New York, Sept. 2O.-A special to the

Until a report is made on the matter by
Commander Hamphill of the Detroit,
showing the need of another ship, the state
department will not ask the navy depart
ment to order the Nashville to Venezue-
Ian waters. 1t is said by naval officials
that the Detroit will surely arrive at La
Guayra the first of the week.
The dispatch announcing that the insur'
reetionary forces had reached Maracay
has. for the first time, caused admlnlstra
ton officials to doubt the ability OF the
Venezuelan government to suppress the
instruction. Maracay is near Valencia
and on the road connecting that city with
Caracas. The capital has no detenses and
it is thought that Castro is moving to-
ward that point with a view OF investing
and proclaiming the revolutionary party
the government.

Il find at Anvil and along the beach
between 5000 and $500 people. Fully $500
people will be compelled to leave there be-
fore the close of navigation, owing to the
lack OF fuel and shelter. From all | can
learn there will be but three steamers here
to return before the season closes. Unless
the people can get away there will be
great suffering and probably loss of life
which it will be impossible to ameiorate
As rule all have plenty of money to
pay their passage. | therefore suggest
that the transportation companies be
warned of the condition of affairs and the
treasury department be asked to order cut
tcls to remain there as late as possible to
meet any emergency.
The Cape Nome district is one of the
richest ever discovered in our country
and will rival the Klondike. Beach wash
ing is God send to the destitute and
stranded here. There are from six hun
dred to one thousand people along the
beach and they are taking out from $40
to $3.50 per day per man with rockers.

at Baler six months ago, has reached
Washington in letters to military officials

He is quoted as saying that the captives
could not stand such hardships and such

open the safe of the Exchange bank at
Frankfort, a small village so miles east

carried away nearly $1,000 in currency.
Nightwatchman Knipple was bindfolded,

of death. Having secured the money the

THE NEW ISSUE.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
AS an independent journal Harper's
Weekly welcomes the discussion Of eX-
pansion, for it will make far and away
the most interesting and instructive presi-
dental campaign that this generation
has seen. For the first time in recent
years we shall have a subject really wor-
thy of a presidential campaign.
o
During the lifetime of all men now liv-
ing our attention has been fixed not on
American nationality in its largest sense,
but on American nationality only as dis
tinguished from division at home. SlaV-
cry, secession, reconstruction, the proper
adjustments of tariffs and the problem of
the currency-these home duties have en-
gagged us all our lives long. Important
as they were. important as the currency
problem yet is, they have kept us from
n proper appreciation of what has been
going on in the larger world, and our
politics had become provincial and dull.
Our consciousness of nationality, of q
great mission in the development of civ
iliZation, had become narrowed to the
thought only of keeping our own terri
tory intact. To unity il forever, to SOL
idify our national sentiment, to come to a
realization of ourselves. 1t was necessary
to look outward; and the outside respon-
most by accident have happily brought
an occasion for us to look outside our
selves.
The discussion, then, will take in our
relations to other nations; 1t will bring
home TO us the necessity of a wide
reaching and modern foreign policy; II
will give us an appreciation of the great
forces that are changing the world. And
all this comes just when commerce is en-
tering its romantic era, and when adven-
lures of trade are more thrilling than
adventures of knighthood once were
when the game of honest diplomatists
and enterprising merchants must be
played on the map of the whole world,
and no longer along the coastine of a
single ocean. For many centuries the
Mediterranean limited the enterprises
and bounded the thought of men; then
the Mediterranean broadened into the At
our own time, our enterprises and our
thought were limited by this one ocean.
Now the opening of the Pacific meas
ures the next step that we must take
and forever hold as a means of extending
our vision and our influence.
o
The unlmaginative and the tlmid, who
take an academic and not an evolution
airy view of our institutions, will do the
best service that this class of minds can
ever do in stimulating. by the expression
of their doubts and fears, the imagina.
tion and the moral energy of the whole
people.

which shall free the anthracite in
dustry, in this region at least from the
unfair exactions which have hitherto
been practiced by the old transporta-

elsewhere announced of the Delaware
Valley and Kingston Railroad COM
pany which in conjunction with the
Erie and wyoming Valley company
and a line to be built from Lacka-

and Hudson canal to Ulster county,
New York, will provide Independent
rail facilities from mines to tidewater
Tie active presence and participa-
ton on the board of directors of this
new company of Mr.. L. L. Fuller of
this city insures such a representation
Of Scranton interests as will make the
railroad not simply Of moment to local
mining circles but also of prospective
value to local commercial influences,
inasmuch as the road will tap fertile
and populous territory likely, with
proper effort, to prove largely contribu-
tory 10 Scranton's business develop
ment. On the lines indicated, this new
railway enterprise seems assured, from
the beginning, of a profitable patron
age including local as well as through
freights, with passenger traffic in pros
pect. Its success would not cripple
other railroads, since the territory
drained is to large degree exclusive.

that 1t has been we'll done in every

money order system as an example

last spring there was hardly any
knowledge among the people of a
money order system. Under Spanish
rule the postal authorities had occa-
sionally transmitted money subject to
charges ranging from 6 to 10 per cent f.
and likewise subject to the greatest
uncertainty as to the money reaching
it's destination. but this crude ar
rangement applied only to a half dozen
principal towns and was used chiefly
by those who had pull with the Span
