RACE PROBLEM EVERYWHERE
On the Ship, Going Over, There Was
a Clash?Newberry Boy On a
Tramp in the Old World.
(By W. B. Soabrook.)
Cherbourg, Franco.-?"The racc
problem now national," was a favorite
editorial subject for American
newspapers a few months ago, following
the riots at Springfield; the
same problem became international
in a modest but tempestuous manner,
in the third class, or steerage dining
room, on board the American line
stoamer "Philadelphia," on September
1st, as I ho vessel was beginning
her voyage from Now York to Choi"
bou rg.
Most of , the steerage passengers
were Italian laborers, carrying with
them, iu addition to their baggage
and dirt, a lorriblc odor of garlic. and
fried fish; there wore 1*00 or more
greasy Assyrians, while the English,
Irish. French, flormans and Americans
numbered a total of only fifteen.
and tor these latter few (he
steward arranged a special table.
\\ hen the first meal was served,
fourteen seals were occupied, and one
vacant.
If was to bo filled by an "Englishman.
said the steward.
hilo the waiter was ladling boiled
cabbage and potatoes from a copper
kettle, the "Englishman'' appeared.
lie was decidedly the best
dressed man in the slcerage, and wore
conspicuously at his side a leather
case much as tourisls use for carrying
field glasses, lie was excessively

adventurers who wore bound for Central
Africa in search of rubber and
ivory, arose noisily from their seats.
"^011 know we don't give a damn
ourselves." said one of thorn, "but
we've go|. a friend here from Georgia.
''
"1 call I his a bloomiu' houtrago."
muttered the "Englishman," but he
wen| to another table.
I ravelers in the first-class cabins
frequently write or remark upon the
facilif\ with which people, become acquainted
on an ocean liner, and the
exceptional opportunities such a voyage
affords for character study. In
the third class, human nature is laid
bare io fhe bone. \\.| all fho disclosures

I he rea lii ics of li |V,
At our table was an Englishwoman,
whose reddened, calloused hands indicated
(hat her lol in America had
not been a bed of roses, bill her face
was radiant with happiness and her
lillle daughter of twelve years was
bubbling over with joy and suppressed
excitement. The mot her was communicative,
and on | In* second day
"in I learned her little story. She hall
crossed 11 al the ago of nine,
had married an American, and, in
"I''!'' ot straightened circumstances,
had raised a family of six children.
I lie dream o| her lite was |<> visit,
bHWe she die,I. flu* little village in
( ornwell where she had spent her
childhood days.
For thirty long years she had worked
in a laundry, adding each week a
few pennies to the fund she was saving
to pay her passage. Meanwhile,
it. appeared, she had supported her
husband and children.
"And is your husband an invalid."
T asked.
4'lie's mi more invalid than you
are." replied the woman proudly,
'lies a politician in Zincinat I i. "
At Cherbourg.
According to fho guide books, there
ls b'';|l Cherbourg worthy of note
except the naval post ami modern
fortifications. |,, truth, the thorough
I ares thai face the quays would
"?'t appear out of place ' in any
American seaport? if the chairs and
tables of the cafes were moved indoors?and
the tourist passing from
the docks to the railway station
would probably see lillle to give him
pause.
Put lol him turn into a side street
and follow if fo (he quarter where
the neighborhood peasants market
their wares. Picturesque workingwomen,
sturdy and rosv cheeked,
wearing thor?urious head dross of the
country, hurry to and from. |heir
sabots clacking on the cobble-stones
and their tongues wagging at a prodigious
rate; ludicrous, little rod-leg
. ged soldiers strut everywhere and oc- I
casionally a priest passes, with his 1
i dusty black robe and shovel-hat. i
In a corner of the market place I
rose a strange mound of rugged out- <
line and imposing size. It appeared t
to he builded of weather-beaten and t
i very ancient stones piled one on top i
of the other, without mortar. It
might have been a Druid monument, t
or at least a Norman ruin. But it c
was merely a pile of bread exposed I
for sale, each loaf two feet or more
in diameter, \<!rh a crust nearly an
inch thick. Tt seems to be the uni- J
versal custom among the inn-keepers
to place one of those huge loaves in
(lie center of tlie table where the
guests cat and drink. Kach customer
whips mil his own knife, wraps his
Id I arm around the mountain of
dough, presses it to his breast to obtain
a firmer hold and hacks off
whatever he may desire. This kind
! "f bread forms tlu> staple food for

I
j Wandering Around Cherbourg.
I slmnhlcd on tiie track of a tinv,
iinrrow-guage street railway. Tl.e
cars which presently era* bd into
si-hl. were unbelievably small and
absurd in comparsion with the ordinary
American trolley. Several open
cars were fastened together and atj
ladled to a toy engine, which wheezI'
d and pniTed and looted, and sliol I
ja column of steam into the air fussed |
along at the rate of four miles an j
i hour. I
On the front of the little train. I
just where the sign-boards hang on 1
"sure enough ' trolley cars, were in- I
scribed the words, "f'hocdal Men- I
'1' i*? and immediately underneath, j
I separated only bv a dash, "Xunvadi
lain?s.
N'? other -iirn or inscription was
I visible. Now. I had purchased and
I studied a good map of Cherbourg ard
jils environments, and I didn't recol- "
led any street or station bearing
either of the* above names; but I
wanted in ride on the little choo-choo
j cars, so I stopped (he train and entered
into the following conversation
with the conductor, while the engineer
roled a cigarette and patienl.lv
uwaited developments:
''Where does this train go?''
"'I o the end (if the track, naturally,
Monsieur, if the good God per- h
mils." 1,
Awed into silence by this com pre- {1
hensive answer, and, judging bv the
size of the boiler that the "end of ^
the track'' could not he very far b
away, T joined the eight or ten other t
passengers and for two cents rode a
eighteen miles, but it look a long half t,
day fo make the trip. n

New \ ork, Oct. 27.?This morning
the 'limes, always attempting to dis- c
hearten Democrats and to sow discord,
quoted an alleged Democrat
"very close" to Mr. Bryan, "as be- ^
lieving Tammany is going to knife 1
Brvan.''
ft happened that I was seated next j
to ( harlie Murphy at the Democratic
dub last night, and the man who is e
termed "the silent one" or the
''sphinx talked with surprising
freedom. When told of a report in
circulation that he was going to be
disloyal to Bryan, he asked, "Why
should 1 ? Tammany was loyal to '
Hearst, and if f could be loyal to '
that man, because he was regular, *
when he had pictured me in convict's 5
stripes and said T should be in Sing '
Sing, we will never be disloyal. '
"The party," he said, "has never 1
been so united as it is today?the '
city, State and national committees *
are in harmony and the Republicans <
can not cause friction. All T ask is f
to be (old what the national commit- f
tee wants done and ii is done, if in 1

I could not have got these men to be

( I he power of Tammany was cer- I
lainly mauilcst lasi nigh I when, at (
the order of Murphy, ten miles of <
street were made brilliant with red <
fire and there was a double wall of 1
humanity ten miles long. <
"Discipline is our strength," said i
"Charlie." "and regularity is absolutely
necessary to discipline. You i
can depend on Tammany's being loy- <
al." ,
Mr. Bryan is very confident.
