United States Ahead.

London, Oct 2l.--One of the most no.
table speeches OF last week was delivered
by Sir Robert Clifton, the noted stati-iician
and former president of the Statistical 50.
ciety, before the Manchester Statistical
society, upon tho population Of the
world. lie declared the growth OF the
United States compelled her recognition
as the most powerful state in the world
SO far as population and resources were
concerned. He pointed out that the
United States recently had a greater popu-
lation than any European state, for Great
Britain's strength might be considered di-
minished rather than increased by the
acquisition of large territories, while the
units OF the Russian population were so
inferior that the pre-eminence of the Unit
ed States is not questioned. According to
Sir Robert there are now only four great
world powers, the United States, Great
Britain, Russia and German, with France
a doubtful fifth. lie expressed the belief
that the "yelIow peril" would vanish,
as the yellow races we're being outnum-
bered by the Europeans, which in another
century would number 2!O00.0O0000.

Panama, Colombia, Oct. 2l.-Little is
known in any part of Colombia regarding
the conditions existing in the other sec
tions OF the country. Such points as are
connected by telegraph or cable are held
by the government and at such places the
bulk Of news conveys grandiloquent mar
natives Of victories achieved over the lib.
erals. The fact remains, however, that the
civil war goes merrily on. The country
il being drained of all its resources and
the most pitiful poverty prevails in all
directions The interior Of this naturally
fertile and rich land is devastated. Co.
lombia will, at the end of the war, be a
country OF paupers.
The city of Cueuta. the erst.
while liberal stronghold, near the
Venezuelan frontier, was recently
captured by the government forces
after siege Of 20 days. Accounts
OF the acts of brutality and the hOrrifying
scenes that met the eye at the surrender
of Cucuta have appeared in newspapers
of Maricaibo, Venezuela. This place, it
appears, was nearly razed to the ground.
Bodies lay in the debris in the streets in
a state Of putrefaction. A drunken sold
iery was let loose amid the nearly starved
inhabitants and every sort of bestislity
nate city is again besieged, but this time
by the liberals, 1000 strong, and the gov.
ernment is unable 10 raise the siege.

THE CENTRAL WASHINGTON.
No Extension of That Road Is Likely
at Present.

st. Paul. Mimi, Oc,. 22.-Although
the new maps of the Northern Pac. fc
show a proposed extension of the Cen
trail Washington branch II Is not be-
lieved that such an extension will be
built for many years IA at ell. "In the
first place." said a well-posted railroad
man recently, there is not sufficient
business to justify its construction.
The present branch is without excuse
for being, and an extension would only
make things worse. The chief bust.
ness done is the handling of wheat. It
is hauled east an average Of 10 miles
to be hauled west again on the main
line. With the ever present possibil-
ity of adverse legislation would be
the height of folly to extend the mile
age.
"The only extension of the branch
tina. good railroading would. justify
would be to continue the line on to the
coast, as was originally p,anned, but I
do not expect this will be done for some
years. Both Vice President Kendrick
and Chief Engineer McNiel oppose this
plan, and their advice counts heavily"

MINES AND MINING NEWS|
OUR NORTHWESTERN MINES
Items Cleaned From Late Reports
All Districts Are Being Developed
"A Prosperous Year Is Predicted
Mining Notes and Personals.

The first car of ore was loaded at the
Quilp mine last week by Montana"
Smith and started to the CRANKY smell
ter at Grand Forks. Another carload
will follow as soon as the teams return.
The mine is still producing the high
grade ore reported last week. The drift
has been started from the winZe on the
1OO-foot level to tap the pay shoot that
was exposed by the diamond drill some
weeks ago. A cross-cut is being driven
westward on the 200-foot level
The Black Tail is being developed in
a small way. Day shifts are making
two raises-one from the intermediate
level and the other still higher up. In
the last there is three and half feet of
ore that assays an average o. $40 per
ton, and in the first there is five feet of
ore that carries values of $22 per ton.
The winze from the No. level on the
San Poll is 60 feet deep.
Eleven sacks of magnificent ore TAX
en- out of the Morning Glory sampled
l,400 per ton. The ore was chiefly
from the main pay shoot and is the
richest the mine has produced.
The rich ore body discovered in the
Gold Ledge few days ago is growing
larger with each foot OF advancement.
Work is concentrated chiefly On the
south drift on the 100-foot level and it
lis progressing rapidly.

work is being carried on rapidly and
that the machinery was all in good
shape.
1t is learned from a relible source
that developments of quite sensational
Importance have recently been made on
the Mountain Lion. The find is of an
entirely new ledge, making three large
lodges on the company's ground.
The Review tunnel at Chesaw is In
over 600 feet, and according to the en-.
gineers' survey, within 30 feet of the
main ledge. The rock being taken out
is well mineralized and high assays are
being secured.
The Butte and Boston cross-cut had
been driven ITO feet last Monday. No
ledge has been encountered.
The finding Of rich ore on the Prin.
cess Maude, which is on the same ledge
has had much to do with giving an i'm
petus to the sales of the Butte and Bos-
ton stock.
There was considerable water met
with in the Princess Maude winze last
week. The inflow was SO great that
drilling was suspended.
The ore bin at the main Republic
mill was being filled yesterday from the
ore that has passed through the samp-
ling mill. The cars, holding a ton
passed from the sampler to the mill
about 400 feet about every four minutes
The car is a self-feeder and celf-dumper
and does its work admirably.
A considerable force of men were put
in the Slopes of the Republic mine
breaking ore. 1t is said that when the
mill Is in full operation the company
will have 200 men on the pay roll.
The Chico has started up again.

Hut They Were Recaptured and Re
turned TO Beaufort jail.
Beaufort, S. c.. June 1S.-Two negro
prisoners, Scipio Robinson and Sam Wal
lace, escaped from the county iail here
yesterday. They were temporarily confn-
ed, together with a little boy. in A cell
used for female prisoners, and broke
through lath and plaster partition
which separated them from a corridor. at
the end of which an iron door leading into
the Jail yard was open to admit an old
man whose duty 1t was to serve dinner.
The boy alarmed the keeper, but the men
had scaled the high fence surrounding the
promises and effected their escape. Mr.
w. c. Bellows. Jr., traced them across the
National Cemetery and through corn
field Immediately in its rear. Following the
trial II was found that they had gone dewn
10 the river and stolen a boat. AS the tide
was very low they could not get out into
the main river, SO went up into a narrow
creek In the marsh 20 wait for high tide
and there they were seen by several per
sons from the high bluff above the river
The deputy sheriff procured boat and
made towards them, but when he came up
10 their boat they were gone, and al
though the tide was high nothing was
seen of them until almost dark when
they were arrested in an exhausted cen
dition almost two miles from the loidt
where they had left their boat Sam
Wallace had attempted to swim across an
arm of Beaufort river, and was drowning
when he was captured. Both men had
thrown away their clothes and were nude
when captured. They were safely return
ed to jail at p. m. and placed in q steel
cell. where il is not likely they will effect
