The Three Americas.

The journey of the delegates to the
Pan-American Congress makes it
pertinent to remind our readers that
Central and South America embrace
an area q little greater than twice
the extent of country in the United
States and territories, and n popu.
lation of about sc, 900, 900 or about
one-sixtl smaller than tho pcpula-
ton of the republic, says tho Clcve-
land Plain Dealer.
Mexico covers an area just about
equal to that part of the United
States east OF the Mississippi, and
has 10000, 900 inhabitants.
The five Central American republics
of Costa RIGA, Guatemala, Honduras,
Nicaragua and Salvador coverancx-
tent OF country about the size of the
five states OF New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois,
and has Il population equal to both
New York and Indiana.
Brazil's area is somewhat greater
than that of the United States en-
elusive of Alaska, and her popula-
ton is about that ofNcw York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio.
The Argentine Republic. with about
half the area of the United States,
has population not quite MS large
as Pennsylvania.
Colombia is nearly equal in extent
to New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wis
consin, with popnlationprobablya
little less than that of New York
state.
Bolivia's territory is somewhat
greater than that of the Atlantic
States, Pennsylvania. Ohioand Mich
igan, and her population is about
lndiana's figure.
Peru is a little larger than the At
lantlc States and Pennsylvania.
and her population is about that of
Illinois.
Venezuela is larger than Peru by
about as much territory as is en-
braced in New Jersey, an her popu-
lation is about equal to Indiana's.
Ecuador could contain Ohio, New
York, Pennsylvania, Michigan and
Illinois, but her population is not
quite up to that OF Michigan alone.
Chili's domain cut up would make
states us extensive as Ohio, Pcnnsyl-
vania and Indiana; her populations
somewhat greater than that OF lndi-
ana.
Paraguay is big enough to include
Ohio and New York within her bor-
ders, but her entire population
scarcely exceeds that of Cleveland. q
Uruguay is not quite as large as
Ohio and Indiana combined, and has
just about the same number of i'll
habitants as Brooklyn, N. Y.
The Guianas are English French
and Dutch colonies. British Guiana,
twice as large as Ohio, hasiustabout
the population ofClcvelaud. French
Guiana, somewhat larger than Ohio,
has about as many inhabitants as
Toledo. Dutch Guiana, nearly as
large as Pennsylvania, has not more
Inhabitants than Columbus,

shs wants ! Yfisss.

When G. p. Huntington, with his
wife and son, returned from the
theater to their apartments In
Browns hotel, London, the other
night, saysa New York World cable,
he found Prince Francis Hatxteldt
sitting by the fire with Miss Hunt
ington, who had declined to join
the theater party on the plea Of
illness. The welcome must have
been a cordial one, for the prince
called again next morning and took
his fiance out for y ride. In the
afternoon he went shopping with
Huntington pere.
Prince Hatzfeldt did not put up ut
Browns hotel himself. but went to
Lmmer's, not far away. 80 That he
could call often. Since his arrival in
London he and Miss Huntington
have spent much time riding, walk
ing or shopping together, and have
been just rs devoted as at Aix-les-
Bains. The prince has chosen as
mentor his intimate friend, Capt.
Somler, OF the British army, who ad.
vises him who to see, who not tosee,
what to say, and particularly what
not to say. The captain meets all
newspaper men who call on the
prince.
From an intimate friend of the
Hatzfeldt family the correspondent
learns that the only bar to the
marriage now is not so much the
question of settling the princes
debts as it is OF paying the exorbi-
tant demands of the usurers who
lent the prince money when he was
hard up. After obtaining his nc
ceptaDce OF the top rate Of interest
ut the time when the loans were con-
tractcd, these money-lenders now
insist OH having their full pound of
flesh. Out of oil Prince Hatzfeldt's
creditors there are only half a dozen
who are willing to compromise for
the amount of the original debt
and moderate interest. The others
have got the prince in tight place
and are going to squeeze him.
The only hitch in the wedding
arrangements now is in dealing with
these usurers. On this point both
the princes parents and Hunting
ton are obdurate.

them that he had the promise of

An Extensive Compromise.

Captain kotzabric is a veteran
of the United States navy. He serv-
ed during the war and made a rec
ord for himself. He used to live
in Chicago. Now he lives in Ohio,
near Columbus. The other day
he passed through on his way from
the q. A. r. reunion Mt Milwaukee,
and he told Il story. 1t was a story
about n Chicago old settler named
Bush. Away back in 1851 Bush
quarreled with n muscular and iras-
chile neighbor, and the latter
whipped him. AS Bush was un-
able to take the law in his own
hands, he brought a civil suit for
damages against his muscular
neighbor. This neighbor did not
relish the prospect Of II suit, and
he finally compromised the mat
ter by deciding lot to Bush. The
suitwas dropped, Bush still owns
the lot. He has refused an offer
Of 100000 for it. 1t is located on
Washington street, and is increas-
ing in value all the time. He was
licked in 1881, but he hns his re-
venge in this title deed. 1t might
have cost his muscular ncighbor
500 to contest the suit. 1t has
