai, situated on the river Dombo-
vita, thirty miles from the Dan
ube, has population of 232,ooo.
while Galatz, the principal port,
has only $500 inhabitants.
Now let us vary the journey
and &c north to Sweden and Nor
way. Here there are two capitals
with one king until recently.
Christiania, the capital, is the
largest city, although Bergen is
superior as seaport town. The
same holds good for Sweden;
Stockholm, the capital, being far
ahead of Gothenburg, the prin-
cipal seaport. Sandwiched in be-
tween these two countries and
Germany is the proud little king
dom of Denmark, the blood of
whose rulers courses through the
veins of nearly all the royalty of
Europe. COPENHAGEN is its
CAPITAL, with a POPULA-
TON of 3I2,85o, and its princi-
pal SEAPORT AARHUUS, has
only POPULATION Of 80, 1903.
Sailing easterly on the Baltic
we come to the mighty nation of
Russia. Its FORMER CAPT.
TAI, MOSCOW, was at one time
the MOST POWERFUL CITY
IN ALL RUSSIA, although an
inland town. Peter the Great,
with his wonderful spirit of prog
ress, and with a view of making
Moscow less powerful in the poll
tics of the empire Moscow occu-
pied at that time much the same
position as Paris does towards
France, being the center of all the
political intrigues of the day.,

able site could not have been Sc
lected. The Spree at this point is
only about 200 feet wide, with a
sluggish current. The country is
fiat, with a sandy soil, and in
summer it is intensely hot, while
high winds envelop the citizens
in clouds of dust, and in winter it
is bitterly cold. The city, not
withstanding these natural dis
advantages, continues steadily to
increase in wealth, influence and
population, SIMPLY AND
SOLELY BECAUSE 1T IS
THE CAPITAL OF THE
CONFEDERATED STATES
OF THE GERMAN EMPIRE.
CHEERS from Milwaukee, En-
tering the enterprising little king
dom of Belgium, which, from the
frequent decisive battles that
have taken place upon its soil,
has not inaptly been termed the
Cockpit of Europe" we find
Antwerp, beautifully situated as
a seaport, with only 232,723 in
habitants, while Brussels, situ-
ated on the Senne River, a mere
creek at that place compared to
the Potomac, has population of
55I,oII, or nearly twice as many
people as Antwerp.
Adjoining this little nation on
the north, we come to country
they say the Almighty forgot to
make, and left it for the Dutch
men to create-Holland. Am
sterdam, the former capital, not
withstanding the difficulty of its
access to the sea, which has since
been remedied by the cutting of
canal, was by far the most pop
ulous city in that land of dykes.
Since 1903, however, the seat of
government has been The Hague,
then little more than a fishing viii
lage, but which has now over
Ioo,325 inhabitants and is rapidly
increasing in both wealth and
material prosperity, and bids fair
to become one of the most beauti-
full and populous cities of Hol-
land, solely on ACCOUNT OF
ITS BEING THE CAPITAL.
("Hurrah for the Dutch" shouts
Knickerbocker.)
Leaving Holland, we will go to
that once leading Empire Of the
Latin race, where bullfghting
and surrendering territory to the
United States seem to be its prin-
cipal business-Spain. Here we
find MADRID, THE CAPITAL

MAC, and is sixty miles from the
sea, and is NOT a MANUFAC-
TURING CITY, but SIMPLY
THE CAPITAL OF GREAT
BRITAIN. That's so, and it is
the biggest city in the world"
shouts John Bull. Now, after a
rough passage across the English
Channel we will land both at
Havre and Rouen in order to
make comparison. Havre,
which disputes with its rival,
Marseilles, which has a popula-
ton OF A. 3o, the honor of be-
ing the principal seaport town of
France, had at the last census less
than II9,47o inhabitants
Rouen, situated further up the
Seine and nearer to Paris, had at
the last census II3,2I0, while the
capital had 2,536,834 people living
within its environs. Now the
RIVER SEINE at Paris is NOT
AS LARGE AS THE EAST
ERN BRANCH Of the Potomac
and yet PARIS, its capital, HAS
A POPULATION MORE
THAN TWENTY TINES as
large as the SEAPORT HAVRE
and five times that OF Marseilles,
the principal port on the Mediter-
ranean. Thus we see that the
capital cities of the mercurial
Frenchmen, and of the CONNER
cial Englishman, are the largest
and most important towns of
their respective countries, al
though the language, habits and
general temperament of the peo-
pie are entirely different. Let us
cross the border into Germany.
Here among the hardy, hale and
thrifty people, who have a Ian
guage and individuality of their
own, and whose sons have done
so much to build up America, we

The student of history will find
upon careful investigation that
the growth and material prosper
ity OF the capital of Germany is
not dependent upon the advan-
tages of locality. It is located on
the River Spree, some distance
from the sea. A more unfavor-

ments.
William Penn is a great hnan-
cier, and has been recognized as
such ever since he bought the
whole state of Pennsylvania for a
few blankets; therefore it is no
wonder he is making large and
safe investments in Washington
with the United States Realty
Company by paying a small
amount monthly.
Now to the question, as Wash
ington, the Capital of the Coun-
try, to keep pace with the growth
OF the Nation?'
We are told that Washington
can never be as large as New
York City, because our port is not
as good as that of the latter, but
by precedent and logical deduc-
tons this idea is a most erroneous
one, as l shall presently show. l
maintain that there is no question
but that Washington will, in
time, be the largest city on the
American Continent, if not in the
world. (Cheers.) Joseph Cook

"The Gelsha,"

The Geisha" as presented at the Jeff ferson theatre last night by the Willard Opera company seemed to have lost none of its primal charm. The opera was as dainty tuneful and entertaining as ever and the audience was delighted. There Is certain prettiness and oriental atmos- phere about the piece that appeals to the senses, while the comedy Is ingenious and the music excellent. There are attractive scenes refrashing bits of comedy and old world touches here and there that ac- count for the great popularity achieved by 'The Geisha' when first presented to the public.
 Miss Willard Is a prma donna who has a voice of unusual timbre and sweetness her song numbers were enjoyed. Her rendition of "The Jewel of Asia" afforded rare pleasure. Miss Mi,lard's grace of posture and her singing were both excep- tional in this number.
 The company supporting Miss Willard was, as usually the case in all musical organizations which come south. charac- terized by weak spots, but as a whole it was satisfactory and several of the prin- cipals were quite clever.
