EfCTROPE LONDON, England, May 17. Special correspondence.) I have come across the great Atlantic ferry to tell sou what the Yankees are doing: In Europe. The subject Is attracting more attention here than at home. The Ger mans call It "The Great American Peril" and it is said, that pnraso originated -with the Emperor himself. The English have dubbed it the "Yankee Invasion," and the London papers are publishing long series of articles upon it. The subject is so lm 5ortant that it has a place in the discus sions of the Parliaments of the various countries, and both capitalists and work lngmen are thoroughly alarmed. Even the monarchs are worried. It was to win the affection of our Yankee, trades men that the Kaiser sent his brother to j America, and -whenever one of the Ameri can Princes of our big trusts comes over j here the nobility bow down to him as the ! Idolatrous Israelites did to the golden calf. I Pierpont Morgan Is as -well known here aa fce is at home, and Mr. Schwab, during his recent visit to England and the Continent hobnobbed with, Kings, and. Edward of England, the most particular of them all In matters of etiquette, gave him aa audi ence in a. vain endeavor to leara "how" America, does it." But -what is all tha iuss about? It is labout 52,000,000 a day. Only a little mat ter of JS3.0Q0 an hour, a bagatelle of J140Q a. minute. This la round numbers is about -what our trade balance "with. Europe has been and not far from what it is now. la these letters I will not give exact figures. If you want them you can get them of the statistical bureau of the Treasury Depart iment at Washington, -where Mr. O. P. Aus in will be glad to oblige you. In round numbers, then, our trade balance witn 'Etfirope Is $600,000,000 or about $2,000,000 for every "working day from. January to De cember, Inclusive. That Is, we are cell ing these people- that much more than we Ifcuy. The gold is flowing la a great yellow river across the Atlantic, and it bids fair to be the biggest gulf stream known to commerce. Do you "wonder that the peo Iple are frightened? I don't. 1 A. Toar of Investigation. Before I begfn. to describe the situation ilNvant to give & ehort outline of my pro posed tour. I am at this writing in Lon don. I shall remain here for soma weeks, after which I shall visit some of the in dustrial centers of the United Kingdom and then go to the Continent. jn England I -want to show, you the gneatest markets of the world and how our American goods are flowing into them, to look into the enormous electrical pos sibilities above and below ground and .anions other things describe the famous Tuppenny Tub Electric line, which is equipped with electrical machinery and which cost about $3,000,000 a mile. I shall describe the place that America has la these London markets and by pen pictures of this greatest city of the "world show where and how our position may become greater still. Outside the English metropolis I shall visit the great industrial centers to tell 2iow some of our raw materials are turned Into the manufactures -which have made John Bun so wealths'. I want to picture the new American factories now being built on Elngllsh soil, and to compare the labor of this country with ours. I may get to the coal mines which are so- deep chat John Bull will from now on have to rely largely on the supplies of 'Uncle 6am to keep him warm and his -factories working'. Leaving England I shall visit our biggest customers on the Continent. I want to spend a while in Russia. At St. Peters burg I shall give a letter on the young Czar and tell of the vast Internal im provements he is making on the greatest empire of the globe. I shall visit Moscow i and other great manufacturing centers rand show how It is from the Russians that we hanre much to fear in our trade I competition of the future. Russia is the pfarm population in the whole world and rche extent to which, we are selling it farm (machinery will be interesting. Germany will be next visited. This coun try is the giant of modern times. It is one U)f the "best manufacturers and the shrewd jest 'trader of all the European countries i&nd it Is doing more in comparison with I what God has given it than any other. The Berlin of 1902, the technical schools, bow Germany is capturing the oceans, iSthe mighty ports, the American hog and how it goes into eausage for German stom achs and American trade on he Rhine will be among the subjects of my inves tigation. From Germany I will go to Holland and (Belglirm, and. then to France. Each of these countries will be treated along the same and other lines, the only aim being to get news matter interesting to Ameri cans. On. an American Cruiser. Icamc to England on an American cruls cn England and Germany have the bulk tf the s,hlprlng of the Atlantic, so much so that It Is estimated that we pay Eng land alone about $75,000,000 a year for car rying -our freight, although we are begin ning to acquire lines of our own. It was onlv last year that Pierpont Morgan and his associates bousht the Leyland lino for between $8,000,000 and $3,000,000, and the International Navigation Company, which is Simon-pure American, has a fleet of big steamers