 4 dispatch from Caracas says Vene- .uela has declared all the mouths of the OrinocC delta open to international navigation. About 50 arms of the river flow directly seaward, but only seven of them are accessible to large vessels. The delta branch which is most frequented hy steamers is the Macareo, which flows to the coast op- posite the island of Trinidad, and of fers direct inland navigation from Ciudad Bolivar, far up the Orinoco, to Port of Spain, the flourishing port of Trinidad. The most important branch of the upper Orinoco is the Meta river, which rises on the eastern slope of the lofty plateau on which Bogota stands and is navigable for post of it's course by vessels drawing several feet of water. It presents, with the Orinoco, the shortest route between the great central plateau of Colombia and the Atlantic seshoard. In other words. it helps to make a navigable waterway from the Andes to Europe and is re- garded as the great coming highway between Bogota and European ports. Among the Orinoco delta streams are the rich Ian $ conceded by the Vene- zuelan government to the Orinocc comrany, limited, an American con- cern, whose concession, according to reports from Caracas, has been revo]l ed on account of it's alleged failure to fulfill it's contract Some towns in the delta appear to have fourishing future.

FORMER LEXINGTON (KYD MAN SENDS
CHALLENGE TO EX-CONGRESSMAN
w. C. p. BRECKINRIDGE'S

A man seated himself in the cafe of the Fifth
Avenue Hotel last night and. bringing his fist
down on the table, turned to companion and
muttered these words:
Il want a duel. Pistols. of course. Thirty
eight calibre. That will fix him. Any time,
anywhere. Let me get at him. That's all"
The curiosity of the little crowd in earshot
was aroused to a high pitch by this language,
which, in the minds of most of those who heard,
presaged a passage of arms. When pressed for
explanation the man said that his name
was P. T. Farnsworth, and that he was con-
nected with an evening paper in this city.

ing he going to Philadelphia Mr.. Holde
an examiner from the office of the Commissioner
of Accounts had been examining Alden's books
a good part of the day. and Mr. Keller said the
investigation had not been completed.
OF course 1 know in a general way how
things stand" he said. but don't know what
the developments may be. l am sure of one
thing. however. and that is that Alden might
return tomorrow and face me or any other
man. There is absolutely nothing of a criminal
nature against him"

clerk, and George Blair, Superintendent of the
Outdoor Poor Department. Ryan with his
chief more than two hours. His accounts and
those of Superintendent Blair gone over
for any light which might be thrown on the
affairs of the missing secretary. The examina-
ton of Mr.. Blairs books showed that he had
expended considerably than he had re-
ceived from the city for dispensing and that,
as a consequence, the city owed money to him.
At the home of Mr.. Alden. No 129 East Nine

later that she was on the verge of collapse. The
Commissioner was told by Mr.. Holde that Mrs

band was in Philadelphia. Commissioner Keller
said he thought this must be a mistake He
was sure, he said that Mrs. Alden did not know
yesterday where her husband then, even If
she had been informed of his movements pre-
yiously.
A visitor to the Charities Department in the
afternoon was John Alden, of The Brooklyn

Alden remained with the Commissioner for
about an hour.

CHARLES E. POWER DEAD.

Charles z. Power, business manager for Mrs Min
ME Maddern Fiske, died suddenly at St Mary's
Hospital Brooklyn. yesterday. age forty-two years
Mr.. Power was prostrated last spring by the death
Of his sister. to whom he greatly attached and
her death preyed upon his mind to such an extent
that for a time he was afflicted with nelanchoa.
He apparently recovered in the summer, and in the
autumn resumed his duties but was taken sick
again about five weeks ago and went to ST. Mary's
Hospital Latterly he had seemed to his
former health, and yesterday morning ate a hearty
breakfast, soon after which he died from apoplexy
Mr. Power had been associated with Mrs. Fiske as
business manager since 1895. He previously had
been at different times manager or business man

funeral will probably take place tomorrow at ST.

GROUT's REPLY TO WLAUGHLIN.
HE SAYS THAT THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN
MANY CONTRACTS.

Challenged ny Hugh Mclaughlin to show
where, to his personal knowledge, the Demo-
cratic leaders in Kings County had made any
improper requests of city officials, Controller
elect GroUt said yesterday:
The city charter carefully provides that no city
contract Yet the public danger is no less and any
political party necessarily suffer greatly II
those leaders who nominate officers and procure the
appointment OF employees are permitted by pubnc
opinion TO be interested in city contracts and
grants. Does anybody need at this day TO have
the history Of the Long Island Water Supply Com
pany rehearsed, be told that such history was
tracted struggle the city finally got possession Of
the plant for less than half of what was sought
for il? Or does anybody deny that habitants of
No Niloughby-st. were interested in that COM
pany, or in the garbage and ash contract before
consolidation, the railroad and electric lighting
franchises? Let Mr.. Mclaughlin make inquiry
among his associates and hnd out who the
stockholders in the Borough Construction Com
pany and so much interested in its contracts, and
VINO are interested in many other of the Brooklyn
contracts of the last four years. He may be
prlsed TO learn that his influence is used sustain
advisers and leutenants who. by such influences,
able to distance political contractors both
in getting and in doing municipal work.
The bidding for city work will never be right
unless every bidder be assured of the same
treatment, and that never be done if party
leaders are 10 be competitors. That is the reason

SIONER'S PLANS.

The commissioners appointed In September to
hear and report the proposed extension of the
rapid transit system to Brooklyn filed its report
yesterday in the office OF the clerk of the Appel
late Division of the Supreme Court. The report is
in favor Of the construction and operation OF the
road according to the plans prepared and submit
ted by the Board OF Rapid Transit Commissioners.
The proposed route is under Broadway from the
City Hall south and with a tunnel under the East
River. similar commission was appointed by
the Appellate Division for the Second Department
which had to deal more especially with that por-
ton of the route lying within Kings County.
The report says in part:
Concerning the route proposed from the City Hail.
In the Borough OF Manhattan the Battery. this
system as originally contemplated and received as
part OF that system the approval Of the public
authorities. Its construction : a part thereof
was. however abandoned for the time being. in
view OF the necessity for devising more econom-
ical system than at first proposed II needs new
ertheless but glance at the plans to demonstrate
tenn under construction in the Borough OF Manhat-
tan, and essential TO AFFORD the same conveniences
as are afforded TO those who transact business
above that point
AS the question OF cost Of the road. It remains
TOT us TO direct attention 10 the fact that Is safely
within the statutory limit. Before proceeding 10
Board of Rapid Transit Commissioners applied to
the municipal authorities 10 ascertain what amount
the proposed road They were informed that the
amount was from ss 100000 TO 10000 900 They

for the privilege OF constructing and operating the
road it will be found that the road viii be con-

thorized to be expended by the New-York Rapid

view of the financial condition Of the city of New
opinion, wise and prudent the part of the Board

vide for the construction OF railroad which will
not cost to exceed SO 100000.
