Mr. Bryan Meets Stevenson Washington, July 10.—Itichard Gtienther, consul general at Frankfort, has transmitted to the ttate department an interesting letter regarding a proposed (Jnited States-Swiss alliance. According to the press of Switzerland, says Mr. Guenther, the protective tariffs of European countries exclude Swiss products, and the industries of Switzerland find support only in free trade Eugland. A tariff union between (treat Britain and her colonies, lie says, is regarded with apprehension, as it is believed it would prove Switzerland's industrial ruin.

A fire was built, and he quickly recovered himself and was driven to his hotel, where be will reot until Saturday, when he will return to Chicago. They discussed .the advisability of withdrawal on the part of one of the candidates, and Mr. Towne practically surrendered. "In spite of dark sides, which also are found there, the United States is full of the air of freedom. Switzerland would lose ..nothing if she should become a state of the United States of America. It is a well known fact that the several states of the American Union are much more independent than the several cantons of Switzerland, and our country by such an alliance would sacrifice none of her liberties. AH she would have to do would be to send her representatives to Washington. Economically and politically site would gain everything. "It remains to be seen what the Americans would say alw»ut an alliance with Switzerland. For a long time they have tried to gain a foothold In Europe.

Seattle, Wish., July 10.—Two steamers, the Charles Nelson and the Centennial, have arrived at Seattle from Nome, and two, the Senator and Aberdeen, have sailed for that destination. The.Nelson brought the latest uews from Nome, having left there June 26. She brought three passengers, E. L. Fielder, Dr. A. H. Smith and a man named Ward. Fielder, who is a resident, of Terre Haute, Ind., says he came down to purchase machinery and supplies. The Centennial reports that the barge Skookum made the trip in good shai»e. The Centennial had nine passengers. The Centennial's passengers report that four or five miles up and down the water front nt Nome it is impossible to mine ou account of luggage being piled up down to the water's edge. Dr. Smith, who returned on the Nelson, was one of the charterers of the bark Northem Light, which went north. At Cape York the crew deserted, and Indians were substituted in their places. The latter got drunk, tried to loot the ship and with difficulty were ejected. The ship was towed to Nome, Where her cargo was disposed of at a handsome profit. PHILADELPHIA GROCERY & PRODUCE CO.
