The president walked up and down

coded them were divided into groups
round four officers of the navy, who
were answering questions. quoting fig
ures and volunteering details which
were not written. The men at the
head of the nation were preparing to
plunge headlOng into what under less
immediate menace would have seemed
a sea of folly ready to submerge them
and their country.

signal for an abrupt halt in the con-

His long ungainly arms reached out,
and he put his hands upon the smaller
mans shoulders. Those within the
room awoke to a realization of the
magnitude of the power that was pos
sible. and stood in awed silence, spec
tators of tableau. From the broad
sweep of the river without came the
waiiing whistle of belated steamer,
seeking its way through the fog that
had settled down. The measured

STREET CARS IN HOLLAND.

Fhe Conductor Carries More DOcu-
ments than a Congressman.
Countries may be known by their
street cars. The rush and jar of our
big cities are exempliied in the rapid,
rude transit Of its inhabitants. So
the character of orderly little Holland
may be gathered from observation Of
her car service, says ]. N. Higginbot-
ham In Three Weeks in Holland and
Belgium
Street car fare in Holland is three
cents a trip, and for four cents you
receive a return ticket. The conductor
carries more documents than a Con-
gresham. For every fare he opens an
aluminium box about four by six and
hands out a receipt or a return ticket,
as the case may be. r.
When the passengers pay their tick
cts be places the tickets In a leather
pouch hung by a strap round his neck.
1t is important that you retain the re-
ceipt given you, for at uncertain inter-
walls a "controlleur" gets on the car
and examines all receipts, puts his o.
K. on them with a rubber stamp and
compares the result with the manifest
or log carried by the conductor. 1t is
quite the correct thing to tip the con-
ductor with a Dutch cent or two.
Each car has a card inside stating
how many seats there are, and on each
platform is another saying how many
people may stand thereon. When the
seats and both platforms are full the
sign "Yol" is put up and no more are
permitted to get aboard. Our car prob
ably had 80 people in 1t and ON the
platforms and was turning business
away at every crossing.

IN referring to the company's action
said:

rot vet decided OH the location for this
new plant, but 1t will be In the PITTS

I'm addition to this we viii spend
about $1,5O0,O00 in improving the

at McKee's Rocks and make it n OF
the best in the world. The demand FOL
the best steel wheels is growing and we
will be in a position to furnish them
In addition to this we will spend about

until about the middle Of next summer
when business will reach a normal and

In connection with the foregoing thu
