IU rapid rro'vth of Into years us a centre of
manufacturing activity excites astonishment,
It' location, tiil.cn In conjunction with Die Im
portant Mrt of Kohf, within n milium of twen
ty miles. Is superb, l)Oth for rmnmmcrco nml
manufacture. Iho head, nt It were, of the
benut'fu! Iilnn 1 nas. It has ntlltcot nntl cum

IcnO possessions ns far south as lonnosn, but It
Is nisi within ti fow dijs' pnssago of Cnren,
Vladtvoitn.-K, Iho Itusslau port, n:d the
principal lommorc.'nl cltliM of China. With
China oiioy for trade nnd mnnnfacture, Oorca

the civilization of rich Formosa, nnil tho pros
pert of Ilusla completing the (treat transcon
tinental Siberian railroad, with ft terminus on
tlio Fo.i of .lipnn, the vv.inlo Asiatic world,
with Its hundreds of millions of population,
Ilea within ewsy access of thn mighty producing
CImiIc ,ow building up on iho Day of Osaka.
Already U massed around this bay and the
adjoining ellstrlH of Kioto an Industrial popu
latlrnof about H.ToO.OOO. Nor does this repre
sent the reserved strength of Osaka. With
in a radius of a hundred miles we haoa popu
lation of nearly 10.000,000. Across the hay,
distance of alxty miles, Is the Island it Shi
koku, with an additional 3,000,000. In this
circle may bo found nearly all the great cltlos
of Japan, except Toklo and Yokohama. There
ftro Kioto, the ancient capital, with a popula
tion of 050.000; tha well-built, dean, and
modern city of Kobo, by far the most Impor
tant port of Japan, with 170,000 population;
TCngoin, now a thriving manufacturing place of
2C,"i,000 people; Saxal, the seat of the rug and
metal Industry, wt h a population of over 00,
O00; Fukul. the centre of n district producing
o cr half the llkh(i6i((i( manufactured, and six
teen other place, all over 30,000 population,
nnd all bound to form, as the railroad system
extends Importnnt connections with the pop
ulation around the Hay of OsaKo. Here wo
lmve. within two or thrco hours of Otaka by
rail, an Industrious, skilful, thrifty population,
full of Ingenuity and enterprise, and fully Im
bued wlih the spirit of progress and Impressed
with tho future Industrial supremacy of Japan,
at least in the Pacific nnd Asia.
In appearance Osaka presents some striking
contrasts. From tho windows of tho rall-Ivn)-
cars It might bo a Clov eland or eon a
Chicago, for its innumerable tall and iron
chimneys, wh'ch belch forth the blackest kind
of smoke. Tho factories and mills are of red
"brick and built after tho plan of our own, ex
cept that, on acount of earthquakes, they are
noA oer and two stories In height. Tho
Immediately surrounding country is flat for
many miles, affording amplo room for a city
of five million!, before tho picturesque hills
and mountains, which loom up a shadowy
background to this scene of human endeavor,
are reached. While Its mighty factories and
mills, some eraolov lug two and thrco thousand
hands, suggest our own cities, the several
branches of tho rlerand innumerable canals
brine to mind Amsterdam and Venice. Osaka
Is not only surrounded by water, but canals.
Borne of front width, run through the busiest
districts. From tho bay and rter eastward
there are at ltast ten cnnnli. all running into
the central canal, hich extends north and
Bourh through the heart of the citj and forms
the boundary betwtcn the west and east ends.
Tile east district Is again divided by a canal,
Iitl from tho branch of tho river, running
through the northern district of Osaka, and
connected b) two branches with tho other
north and south branches This network of
canals, laden with barges ard boats of every
sort and kind, relieves tho streets of the
tn-niendoiu pressure of transporting the
fabrics of tho mills nnd shops and factories
and the provisions for the millions of people
depending uron the Osaka district for sup
plies. It Is the city of boats and bridges. On
the map before me I have actualU lounted ITS
bridges, not little wooden structures, but well
built substantial bridges of Iron anil stone
nnd timber. I'rojectirg over these canals ere
the thousands of dwellings where the popula
tion live and perform their dcmctic duties.
JHIzh up above these houses, on scaffoldings,
flutters yards upon yards of cotton cloth, blue
nd white and Turkish red, which had len
dipped In the canals after dyeing, and arc now
undergoing the vat Ions drjlng nnd bleiu htng
processes. This gins the scene almost a Turk-

