MIR. HARRIsON's FEE.
Some Talk of the Possibility of His
Losing 1t.

Some Talk of the Possibility of His
Losing 1t.
There has been some talk Of the posi-
bility of ex-President Harrison losing his
fee Of $3.50 900 in the Venezuelan case should
the revolution in Venezuela result in the
overthrow of the government by which he
was employed. The success Of the revolu-
ton is not an impossibility, and in some of
these small republics the private obligations
Of the defunct government are not always
regarded.
With reference to the apprehension that
has been expressed on this score, State De-
partment officials express the opinion that
there is not likely to be any difficulty about
Mr.. Harrison collecting whatever fee has
been promised him from any government
that may be in power in Venezuela. They
say that any element in power would prob
ably regard this q debt Of honor and
that the fact alone that Mr.. Harrison was
formerly the chief executive for the United
States which secured for Venezuela the
recognition of her rights would be sufficient
to insure him fair treatment under all cir
cumstances. There would be no doubt of
the obligation of a new government to pay
this debt of the old should the revolution
succeed; yet, should the obligation be repu-
dated. it would be departure from Gus
tom for the United States government to
attempt to compel its payment by force In
cases OF torts committed Uncle Sam might
even go to war to compel settlement of
damages, but no extreme measures are re-
garded as warranted in the collection of
mere debts under private contracts There
fore, should ex-President Harrison by any
possibility have trouble about collecting his
fee this government could not compel it's
payment, except by the power of persua-
sion. 1t is not believed. though. that the
big fee Is in danger.

FOURTEENTH STREET ROAD.
Plans for Widening the Thorough
fare Coming to the Front.

AnMb AoE WAuenlHY the THOROUGH.
fare Coming to the Front.
The prospect that 14th street extended
can soon be w1dened beyond Whitney ave-
nue. is fact Of interest to more than mere
ly the property holders and residents OF
that immediate vicinity. North of Whitney
avenue this thoroughfare is still practically
a country highway which was established
in the early days Of the city when its mar
rowness as well as the steep grades did not
effect the comparatively slight traffic of
those days. Now, however, that the popu-
lation Of the city has grown to its present
dimensions and that the population in the
country beyond has also increased the need
Of better facilities Of communication is a
pressing one.
The situation has been recognized for
some time and it has been realized that
not only was more space needed for the
traffic, but provision should be made for
the extension of the street railroad beyond
it's present terminus. The latter, as the
history Of the growth of the road shows,
has always been a movable point, and it is
now believed the time has come for fur
Their advance towards the north.
1t Is within the recollection Of those who
are by no means in the category of the old
est Inhabitants when this road stopped at
the foot of the hill at Florida avenue. and
also 1t can be recalled when the farthest
northern point was still farther down in the
city. 1t Is understood that the company is
ready to build the extension as soon as the
roadway can be used for such purpose
and the necessary legislation obtained
In addition to the increased facilities for
the tide of travel over this road which such
an improvement will afford, it Is believed
it will open up to settlement a good deal of
land which is now unavailable for such a
purpose and allow the population which
has reached this point to press on in the
northward progress.

The suggestion is being made that If by

with all the fixtures and good will Of Nc
kinley.- No such possibility is in con-
| temptation by the friends of Mckinley.
One of the men with whom Mckinley Is
frank as he Is with any one in the world
says that the President has told him that
he would be glad to be relieved of the bur-
den of the presidency at the end Of his
term. yet. this confidant adds, the friends
OF Mckinley will not yield the nomination
to any one else. under any circumstances
without a determined fight. If. he says a
situation should develop between now and
next spring which would lead a consdera-
bic cement in the republican party to be-
lleVe that 1t would be safer to nominate
a new man. it will mean simply that there

A reference to the statement be-

sworn to Is a bona-fide one.
1t Is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
Users. by sending out thousands Of
papers to newsstands which are re-
turnable, and which are, in fact, re-
turned, but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
judge by results, and bogus circula-
tons don't give them.
The family circulation of The Star