which are keeping the At lantic hot between America and Europe. It was on the St. Louis of their line that I crossed. Tho ship is one of 11,629 tons; it is one of the best on the Atlantic and one of the fastest on record, and it was built by an American. It came from Cramps' shipyard in Philadelphia, and like the rest of the boats of its line it is now doing more business than English shltfs of the same class and tonnage. Tfao St. Louis is run on the American plan and in one respect on a plan that has much to do with making Americans successful in their present invaslpn. I mean that the "boat is pushed as far as is consistent with safety. It makes almost one-third more trips a year than English boats of the same class. The English method is to go slow and let the ships Test between times, with the belief that in this way they will last the longer. The American plan is to work them for what they aro worth and as soon as they begin to fall to sell them as freighters or throw them on the scrap heap. Modern Yankee Steamship Methods. Said a leading steamship man to me lately: "The world moves too fast to at tempt to keep up with it with any but the very best and newest machinery. There are new inventions every month, and the ship that doesn't have them will have to take the skim, milk of freight and passengers. It Isbetter to buy new ships and get the cream. This is one trouble with England's shipping over the world today. Take the P. & O., one of their f famous lines to the Orient. A generation ago it had no competitors to speak of; t today the Germans are getting the most of its trade. The Germans have the fastest and the best of the Atlantic steamers, and thev are buildlntr blircer nno ttnA VipftAf nnM nvirv venr The fastest ship now on the ocean Is the Deutschland, of the Hamburg-American Line. It registers 16,000 tons, and its record speed in crossing the Atlantic was Just about 2 nautical miles an hour. It went from Sandy Hook to Ply mouth in flvo days, seven hours and 3S , minutes. The record speed of the St. i Paul, a sister ship of the St Louis, for lis iasiest voyage uverageo. zi mnes ana eight minutes to the hour, an average only surpassed by the Deutschland, the Kronprinz Wllhelm, of the North German Lloyd, and the Lucanla, of the Cunard 1 Line. j A Sample Company of Invaders. j I had as fellow-passengers a fair sam ple of the Americans who are leading our commercial army to lands beyond the seas. Several were capitalists after In vestments la England and the Continent. One was a partner in a great electrical construction company going abroad to get " contracts for the new roads that England t proposes to build, and another was a ' Yankee railway manager, who was going over to show the British electric rallway trust how to operate its undertakings af ter the American fashion. There were I also the representatives of some of the ' biggest agricultural Implement makers ot ' the United States, two men from the Mil- , waukee Harvester Company, going to es tablish agencies in England and Conti nental Europe, and a Paterson, N. J., j man, who Intends to coat Europe Ted with ' his cold water paint. Ho tells me he j sells it already from the Baltic to the ' Mediterranean, and that the openings for j all such things are good. i Eyeglasses and Soli Babies. Then we had Lubln, the Philadelphia optician and motion picture man, who told me that vast quantities of American spec tacles and eyeglasses are now sold In Russia, Germany, France and England, and Collins, another Philadelphlan, an agent for the sale of photographic card board and mounts.

Even In Ger many, the great toy-making country of the world, our Iron and wooden toys are sold in quantities. They are prettier and better than the hand-made German ar ticle and can be sold for half the price. Mr. Levy Is going ovei to buy dolls for the American market. He says 3000 differ ent varieties of dolls are made In Ger many, and that the latest fashions In American dresses are sent to the doll makers in order that our children may have dolls with dresses as up-to-date as their mothers. Another German - American passenger was on his way to open up 'an ofilce for American typewriters In Berlin, while a mining engineer from California was en route for the South African gold fields, and a young Indlanlan was on his way to Southampton and Buenos Ayres to pave the streets of the Argentine capital with Trinidad asphalt. We had also silk men, machinery men and grain men. The list Is too long to be given, and I cannot mention the va riety of freight, for the purser showed me that the different articles ran Into the hundreds. I will only say that we had a big cargo of machinery, flour and fresh meat, and that among the fruits there were 400 boxes and 100 barrels of ripe apples. The Invaders in London. Landing at Southampton, I came directly to London. There was a special train for the passengers waiting at the wharf. The trip took less than two hours, and It was about the middle of the afternoon when I reached my hotel. This gave me a couple of hours before dark for a stroll, during which I noted somo of the evidences of the American Invasion. Suppose you take the walk with me.

