 We arrived there at o'clock in the afternoon. and we were immediately driven to the principal English hotel, fronting directly on the bay. The bay of Naples is just six times as big as I fancied it to be and so gorgeous in coloring I can't express it in any other way than by saying it looks fairly loud"
 The two ends of the city curve out like crescent. At the left lies Vesu- vius, at the right Capre hills, crown ed with vines and olives and water so blue it is dazzling-that is Italy. Streets crowded with dirt and raga- mullins. houses leaning over with age, harboring families of naked children and goats within their dark entrances that is Italy too. And the odors- begging your pardon! An! An!
 Before we saw the bay we held our handkerchiefs to our noses and crouched against the cushions of the cab in speeches. consternation.
 Finally the Person with me spoke. La bella Napoli!" he muttered bit terly. "a bum-a Napoli it should be.
 But when We sat on the balcony of our hotel we forgot everything but the wonderful beauty of what lay before our eyes.

Farmers are Not Worrying over Fiur-
 rfes on Wall street.


 Chicago, March 30.--A dispatch to The Tribunte from Washington says:
 The prosperity of the United States can not be destroyed by Wall Street flurries, in the judgment of Secretary of Agriculture wilson. It has been as- serted by financiers who have come to Washington and consulted with the President that only good crops during the coming season would save the country from serious business and financial depression. There will be such crops, according to Mir. Wilson.
 ''No longer can there be anything like the universal crop failure," said the Secretary yesterday. There is no reason to anticipate anything un- usual one way or other this year.
 Our people now understand more about the growing of crops, how to pre- pare the soil, how to SOW the seed, and how to cultivate plants and harvest grain.
 "The flurrIes that are occurring in Wall Street are not affecting the farm CT population at all. Many of the farmers do not know anything about them and if they do, they think there is simply a manipulation of stocks with which they are not concerned. You cannot get the farmer to touch any thing of that kind now, because he does not know what the consequences may be. A sad reflection on our rail- road stocks at this time is the fact that Northwestern farmers who have made and still are making money, know so little about railroad securities and have so little confidence in them that they won't touch them Instead they are sending hundreds of millions of dollars across the border into Canada to buy land, which they know won't run away"
 The Secretary deprecated the failure of the railroads to furnish transporta- tion for crops. pointing out that many bins were full of grain as a result of the lack of transportation. Tn conse- quence money that would have been paid for these crops is not in circula- ton.
