Military Government suIl In Control at

The military government established

tinues, the military commanders re-
fusing to yield the collection OF taxes
TO the Chinese.
They also decline to submit the ques-
ton OF their control OF the native city
to the ministers OF the foreign powers
holding that a eontinuance OF the milf
tary government is vital to the main
tenAnce OF communication between
Pekin aud Taku. The ministers APP
parently regard the matter as within

York from Havana on leave Of absence.
He Ia captain Of the port at that city

In Cuba. In discussing the relations
between Cuba and the United States.
he expressed himself In favor OF an
nexation, saying:
1.-THE economic conditions OF Cuba At
the present time are worse than ever
In its history, even worse than at the
close OF the ten years war. Its sugar
is being sold at s3.i35( for 100 pounds.

raise III 10 per cent OF the tobacco
crop Is unsold and sweating in tho
barns. There Is not candidate booked

gresa who could sign his pRms for n

"Ail the successful Industries n
ouba are dependent on the united
States and annexation Is the only sal
walton OF Cuba, for annexation means
free trade with u.s."

OUR OPIUM BILL.
Last Year it Amounted to About a
Million Dollars.

On million dollars worth of opium
prepared for smoking comes into our
ports annually, says the New York
World This amount, considering the
activity of opium smugglers and the
ease of carrying tiny packages of the
drug, probably does not represent
one-half of the total amount of such
opium brought into our country each
year.
Fifteen years ago the total amount
of opium, crude, liquid preparations of.
and opium prepared for smoking,
which passed through our custom
house was valued at $1.25J,O53. The
amount of opium prepared for smok-
ing was $335,3S3 worth. In 1900 the
total amount of opium imported was
valued at $2,O6,939, and $93S,52 worth
of that amount was opium used for
smoking.
These figures show an increase ii.
the last fifteen years of $S26,S86 in
value of total import and an increase
of $603,141 in value of imported opium
for smoking.
Crude opium and opium for medici-
nal purposes are imported by whole.
sale drug companies and distributed
in the form of morphine, laudanum
and opium tablets to druggists. Opium
prepared for smoking is imported by
private individuals, mostly Chinese
who secretly sell it directly to opium
smokers or wholesale it to small drug
shops where it can easily be pur-
chased by persons desiring it, al
though there is law prohibiting its
sale, except on certificate from a
doctor.
The opium habit is not confined to
the smoking of opium. This form
claims comparatively few victims. A
greater number chew gum opium or
eat the opium tablets, while vastly
greater number still use the drug in
the form of morphine injections.
Among morphine victims women
probably predominant. AS rule, wo-
men have more leisure time than men
and this habit cannot easily be contin-
ued by any person regularly employed
A man may drink to a degree and yet
pursue regular business, but opium
or morphine deadens the mind and
saps the energy, rendering man UNI
mt for anything except to sleep and
dream.

from its concession, but subsequently
decided that it had no right to inter-
fere. A lake of asphalt which is worth
hundreds of billions of dollars" is a
more valuable possession than all the
gold and diamond mines Of the world,
IL there should be steady and general
demand for asphalt. No wonder the
syndicates fell out about its owner
ship, or that the Venezuelan govern
ment should claim the right TO cancel
all concessions and eject those who
were taking asphalt from the lake.
On the assumption that the value of
the deposit is not oyerestimated Vene-
zuela is the richest country in the
world. All the cotton, wheat and to-
hacco made in the United States since
the war of the revolution scarcely sold
for such sum of money as the
amount vaguely described as hun
dreds of billions of dollars" The gold
mines of south Africa, Australia and
the Yukon are insignificant wealth
producers compared with the Vene-
zuela lake of asphalt 1t is not surpris-
ing that the Venezuelans should seek
to confscate it. There is wealth
enough in the lake, according to the
New York Times correspondent, to
make the South. American republic a
nation of bloated bondholders. The
late Col. Mulberry Sellers never
dreamed of such bonanza.

Ode to a Typewriter.

When first we met in '82,
Dear friend and comrade tried and
true,
You wore a ribbon neat and new,
Half-hid but coyly latent;
( marked with awe the fair expanse
OF your bright clever countenance,
So open to the merest glance,
In every working patent.
Then came our courtship and inapt
/. wondered if your hands were tapped,
What you would say I'd sit enrapt
Or round you reconnoitre;
| dared to touch and soon to trace
Upon your fine expressive face
Poetic thoughts that came apace,
Though now they rather loiter.
Late hours n'er hurt nor midnight oil
Could your iron constitution spoil
(Ah, different now when age and toll
Make you each day infirmer):
Once when l worshiped at your shrine
And left a spanner to recline
In your inside, did you repine?
You scarcely made murmurl
That front hook once looped behind;
1t must have hurt you-did you mind?
No; you just thought MY love is
blind
But true affection nurses!"
But now, times ravages you show,
Asthmatic, feeble, wayward grow;
The way of mortal things you go,
And with you go-my verses.
An undecipherable fist
Is mine; then how shall | exist
And gain the needful daily grist?
When prospects once were brighter,
| might have bought another; now
My means are far too small, | vow,
Nor will they typist fees allow
So scant Inc sums make per thou"
Per Sc, my old Typewriter!

understood the true relations OF the
general commanding with the secre-
tary of war. He appreciated the fact
that the commanding general was,
after all, subject to the orders OF the
secretary of war, and was to all in
tents chief of staff, whose duty 1t
was to see that those orders were
carried into effect. Sherman and
Sheridan were never able to adjust
themselves to this relationship. They
were soldiers, and nothing else. Ac-
customed to command and to have
their orders obeyed without question,
it irritated them and angered them

A LAKE WORTH OWNING.
Asphalt Bed Better Even Than Gold
Mine

The lake of asphalt in Venezuela
over which two American syndicates
are squabbling is possession worth
hghting for. If the enterprise were
properly managed ii ought to prove a
source of almost incalculable wealth
to the owners. The lake is about five
miles long and three miles wide. The
asphalt taken from it is said to be the
best and purest in the world. 1t is
refined by heating it until the water
evaporates, there being no scum, dirt
or foreign matter in it. The supply
IS inexhaustible, and the lake. as de-
seribed in the New York Times by one
VINO has seen it. lis a huge, black sea
OF wealth. stretching out as far as the
eye can reach" The excavations fill
up as rapidly as the worlmen leave
them, and mo amount of reasonable
work in taking out asphalt can pro-
duce a visible diminution of the sup
ply. It is well of wealth that never
overfiows and is always filled to the
brlm. Its upcoming is wrapped in
mystery, its birth time is unknown.
It is impossible to estimate its actual
value as mefchantable commodity,
and to say at hazard that ii Il worth
hundreds of billions of dollars is not
putting the figures too high"
Very little has been heard of late
of the dispute between the VENEZUELAN
government and the American syndi-
cate which claims exclusive rights to
take asphalt from this lake. The
United States government threatened
to intervene few weeks age to pre-
