[ MANY AMERICANS LIVE ABROAD.
1 : ;
f' -
More Than 100,000 at All Times Re.
siding In European CIties.
Year by year the number of Americans -
cans residing In the chief European
cltles has been Increasing. Two 'ears
[ ago an estlmato of the number of
Americans living In London was made
and the number was shown to bo
15,000 , with 12,000 in Paris.
There are according to the last estimates -
mates 25,000 Americans residing In' '
London permanently , 30,000 In Paris ,
5,000 each in Rome and BerlIn , 2,500
in Munich , 1,500 in Florence and 1,000
-
In Venice.
There are at all times between 100-
000 and 150,000 Americans resident In
European cities , apart from the num. .
bel' of Americans who malw a summer -
mer trip to Europe and come under
the designation of either transients or
travelers. Most European countries
do not include In the census of Inhab.
Itants talen unnaturalI7 ed foreigners ,
and for that reason the figures of the
number of Americans are not alwa's
easr to get. Ten pel' cent of the popui i
1atlon of Paris , exclusive of transients , I
Is made UIJ of forelgners-250OOO foreigners -
eigners constantlr In Paris , of whom
30,000 are Americans.

or bad Is not now to be detormlned , :

NAVAL LOSSES DURING PEACE.

The modern navies of this country ,
Great Britain and Japan are a1ll,0 at
least. In one respect-that the accld.

moro In men and ships than the In.
cldents of war. The loss with nearl '
300 mon or Admiral Togo's fiagshlp.
the powerful battle.shlp 1\lIsl\l\sa \ , that
bol'o the brunt of the fighting I the
late war , Is one of the most appalIlng
calamltlos that has overtaken any
navy In time of peace , In destruction
of life It ranIs with the loss of the
BrHlsh turret ship Captain In the
Bay of Dlscay In the early da 's of the
Ironcladi and the slnldng of the Vlc.
torla by the Camperdown n few years
ago. The United States navy has In
its annals of peace the blowing up of
the Maine and the loss of two ships of
Admiral Franl\lln's squadron In the
Samoan hurrlcano of the late ' 80's ,
Each of the disasters enumerated cost
the nation concerned more lives than
any naval battle It has engaged In