The streets nf Osaka are tho buslut I have
pei seen. They are litnrallv thrnneed with
hnmm tx lugs engaged In unceasing toll. Tin
uteres and shops ure also workshops and v. irt
houscs. Clerks, d signers, nrtl-ans. packers.
carters sellers, and buvers are so mixed up
that the wonder is how they all unravel the.n-Kdvt-n
at d b-iiig order out of the tluins which
etmsto te'gn supreme. In this nsptct vou
ore reminded of the descriptions of those won
derful Hits of the i-nc lent world, whireeverv

om tha San I'ranclnco Sun,
When tho Alaska steamers are gutting toward
Sltknthu) go through a pabsagewii) known as
t lnlanson'n I 'anal, and If the) hanpen to pass a
cerislu point In thn daitimo a most unusual
looking mountain can bo seen, It has be in
named the " Hell-shaped Mountain," and a
inmo appropriate cognomen could not bo found.
This teak, which has always been ono of tlio
sights for tourists, occupies a most unusual
position. It Is illicitly In tho centre of tho
channel, ami when thn steamer Is going north
wardhieius to block flirt lie r progress, loi sev
eral miles befuru tlio mountain Is reached tho
patiBiiguwnv is not any teo wide, and steep
mniihlnlnn tome close to tho water's edge on
bntl; b.iIcs. The) teem to Join the lower portion
of ihei bell.hhuped inounlnln and fo-m an Im
passable barrier across tho roadway.
As tho steamer is heading dlructly for tho
mountain It shows to the best advantage. Ills
lug abrupt!) from themlrror-llke surface of tho
water. It rears Its brad about 1.(100 feet toward
the sky and revials the moet perfect symmetry
In its outline. Tim stiles slope Inward, and on
llioloptheiu Is a little knoll, tho whole combi.
nation fm tiling a perfect bell.
If this mountain Is seen In tho enrly morning
wheu the steamer Is about live miles an ay II
will appear illhuueit.il against tho sky. Tho
edges look cluiii and sharp cut, and it Is hard
to Lelluvo that it Is not thu work of hmunu
bunds. It really looks llko a monster boll placed
In tho channel.
T lie sides of this mountain nro covered with a
thick prn.rth of ol no trees, nnd as tho steamer
draws nearer It luses some of its peculiar ap.
pearance, T ho vessel keeps head on as If to run
It down, but when qullu e lore makes a sharp
turn to port and imses through acliannel su
narrow that II Is possible to throw a stone on
the mountain from tha deck. The mountain Is
much longer than wide, and does not look the
least like a bell ns soon ns the steamer boa
passed an that it can bo seen over tho stern,
navigators in that part of the world consider
It ft great accomplishment to bo able to sail
around this mountain, The wind and tides aro
variable, and many skippers often give up tho

This sudden upronr and alarm In Northern
camps and councils was caused by Morgan, tho
Southern raider, then out on his first wild ridu
ncross tho border. Ills errand seemed to bo
none other than to brln( about the state of panlo
lndlcatesl In the despatches of President Lincoln
and Oen. Hoy le. At the head of a small
mounted column the Intrepid Kentucklnn rode
at will for moro than a woek within the Federal
lines and got awny without being forced Into a
single battle, all through tbo manipulation of
tl.M wl,A l,v A flnvn Kai.fl
When starting on this raid Morgan sum
moned to his side as a scientific atly, George A.
Kllsnorth, nn export operator and n jokor and
daredevil at the same tlmo. as will bo seen from
his full story now printed for tho first tlmo In
tho public press.
"On July 10. 1P02," says Ellsworth, "Oen.
Morgan, with a bodv guard of fifteen men and
myself, arrived at a point near Glasgow. Ken

where I took down the telegraph lino nnd
connected my pocket Instrument for tho pur
pose of taking off all dispatches that
passed through. Loulsvlllo Immediately called
.Mishvllio and I answered for Nashville, re
ceiving business for two hours. It could bo
plainly seen by the tsnnr of the messages that
Morgan was known to bo In the country aim all
orders to send money and other valuables by

ing. I adjusted tho instrument and oxamlncd
the circuit. No other operator on tlio line ap
peared to be on hnnd so enrly. Among the de
spatches of the day previous I found one that
had been sent from the Federal commander nt
Lebanon, who surrendered to Morgan. Col. A.

resd

" Later I intercenteel a despatch from Oen.

hands, stating that a regiment had been ordered
to his assistance. Acting upon that timely
notice Morgan sent nut a company of Tolas
Hangers and destroyed the bridge on the L cbn