FOUR GENERATIONS ON BOTH SIDES LIVING INTERESTING FAMILY WHICH INCLUDES AN UNBROKEN LINE OF SOLDIERS MT MILITARY FERVOR EXTENDS FROM REVOLUTIONARY WAR TO THE PRESENT PHILIPPINE TROUBLE :s: EATTLE, May SO. In this day four generations on either the mafe or female side of the family is not unusual, but it is perhaps rare to find a lamily In which the four generations aro represented in both the male and female tranches, with an unbroken record on the male side, as well, in the military line. Indeed, the military record pf the fam ily runs back five generations. The pres ent head of this interesting group is Col onel W. "W. Robinson, now a fairly ac tive and comparatively liale man of S3, who is passing the evening of his life with his consort, who is somewhat more robust and igorous of mind. Their home, a beautiful place near Fort Law ton, con tains many souvenirs of their extensive travels, including some very rare arti cles presented to Colonel Robinson by the Queen of Madagascar, when he "was acting as United States Consul to that island. Colonel and Mrs. Robinson have ''three children, the oldest, Mrs. Hollen Richard son, and htr two daughters, living with thm. There arc two sons. Major Will lam "W. Robinson, now acting as Chief Quartermaster in Manila, and Herbert P., of this city. A son of Major Robinson, Edward "W., Is First Lieutenant In a regiment now stationed In Manila, and a cable message received a short time ago announced that his wife had given birth to a son, making the four generations on the male side complete. On the female side of the house there is the wife ot Colonel Robinson, aged 2: her daughter, Mrs. Hollen Richardson; Mrs. E. H. Vic tor, the eldest daughter of Mrs. Rlchard sot, and Miss Margery Victor, aged 12, the fi,ldest of sir children In the Victor family. Colonel Robinson was born In Vermont, December 14. 1813. His father was a Lieu tenant In the "War of 1S12. and fought at Sackott's Harbor. Plattsburg and Stone Mill, making the first military hero In the family. Colonel Robinson was educated in Rutland and Castleton Academies, In Vermont, and afterwards In Norwich MP itnry Academy, in the same state. Afttr seeral yeRrs of teaching school and prospecting, he enlisted in the Mexican "War, and was made Lieutenant In Com pany G, Third Ohio Infantry, under Col onel Curtlss, of Pea Ridge fame In the ijI-J jrMHsssHI JsssssBssR 3ii ssHssbbsssPVY yJBsssttsS l ?& HBSSSSSSSsfl0ff4$ p5?K fMBA JWK' .

In 1S52 he went to California across the plains, operating! there In contracting and gold-digging. He afterwards engaged in farming In Minnesota, and founded the Town of Milton. In that state. He was the latter, his son entering the military academy In 1S63. The career of the son has covered a good deal of service on the frontier against the Indians, he being attached to the Third Cavalry.

