THE RAILROADS.

Passenger rates are lower on the rail-
roads OF the United States than those
OF any other country In the world. The
average is about PA cents per mile. as
against 2.20 in England. 2.25 In Belgium.
2.99 In Germany, 3.05 In Austria, and
1886 In France. II the American rate
had been In 1897 per cent more q
mile than It was (Which would be less
than the average rate in France), the
extra cost 10 the people and :he cor
responding profit to the railroads Of the
United States would have been slS0, oO0,-
900.
The difference between the United
Staets and foreign rates is far greater
than that In passenger rates. While
OUT native roads haul ton for 0.97
cent, Germany charges 1.S2 cents. Bel
g!um 1.39, Austria l.b6, France 1.59. and
England 1856 Mr.. Turk says that II
the average OF American freight rates
were as high as It Is In Belgium the
people OF this country would have paid
to the railroads In 1897 about S2Ss;O0o. 900
more than they did II the rates had
been as high as they are IN England.
we should have paid the roads about
$3.50. 000. 600 more than we did.
II the American railway rates. both
passenger and freight, were about the
average OF Europena rates. the earn
Ings OF the railwaysot the United States
and the corresponding payments of
the people-in 1897 would have been

EXTENSIVE CHANGES


Olpau 10 UC DFOupnL ABOUT.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Exten-
sive changes in the relations between
the United States and Japan will be
brought about on July II next, when the
new treaty between the two nations
goes into effect. 1t was negotiated
some years ago, but Its actual operation
was deferred so as to give time for ad-
justirg affairs to the changed cond!-
tons. Similar treaties have been made
by Japan with most Of the other first
class powers. Their essential feature
rs to give Japan a status as modern
nation, instead OF imposing the restrlc-
tions she was under. along with China
and other eastern nations. before her
advance to modern methods. The en-
tire extra territorial system Is swept
away by the new treaties. This gives
to foreign powers. including the United
States, a right to try civil and Grimm
Z al cases relating to their own citizens
in consular courts instead of In the
Japanese courts. Hereafter those for
eign courts will be abolished and Ia
panese courts will try all cases alike.
2 Another feature Is In opening up the
entire interior OF Japan to the capital
and enterprise Of foreign merchants.
At present the restrictions on aliens
are very severe. except at Yokohama
and few large places. the interior be.
! Ing practically in the exclusive occu-
'pancy OF the natives. Now, however,
foreign settlement and trade Is invited
and the richness Of the Interior prom
Uses large commercial returns. The
rates of duty between the two countries
will not be much changed, as this
branch of the new relations already has
gone into operation.

British and American consuls have Is

ment interfered with the loyalists.
The German consul refused to Join
with the British and American repre-
!sentatlves and Issued a proclamation
npholdlns the provisional government,
and denying that there had been any
Interference by the Malletoa party. He
added to this document an extraordI-

that the provisional government would
be able to encounter the danger caused
anew to the peace Of the country and
the safety OF the inhabitants by the En-
glish and American proclamation"
This has put more heart into the
rebels and therefore numbers OF armed

A friendly feeling Is shown by officers

that the result will be the presentation
OF an ulttmatum. 1t Is generally
thought that fighting is likely to occur.

VENEZUELAN AFFAIR.
Inc british Boundry Question to be

The British Boundry Question to be
Settled In Paris.
WASHINGTON, March 1G.-Chief
Justice Fuller and Justice Brewer, OF
the supreme court, will leave the United
States for Paris SO as to arrive there
about May % next, at which time the
oral arguments on the British Venezue-
Ian arbitration, will be heard. The
hearing Is expected to cover three
months, after which the court is ex-
pecteo TO devote about three months to
consideration Of the question, giving q
decision probably In November.
En-President Harrison and ex-Secre-
tary OF the Navy Tracy probably will
so to Paris at the same time. as they
are the leading counsel for Venezuela.
Their brief has been presented, and ow-
Ing to Its general interest, copies have
been distributed among senators, rep
resentatlves and public men generally
in Washington. It covers about 500
printed pages. and Is in rather marked
contrast to the brevity OF the British
brief OF Sir Richard Webster, covering
only IS pages. the conclusion OF the
brief Is as follows:
Venezuela. with great respect, but
with great confidence. submits to this
high tribunal the very serious Issues
involved. She does this In the happy
belief that In the short but brilliant his
tory OF arbitration tribunals, this one
Will find conspicuous place, and will
recommend to other nations the use OF
this great agency OF peace. Venezuela
has no direct representation on this tri-
bunal and by this fact It Is more nearly
assimilated to the great courts of JUS
tice from which the idea of representa-
ton Is wholly absent. No other inter-
national tribunal has presented this
feature. They have been too much the
conferences OF representatives than
the consultations of judges. to whom
the parties are quite different. The
one tends to unsatisfactory compromise
the other to DEGREES that establish
rights. In the very constitution there
fore. of this tribunal. We have the
strongest appeal to the seIlse OF Impair
tial Justice and the surest ground OF
hope that the Judgment may confirm
the faith of those who believe that It Is
possible to bring the nations to a bar
that Will treat them with the same I'M
partially that Is shown 10 Individual
llt!gants. When that confidence Is
fully established, the era OF universal
peace will be near"
1t Is signed by Benjamin Harrison.
