It Is Shown That Germans Bring the Most Money Into the Country
 and the Italian Least.

If one were 10 gauge the worth of newly arrived immigrants by the amount of money they bring with them, those who come from Germany would take first rank. England would hold second place and Italy the last.
 The average German who comes 10 this country brings $52.96 with him. When the average Englishman comes he brings $1.40 less, or $51.50. The next wealthiest average immigrant is the Frenchman, who comes with $4723 in hIs pocket. The Belgian is fourth in the list with $45.6O.
 The Italian. who is the poorest of all. brings 50 9S. but il is safe to say that he returns 10 his native land he wealth jest of all who go back if his propensity for saving is a thing to judge by.
 The Turk who comes 10 America brings $35 5G with him. and stands we'll toward the top of the list. The average lrishman comes over. 10 stay, with ca pital of $l5.26. while the Russian, ac- cording 10 the annual report of the commissioner general of immigration, brings $12.1O.

THE TRANs-ANDINE RAILROAD
It Is Not Yet Completed. Though shown Without Break on
 Some German Mnps.

Some recent works of reference speak of the trans-South American railroad from Buenos Ayres to Valparaiso as though it were now in full operation; and on at least three German maps of 1898. supposed to be authoritative, the road is shown without a break, says the New York Sun.
 The fact is. however, that this i'm portant addition to the railroad facili- ties of South America is not yet com pleted and is not likely to be for some years to come. According 10 MT. F. A. Fitz Gerald. the explorer of Mount Aconcagua, the road has been advanced on the Chilian side of the Andes up to the mountains and some way into them on the Argentine side, but in March last there were still A miles of the most difficult part of the road to build and further progress will necessarily be very slow.
 At that time the road had been com pleted up to Punta de las Nacas, in the mountains on the Argentine side, and to Salto del SoldaGo or the Chilian side. The part yet to be built includes a tun- mel under the Cumbre pass. the summit of which is 2,795 feet above the sea. The road through the mountains is 1-3 foot gauge, with rack and pinion for the sleeper grades. Even greater diff culties are involved than had to be over come in building the lines into the Peruvian mountains.

Miller a soldier of far more experience and ability than any SPaniard they ever encountered. He is a regular army man. West Pointer of the class of '5S, and has served'a pretty fair appren- ticeship in fighting with men in his own America. where he had several interesting jousts with Indians. He should feel more or less at home with the Malays. who are a kind of first cousins to the noble red man of the plains. Gen. Miller distinguished himself in the civil war. He was brevetted captain, major and lieutenant colonel for his services at Malvern Hill. in the Winchester campaign, and in the battle Of Dim widdie Court House. For his skillful and courageous conduct in the Indian wars of Idaho and California he was given brevet of colonel. Ever since he lett the military academy, 40 years ago. Gen.

WALES LOSES A FRIEND.
By the Recent Death of Christopher
 Sykes, Who Was Noted for His Dinners. ss

Christopher Sykes. the bosom friend of the prince of Wales and all the royal family, died the other evening in Ches- terfeld street, Mayfair, says the Lon don Mail.
 Last August Mir. Sykes had par alytic stroke, from which he had recov- cred; but the other morning he was seized by fit, and, never recoverin 2 consciousness, passed away peacefully.
 Christopher" as his friends loved to call him, was the younger son of Sir Tatton Sykes, the fourth baronet, and a brother of Sir Tatton, whose eccentrici- ties and matrimonial troubles are we'll known. He was big, loosely man, a typical Yorkshireman ill length of bone, hard-headedness and grim hu- nor. He was formerly conservative member for the Buckrose division of Yorkshire. and was the owner of Brant- nghamthorpe, in the same county.
 Mir. Sykes was noted bon viveur, and is said 10 be the original of the Mir. Brancepeth" of Disraeli's novel "Lo~ thair,' the grave young man who only did one thing we'll, which was the giv- ing of dinners.
 The prince and princess of Wales were most fond of Christopher Sykes, and will feel his death keenly. But he was well known throughout society, and wherever he went he was exceed ingly popular. He was in his sixty eighth year.