On his arrival Spring of 1S62, under McClellan, towards Manassas, went through the first cam paign of the Rappahannock, and en gaged In small affairs up to Thornburg and Fredericksburg. He was In the movement to Fredericks Hall Station, and went to Cedar Mountain In time to re treat with Pope and to skirmish at Bev erly Ford. He was In the first terrific action in which Wisconsin troop were engaged, where, at Gainesville, four regi ments of the famous Iron Brigade held their ground against 33 regiments of Con federates. In the Fall of 1S61 he was pro moted from Lieutenant-Colonel to Col onel. In the action at Gainesville his horse was shot from under him. and he received a bullet in the leg. He was sent to the hospital In Washington, but re joined his regiment a few days prior to the battle of Fredericksburg. In January, 1S63, Colonel Robinson helped pull Burn side out of the mud. He wa3 with the Iron Brigade in its various fights and skirmishes until the battle of the Wil derness, when he was in command of the Seventh Wisconsin. He was at Get tysburgj, Laurel Hill and Spotsylvania. For 30 'days at one time he did not re move his clothing, although suffering from many wounds. After the war Colonel Robinson engaged In farming, and In 1S75 was appointed Consul to Madagascar, where he resided for 12 years. When the Madagascar Am bassadors were about to visit the United Col .W."W: "Flobi n5or Major Wm V.Robmson . Lieut- Edward W. Robeson. In Manila a few weeks ago he was made Chief Quartermaster. Major Robinson was also In charge of the work of fitting out the transports here during the Ehll Iplne War. His son, Edward, served In the war with Spain as Captain of vol unteers, and when he returned from Cuba w,as given a Lieutenancy and went to Ma nila with a detachment of the Regular Army. Lieutenant Robinson won his first spurs as a soldier when only 12 years old. In the campaign of 1SS0-L against the Indians near Pine Ridge, L.

The military spirit of this family also cropped out in another grandson of Colonel Robinson, a young man now 21, a son of Herbert Robinson. He was 17 when the war with Spain broke out, and despite the objections of his parents wrote to the Secretary of War, relating the rec ord of his grandfather and uncle, and obtained the privilege of going as a vol unteer. After the Cuban strife he was admitted' to West Point, and recently passed an extremely hard examination, being one of seven of his class to get through. General Richardson. Colonel Robinson's son-in-law, now a practicing lawyer here, States and Europe, In 1ES2. the Queen . y,as thrice breveted for bravery during made a special request of the President the Civil War. that Colonel Robinson be allowed to ac- company them, which he did. He returned to the United States, and for some time afterward lived In Wisconsin. He has been for several years a resident of the Pacific Coast. During his service as a soldier. Colonel The Boundary Line. A well-known Judge on a Virginia cir cuit was recently reminded very forcibly of his approaching baldness by one of his rural acquaintances. "Jedge," drawled Robinson was offered the alternative of a the farmer, "It won't be so very long commission as Brigadier or a scholarship j 'fo you'll hev to tie a -string around yer at West Point for his son, and he chose I head to tell how fer up to wash yer face." going on the trot back and forth between the city and the West End. The 'busses are heavy two-story affairs, with a dozen seats on the roof, as well as a dozen seats within. Their sides, fronts and tops aro plastered with advertisements. See that one going by now! It has a black crow holding up an American liver pill sign on the steps, and one of our best-known typewriters displayed just above. Along the top Is an advertisement of "Ben Hur," by General Lew Wallace, which Is now being played at one of the thea ters, and on the next "bus an announce ment that Charles Frohman will soon pre sent "Arizona." But see the omnibus coming down the Strand! Notice that great yellow board adlslng you to buy Bryant &. May's matches and support home labor. The 'bus behind has a similar sign and there by hangs a tale. For many years Bryant & May's matches were the chief ones In England. Their monopoly was apparently as safe as that of the Standard Oil Com pany, and they expected to continue pay ing dividends out of sulphur until the Judgment day required all of the raw material for other purposes. They thought the same when they were told that the American Diamond Match Company had appeared on the scene and proposed to compete for the trade. They soon changed their minds, however, and this is what happened. The English were using old machinery. The American company had the best and the newest of patents. They established factories and easily undersold their English competitors. They got to the front and kept there. The Bryant & May people sent agent3 all over the world seeking for machinery to withstand the Americans, but it was not to be found. The result was that they hrew their hands and were absorbed by the Diamond Match Company, though their old name was still held. American Shoes and Rubbers. But suppose we start out on our walk. Look now at the stores. They call them shops here, but no matter. Here is one advertising American