OUR EXPORTS TO VENEZUELA
A Very Noticeable Decline in Them
and Various Reasons Assigned
Therefor.

In 1887 the United States furnished
30 per cent. of the goods imported into
Venezuela, and in 1897 the proportion
from this country was only 26 per cent.
Our trade in Venezuela in 1890 was $4,-
C2S,5S3, while in 1899 it was only 3d.
s51,634. The decline in British trade
imports is still greater, but the fact re-
mains that Venezuela buys less from
the United States than it did before
President Cleveland interfered in the
boundary question in a way to force
Great Britain into an arbitration now
nearly completed.
Republics are proverbially migrate
full, but statisticians at Washington are
puzzled to account for the fact that
Venezuelan purchases in the United
States have steadily declined since the
reciprocity days Of 1891. The British
minister at Caracas says the decline has
been due to the poverty of the country,
and in this way he accounts for the
greater decline in British trade, for that
country supplies more ~luxuries, while
the United States controls the trade in
breadstuffs. That there is q friendly
feeling toward the United States in Ven
ezuela on account of President Cleve-
lands enforcement of the Monroe doc
trlne is generally believed in Washing
ton, but it evidently is more sentiment
al than commercial.

TO USE MAXIM GUNS.
Recommendation Of Gen. Miles Con.
corning Weapon for Philippine
Campaign Meets Approval.

Gen. Burlington, the army chief of
ordnance, has had his way in the mat
ter of guns for the Philippines. His
recommendation for the equipment of
a mountain artillery force under Gen.
Otis has been rejected, and orders
which were issued at his instance to
carry out this plan have been revoked.
He was anxious that in the equipment
of the new arm which is likely to play
an important part. in the coming OPP
erations against the insurgents there
should be used hotchkiss
which were obtainable on the Pacific
coast, and he had assigned to the duty
of securing and transporting the guns
Capt. G. w. Van Deusen, of the Sey-
enth artillery.
Gen. Miles favored guns of the maxim
type, ~ in number, to be formed into
two batteries and firing explosive
shells loaded with shrapnell. The
deadly purpose of these guns is made
more apparent i'll such a campaign as
is necessary in the Philippines by the
fact that the sparks which were emitted
Would set fire to the huts of natives.
The guns were only obtainable abroad,
and Gen. Miles, as president of the
board of ordnance and fortificatiou,
declared they served the purpose bet
ter than anything at home. He saw
Secretary Root in this connection and
made a full report on the subject, and
as a result an order has now been placed
with the Maxim company of London.
Capt. Van Deusen will go abroad at
once n inspect the weapons, ship
them to Manila, and proceed to that
place. He will be placed in charge of
the mountain gun force when it is Or
gained. Three or four officers will be
selected 10 assist him, and the detail of
enlisted men will be made up of 50 SOL
dlers selected from the artillery arm.

INDUSTRIAL
Russia Is Pursuing n Policy Of Equip
ping Her New Factories with
Latest Modern Machinery.

While Russia began the development
OF its industrial resources much later
than other nations it is pursuing the
policy of equipping its new factories
with the latest modern machinery, and
adopting the most perfect methods of
manufacture, as shown in the many
new industrial plants in course of con-
struction, which are almost without
exception among the finest to be found
in Europe. These are being assisted by
the enterprise of Americans, who are
beginning to take advantage Of the OPP
portunities offered there.
Russia is the first country in Europe
to use the continuous air brake for it's
freight and military trains. This or
der involves the equipment of 300, 900
cars, as we'll as a large number of loco
motives, 10000 of which are to be fitted
with Westinghouse mir brakes and 24O,-
600 with air pipes and couplings inside
OF three years. This will place all the
cars under control of the air brakes, an
improvement over the American sys-
tenn of making up trains Of freight cars
with and without air brakes.

COW BOYS HAVE FUN
Make Wild Charges Through thu
Streets of Omaha.
They Yell Like Indians In the Most
Approved Wild West Style
-Montana Bill Comes
to Grief.

A dozen cowboys under the leader
ship of Montana Bill, a western char
acter of some fame, undertook to show
Omaha a hot time the other day after
they had delivered a train load of cattle
at the stock yards. They had their
COW ponies with them and each man
was provided with long hair, a belt
bristling with six shooters and leather
breeches. They were wild and woolly
and their horses were caparisoned like
Sioux Indian ponies in a war party.
The gang charged into the city Yell
ing like a thousand Apache Indians. A
large crowd followed them into the
Third ward, where they took charge
Of the district. They were by no means
so murderous as their appearance indi-
Gated, and did not resent the intrusion
of a policeman who timidly asked the
leader to move his men down the street,
MS they were attracting too much at
tention by their charging and whoop-
ing. On orders of the chief the whole
band moved off at a wild gallop, sing
ing and shouting, though making no
effort to draw their revolvers. They
were narrowly watched by the police,
as they were expected to do some shoot
ing.
After the wild band had stirred up
the Third ward they moved further
into the city and began 10 amuse them
selves charging motor cars. They
would form in double column and, wild
ly cheering, charge down the track on
an approaching car until just as the
motorman had turned his current off
in terror and dropped his fender to