shoes of the latest and most popular makes. You will find them scattered here and there all oer London. The English can make a good shoe they call shoes boots but there Is no style about It and mighty little com fort. The leather looks as though It wa chopped out with a hatchet and the toes are sharp. Their shoes cost more to make than ours, and the result is we aro selling them more than ?1,000,000 worth of shoes every year. In this store window In which we afe looking is an advertisement of American rubbers In the ordinary shop they call rubbers ''gums," which makes me think of the English girl who was asked If her sister was In, and replied, "No. but she will be 'ere right soon. She Is hout clean ing her gums on the mat." Speaking of American rubbers, there ought to be a good market for them here, if we can edu cate the people to their use. As far as I can see, no rubbers at all are worn, and still it rains here the greater part ot the time and the streets are muddy, not withstanding the excellent cleaning ar rangements. Men and women trot along through the filth, the ladles holding their dresses much higher than Is common In our American towns. We have left the Strand and are walk ing along Piccadilly. This is In the swell parts of London, where the finest shops are. Let us go Into this one, which has all sorts of fancy canned fruits and jellies In the window. The English are noted for their preserves of all kinds, and London makes marmalade and jams which are sold all the world over. Here is one placo where we are sure to find no American goods! But let us ask the shop keeper. He Is a fat beefeater In a white apron, and he smiles as tell him he has a beautiful store. "American goods! Of course I have!" 13 the reDlv to my question. "Here is a fine thing In brandy peaches just In from New York. There are about a dozen peaches In that jar. and we sell It for eight shil lings, or $2. We have all sorts of Amer ican pickles, canned corn and tomatoes and oatmeal. Here Is some tobasco sauce which came from Louisiana. I have one customer who calls It 'liquid 'ell.' and so It Is," concluded the grocer, reflectively. "But wouldn't jou like to walk below and see my wine cellar? I do a great trade in w lnes." t "No, I believe not," say I, "but hao you also American wines?" "No," said the grocer, "but we have plenty of American brandies and cock tails In bottles. The English like your cocktails, and we sell a lot of them." All Sorts of American Goods. Going on with our walk American goods meet us at every turn Here in Regent street they are selling American candy, and there Is a store where you can buy Amerlcan tools and hardware. The chem ist shops which we know as drug stores are full of our novelties for the liver and stomach, and the dry goods stores, which they call "draper shops," contain shirt waists made in Massachusetts and cot tons from the Southern States. The ir vaslon which has been represented in our country as one of heavy articles, such as meat, grains, steel. Iron and heavy machinery, embraces all sorts of little things which are rapidly coming Into com mon use. A good Idea of It was gien not long ago by Mr. Fred McKenzie In one of his able letters on this subject to the London Mall, which has been pub llsned In a little book entitled "The Am erican Invaders." It shows: Hovr the Londoner Leans on -the Yankee. Says Mr. McKenzie: "In the domestic life we have got to this: The average Londoner rises in the morning from his New England sheets, he shaves with American soap and a Yankee safety razor, pulls on his Boston boots ove'r his socks from North Caro lina, fastens his Connecticut braces, slips his Waltham or Waterbury watch In his pocket and sits down to breakfast "There he congratulates his wife on the way her Illinois straight-front corset setu off her Massachusetts blouse, and he tackles his breakfast. He eats bread made from prairie flour (possibly doc tored at the special establishments on the lakes), tinned oysters from Baltimore, and a little Kansas City bacon, while his wife plajs with a slice of Chicago ox-tongue, The children are given Quaker oats. "At the same time he reads his morn ing paper printed by American machines on American paper wun American hik., and possibly edited by a smart Journalist from New York City. "He rushes out, catches the electric tram (New York) to Shepherd's Bush, where he gets In a Yankee .elevator to take him on to the American-fitted elec tric railway to the city. "At his office, of course, everything is American. He sits on a Nebraskan swivel chair, before a Michigan roll-top desk, writes his letters on a Syracure type writer, signing thm with a New York fountain pen and drying them with a blotting sheet from New England. "The letter copies -are put away In files manufactured In Grand Rapids. "At lunch tim"- he hastily swallows some cold roast beef that comes from the mid-west cow, and flavors it with Pitts burg pickles, followed by a few- Delawaio tinned peaches and then soothes his mind with a couple of Virginia cigarettes. "To follow his course all day would be wearisome. But when evening comes he seeks relaxation at the latest American musical comedy, drink a cocktail or some California wine, and finishes up with a couple of 'little liver pills' made in Amer ica."
